PARKSIDE DINER HISTORY

Parkside Diner was established in June 1990 and is located near the shores of Lake Ontario at 4353 Culver Road, SeaBreeze, NY 14622. Sole proprietor Jim Papas opened the 40-seat diner serving breakfast, lunch and dinner in 1990. The diner’s reputation quickly caught on and in 1992 Jim brought in his brother and partner Greg Papas. The two brothers expanded the dining room and kitchen and in 1994 the first addition was completed, increasing the seating capacity up to 70-seats. Four years later in 1998, due to high customer demand, the Papas brothers expanded their dining room again and now comfortably seat up to 110 patrons. Parkside Diner has become the most popular diner in the Town of Irondequoit serving patrons sometimes up to three times a day. Open daily at 6am. Stop in to eat at the Parkside Diner and see for yourself why it has become Irondequoit’s favorite neighborhood place.

Since 1997, the Papas brothers also own and operate Parkside’s Whispering Pines Miniature Golf, recently renovated in 2012, located right next door. The miniature golf is a seasonal operation and is open throughout the spring, summer and fall. Parkside’s Whispering Pines is also listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the oldest miniature golf course in the United States having opened in 1930. The course was built from fossil stone purchased from out west during the Miniature Golf boom. The course has a very unique design, which has entertained generations for decades. Stop by for some fun and putt 18 holes while getting a glimpse of history. Please call diner for hours as they change during the season.

Our goals at the Parkside are to provide our customers with the best service possible and to serve a hearty satisfying meal. Word of mouth is the best advertising possible and we hope you enjoyed your meal with us and tell all your friends about the Parkside Diner. We thank you for your patronage and hope to serve you again soon.

Your Hosts,
Jim and Greg Papas
