    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.

    Very bad Jerk Chicken

    I was visiting my son at Kstate and took him there to try a new spot. The restaurant was cute and well decorated. His burger was good but my jerk chicken was terrible. No jerk seasoning/no flavor at all. I was so disappointed. Actually it was not even a good baked chicken. When I questioned the server about it they brought me hot sauce and salt and pepper. I should've asked for a manager but I didn't and should've. Jerk chicken should not need all of that just to eat it. I'm not sure I am willing to get disappointed again.

    Great day in the morning beautiful people of Yelpsville. Thank you for sharing a moment of this…read morefine life we're living, together. The 250th anniversary of being the new kids on the blue marble is upon us. My fam decided to make a pilgrimage back to the wifes stomping grounds. The heartland, Kansas. We're staying in the "Little Apple", Manhattan, Ks. Home of K-State University. Well also home of The Chef, which should be just as famous and endeared. The Chef is this gorgeous, chic, yet not so that it's kitschy diner in the heart of the main district of Manhattan. A classic diner, from the hospitality of the service staff, to the lunch counter with cute doodads for salt and pepper shakers. You've been here, because you've been home, or so it feels. Yes, be prepared to snuggle in for a teensy wait, because everyone loves home cooking, especially when someone else is doing the dishes afterwards. The portions are truly well beyong the prices. I ordered a CFS, smothered in sausage gravy. Was plated a Texas sized portion, thick steak, lightly crispily breaded, with a savory southern styled country gravy that honestly looked a bit intimidating in quantity, but I'm no fraidy cat. I came to conquer. Two perfectly running over medium eggs, whites done, yolks on the run, my style. A mountain of softly crunchy, better-than-homestyle fried potatoes, and a slice of thick cut wheat toast. This was a ton O' grub Bubba dub. Each component treated and seasoned well enough, to eat stand alone. Our meal partner kept checking on the family to see if we needed any more of that rich Arabica bean juice, or water, with the care of your fav Auntee from Mississippi, but right here, in the Land of Ahhhhs. She was winning us, even as much as The Chef that prepared the feast itself, and the food. Whew. The belly beat down was in effect, but I didn't tap out. I took that esophageal excitement with relish. Well not relish, with a sweet house made strawberry compote on toast. I wiped the plate clean. $15. You read that right... just $15. Oh I understand $15 is real money in this economy, but in relationship to the level of service, quality of service, epic portion sizes, and the finesse with which this small diner beat most anywhere we've been, and we share 39 years of worldwide travel as an old married couple, this was a bargain at $15, in the 90s. For sure back home in Texas this was honestly a $21 - $26 plate, and we're a beef producing state. Still with me? You're the real hero for hanging in here, and I truly appreciate you. If ever you want to taste Americas 250 years, in one sitting, visit The Chef in Manhattan, Ks. It's families feeding the community. No political spin, no feeling unwelcomed. An open door, to open hearts, feeding hungry bellies, without crushing your purses and wallets. They leave room in your account to make you want to reciprocate with generosity in returning, but also, tipping heartfully, without pressure. I miss when a meal was worth tipping huge without feeling it wasn't worth it. Here at the Chef, the earn it the old way. Be well, be loved, we're in this life past this page no matter what social media tells you. Hugs to you from me and mine. Go out and smile like ya mean it. Laugh like you're cray cray, and love like tomorrow isn't coming. Want pics? Nope. This place is worth you seeing for yourself. My pictures wouldn't do them justice. Peace y'all.

    Solid breakfast spot. Yummy drinks, food variety has something for everyone, and a cute cafe…read moreambiance tops it off!

Colorful, maximalist, and funky! I was greeted instantly by the bartender and we talked about the inspiration of the place, and how the sound system was right on for the theme. Let's hope they can get that vinyl system working with the digital monitors... that's always a tedious process! The food though, it brought it home.

The way my head snapped around when I saw their cute patio & literally said out loud "what is that place?!" Decor: Gives a "moraccan nights" feel. Very laid back. Plush cushions to relax into. Perfect place to hang with some friends. Cocktails: Reasonably priced. You can buy one cocktail or order a groupie that serves 4-6. My favorite is the Daybed. It's light, crisp, and perfect for these hot summer days. Service: Outstanding. Our server made us feel right at home. She was quick to answer any questions and attentive to our table. Food: My group sampled a few po'zo's (think sandwich but folded inside pizza dough bread), a couscous special, and artichoke & arugula dip. Everything we tried was delicious. We had a hard time settling on our appetizer because every single one of their appetizers sound amazing. Overall: Great vibe. Tasty yet affordable cocktails. Delicious food. I am looking forward to sampling more from their menu in the near future!
