About The Parkway Tavern

If you’re looking for a place that instantly feels familiar yet still manages to stand out, The Parkway Tavern is one of those spots I genuinely enjoy introducing to people. Located at 982 High House Rd, Cary, NC 27513, this restaurant has a relaxed, welcoming energy that makes it easy to settle in, whether you’re dropping by after work or planning a casual night out. The Parkway Tavern balances that neighborhood tavern feel with a polished restaurant vibe, so it works just as well for a laid-back dinner as it does for meeting friends over drinks. One of the first things people notice is how flexible the experience can be, thanks to service options like dine-in, takeaway, kerbside pickup, delivery, and even outdoor seating when the weather cooperates. The menu leans comfortably into crowd-pleasing territory, offering comforting food that pairs perfectly with their strong drink selection. From cold beer and well-made cocktails to wine, spirits, and even coffee, there’s something here no matter what you’re in the mood for. Happy-hour drinks and happy-hour food make it an easy choice for those early evening plans, while late-night food and quick bites keep the energy going later on. I like how the atmosphere never feels rushed; instead, it invites you to hang out, talk, and enjoy the moment. Alcohol options are thoughtfully curated, but they don’t overpower the food-forward identity of the place. Everything feels approachable, from the menu to the overall setting, which is probably why The Parkway Tavern has become a go-to for locals and visitors alike. It’s the kind of restaurant where conversations flow easily, plates arrive with familiar flavors, and the experience feels comfortable without being boring.

I will definitely be back to try other menu options, just not the Ruben the bread was way too hard, very skimpy on sauerkraut and dressing. Other than that everything else was great. Burger cooked perfect. The appetizers are great. Mac and cheese looked like Kraft and drinks were great. On another note they have televisions everywhere and if possible will accommodate seating towards your teams game if possible.

Just had Parkway Tavern for the first time and it was AMAZING. I can’t name a better bar in the area who does it better in all aspects - food, drinks, service, vibe - you name it. We ordered the steak quesadilla, bacon cheese fries, wings, and the mac&cheese and all of them were worth writing home over. Very glad to have come across this hidden gem, especially heading into football season. 10/10 will be back very soon

Good food. Enjoy the loaded cheese fries appetizer and blackened chicken sandwich. My only wish is if they would have a better selection of IPA beers on draft. Seems they experiment with too many new beers versus regular best selling IPAs like Mountain Candy, Two Hearted, Pernicious, Maine Lunch, Hop Drop and Roll, Tropical Lighting, etc…

What a nice place to eat... The Chef's Special Burger Was just a little bit soggy when I got to it. The deep fried pickles were a nice touch. The French fries need a bit of work. That will come with time, patience, and experience. Youy half-and-half sweet tea was excellent.

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.

Got some take out from Parkway Tavern a while ago. They’ve got a good assortment of options. I got the Rueben Eggrolls, which were outstanding. Taste just like a Rueben sandwich only a different take on it. I got the Sunshine Chicken Wrap, which the pineapple mango salsa, really set it apart. Also definitely worth a try. I got the Chimichurri sandwich, this one was good, not great, but if you are into chimichurri I wouldn’t say don’t get it. I got the Quesadillas, which were really tasty. Lastly I got the Blackened Blue Burger, which was mediocre. Probably my least favorite out of the lot, it just didn’t have as much flavor to it then I thought it would. The sides I got were the fried onion strings, which were good, the pesto pasta salad, which was alright and the fresh home fries which were that great. I would still recommend going here.
