OUTSTANDING lunch at The Parish today! Food was excellent and service was outstanding! Very impressed and will definitely go back! we enjoyed the Parish Burger, Hushpuppies, & Cat Fish Very impressed read more

Ambiance is western saloon with a quirky feel. We got there at lunchtime so there's a 35 minute wait. We opted to seat at the bar instead of doing the wait outside. The bar tender was so nice, fast and quick with our drinks and in taking our order. We had the gumbo and a burger. Highly recommend both, the gumbo has a kick to it but if you want more they do offer a bottle of hot sauce. The hush puppies have chopped jalapeño on it so it's a nice kick to it as well. To wash it down we had one of there non-alcoholic Moscow mule and a pale ale. Parking is easily available. read more

Went here with my family for Father's Day. FYI: Their menu changes from time to time, and their prices have gone up, so don't expect everything to match what you've read in older online reviews. Food We were seated immediately because of our reservation, and the host promptly brought us tap waters. We don't drink tap water, so we asked for them to be taken back. We started with five Hush Puppies, which were very good. My husband ordered the Father's Day special: half a rack of ribs, fried macaroni topped with coleslaw, corn rattlers, and collard greens. The presentation was nice, but he kept finding small pieces of cartilage in the ribs that he had to spit out. The collard greens were very basic and lacked flavor. Honestly, canned GLORY Foods Seasoned Southern Style Collard Greens are much better. The fried macaroni, however, was excellent and everyone enjoyed it. Our daughter ordered the Drunken Angel. I've had it before, and it's excellent. She loved it and shared bites with the table. My mother-in-law ordered the Shrimp and Grits and enjoyed it. My father-in-law ordered the Catfish with fries. He finished the entire plate but repeatedly commented that he wished there was salt or vinegar available. In fact, everyone at the table felt their food needed salt--except me. I ordered the Smokin Angel, a vegetarian burgundy pasta with smoked tomato sauce, cherry tomatoes, spinach, and goat cheese. Unfortunately, it was overwhelmingly salty and dominated by poor-quality smoke flavor. I'm a home cook who regularly uses a smoker. To me, it tasted like the tomatoes were exposed to dirty gray smoke. Whether the fire wasn't burning properly, the temperature was too low, the smoker was opened too often, or too many items were cooked at once, the result was a harsh smoke flavor. I only managed a few bites before pushing the plate away. Our daughter finished the meal with bread pudding, which she enjoyed. Service This is where the experience really fell apart. The host who seated us was prompt, professional, and did an excellent job. Unfortunately, our waitress, Rainy, was inattentive, gruff, and disrespectful throughout the evening. It took 15-20 minutes just to get drink orders, another 10 minutes to receive them, and only then did she remove 4 of the 5 tap waters. Oddly, she left one water and an empty beer can directly in front of me where my plate would go and left them there for the entire meal. She also approached from behind several times and bumped into me repeatedly. We then waited another 15-20 minutes to place our food order and about 30 more minutes for the food to arrive. We also had to request additional utensils because the table wasn't fully prepared when we were seated. Another nearby table appeared deeply unhappy as well. We overheard them say it took 40 minutes just to get their drinks. When our food arrived, only 4 of the 5 meals were delivered. My mother-in-law had to wait several additional minutes for hers. To us, that's poor service and basic restaurant etiquette was missed. Later, when my mother-in-law requested to-go boxes, Rainy set a tall stack of boxes directly in front of me, bumping my chest, arm, and shoulder, then proceeded to explain how to package leftovers as though I weren't even a customer. I was genuinely shocked by the interaction. Everyone at our table commented throughout the evening that she was rude, unfriendly, dismissive, unprofessional, or disrespectful. My mother-in-law also asked for two bags, but Rainy ignored the request. Another waitress brought them in less than 30 seconds after being asked. Atmosphere The atmosphere itself remains pleasant, and we enjoyed spending time together as a family. However, some employees came across as rough around the edges, which detracted from the experience. Value No one at the table felt the prices matched the quality of the food or service. It was simply WAY too expensive for what we received. We've had Raymond as a server before, and he was great. This time we had Rainy, and she was awful. Honestly, I've decided I'll just make this type of food at home from now on, especially the Drunken Angel. The meal was not worth the price, the drive, the poor service, or the overall experience. What's most disappointing is that this restaurant used to be one of our favorites. Exactly one year ago, I left a five-star review because I genuinely loved it. Now, however, there seems to have been a noticeable decline in both service and quality. Even considering that it was Father's Day, too many negative things stacked up for five people to ignore. read more

Our fourth time here and it did not disappoint yet again. Raymond was our server and he was great at asking the right questions to then give us his recommendations based on our answers. His service was top notch! Ambiance is always cool. Our food was EXCELLENT once again! read more

Still love the place, the vibe is still outstanding as is the food. Sat at the bar today and the BT was very pleasant and provided amazing service. I started with an ice cold beer which was well appreciated on a day where temps hit 100 degrees. For sustenance I ordered a shrimp poboy, with remoulade instead of tartar sauce, with a cup of red beans and rice on the side. Both were delicious and quite filling. Also was impressed that the owner actually comes out and talks to his customers. He even recognized me, and I hadn't seen him since he owned The French Quarter way back in the day. lol I highly recommend this restaurant, hell I drove all the way from the other side of town just to eat there. read more

Four for dinner the other evening. They don't have a huge menu, but the selections are unusual (catfish, frog legs) and they are done so nicely. And the prices are not crazy, considering the quality of the food. I tried the catfish for the first time. It comes fish-fry style with more fries than I could possibly eat. The fish was perfectly breaded and fried, really enjoyed it. They have some nice pasta dishes which a couple of our guests ordered and really enjoyed. The service was good - our waitress got us our drinks and checked on us while we were having our entrees. The ambiance is a bit odd - kind of dark, velvet-backed seating, etc. I suppose to emulate the opulence of the French Quarter. Just be aware that it is not brightly lit. Great quality food at non-extortion prices. We will return regularly. read more

Hands down the best pasta I've ever had, no exaggeration. The drunken angel is creamy, savory and absolutely mouth watering. I'm still craving it. All the dishes we tried were so good. Our start of the charbroiled oysters was an amazing choice. They were perfectly flavored and served warm. The hush puppies were crispy but not dry, with a lil spice to them. My parents loved both their dishes as well! Highly recommend trying them if you make a visit to Tuscan! We were sat outside due to how busy it was (was still beautiful) but if you want inside come at an odd time of day or make a reservation. Our server was amazing too, very informative and attentive! Let us know all the specials and was very kind and warm! read more

The eclectic decor was the best thing about this place. My guy and I tried Guedry's Gumbo and added shrimp. We love gumbo normally, but this wasn't anything special. It was very peppery, heavy on the rice vs protein, and very unmemorable. The hush puppies it came with were really nicely cooked and had a good crisp to them. I enjoyed the gumbo only when dipping the hush puppies in them. For dessert, we tried the Pickle Berry Pie since we had never heard of anything like that before. Every bite was a punch of flavor and not in a good way. There was just too much going on and it became overwhelming after the 2nd or 3rd bite. Interesting to try, but I would not get it again nor recommend. This was the most expensive gumbo I've ever had and it was probably the least satisfying. Thankfully, I was not too hungry because I do not have high hopes for their other dishes. read more

I want to try their bread pudding. Others in my party had the seafood boil (Tuesday's only) and the beans and rice, has some nice spice and heat. read more

We've been maybe three times now on various Tucson visits & had a wonderful dinner this time. Great server, Raymond, knowledgeable & around when needed. Cute interior, fun cocktails. Happy hour 3pm-6pm. We got the roasted oysters but were disappointed in them. They were not like roasted oyster we had in NO. They had some kind of a spicy creamy sauce which just overtook the oysters. Just this cream of mushroom soup-like quality, barely taste the texture of the oysters. (Go with the raw). I had the rainbow trout which was perfection, very very good. Husband had the gumbo with shrimp & hush puppies & he loved his meal--excellent! I swapped him a hush puppy for one of my potato wedges, and they were one of the best I've had. Chopped jalapeño bits & very crispy exterior. read more

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at the parish. A tasty menu. Full of flavor and unique offerings. The muscles were outstanding, and the breaded catfish was the bees knees. The hush puppies weren't for me. The batter was just too thick and the cornbread had a spice to it. That wasn't my thing. But everything else we had outstanding. Would definitely return to this eclectic and wonderful restaurant. I also recommend that you make a reservation because it gets busy. read more

I haven't been here in years, but we went there today for lunch, and it was so good! The oyster po-boy and hush puppies were perfect. My husband loved his Nashville hot chicken sandwich and the side salad. I had a bite too and it was crazy spicy, but yum! Love the decor-very New Orleans! Made me want to go on a trip. The service was really good too-our server kept that Diet Coke coming. read more

Tasty food and great service! Loved the dark decor upon entering! Ample seating both in and out.... And busy! As a frequent solo traveler, I'm used to getting seated at the bar. And usually the service is ok. But here, the service was outstanding. I strolled in after a hike thirsty and hungry. This bartender was diligent in keeping that sparkling water flowing. She's a gem. Dinner was trout and it was delicious. Perfectly cooked. Sides were great, too. 10/10. I'll definitely be back and will be sharing this spot with my coworkers. read more

Such a great experience here last night! Food service and the atmosphere here is so solid. We had edamame and the chile relano app and then we each had the drunken angel pasta... omg this was so good, not too heavy or overbearing, honestly delicious. Next time I'm going to get the chicken as the couple next to us said it was too die for. I'd also try to Brussels sprouts next time and the shrimp and grits dish looked incredible. Definite gem, very understated. 5 stars would definitely go back read more

This was our first time at your restaurant. The food was off the chain. My wife ordered the dish with pasta, shrimp, and crawfish. I ordered the Gumbo with crawfish tails, and hush puppies. And our server was very courteous and helpful. Sorry I forgot his name. And the restaurant is decorated very nicely. We were just passing through Tucson, but if we do travel there in the future we'll definitely come back again. read more

Still a 10/10. The service is the best, the food is incredible. I tried the mussels for the first time and they were fresh, bursting with flavor, and the portion size was huge. I also got my favorite meal there, shrimp and grits, and learned you can split it between 2 plates and each person gets a full size of collards.

I lived in the south for a couple of years and, by far this is the closet southern food, I found in Southern AZ. The oysters were season and cooked perfectly, and they had crystals hot sauce. The food was flavorful yet it felt like an adventure, with every bite. We got mocktails (amazing), shrimp and grits, gumbo and the burger, all of which were out of this world. Service was great, Laura recommendations were on point. The Parish feels and looks like a New Orleans restaurant. Definitely a great find in AZ, and a must go. read more

Wonderful service and authentic Cajun food. Cocktails are very creative and tasty. Drunken angel is a must

We came here to celebrate my husband's birthday and it was just what we wanted! I made a reservation a few days before so we were seated promptly on a Friday night! Our drinks were perfect. I got the Mrs. KC mule, and my husband got a Sazerac and the specialty drink that was Tucson City of Gastronomy certified. All of them were fantastic! For dinner, we had the cornbread and frog legs as appetizers, and my husband got the parish burger. All of our items were delicious! The cornbread was some of the best I had ever had. I had the mesquite salmon salad and like other reviewers have said, it was some of the best salad I've had in Tucson! The decor and ambiance really added to the food as well. We will be back! read more

Moved to Tucson and was looking for a good spot to celebrate selling my house. This place is adorable. Love the decor, casual vibe and excellent food. Service is top notch. Had the steak and frites and it was cooked medium rare like I asked and was delicious. The hand cut fries are fantastic and fresh. The shrimp and cheese grits was savory and comfort food at its finest. Wasn't a fan of the bread pudding but enjoyed every last crumb of the berry pie. The blue corn bread is moist and cooked and served in a cast iron skillet. Loved that with the cinnamon honey butter. It paired nicely. Had the frog legs and they were good. The Parish burger with the red onion marmalade is flavorful and I find myself craving it. Can't wait to go back! read more

The Shrimp & Grits is delicious, added with the greens and I was highly impressed and enjoyed it. The sausage was stated to be andouille however I'm not so sure about them... the added addition of the sausage on the back side of the plate doesn't offer a visual appearance, as I was thinking they would be cooked with the S&G not just added on the back. The cup of Gumbo was not my favorite, however I have never like filé which is why opted for the cup. Service was a little slow as I sat for about 5-10 minutes without being approached or even serviced. Seems like the waitress either had too much on her plate at the time or needs help. read more

We probably didn't look very festive. After a full day of tromping through the rugged hills and trails of the Catalinas, we were dusty, tired, happy -- and looking forward to dinner at The Parish, a restaurant my son had been eyeing for months. The food was terrific, the portions generous, and we enjoyed our meal. Midway through dinner, I mentioned to the hostess that it was my son's birthday and asked if she would let our waiter know. I ordered the bread pudding and looked forward to ending the evening with a candle, a little celebration, and a special birthday moment. I'm not sure what happened, but that moment never came. As we finished dinner, our waiter arrived with the check and, in a hurried tone that seemed louder and more abrupt than the moment called for, asked, "Will you be having dessert?" I was caught off guard. The bread pudding. The candle. The birthday moment. Was he joking? For a moment, I fully expected to see someone from the kitchen emerge with something on a plate and a candle. But that moment never came. And that was the letdown. It was never really about the dessert. It was about the missed opportunity for a simple bit of joy -- the kind of small gesture that turns an ordinary dinner into a memory. The Parish delivered a wonderful meal, but the ending fell flat. read more

These are probualy the best mussels we've ever had. For our entrees we got the shrimp and grits and the trout. The greens were slightly tough but everything else was perfect. The mussels were the highlight of the meal for us read more

Rates No. #66 on Yelp's list Travis Peters - former Executive Chef of The Parish & Iron Chef winner makes this a must visit here in Tucson. Huge shout out to our super amazing waiter, Raymond. He showed us the back of his tee that read....Punk Rock Inspired Cuisine with Southern Hospitality. He recommended the Drunken Angel which is the dish that won the Iron Chef competition. The Angel hair is cooked in Burgundy which gives it that rich red color. We never had anything like this before. My son loved it. We also got the Guedry's Gumbo. Had to add the 4 shrimps for $6 extra. Come on, can't have gumbo without shrimp. This was my fave. My son wanted Hot Legs Le' Jean (frogs legs wrapped in bacon). Legs were juicy and succulent. Spooky gothic decor which is interesting given what the name of the place is called. We sat next to a painting with two girls staring at us. Lol. And did I mention how frickin awesome Raymond is?

It took us a while to make a reservation here. That made me more curious; there must be something really good going on here. When we got there, the place wasn't even busy. They had a few tables open. The place is okay, probably a Southern-themed place, as I can describe it. Our server was good, very accommodating. The food is kind of pricey, with a very small menu. But we loved their cocktails, that's for sure. My husband loved their bread pudding; I think that's why this place is always busy--they have a small menu, and they made sure they perfected what they are offering. read more
