Parkside American Grille

Came here randomly on a Sunday late-morning to chat with a friend. Their menu is varied and pleasing, and they outdoor seating on a house-porch has a beautiful view of a little duck pond. Very nice. That's where it ended.

I ordered a roasted beet salad and a decaf coffee. They coffee was meh, but the beet salad was one of the worst salads I've ever had. It was supposed to have roasted beets but there were 4-5 very thin slices of (most definitely) canned beets, which had no flavor, no salt, no roasting, and were cold. Other than that, there was a small portion of goat cheese (which was fine) and a WHOLE lot of lettuce that tasted like vinegar. YEP, I said it. There were no other flavors present, just plain old white vinegar. No other spices or flavors. Then there was a weird clump of sauteed onions on top, which also had no flavor. I tried to eat that salad, but it was like, well - eating grass sprinkled with vinegar. Come on folks - the dressing is kind of crucial when you only have 4 components to your salad. My throat started to hurt from the overwhelming vinegar so I did not eat it.

My friend got a fancy egg creation, which LOOKED beautiful, but he said tasted extremely bland. No spices, weird textures, and not even a splash of salt. There was also no salt or pepper on the table. It was tiny for a $9 breakfast, and no good.

Avoid until they learn how to make food TASTE good.

I live around the corner from parkside.  I've been there many times for lunch, dinner, even New Years.  The ambiance is very up to date and pleasant.  Most importantly I've never had a meal here I didn't like...in fact I've never been here with anyone who had a bad meal.
Support local business and enjoy a great meal, win win.

Went here this past week with my girl.  A wednesday isn't usually crowded and this was the case.  We were seated and having read some reviews from Yelp vets, I ordered.

Buger and sweet potato fries (fries were the recommendation).  Burger was a little overcooked for medium, and the bun could have beren toasted but that's just from someone who enjoys a great burger.  
The fries were as expected, amazing.  Probably the best I've ever had, and I've eaten a lot.

The restaurant boasted an outside second story deck, which over the summer would probably be great.  The duck pond is just another touch for the outdoor eating.  The Souderton area has little to no good places to eat, so this place shines.
