Great brunch food with fabulous portions. They use HALAL meat in many dishes you just need to let them know and they will accommodate. The waffles are sublime (not too sweet) and a convenient kids’ menu. A great option for family brunch outing.

We found Parkside through social media on TikTok and hands-down, amazing environment and amazing food. Hospitality was great from the owner and as well as from the servers highly recommend eating here and exploring their menu from their drinks so the appetizers to their main course meals.

If you’re looking for a gourmet-level brunch spot that pays attention to detail- with fresh ingredients, beautiful presentation, and perfectly balanced flavors in every dish, then this is the place!! Best of all they provide halal options for all dishes. Can’t wait to come back soon to try other items on the menu

Parkside Eats is certainly a no frills location, where we were served by the owner himself. Upon walking in we were greeted by Ryan the owner, he was very friendly and gave us the rundown of Parkside. From the beginning he explained the emphasis of his location was not glamor or pizzazz but a wholesome pride in his food. The food itself was delicious and comforting, I went with my wife, we can highly recommend the truffle lobster fries (says it's for 4, but we ate it all anyway). Would definitely come back again. Was surprised the place wasnt packed. (for context, we came on a Tuesday morning). They serve drinks, but if you want a mimosa, it is a BYOB location (no liquor)

The food was delicious. We tried the orange wings and crab egg rolls. Both were super crispy and fresh. My husband had the side chix sliders and he raved about them. I tried the cheesy lobster fries which definitely can be shared by many! My kids both had pancakes which were some of the best we have had! The service was exceptional considering we left a stuffy behind when we left at closing and the owner waited for us to come back to get it! We will definitely stop in again when we are in the area!

Our group of 6 adults and 2 children showed up right after they opened. With no reservations yet they seated us without an issue and treated us wonderfully. All the dishes we ordered were delicious. The fig empanadas were so yummy! The vanilla chai latte was perfectly balanced between good flavor and not overly sweet. The owner/chef served us and asked what we thought of the taste. I highly recommend you check this place out. Add it to your list of places to eat.

Excellent food and amazing service! My friends and I actually when they were near closing, but the owner served us with great service and passion toward his food. He introduced us the specialties and some of the best dishes on his menu as well as serving us sample of his new dish (with figs which was amazing). I definitely enjoy the mora (blackberry smoothie, you can also get milkshake) and the monte listo! the flavor was amazing, flavor very balanced! ngl we tried wayy more than we can eat so we had to take it home, but the steak taco was amazing too. The owner's attitude made the place even more welcoming! definitely recommend and will go again

Loved the service and the food here! The owner greeted us as soon as we walked in and went through the specialty menu with us and gave us samples as well. Everything was delicious and portions were also more than enough to leave us full! Will definitely be visiting here with my friends again.

Excellent service! Maria our waitress was extremely welcoming and patient in explaining the menu to my mom and I. The food was delicious and such huge portions. Everything came out hot and you could tell the ingredients were fresh. This will definitely be our new go to breakfast spot!

Decided to give this place a try after coming across it on Tiktok and learning that they converted to a halal menu. I ordered the BECY which came with a side of potatoes and it was delicious! The potatoes alone were great and cooked with vegetables; I’m used to brunch spots skimping out on sides😅 We ordered the elote appetizer for the table and it was a hit as well. Will definitely be going back and bringing my family. Shoutout Maria!
