The Parish

They were on the busy side so one additional server would have help but our server was very good and provided us with excellent service. We went for the Gumbo and it was very good as usual. Parking: The business is in with other businesses but had no problem finding a parking spot. They did have one space reserved for pickup.

They had a pounding drum type music playing, but when we requested that it be turned down it was turned down, so that was a plus. We got there early on a Sunday evening at 5:00 p.m. Three out of the four dishes were great, that was the chicken and waffles, shrimp and grits, steak and frits. The pulled pork was just above average. It could have been worse. They didn't really have any barbecue sauce. I'm probably spoiled from living 22 years in Tennessee. The waiter was great, he kept our water glasses full the whole time. There were three young lady hostesses that were smiling. You could smell the good food cooking even before you entered. Parking: We came at 5:00 p.m. and there was plenty of parking right at 5:00, but it might have gotten tight because people were waiting to get in before we left. That was on a Sunday. 5:00 p.m. seems like a real good time to come on Sunday if you want to get right in and find easy parking. That was our experience.

Good food and wonderful service.

First time eating crayfish and hush puppies.. fantastic food

The food was absolutely stellar. Definitely in the top 10 places I've eaten at. Our server, Lawson, was passionate, friendly, and knowledgeable. I stopped in Tucson just for the night after driving 10 hours since it was on my way, but I would definitely drive 10 hours to just to go here again!

We just had an exceptional meal at The Parish. The fried catfish had a perfectly crispy exterior, with the fish tender and succulent. The tartar sauce was a revelation, with a flavor profile unlike anything out of a jar. Tart yet creamy, and an ideal counterpoint to the fish. The shrimp and grits were as great to eat as they were beautiful to look at, and the accompanying collard greens were simply delicious. Our server was helpful and friendly, and the manager promptly took care of a small issue with a graciousness and generosity that speaks of the pride he takes in his establishment. Can’t wait for our next trip to Tucson so we can pay another visit to The Parish!
