Parkside is a locally owned and operated Downtown Raleigh Restaurant located at the entrance of the Warehouse District. Parkside is situated on the corner of West Martin and South Dawson streets across from historic Nash Square. It was this urban park, one of the four original parks in downtown that inspired the name Parkside.

Housed at street level and under the longest running neon restaurant sign in North Carolina you will find our doors, which have been the threshold to hospitality for this neighborhood for over one hundred years. Parkside believes in continuing this tradition in every way. From the warm red brick and reclaimed barn wood clad bar to the NC solid poplar tabletops, we want our guests to feel welcome. Whether you are sampling one of our 25+ beers on tap or enjoying our chef inspired locally sourced fare, your experience is our priority.

    We had high hopes for this restaurant as it got many positive reviews and the menu looked great. What a disappointment. Service was slow, and I’m flummoxed as to how I was served completely flat Prosecco. After being unable to flag down our server, my husband ended up taking it to the bar himself to exchange it for something else. My husband’s pork chop was extremely overcooked and dry, and my fish and chips were also extremely overcooked as well as salty. Just a complete flop for us.

    The food was mediocre! However the service was horrible! When my husband’s burger came out, he asked about condiments, particularly mayo and mustard. The girl literally rolled her eyes and said what? We were shocked! Hence no tip, which is something we never do! We are always 18% or more tippers!!! We will never go back.

    Had some friends visiting from out of town and took them here. Good central location. Good quality food and drinks. We sat outside and it was a good night. Only issue was that they close "early" - last call was at 950p on Sat night so get started early!

    Made a reservation at Park Street for three on Friday the 26th of August 2023 for 1700hrs. Met by the young lady at the door and she promptly ushered us to our table. Our waiter Nick came and introduced himself, took our drink orders, told us of any "specials" and then gave us time to look over the menu. Came back and took our orders. I ordered the Prime Rib, my two companions ordered the Beef Stroganoff, and the Meatloaf. Our food came and Nick was right there and made sure we were happy and did we need anything and again checking on us throughout the meal making sure we wanted for nothing. Top notch service as far as I am concerned. The food was very tasty and all of us liked our food. The area I would say they can improve on is the "acoustics". We were seated in a booth by the sidewalk window but I feel the noise level would have been the same anyplace in the restaurant also. It was a bit of an effort to talk to each other and the place wasn't even full yet. It was full by the time we left and noise level was even much higher. Bottom line? The food and service are very good. An overall good experience. I would go there again and I would recommend the place to a friend.

    It took a bit to get a server, but once that was resolved it was a solid experience. Rustic urban environment and excellent food. Pork chop was gorgeous, tender and juicy. Rene sandwich was moist and tender and well-seasoned.

    Lovely restaurant with good food - we had Hummus as a starter and a salad and salmon for mains and it was all delicious. But the best part was their chocolate ‘s’mores dessert with molten chocolate in the center. Service by Jessica was also outstanding. Our total came to $75 for 2 including non alcoholic drinks and tea/coffee so good value for money as well.

    Menu is designed with large servings. One will not go away hungry. Bloody Mary is quite good. Prices seem reasonable given recent inflation challenges.

    We've dined at Parkside several times and have yet to have a bad meal or poor service. Our last visit was no exception. Great food and great service! This was our first time taking advantage of their Sunday brunch, and we were not disappointed. We'll definitely eat there again.

    Will try again. Has always been one of my favorite brunch spots but the short rib eggs benedict was a miss this time. Always loved the horseradish hollandaise but it was lacking horseradish aside from there being very little sauce at all. Short ribs were a little dry. But, mainly, the eggs were cooked to the congealed state. Ugh. Both mine and my daughters. My dads chef salad was super fresh and he enjoyed it.

    We did a staycation in Downtown Raleigh and progressive dinner with drinks, appetizers, mains, and dessert all at different places. We could have chosen Parkside for any course, but opted for dinner based on their amazing menu. My wife had Matt's Mom's meatloaf and absolutely loved it! I had the Auntie Nessa 3 cheese grilled cheese on sourdough with tomato bisque which was excellent! We will definitely be back!
