What a fantastic find! I have lived in Tucson for 27 years, and just discovered this place. What a loss for me! Had the shrimp and grits which were absolutely awesome. The grilled oysters were perfect, although my dinner mate thought they were a bit spicy. The watermelon and pork belly salad was an incredible combination. Juicy chunks of pork belly with lots of meat attached, and the cooling watermelon to set it off. A brilliant combination. The service was spot on - we arrived early but they seated us within a few minutes. Very accommodating and friendly staff. The whole vibe was friendly and welcoming. After all these years, I will be going back, and back, and back...! read more

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. read more

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! read more

Tasty food and great service! Loved the dark decor upon entering! Ample seating both in and out.... And busy! As a frequent solo traveler, I'm used to getting seated at the bar. And usually the service is ok. But here, the service was outstanding. I strolled in after a hike thirsty and hungry. This bartender was diligent in keeping that sparkling water flowing. She's a gem. Dinner was trout and it was delicious. Perfectly cooked. Sides were great, too. 10/10. I'll definitely be back and will be sharing this spot with my coworkers. read more

The Parish - Trout.... So tasty! - Gastropubs Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

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. read more

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. read more

I haven't been here in years, but we went there today for lunch, and it was so good! The oyster po-boy and hush puppies were perfect. My husband loved his Nashville hot chicken sandwich and the side salad. I had a bite too and it was crazy spicy, but yum! Love the decor-very New Orleans! Made me want to go on a trip. The service was really good too-our server kept that Diet Coke coming. read more

Such a great experience here last night! Food service and the atmosphere here is so solid. We had edamame and the chile relano app and then we each had the drunken angel pasta... omg this was so good, not too heavy or overbearing, honestly delicious. Next time I'm going to get the chicken as the couple next to us said it was too die for. I'd also try to Brussels sprouts next time and the shrimp and grits dish looked incredible. Definite gem, very understated. 5 stars would definitely go back read more

Still a 10/10. The service is the best, the food is incredible. I tried the mussels for the first time and they were fresh, bursting with flavor, and the portion size was huge. I also got my favorite meal there, shrimp and grits, and learned you can split it between 2 plates and each person gets a full size of collards. There are very few tables so make a reservation because they're almost always booked up. read more

I lived in the south for a couple of years and, by far this is the closet southern food, I found in Southern AZ. The oysters were season and cooked perfectly, and they had crystals hot sauce. The food was flavorful yet it felt like an adventure, with every bite. We got mocktails (amazing), shrimp and grits, gumbo and the burger, all of which were out of this world. Service was great, Laura recommendations were on point. The Parish feels and looks like a New Orleans restaurant. Definitely a great find in AZ, and a must go. read more

Once again, a fantastic experience at The Parish! We went to celebrate my husband's birthday with friends and family and everyone was so happy with the atmosphere and the exceptional food and cocktails. The service is top rate.

The Shrimp & Grits is delicious, added with the greens and I was highly impressed and enjoyed it. The sausage was stated to be andouille however I'm not so sure about them... the added addition of the sausage on the back side of the plate doesn't offer a visual appearance, as I was thinking they would be cooked with the S&G not just added on the back. The cup of Gumbo was not my favorite, however I have never like filé which is why opted for the cup. Service was a little slow as I sat for about 5-10 minutes without being approached or even serviced. Seems like the waitress either had too much on her plate at the time or needs help. read more

We came here to celebrate my husband's birthday and it was just what we wanted! I made a reservation a few days before so we were seated promptly on a Friday night! Our drinks were perfect. I got the Mrs. KC mule, and my husband got a Sazerac and the specialty drink that was Tucson City of Gastronomy certified. All of them were fantastic! For dinner, we had the cornbread and frog legs as appetizers, and my husband got the parish burger. All of our items were delicious! The cornbread was some of the best I had ever had. I had the mesquite salmon salad and like other reviewers have said, it was some of the best salad I've had in Tucson! The decor and ambiance really added to the food as well. We will be back! read more

Moved to Tucson and was looking for a good spot to celebrate selling my house. This place is adorable. Love the decor, casual vibe and excellent food. Service is top notch. Had the steak and frites and it was cooked medium rare like I asked and was delicious. The hand cut fries are fantastic and fresh. The shrimp and cheese grits was savory and comfort food at its finest. Wasn't a fan of the bread pudding but enjoyed every last crumb of the berry pie. The blue corn bread is moist and cooked and served in a cast iron skillet. Loved that with the cinnamon honey butter. It paired nicely. Had the frog legs and they were good. The Parish burger with the red onion marmalade is flavorful and I find myself craving it. Can't wait to go back! 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

Our server was awesome. I'm absolutely terrible with name--20's long brown hair, no glasses...Anyway. We started off with the cornbread appetizer but I would have preferred it for dessert. Warm, sweet, blue corn served with a dollop of whipped honey butter with just tiny hint of heat. I would have liked to try the brussels sprouts or the frog legs but in a democracy, I lost.My friend ordered the Sugar Hi which he enjoyed very much--beer is my idea of an acceptable beverage so I did not get near it. My catfish was so excellent. Our server recommended it as I'm not a spicy food person and I don't do shrimp. I swapped my fries for collard greens and they were very good a 4 out of 5. The remainder of the citizens enjoyed the Watermelon Salad and Shrimp and Grits--they enjoyed the Watermelon Salad immensely. Coffee and pickle berry pie for dessert. The coffee was dark, strong with a hint of chicory? It was good and authentic. Definitely a culinary adventure. 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

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

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

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

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

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.

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
