The atmosphere is quirky and fun. Family friendly but also great little bar area with decent taps and plenty to look at or keep you busy. Service was great and we even enjoyed some dad jokes from our server. We used one of those jokes to get a free pour on Father's Day when we rolled back into town at our local brewery so thanks for that far out joke . We started with the Debris fries and boy were they tasty. Big plate so plenty to share and then not want fries with your burger. I had the Boy Blue Burger which was amazing and perfect fly cooked and my husband had the Island Hopper which had a pineapple and this delicious sauce. We really enjoyed this local spot read more

Big salads and really good onion rings:) Service was slow. Waiter was funny and spread a little thin for lunch hour perhaps. Ambiance was making me nostalgic of my early 80s childhood. Really fun place with a punk edge. The logo needs a revamp cause it's giving safe and a little too corporate compared to the interior styling, crazy movies, and punk/new wave music choices. I also get that burgers get the families inside so have fun at this place :) I'm sure the burgers are awesome. They looked great. read more

Parkside Public - Greek salads. One with turkey. And a side of onion rings. - Burgers Near Me - Rogers, Arkansas

I've enjoyed the Parkside Public restaurant on several occasions over the last 3+ years. I love the draft beer choices, the great inventive burger compilations, the homemade chips, and have even enjoyed the turkey burger and a salad on an occasion. Cool old building. My 3 star rating stems from my last visit, where the burger patty seemed a little too small and perfectly formed - just didn't have that fresh patted out loose beef feel. I've also had a single horrendous service experience - an early afternoon late lunch with 5 girls, who arrived in 3 waves. It probably took him 15 minutes to actually get everyone a single beverage, and we had to ask him to please take our food order before he wandered away again. Food was good but our server never checked back in - no beverage refills, no pick up of used plates. As we were going to sit and enjoy a few birthday gifts after lunch, I actually bussed our table and carried the dirties up to the bar. Places where I bus my own table definitely don't rate so well! It's also made me hesitant to pop into there before theater or appointments, because I don't know how slow the service will be. I'm sure I'll be back on occasion, but with Big Orange down the road, they may have to spiff up their burger patties a bit to keep in the hunt. And an better eye on service would benefit as well. read more

Wanted to try something new and this place was phenomenal! Usually if me and my husband go out to eat it costs a small fortune nowadays but this place was very well priced with very good food. Our server was super helpful and I can't wait to come here again! read more

very unfortunat; the customer service here is nonexisten!! food is very tasty, hence the dilemma. we live close by so we have been here more times than I can count....will nevwr come back again! they make you feel like you are bothering them when you go into the restauran! no smiles, no greeting, some food comes out hot and some comes out cold, maybe you get a drink you ordered and maybe you get a surprise! Downtown Rogers has an amazing selection of restaurant, shouldn't waste your time here! read more

Food was okay, the atmosphere was nice but the chicken tenders were not good, which is shocking as they are chicken tenders.

The Burgers are so tasty!! The service is always fast and they have very friendly staff. Cool place to drink beer with friends and enjoy amazing food. read more

Trio appetizer was good! Meatloaf sandwich was NOT meatloaf it was a hamburger patty, tots overdone and cold. Basic cheeseburger overcooked and dry. We gave it a a try, unfortunately was not impressed and not a place we'll try again when in town. read more

I will definitely be back! Not sure why I haven't been here before? It is in the downtown Rogers area. Prices are a little high (around $10 for burger and chips). Great place for lunch but I think it would be an even better place for dinner and drinks. They have a nice bar area and booths as well. Love the vibe in this place. Everyone was smiling the whole time and seemed to be having fun. Great COVID precautions. The entire place seemed to be very clean. I will be returning again for dinner and drinks read more

Where do I start. Not only was the temperature pushing 80. It took over 30 minutes after we ordered to be told that part of our orders were not available. We had to take our food to go as a result of everything else. My family has always came here, but something changed and was a TERRIBLE TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE.... read more

So This was my second visit. Cute little downtown vibe. With interesting wall decor. I tried the Arkie 2 which is a chili burger covered with chili and melted cheese. Critic to the chili there was too many beans and not enough chili to make the burger sloppy. I usually prepare to eat a chili burger with a fork. I asked for extra onion which I assumed would be chopped. What I got instead was an extra red onion ring. (Which they charged me .50 for). Not the best chili burger and I would probably never order again. I would perhaps try something different on the menu. The fries were fabulous and next time I think I will try the gravy fries. read more

Parkside Public - Arkie 2 - Burgers Near Me - Rogers, Arkansas

The food tastes great! The server Chewy was polite and did a fine job. The Green Chili Burger is yummy. The Mr. Willis is delicious. I appreciate this local spot. The music is too loud. It vibrates the booth. We will come back regardless. read more

Great place to grab a burger or salad! Their portions are huge so make sure to share with others. The trio is a must if you love fried pickles, beans and onions. I got the bacon salad. Unfortunately the sauce was too salty but my colleagues got the arugula and Cesar salad and they really enjoyed them! read more

Food 4 stars Service 2 stars There is nothing more frustrating than an establishment with really good food, a cool vibe, but has staff members that take patrons for granted. My family decided to come to Parkside at 1pm on a Saturday to celebrate my wife's birthday. We had to wait to be greeted, however we were give a table quickly. Our waitress took our order quickly and with a smile. However, that is when the experience went sideways. We waited and waited for lunch to be delivered for more than a half an hour. Finally, we asked our waitress what was wrong (we had another engagement to attend and one of our members needed to get home). She explained it was a shift change and the tickets were piled up in kitchen. That is understandable. However, no apology about our experience. At last (50 minutes), our food was delivered by a staff member and practically thrown on our table compete with a frown and an attitude. My FIL stated, "it sure took a long time". He sarcastically responded, "Everyone is getting their food late!" and stormed off. Again.. no apology complete with a F you attitude. Our waitress did come over to ask how was the food. It was fine despite being very cold. Again a list of excuses for the slow service. Never once during our hour and half lunch were dishes or glasses ever removed from our table either. We brought up the attitude of the employee and she said we will make things correct. They did take some items off the bill and we do appreciate the gesture. However, never an apology for making my wife's birthday lunch a stressful event. It's unfortunate because we have had great meals at Parkside. I originally chalked it up to a bad day. However, after reading reviews about this restaurant I noticed this is a common problem during shift changes. We will give them one chance... however, if we experience the same issues... there are plenty of other choices in downtown Rogers. read more

Zero stars. Came in on a Saturday morning, three of us. Two are hard of hearing. There was one other couple in the place, about the same age as my party. Music was AC/DC blasting so loud we couldn't talk. Asked the server if he could have it turned down just a touch...oh, no way, the manager will just turn it back up. Asked anyway, he did turn it down and the manager turned it right back up. We left. Went just down the street to the 1830 House, had an incredibly tasty meal served by people who wanted us there. Dropped $150 on lunch. You could have had that money Parkside if you didn't hate your customers so much. Shame on you. read more

This is the best place to come eat a bacon cheeseburger and to have a cold beer Parkside public has the best beers on tap around. I like how they sopport the local breweries from the area. The best bacon cheeseburger can be found from here. Plus the inside is pretty kool as well. Great service each and everytime. read more

We were so excited to try this place in hopes of finding a great burger without driving to Hugo's in Fayetteville. Unfortunately, we didn't feel it lived up to the hype. Burgers were pretty basic, as were the fries. Service was great though we waited more than 30 minutes to receive our order! The beer selection is nice - wine selection, not so much unless you're a fan of Bota Box wine. The '80s theme was fun and my nephews and niece enjoyed watching the old school on the TVs. We will return - but it won't be on our short list. read more

Love the fried pickle spears and fried green beans. They've got great burgers and local beer. The dining area can be loud but it's a fun atmosphere. Highly recommend! read more

I eat here often. Never had a bad meal not bad service. I was there yesterday when Grace D left her review. They were not playing AC/DC. Yes the music is often loud, it's part of their "schtick" What Grace left out is when she announced her departure from the restaurant she said very loudly "f@ck you" towards the manager, in front of multiple young children. She came into the restaurant with an attitude and said before she left "I don't know why we come here often". Well it's probably the great food and service. read more

Awesome food and service...was at lunch time..people coming in and out..service was quick and friendly..food was incredible!..a definite comeback for lunch..also wound be a fun bar for a night out.. read more

How have I not been here before now? First time patrons Was greeted right away at the front door by the host. He ushered us to a great spacious booth but the bar drew our eye. Not many TVs so it's definitely not a sports bar. They have a good collection of craft beer (local, regional and national brands). Menu looks great and diverse. Speciality is burgers and "dirty fries". The menu offered a few salads that all looked great as well. BUT I found this place because I searched for wings so that's what I ordered. I got a half dozen with the Louisiana sauce, which is just buffalo sauce made with Louisiana hot sauce. The wings came out crispy which provided a great texture. Flavor was great; not too much heat but just enough. Blue cheese dressing was just a little runny but very good as well. I'm glad I came here and got them. Girlfriend had a cheese burger. It was fantastic. Patty was thick and tasted fresh. Tots were crispy and perfectly salted. Service was on point. The host became our bartender/server as the entire dining room staff seemed to flow into all the positions as needed. Very cool to see a service team work well like that. Dinning room seats about 60 so space is limited. T was the hottest day of the year and I noticed several box fans around the dining room and got the impression that the a/c in this old building was working as hard as it could. The box fans were perfectly placed and kept us cool with only a slight noticeable breeze. It was nice and not at all warm. Restrooms were very clean and well lit. Both have changing stations for young children. Everything is very reasonably priced. Wings, burger, 2 beers each, $30. I'll definitely be back. #rogersrocks read more

Great burgers. Great service. Our group of 8 loved the truffle and sweet potato fries. They have gluten free buns and are Celiac friendly. Will definitely eat here again! read more

First time here and I have to say the atmosphere is wonderful!! Love the retro vibe, music and movies on the TV that fit the theme of the bar/ restaurant. Lots of interesting things on the menu makes you want to come back to try them all. I had a Cobb salad and added chicken. This salad was PACKED with meat and it was large enough to take home half. My husband had some kind of loaded hotdog and ordered the garlic and cheese fries we were a bit disappointed that the cheese on the fries was hard by the time the food got to the table. We were also disappointed that we had to pay for ranch??? That we used with our onion rings. Are you kidding me? Wth? Our bill was over $50 you could not spare ranch? Why nickel and dime your customers? read more

Parkside Public - This place has such a great atmosphere. - Burgers Near Me - Rogers, Arkansas

Terrible burger. Over cooked dry and no flavor. But, the ice was cold. Service was good. Hamburger was so over cooked it could have been used for a hockey puck. Yuck! read more

Not worth the gas to get there.... Service was slow, portions were small and even though the food took long time, it still showed up incorrect... read more

From the onset the building looks clean, well-renovated and welcoming. The servers were polite and accommodating not pretentious at all. We are from out of town, arrived on a Sunday evening to find many businesses closed. Parkside hit the spot. We had a burger with bacon and peanut butter and ordered it with a side of bbq sauce and the Ozark IPA... it was delicious. We ordered an arugula salad and tater tots. The salad was fresh and fantastic (I love arugula). It should be known that the salad was LARGE. The tater tots were well seasoned with a crispy outside and fluffy center. Two lows: one, a description of the joint said it was a place where they are "spinning records" and we saw lots of vinyl, but none playing. And secondly, the music was great, but too loud. Neither is a dealbreaker. Overall experience was great. read more

The food was fine but the waiter "forgot to take our order." He also didn't bring waters when we asked the first time. We were stirring for an hour and we STILL did not have our burgers. When he realized he forgot our order he said "oh sorry we'll rush it and it will be out in 15 minutes." We waited another 30 minutes and NOTHING. He gave us a free pitcher of PBR but that wasn't NEARLY enough for how long the wait was. We also waited 30 minutes for our table. So the experience was overall horrible. read more

The food was great and delicious. Service was slower to get food, but was worth the wait. It was very stylish and trendy inside. Great place to grab a bite to eat. They had a very good selection of beer and other alcoholic drinks. read more

Talk about vintage! We sat at the bar and looked at the old album covers, listened to old Rock and Roll, and had loaded fries! I had the mushroom burger - biggest piece of hamburger I've ever had on a bun! Relaxed, very eclectic and we even got stories about the underground caves! read more

The service was extremely slow. We waited a long time for everything - drink orders, refills and food. The pricing seemed out of range for just getting a burger/sandwich, only. You no longer get chips (or substitute of fries). If you want fries you have to pay extra for a basket. When our food did come out most of it was cold and we sent some back. When we sent the food back, our server never returned. We had to go wait at the hostess stand to get any attention and ask for our check and tell them what's going on. The ladies at the bar weren't doing anything except chatting with the patrons at the bar. Disappointing to see such a drastic change from the last time we were at Parkside. read more

This is our favorite burger place. I have tried and enjoyed most everything on the menu but my favorite is the Parkside public burger. There is nothing like it in NWA. read more

Ate there with a group this week, none of us where impressed. Had the blue cheese burger. Bun fell apart immediately when I picked it up, bacon was tough like jerky, patty was well over cooked and very dry. Totally disappointed as we were hosting guest from out of town that wanted a down town Rogers experience. Service was good, onion rings were tasty. I used to go here once in a while but won't be returning anytime soon as there are much better choices when it comes to burgers. Quality has gone down severely. read more

We love to support DTR and had not eaten at Parkside Public in awhile. Decided to eat there tonight and what a mistake. We sat at the bar, waited an hour with no one recognizing we had not received our food yet. Asked the bartender/manager about our food. Said let me check, came back and said the kitchen doesn't have our ticket. Did not apologize, didn't say I'm going to put on a rush on it, just was very nonchalant. Absolutely no customer service. Very disappointed. read more

Cool atmosphere, turkey burger delicious. F26 overdone and dry. Excellent tots! Great beer selection

Do yourself a favor, meatloaf sandwich and poutine as a side, life is good! Parkside public is the spot before a railyard show or any downtown rogers activity. Great food, people, beers and vibe! read more

Though the food was good , the attitude of the guy that seated us and brought our food was SO disappointing... ruined our entire experience! We came in, and this rude guy led us to a table and threw menus on the table and walked off without a word...same rude guy threw our food down on the table without a word. The restaurant was out of Romain lettuce, so no Caesar salad available. WOW read more

Order their eponymous burger. So tasty! It was a Friday afternoon, and I'm new in town. I quickly grew tired of the fast food scene. Don't get me wrong, a drive thru comes in handy when time is tight. But today, I had an hour for lunch. I phoned in my order and it was ready in 15 minutes. I was greeted at the host stand, I told them I called ahead, and he asked me to sit at the bar. The chair wasn't even warm when the check, and my order arrived. As I drove back to the office, my mouth started watering as the smell of fries and burger permeated the Town Car. When I settled in and took a bite of that burger, I was pleasantly surprised. That burger had a lot going on. The peppadew pepper and cream cheese, paired with the tasty burger and bun were a match conceived in culinary heaven. Oh yes, I will be back. And it will be after work. And I will dine in. And I will have a beer to wash it all down. And I will be happy. read more

Parkside Public - My to go order...Parkside Public Burger n' Fries. Really, really good! - Burgers Near Me - Rogers, Arkansas

I saw the option to get a burger with peanut butter, bacon, an egg, and a few more seemingly random toppings and knew I needed it. Once I took the first strangely delicious I bites I knew I'd made the right call. The F26 was a true winner. The server was a bit rude but the food made up for it. Great appetizers as well (fried green beans & dirty fries) read more

We waited to be seated at booth. They told me they would call me but never got my number from me. I didn't think nothing of it.. until they were taking people who walked in in front of me at a booth. They offered bar to seat, but with a bad back I had to say no thank you, won't be back with disorganization and it felt we weren't welcome to be there. read more

Went there last night for a relatives birthday because he loves their wings. The lady that seated us acted like it was a problem that she had to wipe down a table for us to make a place to sit. The waiter came over and took our drink order and we got our drinks and a couple of appetizers pretty quickly. He then took our full order for 6 people. Then our waiter told us his shift was over and he would be handing our service off to the same woman that seated us. Over an hour later, we asked about our food, but the order was never put in with the kitchen. Similar to other reviews where this happened, there was no apology just a lot of excuses. And finger pointing to say what happened, but they never acknowledged it was a problem. Very disappointing. The food is good. Not great, but good. The wings are generally very crispy, which is one of the main draws of the place. But the service this particular night was absolutely horrible. There is no excuse for completely forgetting to put in an order for a table at all. read more
