Delicious fish tacos and great iced tea! Fries are good too! Friendly staff. Parking is a nightmare.

I've lived across the street for two years now. Parkside opened roughly a year ago with great enthusiasm. Almost immediately the place was packed with a constant stream of people dining, drinking, hanging out on the patio etc.
The food is as great as it gets with a delish cheese burger (try the pimento), guacamole, buffalo spring rolls, & even the salads. The staff are service industry elites who are use to a high volume & high energy place Parkside has achieved. The atmosphere is like a busy neighborhood hangout. People bring their dogs and kids to the patio, everyone talks amongst groups, while the inside offers a cozier more calm traditional restaurant area.
On the bar & drinks... Even if you're just there to down a few pints or cocktails after work or there to make some new friends, you never feel like 2nd priority. The bartenders and staff are friendly and efficient and while I personally would like a wider variety of wines, Parkside gets high remarks with choice selection of glass pours, a wide variety of beers, & a exquisitely constructed cocktail menu.
Sadly, I depart the neighborhood next week but Parkside has become a staple of what every place should desire to achieve in Hyde Park. Kudos.
Vegetarian options: Premium salads, guacamole/pimento cheese, and a few other options!

Parkside is super bussin! The food is very good. There’s a cool shoe place that closes at six that your kids can go look at and right next to them is a big grass field to play! I stole my mom’s phone to write this, but when I’m old enough, I’m gonna drive here all the time. The fish taco and burger is absolute fire. I am ten years old and I approve this restaurant

I absolutely love eating at Parkside. The environment is perfect for the location and I recommend sitting outside for dinner! When I come in to eat I have always enjoyed being served by Ava. She’s got black hair and she’s tall and thin, you can’t miss her! Plenty of drinks to try at the bar and I recommend the buffalo chicken egg rolls.

First time trying Parkside this past weekend, and I was very pleased. The outdoor seating is perfect for nice weather, they have large umbrellas to shade the sun, and comfy couches if drinks and appetizers are more your vibe. We tried a few of the appetizers as well as the fish tacos and overall the food was an 7/10. The dip was the best thing we tried, especially the pimento dip!! I would definitely recommend this and orderinf for a table to share as an appetizer! We also tried the buffalo egg rolls and these were great as well. If you dont like spicy, avoid the sauce they come with. The empanadas on the other hand, were not so pleasant. They looked so good on the outside, but they lacked any flavor and tasted almost like dog food. We could barely finish one because they were just very unedible. I dont recommend the empanadas at all. Lastly, we tried the fish tacos and fries and both were very good! I enjoyed the sauce the fries came in! Overall, Parkside is a super cute new restaurant that I will definitely be coming back to. The outside seating is just so nice and the pimento dip, so good!

If I could give 10 stars for service, I would!
I don't want to go into the details, as the focus of the review should be on the establishement. The short of it is that the service team and management handled a difficult situation very swiftly and decisively, and my partner and I were very very appreciative of it.
I've been here multiple times so far and every time it's been delicious. The fish tacos are excellent as are the salads. Portions are quite generous and I find the pricing very reasonable.

Many of the “gluten free” items are not actually actually gluten free because they are cooked in a shared fryer with gluten containing items. This is misleading. The owner hovered around our table and asked for my companion’s drink order within a minute of them arriving. My napkin arrived dirty. It was a disappointing experience overall.

Wow! I tell ya what - the folks at Dolwood have hit it "out of the PARK" with PARKside"! Ha ha just a little joke - what isn't a joke though is the food here though. I don't think I have ever had anything like the Yuca Frieds before - and had to order a second plate of those. The sauce that came with it wAnd the burger, whoo wee! The grillt jalpenos. That was a great. BurgerAll in all if you're looking for some good food, good people in a fun place, mosey on over to Parkside, you trust in that!
