About Lakeside
Lakeside Reviews
For NCSU graduate lunch- Bill and staff treated us as 🐺family from our first reservation request. Communication was clear and totally invested in making our day perfect. From the delicious food to the custom Wolf Tracks ice cream order and of course the epitome of NCSU landscaping- it was beyond expectations.
I can not recommend Lakeside Kitchen enough! Great service & atmosphere. The food is absolutely fantastic.
A hidden lakeside gem on Centennial Campus. Very chic and hidden on the campus of NCSU. The decor is elegant and modern. The space is designed in a way that it is quiet, yet is open and sunlit. Fresh and delicate salad dressed just right. The salmon was seared and seasoned perfectly. Can’t wait to go back and looking for a reason to have en event here.
