    I finally got to bring my husband here after dining twice with my son & absolutely loving it, & now he sees what we have been raving about! It has the perfect environment for a nice date night that doesn't break the bank. Our server was pleasant & attentive. I enjoyed the Diver Scallops - hand caught scallops pan seared w/roast butternut squash risotto + grilled Bok Choy toasted pepitas + herbed gremolata + parmesan + crispy fried sage ($36). The scallops were cooked to perfection, as was the risotto. There were so many delicious savory flavors & the Bok Choy added a nice crunch. It was the perfect meal for a cool evening & the portion was perfect. Absolutely worth every penny. My husband had the El Diablo Burger - ghost pepper jack + barbacoa + pico guacamole + shaved lettuce + smoked garlic aioli ($22). I am typically not super into barbacoa, but this burger changed my mind. The guacamole was so creamy & helped balance the heat from the cheese. The meat was tender & delicious, very well-seasoned. Neither of us could get over how amazing that burger was. Would absolutely order again. The menu does change seasonally, but so far I have had nothing short of a 5-star experience & have had something different every time, which is unlike me, but I like that the ever-changing menu gives me that opportunity. Being located in Summit Park also gives diners the opportunity to enjoy all the beauty the park has to offer before/after a nice hearty meal. I know we will absolutely be back again.

    Enjoyed the Nashville Hot wings, the Waldorf salad, and Chili dusted Mahi. All were very good. The hot wings are gigantic (awkward to eat with a knife and fork, but extremely messy if you don't). Love the location here at Summit park.

    We just wrapped up our dinner and I have to say, I was super impressed! It was a decently busy Saturday night, but we secured reservations through their website super easily just a little over an hour before we wanted to eat, so that was nice. Some of the tables have high backed benches that help to make you feel a little more isolated than you would think, given the amount of tables in the size. It felt a little more romantic, and despite being nearly full, the overall ambient noise level was fairly low, which was also nice. For the price, it's going to be really hard to beat the quality of meal you're going to receive. I kept it simple and ordered a burger, their El Diablo, which featured ghost pepper cheese, barbacoa, pico de gallo and guacamole. It was cooked perfectly and each element was fantastic. The barbacoa was amazing and the guacamole was super creamy. My wife ordered diver scallops with a butternut squash risotto and roasted red pepper sauce that was to die for. The scallops were perfect and the roasted red pepper flavor shined through. All in all, we were both very pleased - and very full - when all was said and done. As far as quality is concerned, for the price, that is some of the best food I've ever had.

    It was a busy Saturday night so we had to wait a little longer than usual. We got the hummus platter as an appetizer, burgers, and tofu on salad. The hummus platter is wonderful. 4 out of 5 of us enjoyed it. (My husband doesn't eat hummus.) The curried tofu on salad was filling, but I didn't expect one large piece of tofu. The guys really liked the fries - those were finished but the burgers weren't. We shared the chocolate banana bread for dessert for our daughter's Birthday. The liquid ganache in the center was a really nice touch. My daughter liked the Caramelized banana.

    Getting a quick dinner before Army!

    Everyone was very welcoming and the bartender did a great job keeping up with all her drink requests and serving her area. The ambiance is cool. Inside and outside seating. My food was good and wife's salad was good too. We will be back. The burnt carrots are not good.

    Nice little lunch spot in Summit Park. I had the chicken and waffles and it was surprisingly delicious. Our waitress was great as well.

I was going to eat burger but nachos sounded good along with pretzel/beer cheese (appetizer fare). I ordered a Miller lite on draft to wash it down. Atmosphere was decent but unless other fare is better then I would not go to eat the food. Pretzels were meh with a really salty cheese. The ground beef nachos lacked any flavor and with microwaved cheese clinging to the chips looked like a mound of mush; I do not recommend either items. The draft Miller light (yes I know it is not boojie micro brewed beer) was cold so that was decent. I give this place a 2 star, meaning I would eat here (trying a different menu item) but someone would definitely floating the bill. 1 - Just go on a fast or eat dirt 2- Crazy hungry or someone else paying 3- Not bad and not great 4 - Yummy Yummy 5 - OMG!

The burger was fantastic, juicy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The chicken wrap was just as good, packed with flavor and not dry like so many places manage to do. Even the Caribbean salad was a standout! The fruit tasted unbelievably fresh, like it came straight from a farmers market that morning. But the real showstopper? The onion straws. Do yourself a favor and pay the extra couple bucks for them they're out of the park good. Friendly service, great atmosphere, and food that's way better than it has any right to be for a casual spot. Highly recommend.

Then I thought okay it's mid week, lunch time, so I came in. I was limited on time, came in and ordered a pizza and a beer. Told the server she could serve it in the to go box since I had to go sooner than I would have liked. Service was friendly, prompt and she still checked on me after I had paid. Although the place was not busy, there was a large table with a baby and 2 pre schoolers. They were all well behaved, but still I'm always surprised that breweries are now for kids. I really liked the decor!

My husband was saying how much better it will be when we come back in the summer with the huge patio and all the garage doors open. I agreed, but I also think part of the reason we loved it so much was that even though it was a cold, gray February day, inside Parks and Rec had so much greenery and lots of windows so it felt summery inside! Our server was super friendly and went over the menu with us, telling us which items were most popular and which were his favorites. I got the peanut butter porter which was really good and hubby liked his s'mores stout as well. We split one of their huge pretzels which came with whole grain mustard and beer cheese...delish!! Then I got a 1/2 apple and pecan salad, which was more pecans, apples and dried cranberries than salad (and I mean that in the best way!) My husband let me try one of his chicken wings which had a nice spice to it. We were very pleasantly surprised at how great our whole experience was because the reviews were pretty mixed but honestly, it was a great visit from start to finish. Highly recommend!
