5/3/25 It was time for more coleslaw. My husband had a cheese burger, and I had the club sandwich. We both had a brownie for dessert. I had half of everything for my lunch today, and it was still delicious. 4/23/25 We went back because we were hungry for coleslaw. We've ordered it other places but it doesn't come close to the flavor of this! We've decided that this is the only place we'll order it in the future. I had the chicken sandwich today and took half of it home, along with some coleslaw my husband had the ham and cheese but was too busy eating it for me to take a photo. You need to come in and enjoy a great meal! They make coleslaw like Mama did. Yummy!

We were looking for a spot to grab lunch while visiting the area. We had tried a few other places earlier in the week with award winning burgers - their flavor did not have anything on Parker’s! So glad we found this spot - welcoming, excellent and fast service, we hope to visit again.

Our son was visiting from Florida and we wanted to take him to a locally owned, small restaurant for lunch. We drive by Parker's daily, but have never stopped in. Wow! What a gem! We were greeted immediately by a very friendly and pleasant woman( the owner) . She answered all of our questions, took our orders and got our drinks for us. My wife had a clubhouse sandwich that was huge. It was too big too hold, lots of ham, turkey and cheese. My son and I had bacon burgers ( excellent!) and onion rings and fries. Everything was fantastic and the service was even better.

If you’re searching for a truly exceptional family-run restaurant, Parker’s Burgers and Sweets is a must-visit. This charming spot, run by a couple with years of catering experience, offers a menu full of homemade delights that are nothing short of delicious. We’ve had the pleasure of trying a variety of dishes, including their breakfast sandwiches, biscuits and gravy, chicken biscuit, club sandwich, and burgers. Each item is expertly crafted and perfectly cooked, making every visit a treat. Their desserts are to die for, we’ve had their apple and cherry pie, chocolate cake and cinnamon rolls. What truly sets Parker’s apart is the personal touch they bring to their service. The owners know the names of almost every person who walks through the door, demonstrating their genuine care for their customers. They even go above and beyond by organizing holiday shut-ins for the community, showcasing their commitment to giving back. I also had the chance to purchase a lovely ladybug painting, discovering that the owner helps sell items from local small businesses in their store. It’s clear that they support their community in more ways than one. Parker’s Burgers and Sweets has become our favorite spot whenever we’re in town. It’s not just a place to enjoy great food, but a place where you feel truly welcomed and valued. We’ve definitely found our go-to spot. In our last visit we found that they added a patio which is amazing so when we travel with our puppy we can still dine in, well out.

I can't say anything bad about this place. The food was good, it was about the same cost as what you would spend at McDonald's. But the food is more wholesome and looks like it came fresh from a back yard grill out. They offer breakfast aswell. Menus and hours are in the pics. They sell and will make you a custom shirt to oder aswell!

Super friendly staff and great biscuits and tots. I got the steak, egg, and cheese biscuit. Highly recommend. The owners went out of their way to make our group feel welcome. Great experience!

Found this little local jewel on vacation in the area. Friendly staff and great food. The friend pork rinds were home made and some of the best I've had. The burgers were great also. Will definitely be back the next time I'm in the area

Amazing Place... Amazing Experience! We took my daughter out to eat for my 13th birthday. She was craving burgers and we decided to give Parker’s a try. From the moment we walked in we felt welcomed. Our burgers were made to order and cooked to perfection. The meat tasted fresh and the burger was structured perfectly so that you can savor every bite. The fries were nice and crispy and the Coleslaw, made in house, was the perfect addition to my sides. The entire team sang my daughter Happy Birthday and brought us all the most delicious cupcakes to celebrate. This gesture made my daughter’s day extra special and one to remember. If you’re looking for the best burgers in town and a cozy and friendly environment, look no further. We will definitely be visiting again in the near future.
