Best seafood restaurant anywhere around Memphis. Good staff and the place is just amazing.

The Parish is phenomenal! Wonderful service, ambiance, and the food is scrumptious!!! Definitely my favorite!!

Great food, great service and great menu. I recommend it highly. We go here at least once a month.

Server was very friendly and the service was excellent. The fried shrimp and corn tasted really good and the salad was big enough for two.

We are from New Orleans. The food was excellent, almost thought we were back home. Every dish was up to expectations. I'm going back.

Great restaurant. Came with a group of nine and were split into one group of 4 and one group of 5. Service was efficient. Ordered a dozen raw oysters, two pitchers of beer, and my main entree was the grouper and grits entree. The food itself was phenomenal! Best place I've eaten at since visiting this area. read more

The Parish - Grouper and Grits - Live/Raw Food Near Me - Hernando, Mississippi

My server was so polite and attentive. The food was very fresh. Loved how the blackened grouper was not salty but flavorful. I will definitely come back again. There were lots of options on the menu and I loved that I could add grouper to my meal. read more

I was so excited to try this restaurant because I've heard everything about it from my dear parents. I was told that we needed to arrive no later than 4:30 due to how busy the restaurant becomes. Upon entering the restaurant we were seated immediately where our waitress immediately delivered a fresh loaf of bread and whipped butter and took our drink orders. We also all decided to order both the chargrilled oysters and the stuffed crawfish bread. Im not a big fan of oysters, but these were very tasty and the crawfish bread was amazing! When our drinks arrived my mother ordered the 2 piece fried grouper plate with their amazing crispy fries, I ordered the Gulf shrimp and grits and hubby ordered the crab stuffed grouper with green beans. The owner has fresh seafood flown in twice a week and Everything was OUTSTANDING and I....Mean....EVERYTHING including our service! After finishing our meals I usually don't order desserts, but my Mother insisted so we opted for the crème brûlée and the southern fried bananas foster cheesecake. Ohhhhh Lawdy I wanted to Slap My Mama lol. What a Wonderful way to end a delicious outstanding meal. I can't wait to try other items on the menu so I'll be back Very Soon! read more

Wonderful food, wonderful service. Always kind and the other night we carried our grandkids one of them got chocked (something we are used to because he sometimes has trouble). They didn't skip a beat, they got what we needed before we asked for it and the ones that knew what happened came by and made sure we did t need anything for him while his mom was outside with him. They are great!!!!! read more

My wife and I dine at the Parish often. We especially love the dozen oysters and dozen shrimp. I also recommend the crawfish bread, so good. This is a great place to eat! I highly recommend the Parish! read more

I ordered the blackened catfish lunch plate. The service and food were excellent. I will definitely come back.

What a great spot! Prompt, friendly, genuine service. The food was amazing! I had grouper and shrimp, and the others had boiled dinner and crab stuffed grouper. We all left happy and full with food left over. read more

Casual environment, GREAT FOOD. We love this place! The fried crab claws are hard to find away from the gulf. We're so fortunate to have an oyster bar close by!! Great lunch too. read more

The Parish was a last minute choice for my wife and me with another couple for dinner. None of us had been there before and we trusted the recommendation of a coworker of our friend and that trust was not misplaced! My wife and I shared some chargrilled oysters, some gumbo, and the blackened grouper dinner. Everything was outstanding but I have to say the gumbo was as good as any I've ever had! As always, my review would not be complete without a few words about the service. From the time we walked in the door the staff was outstanding. The hostess greeted us immediately, found our reservation and assured us we would be seated promptly. The owner passed by shortly after. He also greeted us and assured us we would be seated shortly! It wasn't a few minutes later we were headed to our table! Our waiter, Bryson, was friendly, knowledgeable, and paced our meal perfectly. Thanks Bryson! read more

This is my second review. I posted one along time ago before lunch was added. I love everything about this place. The service is awesome and friendly. The food is above expectations. Hernando is so lucky to have the Parish. My only complaint is they don't have the Crawfish Bread at lunch. lol. read more

Two things as I entered this business. I drove three hours before eating here. 1. Nice greeter at the hostess desk. Nice Gracie behind the bar. 2. Oyster shucker had head down on the bar. WTF? Ordered oysters but when I saw they were the size of a quarter I cancelled. Hated to bother the guy. Gracie was great. Brought me bread and butter. I ordered Ghost River Ale three times. Ordered crab claws. They came out hot and fresh. Two sauces to dip in. Really good beer, food, and ambience. I hated to see a slacker on the oyster bar but I guess that is what we have become. He will vote for Biden. read more

Absolute the best restaurant in Hernando hands-down. Hernando plenty of Mexican restaurants a couple, fast food, restaurants one rundown steakhouse. However, this place checks all the blocks. When I have people come from out of town to visit this is the the first place I'll take them. read more

Had the pleasure to had dinner here this past Friday night...great experience! The char-roiled oysters and the red deer chop special were outstanding. I highly recommend The Parish! read more

Amazing food! Should've took a picture of the gumbo, but I ate it too quick. definitely recommend the food!! read more

Great oysters conveniently located good service. Seafood dishes are pretty good as well

Service is great, the food was pretty par, but it was an all around enjoyable experience.

I've been going to the Parish for over a year now. In the beginning we were going every week until we tried everything. We have never had a bad meal. Being from the West Coast I'm picky about how my fish is cooked, Everything is always perfect here. I watch their Facebook page, and when I see something I just have to have, we head up for dinner. We usually try to get there early enough for Happy Hour. Them Buck A Shuck Oysters go down like a fat kid on a See-Saw. We usually start with a dozen of them, and another dozen off the grill. Usually a Cup of Gumbo. Make sure you get a lil loaf of there homemade bread to sop up the butter from the oysters. By the time we finish that all up, dinner is usually ready. We almost always have the specials. They have the greatest servers too. My Favorites are the Bartender if you are lucky enough to get her one table she does, and Liz. They are on top of everything! The Parish is one of the best place to eat in Mississippi. It's right up there with The Half Shel Oyster House way down in Biloxi. I can't pick a favorite. read more

The food was delicious. I had hamburger steak with potatoes and green beans!!! Fast service!

Food is great, service is great. If they serve hush puppies instead of bread, it be like home in Livingston Parish! read more

Try to be fancy place in Hernado. It's actually not bad at all but how can crab claws be bad?

Nice seafood restaurant in Hernando! It's nice to finally have something different in town. The food was very good, and the service was very attentive and fast. Crawfish bread appetizer was amazing. Good fried crab claws. Fried seafood platter was huge. The fried shrimp that came with it were incredible. Huge and plump! Already crowded at 5pm on a Wednesday so get here early! Hopefully they'll be able to expand the dining room in the future. Parking is tight and not super plentiful. Only thing missing is a waterfront view! read more

Very good po-boy here. Was a little cautious going into a strip mall location for lunch, but it had great recommendations. And I was not disappointed. Good portions, spiced well. Was not crazy about the wait staff, but the food was worth it. read more

This place is brand new and some kind of wonderful if you like oysters, shrimp, crawfish and fresh fish. All I can say is Wow. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff We have been there twice and can't wait to go back. They have beer only but will uncork a bottle of wine if you bring it. The appetizers will make you wiggle in your chair with happiness. Fresh raw oysters fresh chilled shrimp and all kinds of different things, wish I could remember the names, the loaf of bread covered with crawfish and cream cheese and all kinds of stuff in the warm loaf of bread, you really don't want to share, but alas you must. My husband loves the Gumbo. We get the special of the day and the chef is so creative and never disappoints. The chef also owns Juniors and we Hernando folks know how awesome that is. The restaurant is sparkling clean. People are lining up to get in when it opens. This place is a must try !!! It's a winner. Be sure to get the onion rings read more

The Parish - Restaurant front - Live/Raw Food Near Me - Hernando, Mississippi

This place is my favorite spot in the ENTIRE Memphis metro area. Try to Dozen and a Pound as an appetizer (dozen raw oysters, and a pound of cold shrimp)... then follow it up with the crab stuffed grouper. A winning combo. Cozy, casual, friendly. Great service every time. Try it. You won't be disappointed! read more

The food is always fresh and cooked to perfection. The service is quick and efficient! It's casual and friendly with a touch of the ocean.

The seafood gumbo, barbecue shrimp and crab stuffed grouper were delicious. I was surprised to find such good seafood with a lot of flavor in northern Mississippi. I definitely recommend this restaurant. read more

Amazing! Best Gumbo I have ever had. One restaurant I refer all of my friends to. We always have great service. read more

WONDERFUL food! Reminded us of our favorite place in Bon Secour near Gulf Shores - without the 5 hour drive! We had the fried crab claws and chargrilled oysters for appetizers. We shared an entree- the seafood platter with fried grouper, fried shrimp, fried oysters, and stuffed crab. This place is a treasure and I hesitate telling people, because I don't want them to make the wait too long! We got there at 5:00 and waited 25 min to be seated (which I thought was very reasonable). Literally every bite was a treat and delight! The dessert took a little long and they comped it, which I didn't expect at all! The server was so Southernly sweet and the place had a homey feeling. The owner came by and checked on us. I saw him chatting with other customers like we were in Mayberry. It made me want to move to Hernando! I would recommend this place higher than 100 on all points. I knew when I saw all the cars in front of this storefront type restaurant, we were in for a treat. For all who check the cleanliness before eating- The bathrooms were perfectly clean and even smelled like lemon with a faint clean bleachy smell. read more

The Parish - Chargrilled Oysters , Fried Crab Claws - Live/Raw Food Near Me - Hernando, Mississippi

Very disappointed Walked in at 9:15 pm on Saturday night and told immediately they were closed. Yelp shown kitchen open 48min to close ! What the heck it's Saturday night !! read more

Great seafood in Hernando MS. Wife and I arrived at 3:30 on Saturday afternoon, and were seated after about 45 minutes. Ordered crab claws and jumbo crab cakes for appetizers. Crab cakes were not very warm, and a smooth consistency. Was hoping for actual chunks of crab inside. Crab claws were hot, delicious, and plentiful. Remoulade dipping sauce was really good as well. We ordered shrimp dinner and Alaskan King Crab legs special for our mains. Be sure to finish appetizers before you order more because ours arrived within 5 minutes and we were still working on the apps. Both mains were delicious. You can order seafood broiled, fried, or blackened and there is also a selection of boiled seafoods at market price. Saw a beef filet special on menu as well, but we were there for seafood. Wife wanted the fried jumbo shrimp and she was not disappointed. Came with sides of fries and cole slaw. 1 1/2 lbs. of Alaskan King Crab Legs special came with sausage, corn, and potatoes. All were very good. Nice beer selection, and we were told you can bring your own bottled wine. No liquor currently. We enjoyed the food and experience. Dining room is spacious, with large 4 tops to allow for big plates of delicious seafood. read more
