Parkside Restaurant

09/28- couples brunch. Everyone enjoyed their food. I ordered the Buffalo chicken sandwich and fries. My husband opted for the chicken and waffles with a side of mac n cheese. While the mac n cheese wasn't traditional, it was tasty.My girlfriend and her husband also enjoyed their food. Service was prompt which is always a plus!

We were in town for a convention and the security guard there recommended this place a few blocks away for breakfast. Unfortunately by the time we arrived it was lunch time, but we didn't mind at all.It's a nice place with friendly service and an upscale diner vibe. My husband had the ribeye steak sandwich and I had a French Dip. They were similar sandwiches actually but with different toppings. The meat was tender and yummy on both. I loved the option for tater tots. Definitely worth the short walk and a great option for a meal in the area.

Easily made a same-day res for 6 people for brunch on a Saturday, but unfortunately this spot was not it. I tried:+ Parkside burger - good but nothing special+ Chicken and waffle sandwich - total letdown, chicken was neither crispy nor hot+ Tater tots - great + Tater tot hash - amazing, this was the best thing I tried+ Belgian waffle - amazing, other best thing + Mac and cheese - mehI guess come for the Belgian waffle and the tater tot hash. Otherwise, you can get much better Southern fare at Beasley's or Tupelo Honey.

After wanting to check Parkside out for a while, I finally went before a sold-out weeknight show at Red Hat Amphitheater. Parkside was slammed with fellow show goers, no doubt. But they handled the crowd with aplomb and didn't make us feel like they were in a rush. Really solid first experience, I'll be back again. They sat us 15 mins after my reservation, but they were communicative and attentive as they could be. Our beers and fried pickles came out fast and tasted great. I loved my French dip, fries, and homemade ranch for the main event. It was hard to choose from the menu, it was right up my alley. I found it pretty cool they do a meat-and-three special as well, might try it next time.Definitely a downtown gem with fair prices and good management. Great value and experience all-around.

We made a brunch reservation at Parkside so we could ensure we had a hearty meal before heading to the first day of Dreamville ... and a hearty meal was exactly what we got (& even came back the next day for another meal bc this first one was so dang good).The restaurant was lively, buzzing and busy and service was A+ despite this.We ordered the mimosa flight because what's brunch without mimosas and we went with the Pimento Cheese with Fried Saltine Crackers and the Fried Pickle Spears since these were two things we've never had ... OOOOOOMMMMGGGGG OUT OF THIS WORLD!!! The crackers left us speechless because they by themselves are a bite your mouth thanks you for and with the pimento cheese it's an all around party! The pickles were super crunchy and fried to perfection and we couldn't stop eating them.I had the fried pork chop and cheddar waffle with a side of cheese grits for my entree and that pork chop was fried to PERFECTION! They also add on diced peaches and a side of a peach puree which at first I was like I don't know about this ... but clearly Parkside did because the combo was MAGICAL! Oh and the cheese grits ... probably the best I've ever had! Our meal left us stuffed but we literally needed more which is why we came back the very next day lol! Highly recommend Parkside when you're in the mood for the best brunch food!

I recently returned to Parkside and realize it is time to update my review. They now offer brunch on Saturdays and Sundays. It is a busy place so make sure to make your reservations.Service was wonderful as the waitress was patient while we chatted for a bit and we weren't rushed. Another change is that they switched to taking cards at the table so your credit card is never out of your sight. It made things faster too.I went with the short rib benedict as I love my eggs benedict and trying different spins on them. This one had the runny yolks that I prefer and the boneless short rib went well with the biscuit. I still prefer an english muffin to the biscuit though but the ingredients worked well together.

Atmosphere: Parkside has a casual bar-taproom ambiance. It can get pretty crowded especially on weekends! Service: Our server was friendly, and our food came out quickly. Food: We've tried their Biscuit & Chorizo Gravy, as well as their Chicken & Waffle Sandwich with a side of black eyed peas. The Biscuit & Chorizo Gravy was pretty one-note in terms of flavor. We much preferred the Chicken & Waffle Sandwich. Although the chicken was a bit small, we loved the harissa maple syrup! The waffle was also ok, not standing out too much in the dish. The black eyed peas were a great side choice and went well with the chicken. Overall: Parkside is a convenient spot to grab food if you're in downtown Raleigh. Neither of our dishes completely wowed us, but we'd be down to give them a try again due to the convenient location and decent variety of menu options.

The service was good, the food was delicious!! Came here on Easter and there was a really long wait for inside but no wait for outside. We sat outside and it was a beautiful day. I had never been here before but all of the food was fresh and delicious! Can't wait to go back and try different items!

This place was in walking distance of our hotel and had a variety of food in the menu. I got the meatloaf and though I don't like mushrooms the gravy was really really good so I just picked around them. You get a decent amount of food and the potatoes were delicious. I also got a Moscow mule and it was made perfectly. My server was very attentive and made sure to also give me time to enjoy my meal. Seating is decent in the inside and they also have outdoor seating.

The food and service were great! Sophia took care of me and my wife; she was attentive and friendly. We started with a hummus order (large and fresh) and we enjoyed it. I had the "meat and 3" fried chicken, black eyed peas, broccoli and Parkside salad. My wife had a Mediterranean bowl. Everything was great , we'll be back!
