I generally do not like eating red meat, though I will occasionally enjoy a hamburger. We also go to Parkside Grill because my husband loves their Sunday Pot Roast. In the past, I have ordered their pimento cheeseburger. I've also tried several chicken dishes, but every once in a while I want a hamburger. Over the couple of years we've been going to Parkside Grill, I've ordered the pimento cheeseburger three times, including today. Only one of those times did I not send it back. I prefer my red meat cooked completely well done no red at all. Not medium well, but fully well done. This is an almost $18 dish. The second time I ordered it, I sent it back and requested a new burger because I do not like knowing that the same burger was simply sent back to be cooked longer with all the pimento cheese and toppings already on it. Today, I reluctantly ordered it again because I was really craving a burger. I made it very clear to our waiter, Michael, that the cooks could "hockey puck" it as long as there was absolutely no red. Unfortunately, once again it came out medium well. My husband and I informed the waiter, and he offered to send it back to be fixed. He also apologized. He also said it it busy and there have been a few things that have gone wrong already. However, the last time that happened, my husband had already finished his meal by the time my food returned. At that point, I asked for a box so I could take it home and cook it myself. I ended up only eating the fries and bacon. That was my $18 meal. I boxed up the burger, left it on the table untouched, and thought to myself that I will not be returning again. read more

We went here for a belated Valentine's Day dinner. We got the spinach and artichoke dip for an appetizer, crème brule for dessert and I got fish and chips without the fries sub with cheddar mashed potatoes and green beans. I loved the side dishes with the meal but wasn't too impressed with the fish portion. It was a crumbly fish stick? I'm used to battered ones so I'll always compare to that and these just didn't do it justice. BUT, the crème brule was delicious-very soft under the top layer(which was yummy) and I liked the addition of strawberry on top The waitress was exceptional with being attentive and I give this a 3 just because I'm disappointed with the fish n chips because those hold high standards for me. read more

On a trip to TN to see a friend sing. The hotel concierge recommended Parkside Grill for dinner. Place is super cute and has a nice patio. I'm not sure if there is seating inside other than the bar area. Tori was our server and she was incredibly awesome. Kind, great smile and very honest about me I suggestions! So we started with the spicy shrimp. Wow!! Light breading and the sauce was amazing. The hubs had fish and chips. Light fluffy melt in your mouth fish!! I had the Firesticks. WOW. Full of flavor!! Delish! We enjoyed our time. I cannot say enough about Tori. Ask for her when you go!!!!! read more

Parkside was a great little stop to grab a few cocktails. This was a very short stop, where we shared the Ahi Tuna Wonton stack and some drinks. Parkside Grill must be a sister restruarant with Lakeside Tavern, as their menu is incredibly similar! Great food and drink either way! read more

Happened to end up at Parkside grill for dinner. The grilled salmon and pimento burger were PERFECTION. The salad was spot on We were either hungry or the food was great. Probably some of both. The service was awesome will definitely be back read more

Just to start, I rarely give a 5 star review unless it is a fine dining restaurant and they checked every box. From the time I walked in to the time I left the service was outstanding here. I couldn't decide between a few dishes and my server recommended the spicy shrimp and chicken pasta. After I ordered she recommended the bread and I agreed. Wow, this bread is delicious. The middle is an airy pillow and they give you a delicious whipped butter.... it was heavenly. The bread has a nice crust but not too much to be hard, just enough to be chewy and delicious. This bread will forever be on my list to compare other bread service to. The pasta arrived quickly and I think I may have actually moaned at how delicious the sauce on this pasta was. Everything in this dish was perfectly balanced, cooked perfectly with just the right amount of spice. My only negative is I'm visiting in Knoxville on business and can't make this a regular stop! read more

Solid southern cuisine restaurant in Knoxville. Its been here for years. They make an outstanding bread. The staff greeted and led us directly to a table, where we looked over the menu and reviewed many upscaled southern dishes. plenty of options and several are standouts on Yelp. I had the meatloaf stack. The savory gravy is a nice upgrade for this comfort food. I believe they added pecans to the butter for the baked sweet potato side. Ample serving size had many taking part of the their meal togo. The decor and seating are dated to the Boomer generation but that doesn't keep you from enjoying a nice meal. read more

BRAVO!!!!!!! read more

I've eaten here in the past and am happy to say it's still an excellent place to eat. I have a food allergy and they were glad to modify my meal to accommodate me. The waitress was very knowledgeable on how the food was prepared, which helped greatly. And of course the food was delicious! (I had the pasta with steak dish.) when coming to Knoxville I enjoy this place because, not only does the food take me straight to 'Flavortown', but the service is excellent, and the atmosphere is relaxed and warm. read more

When we first entered we noticed how nice it looked. The fireplace was awesome (can't wait to go when it's cold out) & was greeted quickly. The ambiance of the restaurant gave off a nice place for family and friends to meet up. Even a good place for a date night. When I walk into a restaurant I look at what people have ordered to see what I might like. I noticed everything looked tasty. Our server was Adam, he was Amazing! Friendly & outgoing. We told him that it was our first time here & what would he recommend. He stated everything was good here , after a quick review of what I was considering he recommended Cilantro Chicken. I'm so happy I went with his recommendation. It was delicious. My mom had the soup of the day, Baked Potato and a house salad. The soup was delicious she said. I tasted after we ate and it was, even cold. I would definitely encourage you to try Parkside Grill. read more

Didn't feel like going far on my last night so stopped by the Parkside Grill as it was walking distance from my hotel. At 6 PM on a Wednesday night, it was completely packed with no seats at the bar. Had a large booth all to myself and while I came to eat a salad, I couldn't resist the meatloaf stack with two sides. I chose the cheddar mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli. I also enjoyed the nice side of complimentary bread with a very large glass of pinot grigio. The food came out incredibly fast where I couldn't fill up on the bread and fluffy butter. It was a very large dish (which I guess is typical for the South!) and everything tasted really great. The meatloaf had this lovely gravy and fried onion strings. The mashed potatoes were excellent and the broccoli was a bit over cooked for my taste, but still really good. My server was very attentive and checked in to see how I was doing a couple of times. The prices here are incredibly reasonable as well. read more

Food is AWESOME!!! Chicken pot pie is loaded with chicken and veggies with plenty of creamy yummy sauce. The black and white salad is scrumptious and somehow the onion rings are made to perfection. The service has always been exceptional and the place is decorated beautifully. Old cherry wood beams, stone walls and tinted glass windows. Nothing better! My wife and I try to visit at least once a week. If I could give more stars, I would read more

To start, the environment inside the restaurant is excellent. We were seated immediately and it wasn't loud or overwhelming like some restaurants can be on a Saturday night. When our waitress came to see us, we were pretty quickly ready with our entire order. The food was absolutely delicious but also seemed like they were attempting to maximize profit by finding the balance between how much people will pay for how little they will get. The cheddar mashed potatoes sound amazing but disappointed heavily. The fish was amazing. It's swai btw. The appetizer of potato skins is only 4. Our waitress was very kind and attentive and overall we really enjoyed our dinner. read more

Stopped in for a quick dinner. We got the spinach artichoke dip and the teriyaki filet kabobs. The food was very good. Service was very slow (to include it taking forever for our drinks from the bar), but they may have been understaffed. Our server was very friendly. Would definitely try it again. read more

Visited again today with a friend who was out of town. Everyone still loves the bread and all the food. I always get salmon here and my husband and his friend both got the steak on a stick. Our girls got the pasta with cheese sauce and liked it a lot. The service and ambiance is always good. I am glad it's close to home! We will be back. read more

I'd like to give Parkside a shoutout for being able to accommodate 7 people on a Friday night for dinner with no sort of reservation. I wouldn't recommend doing that, as it was quite busy when I came by, but shoutout them for that. I ordered the teriyaki skewers, which were good! I picked green beans and broccoli as a side, which were fortunately not bland like I am often accustomed to when ordering veggies. They have quite a few selections for drinks too, so don't forget about that. My only gripe with Parkside would be the price - it was quite expensive and is definitely not a spot that most people can frequent. read more

We had not been here in some time. I found the food to be pretty good, although nothing inspiring or especially different. Server brought out a cold baked potato to one in our party, gave me the wrong veggie (but I tasted the green beans and they were so good, I didn't say anything and enjoyed them), and then mixed up our orders on the two tabs (two couples). No big issue but it factors in to overall rating, of course. There are many restaurants in this same category but I think they are very solid and would never hesitate to go here for a good meal at fairly decent prices. read more

Bailey was our server, she was very personable and also was open to chatting. The ambience was nice with the lighting and the booths were very clean and everything was classy and clean. And yes there was a 10-15 minute wait but the food was very VERY worth it. read more

We had a great dinner here last friday. No reservation. Table of seven. Seated immediately. Everyone enjoyed their food. I had the grilled chicken sandwich with no mayo which was good and didn't feel too unhealthy. Which made me feel ok about pairing it with the delicious onion rings. They only give you four onion rings and charge an extra $2 for them. But they are big and totally worth it. All seven of us weee happy with our meals. The service was also great. read more

Always a good selection for lunch or dinner. The burger and fries are always a good choice as is the meatloaf dinner. Give it a try!

Excellent French onion soup. Sunday special pot roast is wonderful. Excellent bread basket with wonderful bread and butter .

It's been a couple years since I've been here on business, but I knew exactly where I wanted to eat dinner and it did not disappoint! My server Michael couldn't have been sweeter service was fast. The Arnold Palmer iced tea was delicious and the bread is unforgettable. I was struggling with what to choose off the menu and when I told him I really would like a steak, but the smallest one was a 10 ounce he said not a problem, we have a 5 ounce sirloin we can make for you. Let me tell you that steak was cooked perfect and the char on the outside was delicious. The steamed broccoli with a hint of garlic, and the green beans with the seasoning were perfect compliments to my healthy choice. After dinner, I thought I might take a dessert back to the hotel with me and once again, Michael recommended a couple options, but he said the strawberry cake is one of the most requested and he himself likes it the best. Again a perfect option. I had some work to do and the booth I was seated out was perfectly situated for me to have my iPad open and catch up on all the administrative work that I needed to do after a long day. The food was all prepared and tasted wonderful. The service couldn't have been better and the ambience and atmosphere is clean and comfortable. If you are in Knoxville, you want to do yourself a favor and stop in to Parkside Grill. I look forward to my next trip here. read more

You can't go wrong when dining here. The service, atmosphere and food are always outstanding. Today was no exception. We wanted a tummy warming meal because it was cold and drizzly outside. We were greeted by a warming fire and equally warm and friendly host. We were seated shortly after arrival. Our server, Amy, was cheerful and attentive. I ordered the Blackened Sirloin Steak with sautéed sun-dried tomatoes, mushrooms and green onions tossed with bowtie pasta in a spicy sherry cream sauce and Parmesan cheese. It was phenomenal. The pepper encrusted steak and paprika gave it a nice spicy kick and the sherry cream sauce was heavenly.

Parkside Grill - Blackened Sirloin Steak pasta - American Near Me - Knoxville, Tennessee

We ordered 3 sirloin dinners, cream of mushroom soup, and the salmon avocado salad The soup was OUTSTANDING, probably the best cream of mushroom I've had. Somehow it was creamy yet had a lightness to it that didn't weigh you down. My salad was also fantastic and I would 100% order again. It was an interesting combo that I never would have thought of (salmon, avo, get, mushrooms, jalapeños) but it really worked well! The sirloins were also good, the fam doesn't like the "char" in charbroiled so the outside was a little charred for them but I'd bet you could order it lightly charred or something. They also brought a hunk of soft and warm breast that was delish. Service was fast, friendly, and the restaurant was clean. read more

Get ready for a "Food Tax" to be added to your bill. I was shocked to find that an extra charge was added to my overall bill outside the sales tax, food cost, and tip from a to-go order. I even asked the hostess what this charge represented and her response was simply I don't know. It's saddening to see places find ways to scam and tax their customer. I definitely will not return read more
