The service was good, the bartender was a bit overwhelmed. It was not lit well inside but it was still a good vibe. The salad was really good 10/10. The eggrolls were not my favorite (the salmon tasted canned) 5/10. My sister got the Sticky ribs 9/10 My drink was not strong at all. I got a Paloma. read more

First and last time trying Parkside District! The food was deplorable! I am tremendously disappointed and feel like I was set up. Most of the reviews are stating the vibe and the food is good. I'm not sure but even when I asked the staff after many failed attempts they were apologetic and couldn't really recommend much from the menu. The food wasn't palpable! For appetizers we got the bang bang salmon egg rolls that were drenched in bang bang sauce which made them too soft and over powered the egg rolls. For an entree, I first ordered the crab stuff shrimp. EPIC FAIL! The sauce had a tangy vinegar taste and was all over the dish and I had to send it back! The linguine was drenched in sauce and over cooked, with small pieces of seafood (it could have been imitation seafood for all we know). The red snapper was rubbery and the rice was not cooked with a touch of salt and fake Cajun coloring. I honestly blame the TikTokers and google reviews for misleading me, if you like good food do not go here for dinner!!! read more

The lamb chops are my favorite here! Even though they've removed the lamb chop entrée from the menu, you can still order the lamb pops and add sides, which is a win in my book. The lamb is always tender, well-seasoned, and cooked to perfection. The street corn and potato and parsnip mash are also incredible and pair perfectly with the lamb. read more

Went for a group dinner after a wedding. The dinner was pre planned and there was a reservation. We arrived and it was almost as though they didn't know we were coming. The only drink offered was water until we asked. When I asked if I could order, from the set menu, one protein on a setup from one of the other menu items, I was immediately told, "no we can't do that." So, I asked if she would ask if they would. She returned and said yes, they would --for a small up charge. Which was no problem, but why?? It's was 24-25 people with only one server. The young lady a good job considering. The food was good. Just thought it could have been a LOT better. I will go back to see if it is better service when the party is smaller. Just won't go for a large party. read more

Amazing! I wish I could recall our servers name. She was awesome and provided excellence in service. We are visiting from California and hadn't had any good food until...we found this restaurant. 10 out of 10. Our food was delicious. The drinks were refreshing and dessert was scrumptious. Will always come back every single time we are in the area. I shoild have waited to review because I will probably be back tomorrow. The restaurant has great ambiance and they even have a dedicated room for private events read more

We visited Parkside District in Lawrenceville today, and everything was great! David (Dave) made our experience especially memorable with his phenomenal service. Our party of 14 grew to 16, and he handled it with professionalism and ease. Taking care of a group that size is no small task, but Dave was amazing throughout our visit. Thank you, Dave, for making our experience such a wonderful one! read more

I'm normally not the biggest fan of this place. The food is good but I don't usually think it's anything special. However we came for brunch this time and it was spectacular! Our waitress Danae was very nice, attentive, and informative. We loved her! The brunch menu is packed with diverse options for everyone to try. I got the strawberry shortcake French toast and my husband got the cinnamon toast one. They are super sweet! But also very tasty, the French toast is nice and fluffy and everything went well together. I also got the breakfast platter and it was some of the best bacon and potatoes I've ever had. Other people at our table got the sticky ribs, mussels, macaroni and grits. Everything was a super delicious and I look forward to coming back for brunch to try something new. read more

This restaurant is ahhhmazing! My husband and I went here this past Saturday (8-30-25) to celebrate our anniversary. I've had this saved in my favs. for some time and decided to go since we were running out of ideas. Glad we went and wish we would've come sooner! It's a very classy looking restaurant, but without the classy attire! I was actually shocked that we were allowed in with what we had on. The ambiance is very chill and welcoming. The hostess seated us in about 3 mins b/c they had to clean a booth. Our waiter, Devin was very nice...even though he only came to check on us once but made up for it in the end. He gave us a complimentary dessert! On to our food. We got the spinach dip for an appetizer, which was DELISH!! I also got the salmon eggrolls appetizer for my entree. When I tell you, those eggrolls were BUSSN, BUSSN!! No sauce needed! They were seasoned to perfection! My husband got the NY strip with chimichurri sauce, and it was also delicious. We devoured everything on our plate and Devin noticed and commented on it. He was slick picking at us, but in a funny way. We both were tickled about his antics! Do yourself a favor and go patronize this restaurant! You mos. def. won't be disappointed! read more

This place was AMAZING! The food was so good I honestly forgot to take pictures of half of it before we ate it! The decor is adorable and the place looked very clean. We had made a reservation ahead of time and our table was ready when we got there. The staff were so sweet. We were celebrating a graduation and they all went out of their way to make us feel welcome. Now the food 10/10. When I tell you I would come back for the Brussel sprouts alone I mean it. My family can be tricky with a few differnt preferences in food but this place has everything. The red meat for the steak enthusiast to the seafood for us who prefer and even good kids meals. They truly had something tasty for everyone. I cannot recommend this place enough. I cannot wait to come back and try more. For drinks we had - Limoncello strawberry martini - Mango mule - Old fashions For food we had - Brussel sprouts - Gouda Grit fritters - Rib appetizers - Fried Calamari - Fried catfish - Herb seared salmon - Snapper escovitche - French Market fish - Scallop and lemon linguine - Braised Short ribs read more

We finally checked out Parkside District, and overall, it was a really good experience! The vibe is super intimate and upscale & the service was solid. I ordered the truffle mushroom pasta and it was so good! We also tried the spinach dip, which was just okay. My husband's salmon egg rolls and the shrimp/crab soup were apparently total hits. The staff is super nice and the joy they show is really great to see. read more

I have frequented Parkside for a few years now and it has been consistently delicious! The service is always friendly but not overly intrusive & the space is open & decorated nice! I've tried so much on the menu that I'll try to rate everything but please go and try everything for yourself. Also, a fun thing to note is I love their drink menu and the illustrations. They used to be large, fill page illustrations but they have made them smaller, but still love the touch of what looks to be hand drawn depictions of the drink. :) See below for all food + drink reviews with a few pictures from my last visit. Appetizers: PEI Mussels 10/10: sauce was very good & buttery, mussels had a great texture Cornbread Skillet 10/10: my absolute favorite appetizer. I love to get both toppings for a sweet & salty combo with the jam and fried jalapeños! Nice textured cornbread that isn't too sweet as many places make it. Bang Bang Salmon Eggrolls 9/10: great texture and filled with salmon, would have liked a bit more sauce or some added peppers in the filling but honestly delicious Crispy Calamari 7/10: the calamari is pretty good, but not stand out. Wish the texture or breading was a bit crispier and the calamari was less chewy Botanical Salad 6/10: everything about this salad screams something I would love but the dressing was a bit light and the lettuce to topping ratio was a bit off for my personal liking Drinks: Passionate Mango 9/10: sweet, refreshing and I love adding a Tajin rim for added kick The Mule 8/10: I've tried them all and they are all good. The flavored ones can run a bit sweet but still solid mules Lychee Mojito 8/10: very light on the alcohol it seems but refreshing nonetheless and love the amount of fresh mint they muddle. The strawberry version is tasty as well, just a bit sweet for me Guava Fresca 8/10: really can't go wrong here, nothing extraordinary but definitely tasty! Entree's: Fra Diavlo Linguine 8/10: loved the texture of the cream sauce and hint of spice from the Calabrian chile, great amount of seafood as well Blackened Chicken Pasta 8/10: sauce was very similar in flavor profile + texture as the linguine minus the seafood essence, solid pasta and reheated very well, noodles slightly overcooked Shrimp Platter 10/10: everything so crispy and fresh every time I've ordered a platter Braised Short Ribs 8/10: simple. Tasty and very much gives an elevated comfort dish vibe with the parsnips & Demi glaze I've tried many more dishes and it seems that they rotate dishes slightly (maybe 1 or 2) and have always been satisfied. All in all, I recommend making the drive and trying Parkside for yourself. Great for lunch dates, working from "home" or a celebration. read more

First time here for an impromptu dinner with a friend. Made reservations which were easy to do. Our waitress, Taylor, was great. I ordered calamari and a passionfruit mango mocktail. I also got the short ribs with mashed potatoes and my dinner date got the salad with chicken. The drink was delicious. It was a good place for a quick meal and good conversation. Overall, it was a really good meal. Grade: B read more

We have been her the for the last two for Valentine's Day. So being our third year we knew what to expect. The mojito was bitter, the fried green tomatoes were overcooked and the French toast online comes in a skillet and was cold and burnt.

Parkside District delivered an excellent dining experience from start to finish. The service was warm and intentional, and the atmosphere struck a great balance between relaxed and elevated, with live music that didn't overpower conversation. We started with the Bang-Bang Salmon Eggrolls and Honey Yuzu Lemon Pepper Wings--both were flavorful and well-executed--and a Strawberry Lychee Rum Mojito that was light and refreshing. My herb pan-seared salmon was outstanding, with beautifully crisp skin and a perfectly cooked interior. My husband's braised boneless short ribs were tender, rich, and incredibly satisfying. Our server, Kevin, was attentive and accommodating, even adding a thoughtful anniversary dessert touch. For quality, portions, and overall experience, Parkside District remains one of the best dining options in Lawrenceville. We'll absolutely be back. read more

Took my mom here for a pre Mother's Day lunch and it was soooo good! Mom had the braised short ribs and she usually hates everything BUT she loved these. They were fall off the bone tender and absolutely delicious. I had the Cajun pasta which was also very good. The salad was so fresh like it was just picked from your garden. I had a couple appetizers but I can't remember what I had but as you can see from the empty dish it had to be good! The dessert trio was a little pricey but totally worth it based on the taste and the portion sizes. Very nice ambiance with nice jazz playing in the background and the service was top tier. I would definitely go back ( should be there for my birthday next week with my girlfriends) and I highly reccommend and you don't have to drive all the way into Atlanta to get a great meal! read more

Parkside District - Red Snapper with shrimp - Seafood Near Me - Lawrenceville, Georgia

Visited with my class this past weekend. We were a party of about 9. Initially the service was really nice as we waited for our party, however one of the hosts appeared to be irritable and a little dismissive when changing the number in the party. Despite this, the rest of the service was amazing. Our server provided recommendations for drinks and food. I ordered the mushroom pasta and added blackened chicken. This dish was GREAT. The pasta was flavorful on its own, but the chicken enhanced the flavor even more. There were several things I'd wanted to try. Now that I know the dishes are of great quality I can't wait to return to try more things. read more

Food was amazing and the service just made it top tier !! I don't usually go out this way but was meeting a friend for a bite to eat. We stopped here and were served by the sweetest person ever, Alaina H. She was very attentive and helped us navigate the menu as I'd never been before. Ended up getting the smoked old fashioned. 10/10. Very hard to find a good old fashioned. Not pictured, the bang bang egg rolls. They were amazing. Then for entree I chose the mushroom truffle pasta and my friend ordered the lamb chops. I did not try the lamb chops but due to his clean plate, I knew they were great. My pasta was one of the best. The ravioli is over stuffed (in the best way possible) and the sauce was excellent. Will definitely be back when i'm in the area again !! Thank you Alaina !! read more

I booked for my 39th birthday a week in advance and made adjustments to the party size and other details as needed. When we arrived, we were immediately seated. We had dinner on a Friday night with live music, so the ambiance was amazing. Drink orders were taken right away, along with appetizers. Our waitress was very kind and knowledgeable. By the time we got to the entrees, we were already full, portion sizes are definitely not skimpy at all! The entrees were amazing; not one of us had a bad thing to say about our experience... from the service to the seating, drinks, and food. We truly enjoyed ourselves! read more

I stopped at Parkside District two weeks ago and the short rib was so good; perfectly cooked, full of flavor. The cheese spinach dip was much better the first time.

Parkside District - Spinach & artichoke - Seafood Near Me - Lawrenceville, Georgia

I've been coming here for yearssss and always order the same things but decided to order different stuff this time & do it as a take out order. What was ordered: -spinach & artichoke fondue : way too much cheese & oils & was not proportioned right with the vegetables. I also did not like that it was served w/ ciabatta bread because the bread had a lot of butter on it & the dish itself already was swimming in oil .. really not good -sweet hotlanta wings : my son enjoyed them but heads up that I guess when you order these to go, they do not toss the wings in the sauce & put it on the side so you'll have to mix it up well to coat the wings yourself -truffle mushroom pasta : nothing about this tasted like truffle & overkill on the mushrooms. Flavor was not terrible , but same like the spinach dip .. swimming in oil & cheese - couldn't even finish it Usually when I dine here it's always inside & the service is pretty good & the dishes , but this time it just didn't cut it for me, sadly! Prices are way too high for mediocre food, in my humble opinion. read more

Went here for brunch and had some of the worst service ever. Server was indignant, slow to respond and seemed like she didn't want to be there. Had to ask for the bill multiple times as she kept forgetting or was distracted. Doesn't belong in this job at all. Took almost as long to get out of there as it did to eat. Won't go back. Funny part is all the other servers were on top of things. We were just unlucky to have had this one. read more

It was our first time here. We had a group of 11 and they told us at the end that they could only do 3 tickets which we had no problem paying and then was advised by the manager it was on their website .

The restaurant looked very nice and had a vibe like no other but the food and service was very lackluster especially for the price for what i was hoping for was a nicer then casual dining experience like longhorn or outback. The menu and prices definitely hinted more to that at least but unfortunately didn't live up to it. i got the shrimp tacos and u are way better off getting it from somewhere like taco mac lol. the shrimp was very obviously frozen and shriveled up and just generally very poor quality for a place trying to seem more upscale then something like a chilies. We also go the ny steak and come to find what we asked for was a medium rare and got a barley pink medium well or medium to give them the benefit of the doubt. we usually dont ask for our steak redone but as this was my girlfriends birthday i was hoping she would enjoy her meal not to mention it being one of the most expensive items on the menu. When we asked the waiter just told us to wait for the manager rather then seeing if she could do anything about it, after seeing the manager she argued "it looks medium to me" as if she thought it was cooked properly and we asked for medium and not medium rare, mind u we confirmed with the waiter while ordering originally medium rare not medium or medium well. What seemed to be the manager reluctantly took it back but the steak would eventually come back to us a 3rd time with someone else, i have no idea who, saying the cooks checked it and says it was "their medium rare". eventually he asked if i would like it rare instead. at this point i knew there really weren't looking to make the steak correct and were just hoping we would take it and shut up. we agreed knowing they would probably bring the steak out blue but were hoping for the best as when he left with the steak he said "you want it rare? i can make it rare" as if he wanted to prove something. The steak ended up coming out more blue then rare. Over all i just felt like having to speak with 3 people over what we felt was a overcooked steak seemed a bit over the top especially when they are asking a premium for it and it was very obviously over done. im not sure if it was because we looked like a younger couple they were trying to convince us otherwise but i dont think it was a very pleasant experience. While the restaurant was nice and the menu tried to convey a more upscale then casual dining experience you are better off saving ur money and going to a more casual place or a real upscale restaurant. rather unfortunate experience. read more
