    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.

    Bavarian pretzel starter

    This is a relaxing place for our little group to meet for catch up every couple of months. The servers are great and the food has been delicious. The only thing that seemed off tonight was the queso served with the giant Bavarian pretzel. We had: Fried pickle spears Bavarian pretzel Sirloin with mashed potatoes Chicken Caesar salad Salmon Caesar salad It was another great night. See you in three months!!

    Big Menu, Bold Flavors Parkside is yet another excellent wendell Falls Parkway dining option. While the decor is rather austere, the service and food are first-rate. There is ample outdoor dining and a full-service bar with a good selection of draft beers. I particularly like the diverse menu and surprising variations on many tried and true classics. The Deviled Eggs starter is kicked up a notch with the addition of Jalapeño and Bacon. I really like the Chicken & Waffle Sandwich. The slightly crunchy Belgian Waffle is wrapped around a crispy fried Chicken Breast and topped with Hot Chipotle Honey - yum! If you are looking for a plate full of pure comfort food, try Mom's Meatloaf. The substantial portion of this old-fashioned favorite brought back fond memories of mom's kitchen. For something a little out of the ordinary, try that Canadian favorite (with a twist) Short Rib Poutine. The French Fries are smothered in a Hot Jalapeño Gravy, Garlicky Cheese Curds, Green Onions and chunks of Fork-Tender Boneless Short Ribs - so delicious. For something more basic, there's a very good Grilled Chicken Sandwich on a Brioche Bun. The fresh House Salad with Lettuce, shredded Cabbage and Carrots, Cucumber and Cherry Tomatoes is a perfect accompaniment for this hearty winner. There were a couple of items that missed the mark - at least with us. The Veggie Wrap with Coleslaw was bland and uninteresting and the slaw was not to our liking. We also did not care for the Tomato Bisque.

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

    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.

    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.

    Fried Chicken Plate

    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

    David T.

    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
