I've eaten here for years, and recently started getting my wife to eat here as well...we both love the cocktails and the food is outstanding. read more

We came here for our anniversary. We got a beer and cocktails to start with the mussels. They food took a little while to come out as they were busy with a large party, but the staff keeps us updated and we were happy to wait. When we got our appetizer, it was well worth the wait. 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

Excellent southern food ! Will definitely be back! We just moved here from Florida and this was definitely missing in our lives

Great food, definitely puts a spin on some classics that are absolutely delicious! Service was amazing, waiter was attentive & the way the restaurant is decorated takes you back to New Orleans! 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? The best!! Reservations are recommended. 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

Great place to eat and drink! They have special cocktails based on the season and a regular menu year round. Service is great and the food is amazing! Staff are very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The decor is lovely and fun. All of the food tastes great. I recently had the Parish Burger, fries and a Bloody Mary and everything was great! Depending on the time of day you might want to call ahead for a reservation. This place is popular. read more

All was really great. Service is amazing, good prices, food is well done and tastes amazing

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

Decided to swing by The Parish for lunch. As usual, this place was amazing! Although it was busy we were seated right away. And our server had water in hand. After taking our beer order I think it was maybe less than 10 minutes before our food was on the table. Piping hot and they have such unique offerings that you really can't find anywhere else in North Tucson. Atmosphere's laid back and we keep coming back for the consistency of the food. We had the beer battered cat fish and the ruby trout. Absolutely delicious read more

This was a pretty cool spot! It was described by our waiter as "Southern Cajun Fusion Inspired with an Arizona twist". The ambiance was pretty neat with decor that took you to an old rock n roll themed speakeasy. We started our meal with the cast iron cornbread. It was good! The "fusion" here was that the cornbread was sweet, unlike southern cornbread which tends to be more savory. For the entrees, we tried the Steak Frites (added shrimp) and the Drunken Angel pasta. The steak and shrimp were delicious!! The frites brought the dish down in my opinion... not awesome. The drunken angel pasta was recommended to us by our waiter and was described as a twist on a seafood Alfredo. They cook the pasta in red wine, so the noodles come out purple. The sauce is a cheesy Alfredo like cream sauce. The flavor was good, but very rich. The red wine really pushed the flavor profile and made the dish "different" but also made it a bit too rich to make a whole meal out of. Again, delicious flavor! But too rich for a whole meal - I would recommend maybe sharing this. Overall, it was a good experience! We would give it another shot. read more

Food service and more first time going there with a friend. Was glad it was chosen. The food is great and will definitely return

I love the Parish. It's in an unassuming strip mall, but the decor, food and drinks are all amazing. It's always a toss up between the drunken angel and the shrimp and grits. read more

Great food and service. Hush puppies are delicious. Split the shrimp and grits. Grits and shrimp were great, unique grits. Fun cocktails and a fun ambience with all the art work and decorations. We've been whenever we have come to town and the quality has been consistent read more

Always delicious, Driven across town several times for the crab legs. Love the mocktails.

I ordered the blackberry cream soda, hot legs le' jean, and the smokin' angel. The latter was a little too smokin' for my palate and something about that mesquite smoked tomato sauce was just off-putting. The appetizers and drinks here have always been pretty solid, and I liked being able to finally cross frog legs off my culinary bucket list. Of the handful of times I've been here I am just consistently left unsatisfied from one menu item or another. They've got southern comfort down to a tee, and the service is always phenomenal.

Who would've thought that they could do Cajun in the desert with great oysters and gumbo with shrimp and crawdads. Food was amazing. Service was really great. My server was Hawaiian, which was kind of strange, she's here for college. The ambience is what you expect kind of purples and pinks and weird stuff on the wall and jars full of ingredients in the bar. I got the gumbo add crawdads and shrimp a nice beer and red beans and rice with some Paris France absinth to top it off. The oysters were great and the spices on top of them really set them off. read more

We didn't have a great experience. We had high hopes going for our first time. We sat at bar and male bartender wasn't great. We ordered mussels and Brussels sprouts came out. Female bartender was gracious and took them back then male waiter came out and tried to blame us saying he said Brussels as he was walking away. He nor we ever used the word sprouts! read more

Service, great drinks, menu options, food was delicious, good location. Overall vibe made for a great date night.

Excellent variety of southern fusion. The food is always excellent. My favorite is drunken angel. Absolutely fabulous! Sometimes fun to take home some bacon popcorn as well. You have your choice of dying indoors or out. Just check the weather. read more

The Parish is a must go for anyone who enjoys good food. I tend to be generous with 5 star reviews but this place deserves a couple more. We were a party of 5 from out of town. The service was great. Raymond our server was top notch with great understanding of the menu and with suggestions. Cornbread- delicious x OMG. Hush puppies- Best Ever! Chicken & Waffles like we've never had 6 stars. Gumbo comes with hush puppies was amazing. The drunken angle pasta also delicious. Someone also had a salad that was very large and looked real fresh. Ended with the bread pudding. Also delicious. Highly recommend this place!!! Will definitely be back next time we're in town read more

I've been twice. The service was great both times as was the food. First time I had the chicken and waffles, most recently the drunken angel pasta; it was very good and I'll be back for it again. 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

I DoorDashed some red beans and rice. I grew up in NOLA and have been snowbirding in Tucson since 2017, but had not yet tried The Parish because the food from these places is never like the food in Louisiana. Finally tried it out. The Parish maintains that trend. The red beans were decent tasting, saltier than I'd prefer, but definitely not a traditional NOLA recipe. Not even close. It was more like red bean gumbo, which is a new concept for me. Having eaten, and cooked, red beans hundreds of times over fifty years, I'd never had ones like this. That being said, maybe folks like red bean gumbo. Folks who rave about the cornbread may have not had much experience with cornbread...it's ordinary. I was surprised at the decor, expected it to be more upscale. Probably looks better at night and after some adult beverages. The hostess that brought me my food was super nice. Service was on time and food was well packaged. Just an opinion from someone born south of I-10... PS and FYI...shrimp and grits is not a NOLA dish. It's from South Carolina. Just sharing knowledge! read more

Was in the area, mainly interested in the cornbread. There was no wait for seating. The bulk of customers during the afternoon were older, probably retired. The restaurant was Very peaceful! I ordered the cast iron cornbread and the drunken angel. I don't know how to describe the cornbread, it wasn't yellow, looked more like blueberry, but the taste was amazing! (It wasn't blueberry). I highly enjoyed the cornbread here. The drunken angel was a bit rich for me. They did tell me the noodles are cooked in wine, which was interesting. The noods definitely tasted like wine. Not what my taste buds wanted I suppose. I would have love to try one of their drinks but I was working. I'd definitely return, wanted to try the red beans and rice. The waiter was very polite and knowledgeable. He knew everything on the menu and how it was made! He was a great help! read more

Finally had an occasion to wander up to the NW side and reserved a table for 5:30pm on a Tue night. Glad we did because it was full with nothing available until 8p otherwise... on a Tue! (albeit Gem Show week). Ordered all our favs, including the decadently dessert-like skillet cornbread appetizer plus the Drunken Angel ($28) and Gumbo $19) entrees. For about $6 you can add additional proteins to the Gumbo besides the included (modest) chicken sausage. The Drunken Angel is kind of a vodka sauce (very tangy, delicious) and it comes with about 4 shrimp and 12-15 crawdads.... it's ridiculous how good this dish is. Be prepared that the sauce is likely loaded with cream and is very rich. The Gumbo was lukewarm but otherwise terrific flavors (and could have benefitted from a bit more protein though). The bread pudding is denser than "normal" and, for that reason, was not our favorite, fresh whipped cream rather than can-sprayed(?) would have been more ideal too. But venue, service, ambience were A+ as usual. Lunch pricing for these same entrees is a few dollars less. Parking will be tight but ultimately accommodates everyone with a bit of a walk at worst. Next time we'll get the black/blue Brussels for appetizer and order the cornbread for dessert - seriously, it's that sweet/good! Note: happy hour menu pictured too. read more

SLAPPING! That's really all I need to say. The hushpuppies 10/10. I'd go back just for the hushpuppies to be honest. The shrimp and grits were also delicious. The grit cake was the perfect size. And when paired with the shrimp, collard greens and the creole sauce makes one of the best dishes that I've had in a long time. The mixture of the textures and flavors was so good. I'll be visiting this place again the next time that I am in Tucson. read more

It's another 5 stars. My goodness. The steak frites...I don't even like steak but I love it here! That sauce is crazy good! The Brussels sprouts...we may have inhaled them. My husband had the burger which he said was awesome. My drinks from scratch...cheers to that. And the staff are great. Thank you guys!! read more

It's been six years since I last dined in at The Parish, and I'm thrilled to say the experience has only gotten better. From the moment you walk in, the ambience sets the tone--warm, inviting, and perfect for a date night or casual hangout. Service is smooth and attentive, and the food arrives faster than expected, which is always a plus. Here are my top recommendations from the current dinner menu: Black & Blue Brussels (5/5 stars) A standout appetizer. These Brussels sprouts are grilled to perfection, with a bold blend of tangy and sweet flavors. The seasoning is spot-on, and the char adds a smoky depth that makes each bite memorable. Cast Iron Cornbread (4/5 stars) Served hot in a skillet, this cornbread is rich and comforting. The bourbon butter melts into the bread, adding a sweet, boozy kick that makes it ideal for sharing. A Southern classic with a twist. Watermelon Salad (5/5 stars) MUST TRY. This isn't your average salad--it's a flavor and texture playground. The crispy pork belly contrasts beautifully with the juicy watermelon, while fresh blueberries, blackberries, candied pecans, goat cheese, and spicy tamarind vinaigrette elevate it to something truly special. The chefs clearly understand how to balance sweet, savory, and spicy in one dish Drunken Angel (5/5 stars) Still a showstopper after all these years. Burgundy angel hair pasta is bathed in a creamy red pepper sauce and topped with shrimp and crawfish, all enriched by a lobster broth and saffron. It's indulgent and best shared unless you're ready for a rich solo feast Chicken & Waffle (5/5 stars) This dish is a masterclass in Southern comfort. The mesquite-smoked, cinnamon Creole-rubbed chicken is juicy and flavorful, paired with a grilled elote waffle and cracked black pepper vanilla butter. Every element is thoughtfully executed Overall, what sets this restaurant apart is its ability to elevate familiar dishes through creative use of textures and bold, unexpected flavor pairings. It's Southern fusion done right--refined without losing its soul. read more

Fantastic. Had the shrimp and grits and added sausage, served with a rich and flavorful sauce and a large serving of collars greens. Sausage was sliced perfectly thin and shrimp were medium sized. Also had the cornbread, which is cooked and served in a mini cast iron skillet. This cornbread is different than others and has a sweet touch. The star of the show was the order of hushpuppies. Perfectly fried and textured, served with some kind of sauce whose flavor we couldn't figure out, we'd go back simply for this shareable plate. 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
