Play Pokies at Parkside Hotel in Parkside

Mother's Day experience wasn't quite what we'd hoped for. Drinks voucher wasn't given on arrival. Table was horribly wobbly and after two requests to attend to with no help, were forced to sort it out ourselves. I booked for 7 people a month prior and was polite enough to amend my booking two days prior only to be placed on a wobbly high table as struggled to eat without continually tipping it. For a high end pub left disappointed, particularly given it was supposed to be my wife's special day. ☹️

Absolutely horrible experience! I read beautiful reviews so thought me and my family would come try it out, we sat at the playground and ordered through the app, only for our food to come out stone cold. Chips burnt and looked old like they just chucked old chips in the fryer. and then my 8yr old son had to wait 15 minutes for his food to come out after we all received ours, I did order all the food at the same time. I had to go up to the desk twice to ask about his food and the second time the lady at the front asked if I was sure I ordered it, I then showed her the proof and receipt as I ordered through the app, when his food finally arrived it was also stone cold!! Disgusting attitude from the staff and manager, not professional at all. I will be telling everyone I know to avoid this and to go to the Akaba hotel next door, much better food, staff are beautiful and the atmosphere is gorgeous.

Saturday lunch
Visited the Parkside hotel for the first time in Saturday. Nice venue located on the eastern fringe of the city. The venue has a number of sections from outdoor eating, and more private areas, including a small outdoor playground.
The outdoor playground provided enough entertainment for the adults to eat in peace and still view the kids playing.

Menu is as extensive offering the usual pub classics to a few more exotic dishes. They also have a good kids menu to choose from.

We were a group of 11, and ordered bruschetta, garlic bread and calamari to share. Bruschetta had a nice glaze but not overpowering and calamari were tender and well seasoned - both standouts. Kids meals followed soon after - fish and chips were the go, and these were cooked well and looks inviting. Kids meals included ice cream which always goes down well.

Adults choose the burger, steak sandwich, steak, and asian style chicken salad.

Most meals were good, steak sandwich for me was very good, flavours were spot on and really enjoyed it. Chicken salad needed a little more punch from the dressing, and didn't have enough chicken.

Staff were accommodating due to the last minute booking. Food arrived quickly and dishes were presented well.

Overall a good experience and will be back.

Beautifully renovated dining room looking out towards an enclosed grapevined courtyard.
We ordered the porterhouse with Charred broccoli and roast potatoes with accompanying salads including broccoli and fennel salad and a green salad .
The steak was beautifully charred and had very little fat which you would normally cut off. It was just a top cut of meat. Everything was perfectly done. I have revisited the review to add that it's probably the best cut of porterhouse we've had in an Adelaide pub. Can we reiterate it again? The steak was awesome and as you can see, I've done a lot of reviews..
Then to top it off a raspberry the chocolate cake delicious.

First time here. Great atmosphere. Comfortable seating. Delicious food. Huge serving. Shared mains. Fish was Devine, chops awesome and tasty Asian slaw. Quick service and friendly staff 10/10
