    Parker Vodka Cream
    Jessica F.

    Not too busy for a Saturday night. Not too loud and the inside is updated, modern. Started with the steak and cheese egg rolls, pretty good! Good size for an app, comes with two egg rolls. I ended up getting the Parker vodka cream pasta dish, wish it had protein in it other than prosciutto. Was a good bite but I'd try something else next time. The coolest part about this place it's two restaurants in one, one is the bar and sit down dinning. Then there's the beer tap and personal pizzas in the front. Both great places to chat and dine

    French dip with onion rings
    Missy A.

    Stopped in for dinner with a friend. The restaurant is so beautiful. I love how there's an area where you can sit in a nice setting and have dinner, or you can sit in the bar area for a more relaxed setting. The bar area is beautiful as well. The bread they served with the white bean hummus was delicious! It's very different from anything else I've experienced. We ordered the Crispy chicken sandwich - spicy slaw, tomato, avocado, and provolone. With parmesan fries. Also, the French dip - daily roast, provolone, and horseradish cream. With onion rings. Everything was delicious!! Best fries and onion rings, hands down. The service was great! The gentleman behind the bar was very helpful and kind. Will definitely be returning.

    Turkey Club Sandwich
    Alex P.

    My family and I went to Parker on a Sunday as we received a text message that there would be free appetizers during football. My aunt called ahead to make sure that the appetizers would be served and the hostess indicated that they would be out. When we got to the restaurant, we were seated in the bar. Thinking the appetizers would be out soon, we ordered our entrees. I ordered a crispy chicken sandwich which was extremely juicy and tender! I also ordered Parmesan fries, which were packed with flavor and delicious. My fiancé ordered the Parker burger and Cajun fries, which he said was really good, although he said the fries could have packed a little more of a punch. My cousin ordered the Turkey club with Cajun fries, which he was really impressed with. Although, he also indicated that the fries needed some more flavor. Before our food came out, my aunt asked again about the free appetizers and the waitress said they would be out in the 4th quarter. But the free appetizers did not arrive until after 4th quarter was over and we all finished our meals, so we were all full and did not eat them when they finally arrived after we received our bill. Overall, I think Parker had great food and a good atmosphere but they need to update their advertisement to be more realistic. It seems like they are using free appetizers to entice customers and not fully committing to the promotion.

    Carrot cake with coconut and pecan and bourbon drink
    Liz H.

    Ok... First, allow me to explain that my husband and I go out with our friends and are basically critics at this point Unfortunately, this place had a too many missed opportunities. - Nobody at hostess stand or anywhere to be seen to greet. I had to venture into the dining room to find somebody to seat us -the lighting was terrible and almost had a depressing blue gray hue to it, not warm and comforting. It was too bright, and the electronic candles on the table were broken. -The menu was all over the place and the food was average. They serve bread only if asked, and it came with a cold dry hummus, which made no sense. Bread and hummus at a bar-like place? It just did not add up. -The bourbon drink was OK but it needed to have a solid ice cube, not to melt as fast, which is a staple to any bourbon drink -The carrot cake itself was good, but the frosting was not cream cheese frosting, which destroyed the whole thing. -The pencil cup to mark your salad remind me of a sushi restaurant not of a dynamic experience that was a little hacks.. but I guess it would be good for lunchtime On a good note , the entire staff was very kind and attempted and knowledgeable. The sides the lighting the place was cute. Not the most original, but it did the job. this place has potential, but needs a better menu and better lighting for sure !...the parking is great. The staff was wonderful.

    Short rib dinner with butternut squash hash.
    Robert V.

    Received an offer for extended happy hour prices so my wife and I headed over to Parker. It's always a great atmosphere and the food was excellent. We spilt a Short rib Mac and Cheese app, I had the Parker Burger and my wife and the short rib dinner with a butternut squash hash. Food was perfectly cooked, tasted great . And service was prompt. We sat at the bar and the bartender was wonderful, helpful and took great care of us. We will be back. Back tonight, had the filet, duck and the Banana Custard. Awesome once again.

    After dining several times at the Westport restaurant, I decided to give this one a try and I was pleased to see it did not disappoint. This restaurant has a dining area and a bar area with plenty of tables at both. To start they serve you some toasted bread with hummus which is delicious. A nice start to the meal. In our case we chose not to have any apps although they have plenty of options. I had the ribs and my girlfriend had the duck breast. Both of our meals were cooked perfectly. My ribs fell off the bone and were packed with plenty of flavor. It was served with onion rings which were ok, not necessarily the best choice. The duck was delicious as well. A nice sized portion packing plenty of flavor as well. The service was excellent, attentive but not overbearing. We really liked the place and look forward to going back to try other items as well.

    Meatloaf
    Richie A.

    We were doing work around the house all day and we had planned on cooking this night but when everything was all done we were too tired. My partner said let's go here because it's been several years since we've been here. We were immediately seated when we arrived. We both started off with a glass of wine and we skipped appetizers. Brian, our waiter brought focaccia and white bean dip to start off. The focaccia was good, and the white bean dip was tasty. My partner decided on the rigatoni and I had the meatloaf, you know me I have to try meatloaf everywhere I go. He liked the rigatoni. I thought the meatloaf was very tasty. It was a huge portion. The only thing we wish is if they had a few more selections on the menu. The menu looked about the same since the last time we were there. But, this is our third time here and the food has always been consistently good.

    Pear salad
    Gale K.

    Been on the road for work for the last 6 months and I still have 2 more months before I can go home. It's to the point where I'm never quite sure of the state or city I'm in. That being written, I found myself in Connecticut on an overcast Sunday afternoon and I was hungry. After perusing YELP for ideas, I finally decided on this place after reviewing their menu. The venue is in a mini mall and most of the places seemed closed. I got there just as it opened - 4 pm and was offered a seat in the bar area or the dining room. Hardwood floors, wooden tables and metal chairs set a very cozy and casual tone. Large windows supplied ambient light from outside on this cloudy day. My server took my drink order and asked if I wanted bread. I did. The bread was warm and was delivered with a spread of white beans and both were delicious and welcomed since I was hungry. I ordered a pear salad to accompany my entree of meatloaf and mash. The pear salad was a delightful mix of varietal lettuces, walnuts and slivers of pear dressed with a vinaigrette. The dressing was a bit vinegary for my taste, but the salad was otherwise quite good and paired well the the meatloaf. THE MEATLOAF! This was the most elegant and delicious meatloaf I've ever had at a restaurant. It was covered with a savory and much elevated brown gravy full of mushrooms and on a bed of perfectly creamed mashed potatoes. About a tablespoon more of potato would have gotten me to the end of the meal with an equal amount of meat and potato. That is my ONLY complaint about this entree. This dish will remain with me as my "go to" comparison for meat loaf. I absolutely loved it - seasoned perfectly, a perfect portion (except for the potatoes ) and the gravy/sauce deserves its' own rave! Often, with meatloaf, one finds inedible pieces of gristle, but not this one. I had the perfect slices. I decided to go for dessert and opted for the Key Lime pie. Sorry, but no raves for it. The pudding part had undissolved granulated sugar bits which I found off putting. I could not finish it. However, my overall experience experience here was very good. My server was attentive and offered to get me another dessert but I declined because I was about to be full at this point. If you are ever in the area and like meatloaf, I highly recommend the one served here. If I were here longer, I would return to try other menu items.

    We ordered to go. It was my first experience with this location but I love the Trumbull one. I got the bacon burger and my dad got the fish and chips sandwich. We both enjoyed our food. I thought the burger, as always was great. I was afraid that this location would not serve the tasty burgers I love and crave at the Trumbull location but mine was very good and they cooked it medium which is what I asked for. Way to go! Fish and chips which I tried were a teensy bit of a letdown. My dad liked but did not love it and I'd have to agree. Still Parker though! This establishment makes the best Burgers in Connecticut and I am not exaggerating. Both my dad and I agree and as for my friends, the ones who I have taken here love the burgers as well. But like I said, that is the Trumbull one. I did not see a difference in taste of the burgers which reassures me about the Shelton one and now I am eager to come here and see the inside.

    Sea bass
    Patricia G.

    After a hard time of finding a restaurant with a 4 course meal, I was recommended i come here. We were extremely surprised when driving up to the location on a Friday night that it wasn't crowded at all. We were the only people in the dining area. But because of that, it was more intimate. Our waiter saw us walking up, and had the door open ready for us which was nice. He was very attentive, direct, and nice to us. I only had one major issue and that was the drink i ordered. I got a pear refresher and my husband got an apple margarita. I was expecting the refresher to be refreshing but that was silly of me. even my husband didn't like it. It tasted watered down and too much like alcohol. I asked to order an apple margarita as well and was very thankful that they took it off the bill. I ordered the 4 course meal for myself which consisted of the bruschetta, wedge salad, sea bass, and raspberry ice cream with a lava cake. The bruschetta was delicious. The wedge salad was very good. My waiter said the sea bass was a new item and for it being new, it was cooked very nicely. Seasoned perfectly, crusted nicely, and although I had maybe 2 chewy pieces, it was still very delicious. I just wish there were a bit more tarter. My husband got the prime rib and that was SO delicious the Au ju made it soo good. My dessert was okay. The chocolate cake would not have been palatable without the ice cream though, and my husband agreed. Although because the cake was super moist, dense, and rich, it was almost too rich and gave an almost dry taste to it. It was still delicious but the texture was just all wrong. although when we come back, I will definitely order that peanut butter pie if nothing else catches my eye. My husband ordered it and it was absolute perfection. It wasn't too peanut buttery and the texture was spot on. Over all our experience was very great, and our waiter Bryan was very good. We will be back in the future.

    Still great in 2025!…read more Had the jamming burger specials with the yummy jammified onions and they satisfied the burger craving without fault. The pretzel bites were also salty and bready nuggets of deliciousness. Service was great and friendly! It doesn't have a particularly great look outside or inside (mostly a bar with some tall tables and several large screen tvs) but they are consistently good with their flavorful offerings, which is what matters most.

The restaurant wasn't busy so we sat at the bar to watch football. We ordered wings and the special tacos of the day which were eye of the round tomatillo tacos with pico. We get the buffalo sauce and cajun dry rub on our wings which were 5 stars. The tacos not so much. For $15 the three tacos were tiny, 3 pieces of eye of the round on two tacos, 4 on third. The pico was tomatoes with a tiny piece of jalapeno and onion in water, weird. The tomatillo sauce was ok, but not the best. We LOVE this place but these tacos missed the mark. Service was good. At the end, Lauren took over. She was friendly and introduced herself to us and others at the bar. She mostly cashed us out, but we liked her friendliness. Go with confidence, it's a great local bar/restaurant with good, friendly service.
