I had the pleasure of being served by the most amazing bartender in the world at the Parkway Tavern last night. She was so sweet and caring, and she really went the extra mile to make sure I had a great experience. She was always on top of my drink orders and she made sure I had everything I needed. She was also very knowledgeable about the menu and was able to recommend some great dishes. I would highly recommend the Parkway Tavern to anyone looking for a great night out and great food. But be sure to ask for Larissa. She is the best bartender in the world and she will make sure you have a wonderful time!

The waitress was very friendly and recommended the burger to me and boy was she right. The cheeseburger was so scrumptious and juicy and the fries were seasoned so perfectly. The way I like them. This is one of my new favorite burger places, now.

The food was amazing. Truly a hidden gem. If you get nothing else, GET THE ONION RINGS with ranch!! The BBQ burger was also great.

A good place to hang out with fun atmosphere. We have been waiting for it to be open since we saw the sign on Cary Parkway last year. The place doesn’t disappoint us. The location is convenient with plenty of parking spots, the staff are friendly, the food is good and the price is decent — no kid’s menu yet but they offer grilled cheese as seen in the picture. We have been there quite a few times since we live nearby and we’ve always enjoyed everything we’ve ordered. There are two dartboards and a few games available. There is also an ATM. There are TVs for sports and news as well. Recommended.

Parkway Tavern is a feel-good bar in Cary with a sneakily great menu. It’s true what they say about their burger - it’s the best in the area. But I wanted to try out something different this time. So I got a chicken sandwich with a side of pasta in a light pesto blend... hit the spot Bartenders are fantastic and you could also shoot some darts, commandeer the jukebox, sing karaoke and, of course, catch all your local sports games. What’s not to love?

A Place to Enjoy and Stay This is an ideal place to relax and enjoy. From the moment we arrived, we loved the atmosphere: modern decor and a unique touch that invites you to stay longer than planned. The food was delicious, and the drinks were truly spectacular. Not only do they offer a wide variety, but each one is carefully crafted and impeccably presented. The staff was very friendly and attentive, which made our experience even better. It’s the perfect spot to visit with friends, as a couple, or even alone if you’re looking for a pleasant and unique experience. I will definitely come back. Highly recommended! Rating:

We were happy to find this bar open Easter Sunday evening after attending the Hurricanes game. We were fortunate to have Emma behind the bar who was a true joy! She confirmed our food choices were both great, and she was right! We enjoyed a French dip and chicken tenders with onion rings. Emma was not terribly busy and we talked with her quite extensively. She maintained her bar duties during our conversation and didn’t miss a beat tending to numerous take-out orders. We loved the cozy feel of the bar, and Emma welcomed us from the moment we walked in. She is a true asset to Parkway Tavern, and we will certainly return when we’re in the area again. Two thumbs up!

Probably due to what I ordered, but it seemed things were too spicy for me. BBQ Burger was EXCELLENT, but the sauce was spicy. I LOVED the fried Onion Strings, but I thought they were too spicy. I will return to try other things!
