| - Pike's is a charming, retro styled diner in Southend. The only daunting thing about this establishment is the parking. If you can parallel park on the street, you are good to go.
My man and I ordered the vegetable plate. You could chose 4 vegetables, or three and a salad. We chose the salad with blue cheese dressing. A very generous portion arrived, with fresh, crisp vegetables. The dressing was a bit thin, and I would have enjoyed chunks of blue cheese.
My veggie plate featured the mashed potatoes, fried okra, and broccoli casserole. Oh my goodness! Such incredible flavors that caused me to eat it all although I probably should have stopped. My husband ordered the same, except he substituted Mac and cheese for the potatoes.
Our server was the sweetest thing and embodied real, genuine soda shop service.
So, daunting parking aside, I am coming back.
