Bre took great care of my friend and me during our catch-up lunch. This was my first time trying Parish, and it did not disappoint. Portions were a bit on the smaller side, but everything was really tasty. We started with the crab claws and Parish pickles for appetizers, then both got the salmon salad. Total was $64.80 plus tip. Loved the ambiance. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, and you can even sit at the bar inside if that's your vibe. I'd definitely come back to try more from the menu! read more

My experience started off a little rocky, but they made up for it abundantly. It took a moment to be served after I received my water, but after that my experience improved. Jarvis was amazing! He madebme a delicious blackberry mocktail. I started with the crab claws, which were delicious but I feel like they should be served with bread. The pasta was very flavokfuk. My only feedback is the bread was a tad too salty, which I told the chef when he greeted us. The chef was very nice and that was an awesome touch. The decor is super cute and New Orleans themed. They even have a Saints sign inside. I enjoyed my meal and will be back to try more of the menu. read more

Parish on Cherry - Entrance to Parish - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Macon, Georgia

Blair was our server. He was very polite and attentive. NOLA lemonade 4/10 Really watery and not really lemonade flavored. Strawberry was fine in it. Alcohol didn't blend well. Fried green tomatoes 10/10 Can taste that little bit of vinegar, and it probably helped break down the tomato so it wasn't so hard, which was nice. Cook was a perfect al dente. Batter was good and crunchy. Remoulade was slightly spicy but really good flavor and the perfect amount to cover each tomato. Shrimp and grits 10/10 It's award winning for a reason. Shrimp cooked perfectly. The tails were also de-shelled which was a plus. Grits were good, creamy and a little bit cheesy. Andouille sausage was spicy and had good flavor. Sauce was delicious, seasoned well. Fried shrimp Po boy 10/10 Very yummy. Shrimp was cooked perfect and a good fry on the batter. Remoulade delicious. French fries were good too. read more

A toast to Parish! We wanted to grab a bite b/f going to a NYE house party. How many places did we pop into to attempt that? * Hotel 45 Rooftop Bar - closed at 8 pm for private party * Braddocks * Rookery All needed reservations, no walk-ins. Parish is innovative in that they only take a certain number of reservations & then leave room for walk-ins. One of their bartenders shared that fun fact with us b/c we are so THRILLED that they had space at for us & were curious how we got to be so lucky. Their burger hit the spot & my friend filled up on their hearty red beans & rice. We both started out w/ a NYE adult beverage to get the party started...which we then continued on at a house party. Props for the spectacular customer service on one of the busiest nights of the year! read more

we were extremely happy with our first time here at this downtown staple. after hearing many great things, we were not disappointed! we were seated right away, the inside was nicely decorated, and Aubrey our server was attentive and friendly. our food was delicious. we loved the frog legs and the egg rolls for apps. my braised short rib - tendernism!!!! it was also nice that the manager introduced himself to us and conversed with us (which i always believe is a an excellent indictor of a restaurant that genuinely wants to make sure that you are having a good meal). over all, this was a great spot. very excited to bring our out of state guests here. read more

Went to Parish on a Friday night and had a great overall experience. We were seated right away and chose to sit outside to enjoy the live music, which added a nice touch to the evening. The service was solid friendly and attentive. We started with the gator bites, which were tasty, though just a bit on the salty side. For the main course, I had the grilled fish po' boy, and it was flavorful and well-cooked. I opted for red beans and rice instead of fries, but unfortunately, that was the one letdown of the night. The rice wasn't fully cooked in parts, which threw it off. Other than that, the meal and atmosphere were really enjoyable. I'd definitely go back just will skip the red beans and rice next time. read more

Staff was great. Atmosphere/decor really nice. Now the food. Drinks are fine. Gumbo should be a bowl of gumbo with a scoop of rice, not a bowl of rice with a ladle of gumbo. Hard to rate the flavor since it was totally overridden by the rice. Same, unfortunately for the sausage jambalaya. not so much the rice, but the Kroger quality andouille sausage was really disappointing. Red beans and rice, same andouille sausage problem. Shrimp and grits - outstanding. I think it was a special, but clearly the best entree we had. read more

We had a reservation for 5:15 with a group of 8. Knowing if we went later it would be hard to manage the table. We ordered food after drinks by 5:45. We waited and waited for food. When it was finally delivered, an hour later the food was not hot. I was so disappointed, I have had previous great food and service. I brought my family this time to share good food for a pre-Christmas dinner. read more

A real Jem in Macon. I love the ambiance and the decorations here. The manager and owners really put a lot into this place and it's worth your time to eat here for the atmosphere and for live music. Bre is an amazing bartender. She pours heavy so come and ask for her. Happy hour is 9-10 PM so come in for a late party. The cajon egg rolls and the Macon Bacon is amazing! Be sure to check out the other creole menu items. Will come back again and again. read more

We try Parrish once every year or two, hoping it gets better. It doesn't. Hit or miss, usually a miss. Hard to enjoy an overpriced Benedict with an overcooked egg. Tough for kids to enjoy a cold grilled cheese after waiting for 30+ mins. Raised food issues with most recent server- he didn't care at all. We'll just stop going every year or two.... Also, weak drinks read more

Food was pretty good and the decor I love love. Husband mouth was watering for shrimp and grits. Grits were too soupy for him so he couldn't enjoy them. Same dish last July and no problem?.!! Now the ticket. This isn't the waitress fault she was good. When you owe me $68.68 but give me $68 I have a problem. First of all restaurants need to have change both bills and coins......point blank. Newsflash everyone does not use a card whether debit or credit. Personally as soon as I start using my card @ restaurants or a gas station I will get a fraudulent alert on my account.....and this has happened with different credit cards. The server says their register has no change so she had to go to the bar. Counted it and they gave $68 and if it's a thing you should have rounded up to $69. It is not the customer's fault or server that there is no change. Needless to say I normally carry change both coin and bills and was lacking yesterday but I will be aware next time of this ridiculous policy. read more

Early dinner while on vacation in Macon. I ordered tomato bisque and jambalaya. Soup was tasty but overpriced for the amount served. Jambalaya had lots of crawfish on a bid of seasoned rice but no other protein Being on a diet I was happy to eat mainly the crawdads and very little rice. My friend had a Caesar salad, red beans and rice, and banana foster rolls, all of which he deemed good Bill with tax and tip was $36. read more

Our first brunch in Macon so so good!. Came here after Church. Came in just in time before they for crazy. For the bottomless mimosas... I had the shrimp and grits... oh so decadent! My fiancé had the biscuits and gravy.... It was good but the portion size could have been bigger Oh get the beignets! They are a must! read more

We decided to have a nice brunch on Mother's Day weekend. It was our first time here & we had an amazing time. Food was amazing, I didn't get a photo of the Eggrolls but they were also really goood! Service was quick, so quick our food came out with the appetizers. And highly recommend sitting on the patio if there will be music that day. It was a great plus! read more

Overall, the food is okay, but worth a 3 hour wait? Absolutely not. Got there at 6:30, got sat at 7:50. Waitstaff/hostess were really kind, probably the best part of the dinner. Ordered, didn't get our food until 8:20. Gator bites (7/10): crispy, a little fishy, but I'm assuming from being an unfamiliar protein. Good sauce Shrimp and crawfish Cajun pasta (5/10): asked for no tomato, got tomatoes. Pasta was under seasoned in both the salt and Cajun seasoning. The bread wasn't toasted... crawfish was small and shrimp tasted freezer burned. Like I said previously, it seemed like a Louisiana themed restaurant. It was very casual with live music to the point where you can't hear your own convos. The manager came out and spoke with us about our orders being pushed back, which I appreciate the honesty yet still baffled by the fact that they pushed it back for a table that arrived after us. The fact it took basically an hour to get our only appetizer and then 20 more minutes on top of that hour to get our main dishes is appalling. I wouldn't recommend going here and probably wouldn't revisit unless they changed their food management and adjusted recipes. read more

The food is decent, prices are decent, drinks are decent, and the vibe is decent. However, it's hard to find an actual reason to go here past trying it out. I don't regret going, but I won't go back. There's substantial homeless outside, burning plastic and doing heroin, but that's just Macon. The one thing that genuinely surprised me is that the employees are hitting their vapes, although they are pretty friendly! read more

Best Crab Cakes ever with awesome side remoulade. The Macon's Bacon was very good as well also, with a tasty side peach pepper jelly. The Hurricane drink was bad as was the Rum and ginger beer drink. Waitress was very kind and attentive as were the hostess and the other staff. I would definitely go back to eat but just get a PBR. read more

Love this place! Food, drinks, staff, guests and music all the best! Wish they listed band schedule. I would be there more often. Know it's every night but everyone likes different types of music. See you again soon! read more

Absolutely amazing experience! Food was awesome and the service was excellent! We ordered the Macon's Bacon and Crab Claw appetizers and both were delicious! The Spicy peach preserves were amazing on the candied bacon! For dinner around the table all dishes got huge thumbs up! Seafood Cajun Pasta, Shrimp and Grits, the Boucoup Crab Boil, and kids grilled whitefish were all super tasty! The crab was boiled perfectly. So often you go places where it is overcooked and it doesn't pull out of the shell easily. Not the case here! Will definitely come back when visiting family in Macon again! read more

I'll be honest, I have not been impressed both times I have been here. The first time I was of course excited to try something different and my husband was excited to have some seafood. I personally don't eat seafood so I ordered the chicken cajun pasta. Nothing spectacular. Nothing memorable. The second trip I was with my mom. Once we were seated, no one acknowledged us. Several severs came by our table but no one came by to get our drink orders or food orders. We sat there for a good 20 minutes before we got up and walked out. read more

I was a bit skeptical because it looks dirty from outside. It's not dirty at all. The service and food was stellar. We had a party of 8. They were out of a lot of beers. We had all then appetizers! The egg rolls and Mac n cheese bites were the table favorites. Everyone got either the low country boil or the shrimp and grits! We have been back 6 times. We are here for work and have ate her one a week. Do yourself a favor and don't miss out on this spot. They also have live music! read more

Went to the Macon Christmas light display, could not get into another restaurant so we decided to go to Parish. Our meal was so delicious, we shared the crab cakes and a shrimp basket. The crab cakes were big and very tasty. The shrimp were large, sweet, with a very nice fried crust.... The fries were well seasoned. The star of the show was the raspberry and custard filled beignets.... Do not skip the beignets !! read more

The food here is AMAZING!!!! My hubby and I tried the Cajun pasta, Cajun rolls, crab cakes and whitefish PoBoy!!! They were all excellent and full of flavor. The crab cakes were light and full of crab meat instead of the regular bread-y types. Their house remoulade dipping sauce is sooo, soo good. The Cajun pasta was amazing, so savory and cheesy. The whitefish PoBoy was outstanding and fried to perfection. My Cajun Rolls were so crispy and delicious! The ambience there was beautiful. Our server Eva, was sweet and accommodating. She was patient with any questions or requests we had. We are DEFINITELY coming back to this restaurant. This place deserves 20 STARS! We highly recommend this place! read more

Love eating there . The people are so nice and love the burger and mussels my favorites

Tasteless gumbo with one chunk of chicken, no sausage and no seasoning. Shrimp poboy was very meh. 5 tiny pieces of shrimp. On a hot dog bun rather than a crusty roll. Okra was obviously frozen and poorly fried, and mushy. And we were told the jambalaya came already made in premeasured portions, so ... frozen? Bags? Gross Not recommended at all read more

Just stopped in on a Thursday evening to listen to the live music and have a beer. I like the location, and the music was great. The patio seating was nice, especially for the great weather. I thought the service was pretty marginal at best. Maybe it's because we didn't order food? I don't know. There weren't many people inside, or even outside for that matter, so it's not because they were slammed. When someone lit up a joint two tables over, it was time to go. read more

Wonderful St Thomas crab claws.. plenty for two people!! We had the best grilled cheese samich ever. Cheese of course.. but tomato with bacon and grilled onions. Our bartender is great.. Bree.. we will def come back and recommend. read more

Seating is fully outside, as a major renovation is ongoing. Started with sweet tea. The server was very nice, and friendly in a bubbly way. My Friend had Shrimp and Grits, and I had The Shrimp plate with cheese grits instead of the fries. We split the fried green tomato appetizer, which was 5 slices of breaded fried tomato. $1 per slice... Overall nice presentation, and the food arrived fairly quick and hot. Bill was $50 read more
