Falan E.

The service is great. The staff here are warm and welcoming. I'm going to assume all the seafood here is farm raised since there wasn't any details on the menu and the server couldn't say yes or no. He said, it's whatever is available local, whatever that means. I really enjoyed the pineapple press martini. I also enjoyed the Mediterranean bowl, although it was in a plate, I added shrimp and that was a nice addition. Overall, great experience and food. I look forward to returning in the future.

Bone Bone-In Pork Chop, mashed potatoes and grilled green beans.  DELICIOUS!
Lisa R.

My friends who live in the area had taken me earlier in the week here and the grilled chicken sandwich with tasty, hot crunchy tater tots. I had seen the pork chop on the menu then and decided to return. The hostess seated me quickly at a window seat and I saw a beautiful sunset. My server was gracious, telling me why there was a delay, Uber Eats orders had come in. Soon after that my food arrived. The pork chop was cooked perfectly, moist and well seasoned. The green beans were a little crunchy at the spot between well done and underdone, perfect. The mash potatoes could have been thicker, and tasted good. Lots of families on the green outside the restaurant this Saturday, so seating inside wasn't a problem. I'll be back when I visit again.

Jalapeño and Bacon Deviled Eggs

I visited the Parkside Restaurant in Wendell with my wife and another couple on a recent Friday night. Our friends got there before us and were already seated. We walked in and were greeted warmly and directed to our seated friends. We ordered drinks which consisted of Michelin Ultras and an Apple Cider Margarita and Strawberry Jalapeño Margarita. The Margaritas were delicious and so were the apps! Our entrees consisted of a French Dip, a burger, a salad, and a top sirloin steak. The steak was cooked to order; a beautiful medium rare. My wife is dairy and egg intolerant and her salad came out with hard boiled eggs. They promptly took the salad back and quickly came back with her replacement salad, which was perfect. All in all, our experience at Parkside was very positive. The food was excellent and the service was very good. They handled the one issue like true professionals. Our expectations were definitely exceeded. Great job!

Most of the ladies had good food reviews. Our waitress had her hands full.There were over 20 ladies. My food was slow coming out and didn't have the chutney. The location and atmosphere was bright and open. Look forward to going back.

Came here after church one day since we normally go to the location in Raleigh. It was a great experience we were quickly sat and ordered. The food came out relatively quick and was good! Would definitely come back.

I was passing through and decided to check this location of Parkside out. Ordered the steak salad, and it was so good! For the amount of food I thought the price was decent. The restaurant is super clean. The only slightly negative is the service here could definitely be improved. They aren't very attentive.

I was looking forward to my brunch at Parkside in Wendell as the Raleigh location is great. The building is new and parking is easier at Wendell Falls than Raleigh. I was tempted to go with the short rib benedict again but thought I should try something new and went with the prime rib scramble bowl as I liked the combination of eggs; prime rib; tater tots; and cheddar cheese. I did request no onions but this dish had onions. Maybe it couldn't be done without but I could have been informed. My first bite was of luke warm mushrooms. It seemed that part of the dish was hot but the rest wasn't. I'm not sure if it sat out too long before being delivered or if it just wasn't cooked long enough. The others I was with didn't finish their meals either. The restaurant was pretty empty while we were there so I am not sure if others already decided that this restaurant is lacking. I do not see myself making a return trip here.

Brand new. Come try. Really great bar. Great menu. Lots of TVs. Getting the nachos today. . Great staff

I don't know the ratings are not that good here. The food was great, the staff service was prompt, and ambiance is very comfortable looking. The only issue that I had was the price of food. Most of the food including appetizers were over $10. I would've come here to have some beer and appetizers if it was a bit more affordable

First time trying this location. Our server Haley was very friendly. Ordered a cheeseburger, it was very good quality. It is big. Nice clean facility.

Prime Rib Scramble Bowl

We came here for brunch. Nice ambiance. Service was short sweet and simple. Food was delicious. They were out of the Jalapeno & Bacon devil eggs.

We were sat in the back of the restaurant and felt tucked away, but this didn't hinder service in the slightest. Our waiter was attentive, friendly, and very helpful. He knew the menu and had a confident answer to every question. Before being sat at our table, we grabbed a drink at the bar and asked the bartender about the menu. There was a woman who took special time to explain what the menu items were and how they differed from your usual "chicken or beef etc". Which was not only informative, but interesting too. Onto the star of the show, the meal. We ordered the bison & farro and the poulet rouge carbonara. Both of these dishes were phenomenal. I've never had a culinary experience even close to this one. These are meals you think about for the rest of your life. The textures and flavors together resulted in an exquisite explosion of harmony. The kitchen staff put their heart and soul into these dishes and it is obvious! I cannot wait for my next visit.

So, didn't start out well. New to the area, I didn't realize you had to enter via patio. Would…read morehave parked accordingly with my foot issue. Anyway, Was shown to my table, a male server showed up, lit the candle, and I didn't see anyone for 18 minutes while two tables around me were greeted, cleared the table of extra dishes not needed and was served water, and their plates for the dinner buffet. The server that lit the candle, came back, asked if my server showed up. Uh, no. Finally, a woman server came by, went to the other table. Can't make this up. Then she realized they were being taken care of. She finally made it to me. I informed her I was dining alone, she cleared extra dishes, asked if I needed salt or pepper. Interesting question considering I didn't have any food. She filled my water glass, then brought my plate, as it was a dinner buffet night. Their first dinner buffet. No excuse for the poor service, though. Make me feel important, valued whether dining alone or with a group, please. The buffet had a great variety of proteins and sides. A couple of beef strip choices, shredded chicken, crisp tortillas to build your own nachos for the kids, fried catfish, fried chicken patty, salmon, swordfish, all cut into small portions. Proteins were the perfect size to try everything without filling up. A carving station consisted of sirloin, pork loin, sausage and baked salmon. The seasoning on every protein at the buffet and carving station was different. Excellent. Sides included mac and cheese, roasted potatoes, a squash medley, Brussels Sprouts, and mashed potatoes. A nice spread for a salad included mixed greens, large leaves of them. All the veggie toppings, two kinds of shredded cheeses, house made croutons, four dressings and fresh fruit that blew me away. Every bite of the fruit was ripe, sweet. Not the hard, no flavor offerings at some establishments/groceries this time of year. The gumbo had large pieces of shrimp, crawfish, sausage, potatoes, and smaller pieces of mussels, mini shrimp, etc. The breads selection was biscuits, baguette and others. All fresh, soft and crunchy. Great to dip into the gumbo broth. Dessert offerings included brownies and cookies. I opted to enjoy a brownie along with the fresh berries/fruit. They also offer a Sunday brunch buffet. The other nights they have a full menu. Be aware, they automatically add in a "brunch gratuity" of 20% to the bill. Overall, I would visit again.

There isn't much I'd say they could improve when it comes to chain steakhouses. I'd never go to outback over Saltgrass either. Their cocktails are nice and flavorful, I try a new one every time we go. My favorite by far is the grilled pineapple marg. My husband says he's never had a bad old fashioned from there either. Steaks are of decent quality (for a chain), not rubbery and have great flavor. I personally haven't ever received bad service from anyone there either. Im sure there are exceptions not to discredit anyone else's experience but ours have always been good. Whenever Im in the mood for a good steak dinner, I'll go here. They do offer call head seating so do it if it's a weekend, they stay pretty busy for that area.

This place was within walking distance of our hotel and it was a beautiful day, so we walked down to have some steaks for dinner. The inside decor is pretty retro - reminds me of the old school Lone Star/Texas Roadhouse style 90s places. We arrived about 4:45 p.m. on a Saturday and the place was already packed. We had to wait an hour at the bar for a table - we sat down about 5:45. I ordered the bacon wrapped filet with grilled shrimp and sweet potato fries. Got a first course of the Caesar salad and bread rolls. The kids menu was reasonably priced and the portions my kids got were pretty sizeable. My oldest got the sirloin, and my youngest got a burger. The food was delicious all around, although my steak was overcooked for what I ordered (medium rare). Overall, we had a pleasant experience. The long wait was really inconvenient with two kids, but the food came reasonably quickly (10 minutes for the first course, mains served 30 minutes after we sat). If we are back for competition in this area again, we'd certainly revisit. I debated between 3 and 4 stars -- I'd say 4 stars for the food at the table service, 3 and less for the long wait time.

While the staff were very nice, there was only one person running around managing all the tables, and my salmon salad was terrible - I specifically asked how the jalapeños were cut, so I could take them out if they were too hot - and was reassured that they were cut in coins/slices and would be easy to remove. When the salad came, they were diced super tiny and super spicy - and really difficult to remove. Also, a good part of my salad was avocado, and it was so unripe that it was crunchy! When I mentioned these concerns to the staff, the lady apologized about the jalapeños and said her niece works in the kitchen and had told her that she's been throwing away the soft avocados because that means they're not good anymore. Who has kitchen staff (especially family members) that don't even know what a ripe avocado looks and feels like?!? She did acknowledge and apologize that my salad was nothing like I had expected (or they had advertised), but did not offer any sort of a discount - although we also did not ask. As the only place with actual food in that area, we had high hopes, but sadly we will definitely NOT be back. The only reason I did not leave one star is because my husband ordered the beet salad. It was tiny, but tasted good.
