The Parkway Tavern

This is one of my go to casual places to eat in the area. The burgers and sandwiches are fantastic, and I love getting the Reuben eggrolls.The cocktails are ok, nothing too fancy, but the food is always spectacular

Little hole in the wall spot in Cary in a grocery store shopping center. Once you hit the front door, you'll think you're on an episode of bar rescue and Jon Taffer is going to step out at any moment screaming. However, the food was decent. Nachos were basic, but the chicken was very good on them. The wraps surprised us and were above average. Fresh cut fries and the burger was also decent. If you literally want a clean hole in the wall experience, with food you'll not regret ordering, this is a good spot for you.

I received a birthday coupon for a free appetizer and since I'd never eaten here before I thought I'd give it a try. Nachos are a favorite that I can make a meal out of so thought that would be the perfect thing for me, and it was! The waitress was great and the owner's wife was super welcoming. There's 14 tv's if you're there to watch sports you're sure to find your game. Plus the black ceiling has tiny lights in it that look like stars. The waitress said during football season they can change colors to match a team's colors. Cute!Back to the nachos. I don't know how they chopped the tomatoes so tiny for the pico, but they did to a point that they're cute! Rather than melting shredded cheese on the nachos they use a white sauce, which is different. The pickled jalapeños were delicious. You have your choice of either chipotle chicken (also chopped very tiny) or beans. I got the chicken, which was just ok. I'd try the beans next time. It also comes with a cup of sour cream. They have two sizes of nachos and of course I got the bigger one. I ate a lot of it, but couldn't finish it all. It hit the spot!

By far, this pub has the best food of any we have been to in Cary. They have a good selection of draft beers as well as canned or bottled brews. The two things that really stand out are the services and cook. We go here at least once a week. We know many staff by name and they often know us too. I highly recommend the burgers, parkway chicken sandwich, steak sandwich, chicken strips, and quesadillas. They have lots of TVs to watch sports. For those who like it, they sometimes have trivia night or dart games.

Ordered a Caesar salad. It came out with 2 small cups of dressings on the side not mixed in. I ordered 2 more dressings because the two provided was not enough. I was charged $1 for the additional dressings. I did not ask for the dressings to be on the side. While mixing in the dressing all of the coating on the chicken tenders came off. The portion of salad vs. Parmesan cheese and croutons was off as well.

Great service, great food. I got the black bean burger with onion rings, and i can't complain. Im not usually a fan of black bean burgers bc of their texture, but the flavors in this one were really good. It does easily fall apart but still very thankful they had a vegetarian option.

I've been to Parkway a couple times, I've never really been all that impressed despite other people telling me how good their food is. Maybe I'm ordering the wrong menu items but both times I got the burger. There's just something about the burger that I don't like. It's juicy and cooked properly, but it just has a very odd flavor to it with an off-putting aftertaste, I don't know if they put fish sauce in the meat or what, but I won't order a burger there again. This last time I ordered the fried potato salad as a side and went whole hog and ordered the mac and cheese appetizer. The mac and cheese was amazing but when it came out I assumed that they had just given me a side dish portion because it certainly did not appear to be worth anywhere near the $9 that they're asking for it, but indeed that's what it was! The so-called fried potato salad is odd, it's like fried breakfast potatoes with some kind of pimento cheese topping on it. It's not terrible, but I certainly wouldn't want to eat it again. Luckily their menu is fairly extensive so I'm sure one day I'll figure out something I like here

We dined at The Parkway Tavern for dinner. I ordered a beer and the BLT with a slice of pepper jack cheese and my husband ordered the breakfast burger with pesto pasta salad. The service was really good but the food was just okay. If you want bar food around the area, check it out.

Normally the food and service are pretty good but when they when they go wrong everything goes. The burgers all overdone, fries cooked to within an inch of being carbon and onion rings that crumble due to being overcooked. What's there answer, comping the appetizer and charge $50 for the three burgers. A normal establishment would have competed at least park of the main meal if not all of it. Whatever you order is your and you pay for it whether or not they know how to cook.

The burger was average, but the fries were the worst I've ever had. I didn't even know fries could be this bad. They were really burnt.
