Food truck turned restaurant. They have an amazing mac and cheese grilled cheese, and their salads are delicious. This is also a fairly busy restaurant, but has better luck for groups! It is also a little cheaper than some other restaurants around the area!

Rowe's is also open for dinner, serving one of the best burgers in town. I highly recommend going there for brunch-- they have a bloody mary bar, excellent selection of brunch options, as well as outdoor seating that is pet friendly! The restaurant is family and group friendly!

Hotbox and Wooden Goat are owned by the same folks. This is an Asian fusion shop, located in a trailer in the back of Parkside. It's a hidden spot that really only locals know about. We recommend the drunken noodles.
