We tried City Park for lunch and it was fun, easy, and good food. The outdoor seating even on a winter day was nice; they have heaters and the sun was streaming in to warm us up. I wouldn't come here when it's below 40 degrees, but anything above with the heaters on would feel nice. We ordered a burger, tots, city park taco, street corn taco, and street corn. All of the food was good, but we were surprised to find the street corn/elote was like a cold corn dip - which is fine, we just expected it to be warm. The brisket taco was very good, and the burger was perfect for our picky eater. We were a little confused on ordering drinks, but the ladies working were very sweet. The blue building on the side is for ordering drinks - would recommend a sign there to help others. I imagine this could be a very busy place in the summer, there was a set of grandparents letting their grandkids run around when we were there, too. I hope they fill the place up with plants in the summer, it would be gorgeous.
My only suggestion, if at all possible, would be to have a connecting path from the bike trail here. It was a nice day so we walked from a park to here, and had to loop around on the sidewalk to get over. It wasn't a big deal, but I bet this place would be popular with cyclists if there was an...
Read moreThis is my new favorite spot in town! We love we can hang outside, bring the dog, and let our kids play in the yard. Not to mention the trail access, and that they have the best burger in Fayetteville!
One note is this isn’t your typical sit and down and expect to be served type of place. You place your own order via QR code menus and runners bring out the food ( it’s fast! ). You get your own drinks from the bar or service fountain. It’s a park! We love this approach because we can order one thing at a time and eat slowly while enjoying the outdoors. We don’t feel rushed by a waiter and we can order stuff exactly when we are ready. We wish more restaurants took this approach.
The food is incredible and a really great value. You have to try their smash burger, but the rice bowls are our favorite healthy option. Sides are great and fun to share.
The drinks are awesome. You can get a bucket of beers for like $10, the frozen margs are the best in town, canned Gatorades, fun mocktails, and my personal favorite is the club special ( vodka, fresh lime juice, topo chico).
Finally, it’s all about the ambiance and vibe. When the place is busy, it’s buzzing with excitement and energy. It’s sure to be one Fayetteville’s...
Read moreI’m glad to have a place like this in Fayetteville! We are locals and there are few restaurants here where I feel comfortable bringing my young kids. The space is very casual and there is a section out back where kids can run around . They also don’t mind f you bring in toys for kids to play with. All the servers we encountered were friendly and helpful- I especially appreciated their kindness when we dropped a full cup of water on the floor during a busy Friday night. Food is good and affordable . This is a great place if you need to meet with a bigger group of people. Everyone can order online separately. There are also lots of seating options. And yes, if you go on a Friday night it’s busy, loud, and crowded , but that’s to be expected. It might be an overstimulating environment for some personalities and to that end I would recommend headphones for kiddos...
