Solid on ingredients and meats. + Very nice service. They gave us a free dessert with our order. - Not a lot of flavor. Even the regular gyro, which smells wonderful, doesn't taste out of the ordinary. Avgolemono soup did not really have lemon. On the plus side, the lemon potatoes were a hit all around. + The spanakopita was crunchy crust with soft interior. ---------- The rice pudding, in my mind, had no flavor and was overstuffed with gigantic overcooked rice. The worst I've ever had. Yet the rest of my family seemed to like it?! So I just can't even. I'm not eating here again but I won't fault others who do. It's a choice, you like what you like, and again, the service was very friendly to us. But I will keep going the extra miles to Thavma in Livingston for my high quality taste.

(2/5) Pita was SO HARD and stale like when you microwave a piece of bread too long. Falafel was ok but borderline frozen vibes. The fries were also soggy so maybe not the best for takeout. Soup was piping hot and tasted ok but thicker than I expected and the orzo and chicken were overcooked. So sad. Lamb-beef gyro pita (2/5) Meat was overcooked and again the pita was hard as a rock.... Sadly for the price just not worth it. We have other options in Fairfield and beyond for more quality.

My fiancé and I dined there recently early one evening. We had a male server who was a bit loud AND aggressive about placing our order. At the end of the meal (tip time) he came over and chatted us up. He asked me where I was from, as I have a slight southern accent. He then asked my partner the same thing. My partner referenced his religion rather than where he was from. The server then said 'oh, I'm cheap like you' then patted him on the back and chuckled. We both looked at each other and were like 'did he actually just say that'? We were stunned. I mean, seriously.... I guess we could have addressed it with management but we just wanted to leave. Everyone else has been lovely when we have eaten there. We won't be going back as often due to this person's behavior. So many other places in the area that we can go to without being insulted.

After receiving food posioning and the associated hospital expenses, I've contacted the Management…read moregroup and absolutely no response. Dear Management Team, I am writing to formally report a severe case of food poisoning resulting from a takeout order I purchased from Parkside Social on April 17, 2026. Following the consumption of this meal, I became violently ill and required a two-day hospitalization. As a direct result of this incident, I have incurred significant medical bills and out-of-pocket costs, which are detailed in the attached documentation. While I understand your organization may not yet have accepted formal responsibility, the timeline and medical diagnosis directly link my illness to the food consumed from your establishment. I request a full reimbursement for the attached out-of-pocket medical expenses totaling $596.93. Please review the attached receipts and documentation. I look forward to your prompt response to resolve this matter amicably.

What a lovely restaurant! We went in for brunch for my cousin's birthday. There was potentially if…read morespace available for a group, however, we did make reservations in advance. The service was good, the servers were very kind and patient. My family said the oysters were really good, they ended up ordering a second round. The deviled eggs were perfectly seasoned and moist, great consistency. The French toast was excellent! It was a generous size, I ended up taking some leftovers. Grandma had the Parkside pancakes which was just delightful. Nice spot with delicious food and plenty of space for a large gathering. Would definitely recommend here.

There is an entrance with a ramp and stairs. I want to say that the workers at Garden State Tavern are the best! Everyone is extremely kind and welcoming. I attended a private event as this location. The room that they have is big, with plenty of windows, and very clean. They allowed us to bring in a band so having our own live music was great! They offered food in buffet style. This included pizza, chicken, and sliders. I would rate the food a 3/5. The staff was very attentive during my time there, always asking if we needed anything else.

And, considering the quality, the value is pretty decent as well. A few recommendations. Prime rib, available only on Monday is outstanding. NY Strips and Rib Eye, are always a solid choice. The Steak Sandwich is absolutely incredible, trust me. Plus, their Pork Chop is amazing when its available. My only negative is that the dress code has become lax over time. I'm not a fancy guy. But for the first several years there was an upscale vibe and guests dressed appropriately which made the experience feel premium. Now it isn't all that uncommon to see guests wearing worn out tee shirts, sweat shirts, flip flops, cutoffs, etc. Nothing crazy, but a collard shirt and no flip flop code would be a fair. With all that said, I love this place and I think you will as well. Give it a try.
