Blackened Chicken & Broccoli Alfredo
Danielle S.

Good was really good. Drinks were delicious. The boozy slushies were really good! Clean inside and kind servers

Tasty bloody Mary!

So friendly. With fresh and clean eats! Great French fries to boot! The kids loved the French toast.

Braised short rib stroganoff, tots on the side, and Caesar salad. One lone bacon covered date with goat cheese left in right upper corner.

UPDATE: I've had a chance to visit Parkside Restaurant in DTR a couple of times since my initial review and I have found a better experience, especially my most recent time there catching up with an old friend over Sunday brunch. It was pretty easy to grab a table at 11am even though we had no reservation, as the seating area had plenty of options. I did notice that they filled up rather quickly after we were seated and we came at just the right time. We were seated at one of the booths next to the large windows. After grabbing a cuppa and perusing the brunch menu, I went with their Biscuit & Chorizo Gravy selection but asking to substitute scrambled for sunny eggs which they gladly did. I liked my brunch meal, it was great with the different textures and the delicious gravy (very flavorful but not too spicy which is good for me) mingled nicely with the biscuit and the eggs. I was very satisfied once completing this meal and I think I have found my bunch menu selection I'll stick with on future visits. Our server was very pleasant and attentive from start to finish. With all the positives on this most recent visit, I am here to kick them up a star and I am looking forward to more meals here in the future.

Dining area & bar

This restaurant is located downtown so street parking or a parking structure will be required when dining here. There are several tables located inside. During our visit our server was not really attentive. I ordered the burger and fries. I was not a fan of the cheese sauce on the burger, the fries were not good, and the burger was ok. The waffle that my mom was given was burnt on some parts. She said that it did have good flavor and the chicken was seasoned well. Unfortunately based upon this experience I would not want to return.

This is the kind of place where mashed potatoes have gravitational pull and mac 'n' cheese is basically a warm hug in a bowl. It's your neighborhood time machine, serving up grandma-level comfort with a side of sass. These guys serve a serious meatloaf dinner-A thick slice of homemade meatloaf--juicy, savory, and smothered in rich, no-nonsense brown gravy. Served with buttery mashed potatoes that know all your secrets, and green beans so fresh they still think they're in the garden. It's the kind of meal that gives your soul a blanket and tucks it in. Come hungry and leave nostalgic. Cheers!

Deviled Eggs

Great service, delicious drinks and great food with which service! Came on a Friday night and the best atmosphere and food! Will definitely be coming back!

Chicken & Waffle Sandwich with Mac and Cheese
Makaela P.

My friend and I stopped by Parkside during the weekend for a late brunch. I ended up ordering the chicken and waffles, my favorite meal of all time. I will say that it did not disappoint! The chicken was moist and well-seasoned. I also loved that they used Belgian waffles, my favorite kind of waffle. The meal came with an additional side. I decided to go with the mac and cheese, which was a let down. It was okay...but honestly it wasn't needed. I was stuffed just with the chicken and waffles. My friend and I also tried out a few cocktails on their menu. I ordered the Pain Killer - a classic- and my friend got the Watermelon Redbull margarita. Both were pretty tasty although I think mine was ever so slightly better. Service was great! No complaints there. Next time I'm in the Raleigh area, I'll definitely be back!

Mediterranean Salad
Lynda D.

Service was excellent! Food was beautiful and delicious. We had Mediterranean Salad, Breakfast Burrito, Fruit Salad with beautiful fresh fruit (large) shrimp added, prime rib burger (was a little dry don't order it medium well). Tatertot hash have a lots of crunchy onions in them. Server kept our drinks full.

The restaurant was perfect for brunch while vacationing. Reservations are recommended. Paid public parking is available. One of our guests were running 30 minutes late and the restaurant was very accommodating. The server was prompted and answered all questions. The menu is extensive. The seating is not very spacious but the space is inviting. The food was hot, fresh, and prepared accurately. I would recommend!

Dirty martini

First of all - get the prime rib. Parkside is such a great restaurant. I would highly recommend snagging a reservation, since the restaurant is pretty popular and they only have so much space, so it's helpful to have. I've been here for both brunch and dinner and have loved both. They have fantastic spicy bloody marys and their grits are SO GOOD. But that prime rib... I was absolutely blown away. It was served with decadent garlicky mashed potatoes and green beans and seriously, omg it was sooo good. Their poutine, deviled eggs and hummus are also fantastic small plates. Service is also really friendly. This is a great place!

Haddock
Jeff F.

Food here is okay, nothing spectacular. I was a little disappointed because none of their draft beer was working. I ordered the haddock, it was good but I feel like it could have been better. Came with two sides, I got fries and a side Caesar salad. The Caesar salad was really good, fries were just average. The location is great though!

Joel J.

This place is great! We came around the Christmas time, so the place was decorated festively; It was a nice sight to see. Our waiter was kind, friendly, and made sure to check in on us frequently. The food itself was delicious! The pretzel was warm and soft, and the entrees were definitely worth their money. All in all, I had a great experience and hope to be back soon.

Chicken & Waffle Sandwich
Courtnay B.

Family brought me here for Mother's Day and enjoyed this cute corner diner. The service was not great - our coffee was not refilled until after we received our food. Food was all good. Started with Deviled Eggs, followed by Bananas Foster French Toast, 5 stars but wish it had a few more bananas. Breakfast Plate was your average variety of eggs, bacon, sausage (best of the bunch), grits and toast. Chicken waffle sandwich - waffle was the best part. The Pork chop waffle was the star of the show - 5 stars! Definitely recommend this place Fri brunch.

I stopped in just a they were opening on a Friday and thank goodness I showed up when I did, this place gets packed quick and you should book a reservation to be on the safe side. I was most excited about the duck egg rolls but ended up being my least favorite not because they were slightly on the dry side. Flavor was good, and the hoisin honey sauce really helped! The seafood dumplings were second best, stuffed full. The soup based was amazing and it also came with some bread for dipping in the leftover sauce. The pork and chive shumai were my favorite! A little bit bigger than bit sized but worth the mouth full! Absolutely would recommend. I'll 100% be back for more food. The bar side looked to be more casual, the dinning room was full of high tea attire so I did feel a little under dressed, thought it would be slightly more casual. They have the cutest library with free books to read but only while you dine in. The flower and book shop are in the middle of the space. Super cute, limited options but great for a last minute bouquet!

I'm not a huge beer drinker but was still impressed at the plethora of options (International beer on the 2nd floor, Domestic Beer on the first floor, and a separate liquor bar on the first floor as well). So if you are looking for a LOT OF BEER OPTIONS, this is a good place to start/try. I tried a flight of ciders because that's as close to beer as I would typically get (I've attempted to try so many with beer fest but I just can't get into it) and I couldn't choose what I wanted so I had the wonderful bartender select them for me. She provided amazing, friendly service because as indecisive as I can be, she was very patient. For a meal, I order the Jalapeño burger and it was delicious. The jalapeño is basically the sauce that gives the kick you're looking for, not actual jalapeños, and it comes with plenty of fries. Again, I left not a single crumb lol This place is really cool inside and looks like something out of a fairytale with the trees growing through the restaurant. I love plants and nature so for me it was everything. I'd love to see it at night and check out how it's lit up, certain it looks beautiful!

They have a very extensive inventory of bourbons including all the high-end ones you would want. The bartenders making amazing recipes including my partners favorite, Tom Yum, taste just like the soup. I can often enjoy a whiskey sour with no issue and use the menu to try something different. They don't serve food, so it's a good place to come after dinner. The ambiance is simple, a wooden bar and now that they have expanded, they have some tables as well.

For those that follow me on Yelp for brewery reviews, cocktail bar reviews are few and far between. So if I make a point of making a visit, it really is special. Great selection of product (I guess) but what I appreciate is the care and attention each glass is prepared by the bar keep. They are very friendly and knowledgeable - which is good for me, b/c I ask a lot of questions! Service is careful, but does crawl if the house is full, it really is tiny inside - did you know there was a back door, patio area? I particularly like the absence of having to yell at my table mates - it makes this barbour more sophisticated in this respect.Everything, right down to the outside marquee is subtle - and we like leaving the madding crowd far away...
