Group: I tried having lunch at Parkway today. It's Wednesday and the special is the best Cuban sandwich in town IMHO. Unfortunately, they have abolished all specials and gotten rid of the good Chicago hot dogs as well. The bartender told me "we're so busy now that we don't need to run specials ...

The menu is very, very "modern" southern. It looks like a menu or two I've seen when visiting family in Atlanta. It sounds good. It would, if actually good, fill a niche in which I'm not sure we have many contenders.

I'm glad you had a good meal. BAM- are you actually sure they're open for lunch? I've tried twice and failed. No sign or anything, just chairs up on tables, etc.

If it's worth a third try up in Mid City I'll give it a go. I've just been fooled twice before.

I've had the mac on a stick. Surprisingly good. I ordered it a second time. Still good. Not something I'd do every day but once in a while?
