    To-Go Menu with prices( Sept '24)
    Julia S.

    This was a fun, Sunday brunch location after visiting friends in Manhattan and we're about to heading back home. The restaurant was an old gas station/ body shop when I went to school in Manhattan when I went to college. Now it's revamped to a retro place to grab a bite for breakfast or lunch, baked good, morning cocktail, and coffee. It had indoor and outdoor seating allowing with various seating options from indoor bar seating to tabletop or outdoor covered to uncovered choices. They had a lot of friendly faces working with a flow of customers that kept the employee constantly moving; however, it made it difficult to keep the coffee cups constantly topped. The menu is not extensive but what we did order was frustratingly delicious. I was cautious to order anything more out of fear to be disappointed. I think I should have risked trying something else while I had the chance. There was four of us and we all tried, Drinks - Iced Latte ( ordered twice) - Hot Coffee (kept refilling by Paramour Coffee) - Espresso Tonic ( I didn't order this originally but I did finish it since I liked the citrusy beverage) Food - Cinnamon Roll from Little Batch Co (right next door), a fluffy huge and delicious cinnamon roll that tasted homemade with love - BISCUITS & GRAVY ,fluffy buttermilk biscuits smothered in chipotle sausage gravy. Served with two fried eggs and herb roasted potatoes.* (choice of condiments Goujhang, honey mustard, ketchup, and ranch) - Buttermilk Grits Roasted Vegetable - roasted summer vegetables, breakfast potatoes, pickled red onion and crema served over buttermilk grits. I split with a friend and each of us ordered a side egg. I made sure the plates didn't leave the table licked clean.

    Coffee was really good with lots of options to choose from. The burgers were great too, and I loved their fries and ranch. We also played a game while we were there, which made the experience even more fun.

    Adorable! Parkside features a modern, retro design in a converted garage, with a cool and casual ambiance. I stopped by for a quick lunch when I was in Manhattan, KS for a few weeks and was drawn to this uniquely designed restaurant and bakery. They were pretty busy for lunch, but my service at the bar was quick and friendly. I ordered the summer vegetable grits, which were flavorful with quality ingredients and ample vegetables. I didn't get a chance to try any of the baked goods, but they looked delicious. Highly recommend a visit!

    Stopped for a bite and enjoyed it quite a bit - the various benedicts we ordered were yummy and quite creative, and the outside dining area looks like an enjoyable place to hang out. Didn't get to try dinner menu but all the items sound appealing.

    Okay, so I read past reviews and looked at the ratings. WTF? Are you people tone-deaf to your ignorance? The ambiance at Parkside is excellent, mid-century modern, carved out of an old garage. The menu is an eclectic spin on traditional American food. Everything appears to be handcrafted and, in my opinion, well executed. The breakfast burger with the pimento mornay was lovely. The buttermilk grits were quite tasty. The bread pudding with crème anglaise was fabulous. The super simple but delicious vegetable sandwich was fantastic. Folks start by ignoring the winy reviews. Now there's nothing left to do but get ya some!

    Outstanding food, service, and atmosphere! Parkside is a fun relaxing place to enjoy a meal, a drink, and a great outdoor place. The menu is simple but great. Cannot go wrong and highly recommend! Live music sometimes too!

    Really enjoyed our brunch! Nice change of scenery compared to the other places in Manhattan. Can't wait to come back!

    Location and atmosphere is great! Friendly staff. Food is good and there is variety. GF and V options! Very slow service, not a place for a quick meal. Took about 45 minutes.

    Croissant?!?!

    I've come here a few times already. I've forgotten this is Kansas, when you order poached eggs, they extremely over poached. So we have to lower our standards when it comes to cultural appropriation and deal with it. Beggars can't be choosers. This was my first time getting a croissant here. I've noticed in the mid-west no one makes them they way they should it's always burnt. They still supposed to be extremely light golden brown and soft when you take them out the oven. Also no one here remembers to spray them with water before this bread is baked in the oven either. Coffee is great thou. Coffee shop kind of has an attitude.

    Great atmosphere but 90 minute wait for food with no communication from management. Will not return.

    Do not order the Lemon Thyme Chicken. My meal gave me awful food poisoning. Will never be going again.

    Fantastic Breakfast Spot in the heart of Downtown Manhattan Kansas!…read more The food quality was great, ordered the I love meat skillet! Service was attentive & friendly. Just be aware there are lines on the weekends on Saturday & Sundays but they're not too bad. We were originally told 30-40 min but we had a table in about 10-15 min was well worth it. The food was very tasty, good portions & priced very affordably. Was very happy with all of the above, will definitely be making our way back here more often!

    Always enjoyed coming here during my time studying at Kansas State…read more This breakfast joint is very cozy, with some of the best eggs and dishes I've ever had for a breakfast place. The decor, and aesthetic are well thought out, with indoor and outdoor spaces to eat, and the staff is very welcoming and don't mind talking. Jacob was my server at the Chef and he was on top of everything, helped with ordering and answered any questions I had. I chose the special for the day, the Cuban Bennie, and I'm glad he talked me into it. I will say if you can get there before it opens and can make it in at opening time, do it, because by the time we had ordered and finished the line was starting. Time to order, and receive food was ~ 20 min, coffee remained filled as was water. If you're visiting or a local, highly recommend this cozy breakfast place.

    Wine Dive Kitchen is a lovely restaurant in downtown Manhattan…read more I found them on OpenTable and booked a reservation for dinner on a Friday night. We were able to get in at 8:15. It was a little late, but they were super busy with a large party in a private room. Once we got in and got seated, the delightful server took excellent care of us. My wife wasn't really hungry so she just nibbled off my plate. I started with a half of a wedge salad, which was delicious. They had a special on a piece of paper that night, which was a smoked pastrami, burnt ends sandwich with homemade rye bread. It was glorious! Very creative and fun. Since I don't love fries, they were kind enough to substitute deviled eggs as my side dish. I didn't know there would be an up charge for that but it's okay because they were delicious. We each had two drinks from the bar and they were made very well. They have a huge wine, seller and a great selection as one would expect by the name of the place. This restaurant has other locations in Lawrence and Wichita and I would eat at any of the three. Very cool menu and an amazing wine selection. This is really good food.

    Heard great things about this place and it did not disappoint!…read moreStarted with the Ahi Nachos and I could have a whole plate of those! Great balance, flavor and presentation. I was feeling something lighter, so ordered the Fattoush Salad and added salmon for a dinner meal and it was very good, though didn't wow me like my guy was raving about his burger! They had their wine menu on an iPad (wide selection + easily updated) that had everything from fancy bottles to affordable glasses. Don't skip the cheesecake if they have it either!
