Parkside Pub And Smokehouse – BBQ Restaurant - Dartmouth, Nova Scotia

Burger 10 for burger week 2024 B3A Burger 6-oz beef burger topped with slow maple-smoked pulled pork, crispy jalapeno-cheddar-spiced house potato chips, and smoky honey mayo on a classic burger bun with a bite-sized crispy mac ‘n’ cheese fritter. I was unsure if I wanted to try here but the burger did sound ... like it would be good. Last time here I found the food too salty but heard it's gotten better. The good - The first couple bites had good flavor, pretty sure it was the sauce. It did make the pulled pork taste good, I was a bit surprised cause I can never find good pulled pork unless it's ribfest. Lol. The chips had a good crunch. The not so good - I was not a fan of this bun. It was sorta soft, except for the top. It was hard and crunchy but just on the outer layer. One I got a few bites in the flavor was gone. The patty was larger in the middle and tasted like it wasn't seasoned at all and definitely was drier compared to the last burger. Parts of the pulled pork also lost flavor in the middle when I picked it out separately, just a slight smoky flavor. The little mac and cheese nugget, not much cheesy taste and it was dry compared to others I've had. Overall, sauce was the best part and the pulled pork was ok. Also there was a good portion of chips and they had good flavor! (they were stuck to the top of the bun when I took the picture) I think a smaller patty would have done this burger better. Read more

Been here a few times in the past couple weeks. Service is great...friendly staff and patrons and the food all looks good...however I can't get away from the Belle Burger to try anything else. Maybe someday but for now it's gonna be the go-to! 🍔

My BFFs and I always celebrate our birthdays and try different places. I was a little sceptical on this place however was pleasantly surprised of the quality of food everything was delicious! The servings were good sizes and even had some for take home. I had the tortellini, girls had ... the chicken Cesar salads and amazing chicken wings. Server was very nice and atmosphere was great. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves the server even took our picture. Thanks again. Read more

Go for the BBQ! Wings amazing, candied pork belly amazing! Got the combo platter, did not disappoint. My son got the steak and ordered med rare and it came well done. (Not their jam I suppose) Huge portions and thunder mugs of beer. Right off the highway easy to get to ... off the Mackay bridge. Highly recommend. Was super busy on a Thurs night but staff were friendly and attentive. Read more

We just had dinner as a family at Parkside and gosh, what a great time we had! The food was delicious - everything from the tater tots to the pulled pork and strawberry lemonade! The highlight for me was the smoked wings with Jack Daniels sauce we had as an ... appetizer… best wings I’ve eaten, hands down! My husband loved his ribs. And the portions were huge - we have enough left for lunch tomorrow! Thank you as well to our waitress - unfortunately I did not catch her name - for being so kind, funny and attentive! If we come back to Halifax we’ll eat there again for sure! ☺️ Read more
