THE FOOD WAS PHENOMENAL, the price was reasonable and the staff was amazing. If you’re thinking of going to Olive Garden. RECONSIDER, this place was 10x better.

New to the area and my wife’s birthday I chose to come here and it was the best decision!!! Food was amazing, big portions and the drinks were ice cold and mixed really well! Bigger shout out to Shawn! He made the experience perfect! His knowledge of the menu and his preferred choices is what we went with and I’m glad we did! The rodeo burger was amazing and the boom boom shrimp wrap was a 10 out of 10! Thank you Shawn for making our experience A1. We will be coming back and hoping to see you there!

We ordered a small sausage and mushroom thin-crust pizza, expecting some crispness. Unfortunately, the crust was the biggest letdown — very soggy, with no crunch at all. Their “thin crust” was closer to a medium or even thick crust. On the plus side, the toppings were plentiful and had good flavor.
We also tried their Mom’s fried chicken, which came out very dry, overcooked, and lacking in flavor. We were hoping for a homemade-style chicken, but it clearly missed the mark. Our side was spaghetti, which was supposed to include meatballs, but none were served. The pasta itself was cooked well, and the sauce had good flavor — easily the highlight of the meal.
In short, we weren’t extremely disappointed, but we did leave somewhat underwhelmed. There were some bright spots, but overall, the food didn’t live up to expectations.

Had dinner. Great food. Reasonable price. Meatball appetizer was outstanding. Fried chicken good but had better. Small pieces were dried out, they need to cook them at different times than the breast and thigh. Lasagna was outstanding.

Phenomenal food fish fry and apps were great. Aside from the great food the atmosphere was amazing. Great place for family night as well. The grinch was walking and around and my kids loved it. They were a little unsettled and hyper active, but once the grinch came out they were so focused on them and they were so excited. Truly a great experience. If you want good food and a great experience this is the spot. Keep up the great work we WILL be back for more.

It was my first time there they were really nice. The food was really really good. I got the side salad and the lasagna with nice warm Italian bread.. Lasagna was very good like homemade style. The side salad was very large and had a Nice mixture of cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, carrots, and fresh lettuce. The ranch has to be homemade.

WOW! First time visiting The Parks and let me say, it was NOT what I was expecting… where do I start, first; my wife and I were asked by our server if we would rather a high top or low top table ( might not seem like much, but to someone who just had surgery, a high top would not have been comfortable at ALL) Second, with the restaurant and bar being busy, our server Julie was ON TOP OF IT! Within minutes had not only our waters, but also two of the pecan old fashions that she had recommended. they were delicious, complements to the man tending bar! All the staff had smiles on their face, kind, helpful and in 2025 that matters. Lastly, our pizza rolls came out first as an APP, and wow were they amazing!!! Then without even asking Julie brought our son’s meal a few minutes before my wife and I. To us that is huge, so that way we can enjoy our time at the restaurant without a little hangry man. Then, our Italian beef sandwich and chicken george came out, and again beyond delicious (the Sam’s sauce is yumm) to top things off, with full stomachs, Julie told us about the different flavored cheese cakes they offer, and WOW that cherry crisp cheesecake was unbelievable, our whole experience was just that, UNBELIEVABLY awesome!!! We will be back and telling our friends and family!
The whole experience was a 10 outta 10!! thank you to The Parks for an awesome night out, even with our little one!

We recently visited Cimino’s at The Parks for a work holiday party and had an absolutely delightful experience! Our server, Ashley, was friendly and attentive to our group’s needs. We ordered a bunch of items, from the wings to the Parmesan bites to lasagna to the monstrous stuffed pizza. Everything was delicious! A few minor issues like forgotton items with dishes, but fixable by our server. Their prices are reasonable for the quality and portion sizes you receive. Overall, The Parks is going to be a gem in the Stateline’s dining scene, and I can’t wait to visit again!

Ordered the Caprese salad and it was served with regular garden tomatoes instead of Roma tomatoes.
We also ordered the calzones and the crust was so thick my it was hard to enjoy. I took the top of the calzone off and just ate the fillings with the bottom crust. Very big portions of all.

I must say, I now have a top 3 pizzas in the area. I ordered a hand tossed, sausage and mushroom pizza and I was shocked how good these guys are. The sausage had some bite, a nice smokey flavor, the sauce was not acidic and had a great flavor. They didn’t at all skimp on toppings either..i swear the pizza was 1.5 inches thick and weighed 5 lbs..After Three slices I was ready for a 6 pm nap. very impressed and I want to check out more on their menu. A great Pizza!

I’ve eaten twice here now since a friend told me about it. I had the lasagna, which is sooo good and definitely had enough for a second meal! The 2nd time I had the thin Primo pizza and oh my! The thin crust is perfectly crispy and the sauce is delish, nicely on the sweet side which is my favorite. I think the pizza is my new favorite!
