    Jambalaya
    Rick J.

    What great service, food and atmosphere. We stopped for lunch. The GM couldn't be more accommodating. We each had the po boys with hand cut fries They even accommodated a special request for crawfish. It was so good we came back for dinner. Our server/bartender (they were down a person) was incredible. And nice guy. The jambalaya was one of the best I've ever had.

    Shrimp po boy, served on fresh roll with lettuce, tomato, and mayo, with a side of Cajun fries

    Great find in Downtown Albany. I loved the atmosphere although I didn't even stay for the live music. The menu was varied and I will be back to try more! I got the shrimp po boy which was fresh and light, especially for being fried, along with the Cajun fries with just enough spice! Delicious and cool atmosphere gets Parish Public House 5 stars.

    Fried chicken sandwich and fries.

    The fried chicken sandwich here is very good, but the main attraction for me during my visit was the fries. Seasoned to perfection and with just the right amount of crisp and crunch. I could eat an entire entree of just their fries.

    I met a fellow who had recently moved to Albany from New Orleans. Let's call him JC. Somehow, as we were talking, the conversation swung around to food. One thing leads to another, and soon he's telling me his secret. JC had discovered that Parish Public House was importing its po boy rolls from Louisiana. He said to skip everything else except the shrimp po boy. And that, he insisted, I would need to order with double shrimp. This is the kind of precise recommendation one needs to navigate the landmines of large menus pervasive in the Capital Region. The menus are too damn long. But that's a rant for another day. So as soon as I'm able, I head down to Parish Public House for a half shrimp po boy with extra shrimp. And you know what? It was a fine sandwich. Truth be told, I'm not a po boy expert. The last one I had was over a decade ago, and that was in California. It's been over 20 years since I've been in New Orleans. And I don't think the po boy is supposed to really be a show stopper of a sandwich. It's cheap fried seafood, shoved in a cheap roll. They were truly once the food of the poor. It was certainly unimpeachable. And with double shrimp, the shrimp were literally overflowing. The place was certainly good enough to return, although on my second visit, I was on some stupid diet. No fried foods for me. So I went with the blackened catfish sandwich with cajun slaw instead of chips, and the mayo for the sandwich on the side. And again, while the food didn't send me into ecstatic fits, it was perfectly fine. Maybe the spice rub was a bit salty, but I love salt, so I didn't mind. I'm an old man, so everything is starting to feel expensive. But for a sit down restaurant meal in downtown Albany, lunch was perfectly reasonable. There is a very real possibility that the double-shrimp po boy is a 4* or even 5* version of the form. If you're a po boy expert like my friend JC, I'm really curious to see what you think. And I'll look forward to getting back down there for another one, maybe in the company of JC himself when the diet is over. In the meantime, should someone suggest lunch at PPH, I'd be fine with that. I'd totally get that blackened catfish sandwich again, and it would give me an excuse to try some more of their sides.

    Good beer!

    Nice ambiance. Restaurant has a bit of a New Orleans feel (complete with Abita on tap). Great location across for SUNY administrative building. Large portions...couldn't finish my shrimp etouffee. Daughters burger was huge. Everyone seemed to enjoy there meal. Friendly staff.

    Gumbo mmm good!
    John D.

    I love the Gumbo. Great food friendly staff and just real good Louisiana style food. The beer selection is extensive and include A great many regional craft brews and authentic New Orleans brews

    Fried chicken sandwich is off the hook. I love this place it's a welcomed change from the pizza and overpriced overcooked burgers. This place was good as red square but is great as the Parish Public house.
