In Charlottesville for work and was craving some wings. SERVICE is almost nonexistent Wings came out dry and cold Atmosphere can be a very cool place I had to stand in line and literally beg for my check while actively getting ignored. Honestly should've just walked out without paying. There's no reason I paid for that food. This place is clearly only for the local bar flies. I would never return here again. read more

The Lazy Parrot is a great bar. The bartenders are always wonderful. I always look forward to seeing them. The drink specials are always cool too. There is ample space and there are ample TVs. If you like to sit outdoors, there is great space for that too. They even put up a corn hole game for some friendly fun. There are games inside too. The food is typical bar food. It's tasty but can be greasy. But there are some must have menu items. The Lazy Parrot Fries with cheese and bacon and homemade ranch are KILLER.... Some of the best fries I have ever had. And they are largely consistent with them. I have ordered them on at least 12 occasions and only once have they come out subpar. The pizzas are incredible too. Never disappointed. I go for the sausage , but have tasted others. All good. The boneless wings are as good as any, but I have not found a go-to sauce here.they have a million sauces. Really. But u can't get two on an order of 10 wings. That makes it hard to try new ones because if u don't like the new one, ur stuck with an order of wings u can't eat. The only complaint I have about this place is that sometimes the staff doesn't know what's hot in sports, so the TVs don't often keep up and u might have to ask for a change. And...the. Lights. Are. Too. Sterile. And bright. I don't know if I am at a bar, or in the emergency room. I wish they stayed open past 11....but you can squeeze a good time in before 11 if you go there. Again...highlights are a great, wonderful staff and consistent bar food. read more

I love this place. Ambiance is fantastic. People watching is without a doubt the best in cville. The people that come here are certainly something else. The vibes of a beach bar seem out of place but for some reason work so well. Outdoor seating area is amazing. Heaters, plenty of TVs, and high top tables. Can't beat it. The food is cheap and of solid quality. You'd be hard pressed to not find something on their vastly menu here. My biggest gripe with this place has always been its incredibly slow service (and I mean super slow). But my last visit was incredible. If this is there new normal this place will quickly ascend on my must try places. read more

The pizza and cheesesteaks are very good! My son loves the wings also. Service is ok not great but they get the job done for sure. I would recommend without a doubt. read more

This restaurant is good to stop for a drink, (bottled drink) however the quality of food isn't the best. The service is very slow and the restaurant is dirty, I had to return a glass cause it was stained and another glass cause it was chipped. read more

Staff is very snobby. Not personal , Last night first first time ever in my life. the waitress walked by placed my plate of food on the table across from where i was sitting and kept walking, i had to reach over and get my food and put it in front of myself, next, same waitress talking to her friend next table over, ignored me trying to flag her down for a drink refresh. it was very inconvenient for her , read more

I think it used to be pretty good but no longer. It's really dirty and the food we ordered (blt, cheeseburger and wings) was really disappointing. The burger was subpar. The wings were cheap and flavorless. And the blt - I think that was my fault, I don't think they sell a lot of things that require lettuce and tomato (lettuce was wilted tomato not ripe). I should have thought through ordering fresh veggies in a dive bar. For food - go somewhere else. read more

Lazy parrot always has good food and I think they have some of the best wings around and good deals on them. Check them out.

The best kind of dive bar: unpretentious; cheap drinks; delicious and greasy food; and things to do (plenty of screens, pinball, and cornhole!) Service was quick (on a Sunday evening) and there's lots of seating (though yes, some of it is sticky). read more

I can't rate the food because we never got served, but service is obviously lacking. We came around 7:30 PM on a Wednesday. Yes, they were packed and crowded. However, no one greeted us or said they would be with us in a minute. Multiple dirty tables were not ever being cleaned. We kept standing around, waiting to be seated, and nobody even acknowledged us. The inside smelled horrible, like bad grease. I understand restaurants get busy & are short-staffed, but a simple hello, please be patient, will get to you as soon as possible It Would've gone a lot further. After 20 minutes of stating around and waiting to be even acknowledged, we left. read more

Looking for a beer pub/dive bar to get a bar food fix? Look no further as that's exactly the feel you'll get here. Appetizer ordered was bacon cheese fries with yummy waffle fries which would have been great had there been some gooey cheese to enjoy rather than overcooked crispy cheese. We ordered a 25 wing platter as that was the best option for trying more than 1 sauce as you only get one sauce option for 10 wings, you also have to pay extra if you want all flats. Wings were ordered extra crispy and came out just right. Dry spice was bland with a little heat, honey BBQ was average, oddly enough it was hard to tell the difference between honey mustard and spicy golden garlic, and hot buffalo was more of a med/mild heat. Ordered a kids corn dog with fries and we were served over-fried corn dog minis so you may want to clarify if a corn dog is what you are getting. Not the best meal I've had and it was a belly buster but not in a good way. Good luck if you venture in! read more

If you want the best bang for your buck, lazy parrot is the spot to be. Happy hour prices are a steals with 1$ drafts and ridiculously cheap apps(4$). Everyday they have a special, today was a 14" pizza with a topping for 8 bucks. Beer of the day 2.90$ Service was very attentive with endearing servers making sure you have been looked after. Highly recommend checking out this place if you are in the area you will not regret it. #greatvibes read more

Forgot about leaving a review here, so let me catch up!! Overall Lazy Parrot has been a pretty solid lunch stop for me and my work force. Between all of us we have experienced a good portion of the menu. Everything from the wings (boneless and traditional), sandwiches (Hot and sweet heated & Cassie delight etc), pizza (for it's designated weekly special), their salads (chef & tender salads), some of lazys wraps/quesadillas, side items and the ribs. Lazy has great/nice sized quality bone-in wings and the boneless wings aren't bad either if you are into that. The parrot provides an endless list of sauces that anyone can pull something they like from. The wraps and sandwiches and salads are usually on point with freshness. Portion vs Prices are also a positive here. As for the ribs, these are supposed to be stellar and a staple from what I've heard (under the wings of course). Our experience is the opposite. They have been dry and overcooked with zero flavor if eaten without sauce. The ribs are one of lazy parrots weekly specials and it seems like they are cooked before hand and then reheated. Anyone that has ordered them before (including myself) did not finish or truly begin eating them... The staff from my point of view genuinely care if you have what you need and will go the extra mile to fix any issues (thanks Melissa, Peggy and others). They are enforcing mask wearing and Covid protocols. The interior/exterior are decently clean (could use a deep cleaning but not nitpicking). The men's bathrooms need attention especially since the toilet area doesn't have an operational locking handle. From what advertisements are around the restaurant LP provides great beer and wine specials and also cornhole and a self serve Bw3s style video bar game. My top notable mentions: *Hot & Sweet Heated (Add bacon & ex napkins) -Thin sliced roast beef heated and topped with provolone cheese and sweet heat. Served on a pretzel roll *Bone in wings covered in Sweet heat, Spicy golden garlic or CJs. *Tender salad with Thousand island -A bed of iceberg and romaine, cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, green peppers, croutons, cheddar and mozzarella cheese, topped with boneless wings and served with your choice of dressing. *The Fat Pig Wrap -Pork BBQ, baked beans, cole slaw, crushed potato chips and your choice of sauce. read more

Ate at Lazy Parrot 5/23/24 for lunch; service was great; food was great and portions were substantial. Was my first visit and will be returning. Atmosphere was wonderful! Don't miss the chance to visit!! Signed State Farm Lunch Gals read more

The Lazy Parrot has been a frequent visit of mine over the years, I mostly go to watch sports, but today I finally decided to review the food. I usually get the boneless wings and frys, which is a great price, it's around $11 for a whole mess of wings and frys. I usually switch up the wing sauce, today I got the jalapeño ranch, it was pretty tasty, not as spicy as I would've expected though. Overall, the food is always pretty solid, especially for the price, but... The wait for food is always so long, usually I don't like to complain about how long the food takes, but it always takes a while here. It can be completely busy or one other table in the restaurant and the food will take a while, still. Overall, The Lazy Parrot is a good spot to watch some games and get some wings, just don't expect your food to come out fast. read more

I sat at the end of the bar for at least 15 minutes without so much as being acknowledged. I watched as regular after regular get anything they needed. When a regular came in and sat down beside me, he got immediate attention from the bar tender that kept ignoring me. read more

Good wings and tons of tvs for watching football. They have tons of sauces for the wings and on Sunday they have a deal 10 for $9. We had a pleasant experience with service where our waitresses were checking on us constantly! The vibe is a beachy sports bar with lots of tvs and easy to spread out. read more

Super legit wings (extras crispy). Huge bar. Great atmosphere. Came here for lunch after not eating "good food" (bad for you) for over a year and the wings were fantastic..... read more

Great wings and rings! Everything was hot and fresh with top notch service. The choices allows everyone something to meet their flavor palette. The onion rings were very good and were plentiful. Between ordering and arrival was less than 15 minutes. I'll definitely return to try another five flavors. read more

Recently went to the Lazy Parrot just to try something different for a change. Got the cheeseburger which it was one of the best burgers I've ever eaten and the meat was seasoned very well. The waffle fries were pretty good. Tried one of the ribs and the sauce tasted excellent. They weren't kidding when they said they had the best wings in town. Their wings with the spicy garlic sauce were to die for. Would definitely go there again. Word of warning: They have a dress code. They ain't asking you to wear a suit and tie but they're asking for no sleeveless shirts and nothing in the motorcycle gang category and that's in effect regardless if you are eating in or carrying out. read more

A go to place in Charlottesville for excellent pizza and atmosphere. Food prices are reasonable, service was good. All in all I've enjoyed every time I visit. read more

A little bummed about the mimosas/champagne 86ed. Went to watch the Hokies beat up on the Hoos? and our server recommended all 5 flavors of wings and they were delicious. Got screwdrivers and beer which were fine. read more

Went there looking for a takeout and asked waitress for menu and her recommendations. We took a little bit of time deciding and when we were ready, our waitress was no longer in sight. No one else checked in on us. We had to flag someone down to say we're ready to order. Much to our surprise, we were then told that they are not doing takeout service! Why didn't our first waitress say so, instead of wasting our time looking at their menu and deciding? Why wouldn't you do takeout service when we are still in midst of the pandemic? Why did we see other customers inside the resturant have takeout containers for their food? It all doesn't make sense. Unfortunately and regrettably, because of this experience, we will never be coming back to give them a second chance. read more

Had dinner and drinks with a friend, lousy service. She even went to the bar for a refill, because they kept walking by us, only to get ignored by the person behind the bar that looked at her 3 times and wasn't doing anything else. There was a table of maybe 8 people and the servers were all over them hugging and such, guess it's who you know. read more

Hey, they have beer specials and that's nice. The outside patio section is also nice. It's just that I sort of consider LP a place known for their wings and to be honest I have not enjoyed wings there in the past few years. The flavors are not good, the last wings I got there were overcooked and tasted kinda "old". Wish Charlottesville had a decent place to get a nice pile of wings to go with a cold beer. Miss Wild Wing Cafe'. Oh yeah, BWIII sucks!!! read more

The wings were very good, neat place to hang out and chill. It was annoying trying to get one waitress attention cause they all would be in huddles talking. But other than that the chef knows what he's doing! Lots of tv to watch games and cornhole. read more

The lazy parrot has always been mediocre at best, and that might be a little too generous for this establishment. Last night me and my friends went out to spend new years together like we've been doing for the past couple of years. My one friend who has since moved to WV decided to get a beer at the bar. Everyone's ID was good to go except his because it looked suspicious for being out of state. The bartender then proceeded to take his ID to whoever was in charge and bent his valid ID in half. The cops got involved and ran his license to which no surprise it was valid. Me and my other two friends waited inside at the bar while the situation was being handled outside. The bartender then came back inside in an angry toddler like fashion and told us we had to leave. A very childish and incompetent establishment that if you have an out of state ID do not go here unless you want your personal property damaged. read more

Horrible service! We'll never go back there.. staff was very rude when I went there for the 1st time

Wings are a bit dry but the sauces are pretty good, took forever to get our check, literally asked three times and waited at least 15 mins just to get the check. Wife already went to the car with the kids. Like can you just take my money already. read more

They have the best wings in town but they never have enough staff. They have several flavors and good appetizer options. It's a shame they don't have more people to work. They don't even answer the phone most of the time but when they do they tell you they can't do takeout. Not a great family atmosphere so we need to do takeout but unfortunately we never can read more

Fun friendly environment great prices outstanding bar food with a huge selection of food and drinks. Great wings with about 30 different sauces to choose from. If you're looking for tea and crumpets, don't come here! It's a nice local bar restaurant not for Lovey and Thurston Howell the III. read more

Food is awesome!!! Love the people that work there!! Gotta go Check it out .. love the Charleston wings!!!

Didn't even go, called to see if they were open and was interrupted with a "we are not doing pick up orders" as I was stating again I was just calling to confirm they were open she hung up on me. I get it times get busy and sometimes people have bad days but this was just rude. Buffalo Wild Wings here I come. read more

I have given this place a few different attempts; however, it just doesn't do it for me. The food is low quality and the service doesn't make up for it. I typically order to go so not much to mention on the ambiance but they have been doing renovations to the place. My last comment is that the place is closed randomly and you don't find out until after you've pulled in the driveway. Prices are great but they certainly match the quality. read more

This place has the most awesome buffalo chicken nachos ever made. The other nachos are great also. My kids love the grilled cheese and the boneless wings. The beer/drink selection is excellent. Service was fast and friendly. read more

This is absolutely the WORST service ever. Food still has yet to come out after over an hour meanwhile the tables around us have gotten their second order of wings...we asked the waiter if they knew what was going on with our order (nicely btw) next thing we know the "so called manager" came over and asked us "So what's the problem over here?" Before we knew it our food came out. With one fowl swoop he ushered our food away and he said "I'm done with you people-get the F #*k out of here!!!!" NEVER AGAIN. read more

My sister and I stopped in randomly and were so delighted to find an inviting atmosphere and a HUGE selection of food. Don't even get me started on the sauces dude. Soooooo many!!!! I had the spicy golden garlic and I'm hooked! Our server Melissa was also just the absolute best. Definitely will be coming back! read more

The place has the best wings in town, a flavor for every palette. It's not fancy, and if that's what you want, well, I'm sad for you. The food is worth it. read more

We visited the area a few days ago during a short weekend trip from Florida. The wait was a bit long but with only two waitresses on duty it was great service. She took our order for a party of four without writing it down and everything came to a perfection. After driving 34 minutes to our cabin I realized I left my purse. Drove back and the waitresses were happy to see me and told me they stored the purse in the back. Once it was brought to me they told me to please check that everything was in there. I blessed them with a tip and initially the girl pushed the bill back say she couldn't. I told them, yes!, God is good! Please split it. Her eyes tested up and she asked for a hug. You never know what people are going through and it's nice that there's still good in this world. I was able to drive 12 hrs back home the next day stress free that I had a credit card for gas and a license. read more

While their wings are good. Their service stinks. Even after tipping over 30% they made me wait and wait and wait. Will probable go to Buffalo wild wings or Wild wings instead read more
