Parkside Station

This place is so cute! It is a restored gas station with a fresh modern spin. Awesome food that isn't typical midwest fare, amazing cocktails, perfect pastries that aren't too sweet, and friendly staff. I have gone many times since they opened, and will continue to go back. I've read a few of the negative reviews on here and it bothers me that people say "I like to support local, but..." or "we need more places like this here in Manhattan, but..." If you honestly like to support local, you wouldn't give a small buisness one chance at doing its best specifically for you. Running a business is hard, especially a restaurant. Staff can be new, first day even, cost of food is higher than ever, and maintaining a perfect balance 100% of the time is not easy for anyone. My point is, be kind. Don't judge a place off of one not so great experience. If you really care, keep your one star reviews to yourself. Bring your concerns up with someone that can do something about it. Because to big chain places one star reviews don't matter, but to a new small business, it can mean everything. Support Local and Be Kind. Cheers.

Really friendly service & the pastry was divine! Really happy this place is in Manhattan now!

I really wanted to love this place because it has a great atmosphere and menu but it was the worst service I think I’ve ever had. We get there, we’re told we should have someone coming outside. We sit outside for 20 minutes…then go inside and ask if we need to order inside. We are told “I think you have a server” Okay? We walk inside because we are not going to wait any longer. We start ordering coffee. The menu is on the ground where no one can see it. We order coffee. The barista gives it to us and says “I think this is the one with almond milk”. You think? You just made the coffee and either one of us could be allergic to milk or almond milk. She then says, “just try it and see”. You guys have a logistical nightmare. I want to love a cute place like this but after wasting an hour I don’t think I can. There is no direction, the hosts don’t know what’s going on, and everyone sitting outside starting asking around what to do.

Food was great but it was 30 mins before we got waters and 2 hrs total for a quick lunch.

Nice service, food, and atmosphere! But the price for a half way filled glass of mimosa being $8??? When we were served our mimosas I genuinely thought it was leftover from another groups order. You get about 2 gulps of the drink for $8. I just can’t justify that price with the stinginess of the pour…..

Ordered mimosas and sat at the bar, they were probably 4fl ounces at most… that’s being generous, even tho they were $8. Food is good. Not worth the wait or the price.

A wonderful spot for breakfast, lunch or dinner! The food is fantastic, the service is top notch and it’s a fun place to hang out. Go and try it!!

Wonderful addition to Manhattan ks. Best place to eat! Delic from the sweets ( morning bun) to the wide variety of palatable delights. Well thought out menu with locally sourced clean products. Well done

Love this place! Great food, Great food, great people! Get in there!
