Northside Welcomes The Park Diner

You might recognize this space as Park Chili, which went out of business during the COVID years. Not wanting to see an historic part of the neighborhood go to waste, Allee Thompson and husband Kevin "Pogo" Curtis reopened the space this year after a long struggle with contractors, health inspectors, and the like. But the wait was worth it - try their fabulous Korean-style potato salad, the "LGBT" - a BLT with guacamole, or the vegan Sloppy Joe. Be sure to check out this friendly and welcoming neighborhood joint!
