Great Spot with Good Food & Drinks
My experience at this restaurant, located at the busiest intersection in South Park, was positive. You first order your food and drinks outside, and then find your own seating until your order is ready. Drinks are available for pickup at the bar.
While the space isn't large, the layout is well-designed for both indoor and outdoor seating. The food is great, and the drinks are also excellent, with a good variety of craft and domestic options. The bartenders were fast and receptive.
I highly recommend this place for any group outing.

Great Food and Amazing Service!
My experience at Fernside was excellent. The food, particularly the waffle fries, was delicious, as expected. What truly stood out was the exceptional service.
The staff went above and beyond by finding and holding onto a souvenir cup I accidentally left behind. I'm very grateful to the friendly Fernside staff for their honesty and helpfulness.

Excellent Food and Service
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I enjoyed the delicious food, and the service was fast and friendly. The Cubano was excellent, served with a generous portion of criss-cut fries.
I also found the Spicy Paloma very nice. It's great that they have a dog-friendly patio.

Happy Hour Drinks, Skip the Food
My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. The batched cocktails were good, and I would definitely come back to have a couple on a warm afternoon. However, the food left a lot to be desired.
I found that there are many better options for dining within a 3-minute walk. I'd recommend starting your evening here for happy hour drinks and then going somewhere else after for good food.

Great Food and Friendly Service!
My experience at this restaurant was great! I had a cheeseburger that was delicious. The gentleman behind the bar, who seemed to be handling both the bar and kitchen, provided excellent customer service and was very friendly.
The entire vibe of the place was nice. While it's a bar and might not be the best for young children, my two kids and I enjoyed the food. Thank you for a good meal; I will definitely come back if I'm in the city!

Great place for a birthday party!
My experience at the restaurant was great. It's a dog friendly place, and we were greeted by 4 pups, which was a nice touch. I think it would be a great place for a birthday party; I'd at least want to have one there.

Great character, weird ordering
I love this place. It has great character and great drinks. One note for the owners: the ordering your first drink/food at the cashier outside is.
Weird. It’s not actually functionally a problem but it was definitely jarring the first time I came.

Great Neighborhood Spot for Everyone!
This is our favorite neighborhood food place, and it's great for everyone! Whether you're with family, on a date, in a group, or even with your dog or grandparents, this place has you covered. The food is good too!
We highly recommend getting the burger or cheesesteak.
