The Parish

Had an amazing experience! The food was amazing! Great atmosphere. We had a private party & utilized the section in the back. Such a fun place with the decor authentic to NOLA. We had amazing service. Raymond was great!! Definitely recommend & we will be back!

Our server was super attentive and everybody loved their food. The blueberry sauce with the brussels sprouts was exquisite. My salad alone was incredible with their garlic dressing. The plate was so vibrant. Our other guests loved their rice and beans. It was exactly what they wanted.

I had mixed feelings about my experience at The Parish. The food was definitely the highlight, everything I ordered was flavorful and well-prepared. You can tell the kitchen takes pride in the dishes they serve. Unfortunately, the service didn’t match the quality of the food. Our server wasn’t very attentive, we waited quite a while to get her attention multiple times throughout the meal. It felt like we were forgotten at points, which took away from the overall experience. The atmosphere was okay nothing particularly memorable, but not unpleasant either. With some improvements in service and a little more energy in the dining space, this place could be a solid go to.

We ate here yesterday and it was amazing. I live near a southern restaurant in Seattle and the Parish way way better! The flavors ! The decor is super cool, I used to work in antiques and it was fun checking out the paintings. I never had hush puppies this good before! The gumbo was excellent, just enough spice and flavor. The greens were fresh, flavorful. The service was excellent, ambiance chill. Music selection - loved, the xx and such brought me back to 2011. Had a wonderful experience, my leftovers were a treat.

The portions were enough for 2 people. We each tried something different and all the food was amazing. The Seafood pasta was the favorite dish with the salmon a close and. The cornbread was a big hit too. Steak had great flavor, just mildly overcooked for my liking. Red Beans and rice are good, but must add in the sausage to make it really good. Sadly they were out of Oysters and Mussels. Maybe next time. A bit pricey to be a frequent eatery, but I would definitely go back.

The Parish has a creative Southern-Southwest fusion menu and a fun, eclectic atmosphere. Some dishes stood out, like the chicken waffle , and the place is pet-friendly, which is a nice touch. Worth checking out if you’re into bold, unique flavors.

We had a fantastic meal. We started.with the Black and Blue Brussel Sprouts. A spicy sauce of blackberries and blueberries over the Brussel.sprouts was absolutely delicious. I enjoyed the Carolina Pulled Pork Pibil sandwich and my wife had the fried catfish. Bothe were very good. Do yourself a favor and upgrade your side to the hushpuppies, crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside. Don't even think of skipping the Pickle Berty Pie. It is sweet pickled black and blue berries in a flaky crust with a tarragon goat cheese whip over the top. It was sooooo good! Our waitress was fantastic!

Frog legs and Brussels sprouts were truly 10/10 first-class products. The bacon wrapped frog legs had so much flavor my nose tickled with smoke and pepper. The mussels were also a first-class recipe, but not the freshest I’ve ever had (golden rule is to eat seafood while near the ocean, so considering we’re in the desert I was appeased). I was hesitant to get a burger because there were so many other great things to choose from. I’m glad I got the Parish burger the recipe was perfect and the beef was very high quality, but I’ll say it seemed undercooked and I should have had them microwave it for 20 seconds. Overall I was very impressed with the food. I was even more impressed they’ve been in business almost 15 years but still consistently serving the highest quality first-class meals. Retain your chefs at all costs. Great restaurant!

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!

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!

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.

We had a large party of 11 and were given a private seating area. It was nice! Drinks were yummy! I've been here before. Food always hits the spot. I ordered pork rinds as a an app for extra crunch! Gumbo with shrimp is a must! We all loved our food. Service was nice. Love the eccentric ambiance here

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.

Updated review...I still keep coming here and the food is still five stars. The shrimp and grits is one of my favorites along with the drunken angel pasta. I truly LOVE this restaurant.

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. Disclaimer: maybe I am not a soul food person.

We always enjoy hanging out at The Parish. My husband likes the burger and I like to explore various food choices they offered. The drinks are so delicious, beers, wines, & cocktails. Rainy was our server this time and she was amazingly friendly and courteous. We keep coming back for more.

10/10 Burger, it was the best burger I've ever had. Also side salad with green onion dressing was so delicious. Pasta was underwhelming but not bad. Gumbo 6/10. Hush puppies were delicious.

Great food and interesting drinks! Get the bacon popcorn for starters. The steak and fries are excellent too.

What a great menu and an even better staff. Had lunch with a business associate, started with housemade pork rinds and bacon popcorn. So good it may be criminal. Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich was top shelf. My buddy had the Por Boy and he devoured it. Staff was very attentive and friendly,. When I visit Tucson again I will be back.

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

Excellent restaurant and services with all the set up!!! Food was delicious and I had a Dunken Angel for lunch... creamy sauce with red wine for pasta is an amazing dish!!! Decorations for restaurant is very special with southern n parish style!!!

Drinks stellar! Food was good too. Would definitely come back to try other things. Ambiance was vibey and moody

This place is pretty cool. Not like they need another good review but here we go lol I'm in town visiting family and wanted a place to dip out by myself. Cute New Orleans vibe. Love the chandeliers and decor. Wait to sit outside was a little long so I got a nice spot at the bar to look out the window. The bartender was a doll. So helpful and attentive. I got the bacon popcorn. Two of my favorite things. So good. Also got the drunken angel. Burgundy pasta with crawfish and shrimp with a lobster, saffron and red pepper cream sauce. I can't even. I live by Chicago. I've never heard of burgundy pasta. Why?! Didn't take pics because I was super hungry lol

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.

A friend recommended The Parish prior to our trip to Tucson. What a wonderful restaurant. The decor and ambiance is absolutely wonderful. It does not look like a big restaurant from the outside, but when you walk in, it's pretty big and there is even a nice private dining space in the back. The food was exceptionally delicious. So delicious we went to The Parish twice during our vacation. The service was spot-on! The first visit, our waitress recommended La Verdad drink. Oh my goodness! It was amazing!! I totally recommend it. Run, don't walk, to The Parish!!

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!

Wow! Smoked 1/2 chicken with an elite waffle , WHAT! It was amazing n huge! The Smokey flavor of the chicken was completely unexpected to this capacity. I don't even like waffles but the special butter on it and how unique n delicious the food always is here I had to try it!! Highly recommend

Too expensive for what you get. Pork rinds were delicious. From legs were fantastic, but it cost $100 for two of us to eat with 3 bottles of beer.

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.

We've visited The Parish about seven times over the past three years and have never had a bad meal. The food is consistently excellent, and the service is always top-notch. By pure chance, we've had Lawson as our server all but once, and if you're lucky enough to sit in his section, trust his recommendations. He takes the time to understand your preferences and makes thoughtful suggestions for appetizers, entrées, and drinks. Our go-to appetizers are the PEI mussels--the chorizo broth really sets them apart--and the blue corn bread. That said, the hushpuppies are also fantastic. If you're especially hungry, the steak and frites is a great choice, with a well-balanced sauce. My personal favorite is the shrimp and grits. Tonight, I took Lawson's advice and added andouille--it was next level. The grits are served as a fried cake with a perfect crunch that holds up to the sauce, and the collard greens on the side strike just the right balance of porky salt and vinegar. My daughter loves their gumbo, and adding crawfish makes it a substantial portion. Keep in mind that it comes with a side of hushpuppies, so you might want to skip them as an appetizer. My wife is a big fan of their salad with salmon, as well as the salmon entrée. Meanwhile, my son tends to go for the pulled pork or the burger--both are delicious, and in our experience, the burger is always cooked just right. This isn't light fare, and you'll likely leave with leftovers--but that's never a bad thing!

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.

This is a cute little place in Tucson where it feels like Louisianna! The place is decorated like that area and the dishes are thoughtfully prepared using recipes straight from the bayou it seems. I was very excited to indulge in some excellent food and great drinks! I will certainly be back again to try something more. The bartender and other waitstaff really took their jobs seriously and we're all about great customer service.

I've never seen such a blend of Southern US fare that no other place has yet touched. Their "Magnolia in May" drink was very colorful shaved fruit skins atop a wonderful blend of valencia gin, lavender honey puree, lemon, & Creme de Violette foam. Wow! I had the gumbo blending Andouille sausage & shrimp...which was not only with gusto, but a deep, hearty bowl. My wife had a sweet pear salad burnished with fruits & nuts she really enjoyed as well. And, if you like tart, the pickleberry pie was to die for.-Dan G.

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.

Finally got to try this place! I'm sure most Tucsonans know how good this place is so i will keep my review nice and short. But I MUST recognize the absolutely fantastic service. Unfortunately I forgot her name(sorry) but she was working on Sunday as a server and a bartender. Such a delightful girl!!!! As for food, they definitely did not disappoint! I had watermelon salad, which I've been wanting to try for the longest. It was delicious! A bit spicy for my taste so next time I will ask for dressing on the side. Also had Drunken Angel, which was amazing! I can't wait to go back and try more items!!

I've been to Parish a few times and love the Cajun flavors in their dishes and cocktails. This time, I tried the award winning *Sister Lost Soul* cocktail--whiskey, sotol, and ground spices--and it was perfectly balanced with a hint of sweetness. I always get the bacon popcorn (a must!) for the seasoning and crispy bacon. For my meal, I had the fried catfish with a side salad instead of fries. The catfish was a big, filling piece with flavorful batter. Their dog-friendly patio is a bonus--my pup even got a water bowl. Highly recommend for southern eats in Tucson!

We love The Parish. The food, the drinks, the bartenders, the service, everything has been excellent whenever we go. It is typically known for southern style/Cajun food, but they also have special holiday dinners, in particular the St. Patrick's Day dinner and Guinness Cake, are the best in town!

The Parish has a funky, cool, New Orleans French Quarter vibe and amazing southern food. The service was phenomenal. Our waiter was friendly, gave great recommendations, and was attentive. My friend and I split the beer battered catfish and fries and the shrimp po' boy, with chips, and both were the best I've had. Not pictured was a signature cocktail with their raspberry infused gin. The only disappointing thing about The Parish is that the food was so good I ate everything and didn't save room for the bread pudding. I definitely will get that on the next visit. Do yourself a favor and stop in and eat at the Parish when you're in Tucson, Arizona because it is absolutely fantastic.

My daughter and I stopped in for dinner. It's a Cajun restaurant that didn't disappoint. Good service and great cocktails. We got there early and glad we did as it began to fill up. I had the hush puppies with red beans & rice and the Gumbo. Excellent. I recommend this place for a good meal.

I wanted to try one of the most talked about restaurants since Tucson, and it lived up to expectations! I was pleasantly surprised to find a Southern fusion cuisine in Tucson. The vibe was pretty casual but could definitely be a bit dressy if desired. The food was delicious, everything was very indulgent. Black and blue Brussels had a nice crisp and a little kick of spice at the end Cornbread was fresh warm and comforting. Drunken Angel Pasta was delicious! Lots of seafood pieces! Huge portion. Fried chicken and waffles were phenomenal. Service was great. We had a great time and definitely recommend!

This is such a uniquely and fancily decorated spot! The food choices are very special and what we ordered we truly enjoyed. The fish and chips were especially delicious and reminded me of being off the coast of Ireland with the added malt vinegar. The service was super friendly and patient as we could not decide from all the tempting options. The bacon popcorn definitely hit the taste buds rightly with real bacon pieces. A must try!

Food was amazing, I had the sweet pear salad and tried the Johnny steak and frites, both delicious. Service was great.

Great food and service every time. Katie, Dillon, Lawson and all the staff are amazing. Great food, Johnny Steak Frittes is excellent (everything is).

I was here five years ago and hadn't realized it till I went into the restaurant. I checked my review from five years ago and saw that I really liked it. I came with four friends this time. Three of us ordered the gumbo with shrimp. One ordered a hamburger with gumbo on the side and one ordered a pulled pork with gumbo on the side. We had the fabulous cornbread as well. The drinks were exceptional as they were five years ago. Service was great. It's a very cool place.

Excellent casual place for great food and drink. Not stuffy, very welcoming. Been here 4, 6 times over the last couple of years. Always eat in the bar. Muscles are great. Gumbo is top notch , hush puppies, catfish all really good.. Well worth stopping.., many thanks

I choose this restaurant to celebrate my July birthday with a friend and was happy to have tried something new! Don't judge this restaurant by the outside (looks like it's just an ordinary restaurant located in a shopping center.) It's anything but ordinary. Service was top notch! Our waiter was equal parts friendly, helpful, & attentive! Food was something wonderfully different! We shared our dishes in order to taste everything we ordered and nothing disappointed! I was given a birthday dessert & it was scrumptious! I'll definitely be returning!

You had me at bacon popcorn. The restaurant is serious about inspired food fusion. The Drunken Angel pasta is over-stuffed with crab, lobster and crawfish. The jambalaya is generous and comforting. They serve signature burgers and poboys. Bartenders and servers are knowledgeable and helpful in navigating some of their unusual offerings. And extra points go to them for featuring local artists on their walls, beautifully accenting an eclectic environment. A "must visit" dining experience for both tourists and locals.

This was such a pleasant surprise for my husband and I. We were just passing by and decided to share the Brussels sprouts. They were super good and the berry hot sauce was super interesting and yummy. We did ask them to remove the pecans in order to make this vegetarian dish vegan because they use egg white when making these pecans. We decided to order more and enjoyed the smokin' angel pasta cooked in wine and then topped with sauce without the two cheeses to make it vegan as well. We really enjoyed the atmosphere and thought the service was excellent (attentive but not overly pushy. They got us what we needed , checked on us but let us be, didn't constantly try to take our plates etc--just the way we wanted)

Our first time ! Service was great , Ambience great ! I had had the Gumbo and although it had a great flavor, the menu said there was andouille sausage, unless it was grounded up there was no andouille sausage in my Gumbo , very disappointing. My wife had the rice and beans and added the andouille sausage and gave me some , to put in my Gumbo, delicious! I want to go back and try the chicken and waffle dish ,hopping not to be disappointed.

We were there when they opened so we had the place to ourselves. Generally it's quite loud but not this time. The food was okay and service was excellent. I'm not bragging when I say that I make a superior pulled pork so when we both get the same meal and made the same comment that we're sticking with my homemade pulled pork it's not a slam on this establishment bc theirs is "good enough" for some people, just not us. Will try something different next time.

Really enjoyed this spot. I was surprised to see a restaurant serving Cajun food in Tuscon but this place delivers. The drinks were absolutely fantastic! Like some of the best drinks I've ever had. My friend had the catfish and I got the drunken angel. Food came out in a reasonable time and was hot and fresh. I got some pork rind as appetizers and they came out popping and served with crystal hot sauce which I was surprised they had that! A casual spot but could be used for date nights if you wanted to. Really enjoyed my experience and the staff was very attentive!

We were not sure if we would get a table during "the May 4th be with you" event tonight but our wait was around 45 mins and we were happy to enjoy a very nice dinner. Our service was fantastic! Katie was very friendly and patient! We haven't been to the original location in many years! It is still very colorful and cozy. Our dinner was enjoyed by all of us! Beautifully presented and delicious! We had fun playing trivia tonight too! Thanks for hosting a fun event!

Our group had a great time at The Parish! Seriously, it's a hidden gem you've should check out. Our group started with their cast iron cornbread. Perfect for sharing between 2 or four people - just the right amount of crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. We were lucky to hit up happy hour, so I got to try a couple of things - the cup of gumbo and hush puppies were a good combo, but they also have plenty of larger entrée options. The Manzanita at Midnight Cocktail was listed on their menu as the 2023 Tucson City of Gastronomy Cocktail of the Year so we tried that out. Not too sweet and a really good pairing with all of the spice. The service? A+! The staff was super friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. Made the whole experience even better. And the vibe? Moody and chill. Perfect for a laid-back hangout with friends or a cozy date night.

... to all the regulars, I love you. Nothing like coming in and having a few tables along with those at the bar singing to the 70s hit! Ambers music! I appreciate the laid back atmosphere where you can joke. Relax and just have some fun. If you're new and you're not use to this place. Relax. Enjoy. Soak it all in. Now to some folk who criticize the servers standing around not doing anything... I have to call BS. This place is always on its feet doing something.

First time here, and I must say its a nice little spot. Didn't realize it was next to the Asian restaurant I frequent quite often. First Impression: It was a pretty big place for its size. I was under the impression it was a tiny place but I was wrong as soon as I stepped in and took a look around. I liked how friendly the staff were. The restaurant was very clean as well. Interactions: Staff was friendly and helpful in regards to making suggestions and what type of experience we were looking for as first timers. Appreciated all the suggestions. Kudos to the staff! Food: If there's one thing I learned from diving into a plate of beer-battered catfish, it's that sometimes, the best things in life are the ones that make you forget all about your manners. Picture this!!!!! A crispy golden exterior that's like a siren song to your taste buds, enticing you to abandon all thoughts of portion control. The catfish inside? Flakier than a politician dodging questions, and juicier than a gossip column. But let's talk about that beer batter. It's like the fish decided to take a dip in a pool of liquid gold before hitting the fryer. Each bite is a party in your mouth, with bubbles of beer popping like fireworks on the Fourth of July. Service: Amazing service :), I could not have asked for something better. Truly a great experience. Thank you! Value: I'm usually harsh on value due to cost, but its hard to make sound critics on it due to just how crazy food cost have gotten out of control, but nevertheless I think the value here is great considering the experience you are getting. I'd say its right on par with most established restaurants in terms of pricing, Recommendation: If you like a good atmosphere full of cool art, great customer service and just a declious menu full of great foods! I think this place would be a sure bet. It's got its own vibe and uniqueness and I was thoroughly impressed with my experience :). I will be back.

Always a great time coming to this place. The food is eclectic and there's something for everyone. My favorite is the bacon popcorn and the steak frites. The bacon popcorn is the best salty savory snack which is good to have people to share with because the portion is usually more than I can finish. The steak frites are prepared to order and never misses on the steak temp. The frites are well done and crispy. And the sauce is creamy and savory, sometimes I get it on the side to enjoy the steak itself and dip the frites. The drinks are great. There is a great cocktail menu and large selection of beer and wine. The bartenders are very smiles and accommodating and can make things on the fly. It's a great local place. The only thing is I wish they stayed open for bar hours 10-2am. With maybe a limited night snack menu. It'd be a great place for acoustic or jazz trio.
