I was always hesitant to go to The Parish because the menu is pretty heavy on the meat, but I was ready to explore because my family really wanted to dine there. To my great surprise, I had a couple of great options, so we dove in! Three appetizers -- Blue Cornbread, spicy edamame, and the Brussels sprouts -- and all were excellent! I devoured the edamame -- yummy AND healthy. I asked to have the candied pecans on the side of the Brussels sprouts, but unfortunately, my request was ignored. They were still delicious, but since I don't do sugar, I had to pick around the sauce and pecans to enjoy what I could. We had four different entrees (I missed a few pics), and all were very good. However, some of our requests, like the pecans, were completely overlooked. I asked for the salmon roe on the side, and it came right on top. My kid asked for a medium-well steak, and it came very, very(!) pink. Paying attention to these little nuances would have taken our experience much further. Overall, cozy, authentic, really good food -- and really feel-good food! I'm glad I finally tried The Parish.
This place has been on my short list for some time. I really miss The Delta that was its sister. Finally made it in and OMG I am hooked! I had high expectations and they met them with valor! Started with the cornbread great compliment to the rest of the meal I believe. The two dishes we had were the drunken angel and Guedry's Gumbo. Absolutely delicious, they both were simply delicious. Totally met the hype of the place. Our waiter was great at timing everything from drinks to food to dessert. Oh dessert, bread pudding oh my just a fabulous hit. The dining room was full but not crowded. Cozy atmosphere and it had just rained a bunch outside and the inside was not humid or cold. Just a great experience. Not many five stars do I give but this place truly made the hype!
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!
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.
I keep going back to try more food from this unique and tantalizing menu! I've loved everything I've had served by warm, welcoming, pleasant staff. It's a colorful, classy place frequented by a loyal group of locals known to servers! No pic here, but the pickle berry pie is to die for!!!!
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.
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!
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.
Absolutely incredible experience at The Parish! The food, atmosphere, and service were all fantastic. Raymond was our server and was amazing -- knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely added to the experience. He even shared some New Orleans history with us, including the story of the Storming of the Sazerac and women claiming their place at the bar. Such a fun detail that made the experience even more memorable! Now the FOOD. The frog legs were incredible. The hush puppies are great on their own, but do yourself a favor and ask for the green onion balsamic dipping sauce with them -- SO good. Their housemade Black & Blue hot sauce is incredible too and absolutely worth trying. We also had the gumbo, red beans, fries, and catfish po' boy, and there wasn't a miss anywhere. The catfish was especially good -- perfect breading and fried exactly right. Crispy without being heavy or overdone. Great food, great atmosphere, fantastic service, and the kind of place where the whole experience feels memorable. We will absolutely be back!
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.
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.
Excellent meal experience for our anniversary - our server violet was super attentive and even brought us a surprise anniversary cake at the end of the meal. Had grilled oysters and the seafood boil and all of it was excellent. Even got to enjoy a Calhan Vineyards red. Great job by this staff and look forward to coming back soon !

Foods were excellent and quite unique. Pictures do not do it justice. We ordered a lot to try different things and they offered a split plate charge of 4.00, Which was perfect for the shrimp and fried grits with collergreens. We also ordered the Brussels sprouts which had some heat to it. We also ordered PEI mussels and chorizo. Can't say enough about this place, excellent. GOod service. read more

I've heard good things about this place but I didn't think any of the stuff we ordered was very good. :( We got the chicken and waffle, catfish & gumbo, hush puppies and chile relleno Chile relleno was the best item on the list. The waitress was kind and attentive though. I thought the waffle, chicken and hush puppies tasted burnt and had minimal flavor. Gumbo was good and chile relleno were fine as well. Drinks were yummy though We doubt we'll be going back read more

We came in for my birthday dinner on Friday because I haven't eaten here in awhile and have been dying to eat the Drunken Angel again since I had a bite of my friend's the last time we visited. Unfortunately, however, that dish was not my favorite of the night. (Or my favorite at all, the flavor was a little off to me.) What really shined was the PEI Mussels! The flavor was ohhhhhh so good and delicious, I couldn't stop eating them! I only wish they had brought out more bread to eat with them!! They were so flavorful and everything was portioned SO generously that we were full by the time our entrees came out! I really loved the shrimp and grits, but all this soul food was so heavy it was hard to eat everything we ordered. I wish I switched it up with a salad or something light so that I could have kept going. Overall, everything was delicious and I definitely feel like this is one of the best restaurants in Tucson. read more

This was our first time at The Parish, but definitely not the last. We are fans of New Orleans style cooking so when we saw the Seafood Boil we had to try it. (Available on Tuesdays beginning at 4:00pm). What a delicious meal. We started off with the Oysters on the half shell. They were meaty and seasoned perfectly. Sorry for the poor photo. The decor is like walking into a French Quarter cafe without it being overdone. The booth we sat in was comfortable. Our server was Laura. She is a beautiful person inside and out. She was very attentive and knowledgeable. You can tell she likes likes her job and is interested in her customers having the best dining experience available. They have a good wine list, beers and a full bar. We strongly recommend The Parish. Maybe we'll see you there. We're going back for the fried Catfish. read more

We were in town and wanted to try something local. Pleasantly surprised with how food the food was. The jambalaya was a little spicy but so delicious. My favorite thing was the cornbread and hushpuppies. I am obsessed now with hushpuppies. My husband got the seafood angel hair pasta and it was packed with seafood. The service was great. Our server was friendly and attentive The ambiance was eclectic but cute! I'm sure we'll come back if we're ever in town again read more

We've been wanting to try The Parish for a while and had high hopes, especially seeing how busy it was. We started with the pork rinds, which were fine but nothing exciting. Some pieces were much chewier than others. The Brussels sprouts were good, maybe a little overdressed for our taste, but cooked perfectly. The mussels were pretty good, although very tiny. We prefer the mussels at Kingfisher. We also had the Angry Shrimp. I would have been happy with a fourth shrimp. The dish was swimming in oil and cheese, which were the main drawbacks. We brought it home to reheat, but that was not the best idea. The biggest turnoff, though, was the bread. We are not sure if the butter was rancid, but once we took a bite, we could not get that taste out of our mouths. The terrible taste really spoiled our appetites. At the end of the day, I would say go and give it a try and see what you think. I am not sure if it will be one and done for us or if we will give it another chance. I did notice several people ordering the burgers, so maybe those are the way to go. I would recommend giving it a try and deciding for yourself. Maybe it was just an very off day. read more

Oh boy, oh boy, ohhhhh boy! I added myself to the waitlist through yelp on a Friday Night (would recommend). I ordered the Black and Blue Brussels. They were delectable. Crispy, flavorful and the perfect amount of spice. I asked for extra sauce on the side and it was amazing if you like a little more schweet heat. Next up, I had the Crispy Skin Salmon. It is served with brabant (whatever that means they were good though) potatoes and chimichurri marinated arugula. This dish with the fish was phenomenal! Tons of flavors exploding in your mouth from every direction. Salmon came perfectly cooked medium rare. PSA! Use the arugula to mop up the sauce!!!!!! The service and atmosphere are exceptional. Shoutout to my server Lawson and the hostesses. read more

Who would've thought this Louisiana girl would find incredible Cajun food all the way in Tucson?! Raymond took care of us and was as warm and welcoming as they come. I had the red beans and rice with andouille sausage, absolutely spot-on. My husband ordered the Carolina pulled pork, and the kitchen went above and beyond to make him a custom papaya vinaigrette slaw to accommodate his allergies. My son had the shrimp gumbo and loved every bite. Everything was flavorful, hearty, and cooked to perfection. The homemade Arnold Palmers (sweet tea and lemonade) were the perfect refreshment, and the hush puppies? Fried perfectly and immediately addicting We'll absolutely be back the next time we're in town! read more

Funky interior full of vibe, and the food was pretty great. Very surprised by their cocktails, so unique and spot on. Their gumbo was good (not great), the hush puppies amazing, and the bacon popcorn interesting. I'd recommend this! read more
Only a block away from my hotel, the Parisch is, for sure, the local favorite spot where the cool "kids" hang out. I made the genius move of walking in at 6 pm, and surprise, surprise, every single table was taken, and even the bar stools were occupied by people who clearly had better planning skills than I did. Not to mentioned that totally spaced out about the snowbirds invasion.) The super friendly hostess broke the news to me that the waiting time was about 30 minutes, which was actually a blessing in disguise because it gave me a chance to catch up on some phone calls and pretend to be a functioning adult. Right on the dot, I was seated, and let me tell you, the atmosphere was so much fun and relaxed. The waiter was friendly and had his head on a swivel, which I assume is waiter speak for being on top of things. I ordered an Old Fashioned, because priorities, and the beer-battered catfish, which I then proceeded to dissect like a culinary forensic scientist to get to the core of the matter. The fish was cooked perfectly, and I thoroughly enjoyed the Parish vibe. I'll definitely be back, but next time I'll make a reservation - lesson learned. read more

Earlier this year, we came here to celebrate Father's Day. During the beginning of November, my son, selected the Parish to celebrate his 19th birthday. We love this place and it is easily one of my top choices to dine in Tucson. The service, ambiance, and food are exceptional. For an appetizer, we had the Hot Legs Le' Jean (Black pepper and horseradish rubbed frog legs wrapped in bacon, with creole remoulade; Gluten Free) as my son never had frog legs before. They were amazingly memorable. My son also enjoyed his chicken and waffle. For the main dish, I had the Drunken Angel, and my mom had the Smokin' Angel. Both had so much flavor. As my wife has a shellfish allergy, our waiter was able to accommodate a selection of the lunch menu. Thank you for that act of kindness. She also enjoyed the mocktail, the Spiced Cinnamon Apple Mule. The Parish has my highest recommendations! read more

Absolutely amazing! I was having a conversation with my brother and he said I got something you need to see. I went to pick him and he said look up this place and let's ride. The drive was about 90 miles for us and it was completely worth it. I'd definitely recommend this place and I'm going to return for sure!!! read more

My first time here at least for sitting down. The food was decent. We tried a variety of food.. The black and blue Brussels were pleasantly sweet. However, I could only eat a small amount of it. The cornbread was okay. It was a little on the drier side for my taste. It also did not have a lot of flavor. I mainly tasted butter so I would rate it a 6/10. I tried the Guedry's Gumbo with Chicken, Andouille sausage, rice, and added crawfish. It came with hush puppies. The gumbo was good 8/10. The service was decent. It was slow at first. Then we did finally get service. Ambiance was small but cozy. read more

We visited for dinner on Sunday night and received excellent service. I had tried several times to confirm whether we needed a reservation since the online system showed no availability, but no one answered the phone. We decided to take a chance and came in, and there was plenty of seating available. We both really enjoyed the frog legs, Brussels sprouts (which had a nice kick), as well as the salmon and trout. I highly recommend all of these dishes! The rice that accompanies the fish dishes is spicy, but you can substitute it for regular rice if you prefer. I found the Manzanita a bit sweet for my taste. The Jalisco was good but quite spicy. The Summer Sipper was also too sweet for my liking. read more

It's a little random in a strip mall but once you get inside, the decor is very cool looking. Very Louisiana. The staff is very friendly and attentive. Very chill vibe inside. That already is getting us to four stars and what puts us over the top is the food. Five Stars! I had the gumbo with hush puppies added some shrimp to it. It was so hearty I couldn't even finish. This was definitely worth the trip up to the foothills. read more
Can't believe it took me this long to eat here, but it was worth the wait. We enjoyed the black and blue Brussels, Johnny steak and fries, and the Drunken Angel pasta. All were delicious, and really good size portions. It looks like they have a decent happy hour deal, so we'll definitely return to try that next time. read more

The Frog Legs were very interesting and tasty. Like someone on here has warned though, there are bones on the inside so be careful not to chomp too hard immediately, haha. I know it seems common sense, but due to the way it is presented, they do not look like frog legs (thank goodness) so it might not be so intuitive. My boyfriend stated he loved the Gumbo a lot. Meanwhile, I enjoyed my meal of the Cat Fish as well. Ambiance and Service: We went during dinner and the ambiance was great with all the lights. An older couple was seated beside us and one of them accidentally spilled a drink, and the staff were incredibly quick and happy to help. It was heartwarming to see how kind everyone was to one another. I had a wonderful date at this restaurant overall. read more
