You'll find The Parish in an indistinct strip center off of Oracle Rd. It seems to be our first and only Southern fusion gastropub that's pleasing palates all over Tucson. The atmosphere is funky and the interior is somewhat mixed, but somehow it works. The drinks are creative and bold and pretty much EVERYTHING on the menu has a major kick to it. I think the peeps at The Parish are doing things right for sure. They have fun with the menu and with the flavors. This style of food, however, is not my personal favorite and not really something I could eat on a regular basis. The bacon popcorn is second to none. Holy bacon bits. It's delicious. I couldn't stop eating it. I've never had southern cuisine, so I have nothing to compare it to, but diners at our table, who have traveled to New Orleans many times, were pleased. read more

I lived in New Orleans for 34 years and I've eaten in this place a number of times. The problem with transporting that type of food is the ingredients are simply not available at the price and quality they are in New Orleans. So for instance, a New Orleans shrimp poor boy literally has shrimp overflowing out of the bread loaf. To do the same in Tucson you'd have to price the poorboy about thirty-five bucks, which obviously won't work. And that's why New Orleans food has never really translated. All that being said, what has translated is the high quality of cooking one finds in New Orleans which this restaurant certainly seeks to uphold. It's also very successful bar and has many special events featuring barbecue etc.. read more

I love all their food! The atmosphere is amazing. I would consider this a MUST for places to eat in Tucson.

We went here for the first time Saturday. That wait was about 15 minutes which wasn't bad on a Saturday at 6:30. The items in the menu are perfect portions. There were a few of us so we ordered the following. The food was to die for and I'll return a million more times. Steak and Frittes- the sauce on the steak was to die for. The steak cooked perfect to my friends liking. Oysters on a half shell app- only three cAme for the price of $9.00 so I was a bit weary but the size of these made up for it and would equal 6 oysters at other restaurants. Parish burger- looked great and my friend who ordered it said it was wonderful. Goat cheese Relleno- I wanted 10 more after I tasted this. Shrimp and grits- the take on this was so different and tasty. read more

The bacon wrapped frog legs are AMAZING!!! Definitely recommend the fog legs! Very homey New Orleans feel inside too!

The vibe, the decor, the service, and the originality were great. Very good beer. Ok food. I would go again. read more

I love the parish all 3 times we have there the service has been amazing. There's nothing to hate here. The place itself is so cool and gothic and dark. Just walking in you are taken in by the art on the walls and the voodoo theme bar. The food has been great everytime as well , specially the fries, order anything and get fries. The service is so good and everyone is on their game and treats you good. We have been there on a jampacked Saturday night and on a early Sunday and still get the same great service. Now as for the main reason I go there...the drinks. The drinks are top notch. Their menu is like no other because they use so many of their infusions. The drinks are really good and I like that they will make you anything you can imagine using one of their crazy infusions. It's always a good time here and I highly recommend this place for brunch,lunch ,dinner or just drinks. read more

Everything was great. Everything was delicious! I am so glad we got to try this place in tucson. You can tell the staff and kitchen cares about their food and are so proud of what they are doing. One of Tucson's gems! Food was very flavorful. Everything we ordered was delicious. They seriously had he best collard greens I've ever had in my life!! Their patio is dog friendly. read more

Its Friday night, dinner with a friend! Yay!! It was a 30-35 minute wait when I arrived at 7. Waited for my friend to arrive and we ordered cocktails from the full bar... I am not sure how long the wait was, but I didn't finish my cocktail before we were seated. I had the Dirty Well Water. It is good. I am on a gin kick lately and it hit the spot. We started with the frog legs. They were not bad, but almost too much bacon! Say What!! Yeah, I know, I said it. Almost too much bacon. It was wrapped around the leg, and ended up kind of coming off when you went to eat and/or dip in the sauce. It was good, but I think I like the hush puppies better (had on a previous better). The sauce it came with was very good. Tonight I went with the mesquite salmon salad. The salad was a very good size, the candied pecans were very tasty, and the mesquite salmon was good too. But here is my problem. The salmon came already pulled apart and mixed in the salad. I wish it had been served whole on top of the salad. That is my one complaint. The dressing was sweet and was actually barely needed. And they served it on the side without asking! THANK YOU! The service overall was fantastic. Our waitress was attentive, and our water was always full, as well as our cocktails. The manager came by to check on us, and all went well. A very good evening... I'll be back again... read more

Went here for a birthday night out. If you have a group of 6+ you can reserve their semi private room. We came here around Halloween and the decoration is on point! The food was surprisingly delicious. Give them a try, it was a fun night of drinks and food. read more

This has been on my To Try list for some time now. Finally had a chance to eat out without the kids. I knew they would not be able to find something to eat here after viewing their online menu. And I think children are just too picky of eaters to really enjoy restaurant food. I had looked at the online menu several times and knew they had a shrimp po-boy for lunch. I specifically came here just for that. I was not disappointed. It did remind me of when I lived in New Orleans for over two decades. The French bread was very fresh. I prefer the tails of the shrimp pinched off but the cornmeal breading was light and tasty. However, I also ordered a side of gumbo ($2 extra ) and the horseradish overwhelmed it so much I could not eat it. If you are reading this managers, authentic creole cooking has no hot spices. Bottles of hot sauce are placed on the table (there were none at this establishment) so the customers can spice up a dish to their liking. Making something automatically spicy excludes a portion of your customers so that they cannot enjoy these menu selections. My wife ordered the World's Crispiest Fish n Chips. Her plate came full of seasoned fries with a crispy fish filet placed nicely on top. Since they advertise that the fish is the crispiest in the world, she was anxious to put it to the test. Her fish was light, crispy and she could tell it was freshly out of the fryer. The tarter sauce served with it appeared to be homemade and matched up to the fish perfectly. The fries were the standard fare but she is not really a fan of seasoned fries so you may enjoy them more than she did. She thought the price was a little steep for lunch ($11.00) but she would order again. She wishs it would have come with coleslaw or a small side salad. read more

I would give this place 5 stars for The Dirty alone (infused pickle vodka, brined pickle garnish & olive juice) but oh, then they just HAVE to go and outdo themselves with great service, bacon popcorn, empanadas (pimpanadas), bacon wrapped frog legs... and this was all before we even got to the main course! My parents were in town this weekend, and the boyfriend & I wanted to impress them with some of Tucson's best eats, so we thought The Parish could do the trick, and it did! So with that said, back to the important stuff, THE FOOD. I had the Big Hippie (roasted eggplant sandwich with pomegranate ketchup...can this place read my tastebuds' mind?!) Erik had the Drunken Angel (angel hair pasta, lobster broth, shrimp, crawfish, red pepper cream sauce... you get the picture goodness on goodness on goodness). My parents opted for the Gumbo and the Shrimp & Grits... I mean, can't go wrong with that! We all left with smiling bellies. My ONLY complaint about this place is that their tables are WAY too small (yes, I know, it seems as though we got an excessive amount of food... but even with a "normal" amount they would still be lacking.) But alas, Parish, your tiny tables won't keep me away for long! read more

Service is usually good. Our last waiter wasn't attentive at all. He never told us about the specials, but then later recited them for the table next to us. We had to hunt him down for drinks because he never checked with us after he gave us our meal. He was more interested in serving his friends next to us. Oh well. This experience was not the norm though. The food is great. Shrimp and grits is my favorite. The portions are for very hungry people, so don't snack before you go there. Atmosphere is fantastic. read more

Didn't really want to share the hidden gem that I found looking for something new and different in the Tucson food scene, but The Parish deserves the acknowledgment. Food has been on point with each visit. read more

Always a fantastic place for dinner with cool ambiance. Lots of entree choices and unique mixed drinks.

Better come here at off hours.. It gets pretty crowded. However, the servers are hopping and really on the job. Not really Southern cooking, the small menu is better-described as Southern-inspired. I got the Parish burger, one of the few pre-made burger offerings I'd ever seen that I liked. ANd a cup of gumbo, which was genuinely gumbo-like, without being too bitter. The pork rinds appetizer is vastly more expensive than the stuff you buy at a grocer's in a bag. It is, however, also vastly fresher. NOTE: I took this down from 5 stars to 3 - because the food was still good - when I received my credit card bill and discovered that the restaurant had without notice decided to increase my tip. Not by enough to make it worthwhile for me to contest the charge with my credit card company, but even if the tip is chintzy, which I don't believe mine was, you don't get to change it unilaterally. If I ever return here, which I probably won't, I'll pay by cash only, and if they don't like my tip now, they'll really dislike what I'll leave them then. read more

3.5 stars rounded up! we weren't in love with the Parish but they do have some solid dishes ---la verdad cocktail: kinda acidic but pretty lacking in alcohol ---fish n chips: nice, light, crispy crust on the fish! fries were also good ---drunken angel pasta: love the loads of seafood in the dish but the pasta sauce had an odd taste i couldn't get over ---gumbo: spicy sausage! comes w/ a scoop of rice on top & corn hush puppies. i liked the hush puppies BUT the gumbo was nothing too special ---pimpinadas: not a fan of the combination of flavors here, a play on sweet & salty with a KICK of spicy ---goat cheese relleno: a nice appetizer, but not an easy one to share ---pecan smoked ruby red trout: comes w/ candied pecans, carmelized onions, roasted garlic, & toast...the trout was just ok but i liked the onions & pecans! Our server was really nice & let us have a big private room for our friend's bday even though there were only 5 of us NOTE: no cake cutting fee, SCORE! read more

The drinks were above average. The drunken noodles were pretty good. The "award winning" burger was horrible. Requested medium rare and got well done. I'm not sure what they were trying to do with the burger but the flavors do not work. read more

Everything was way beyond our expectations! Amazing food and great ambiance. Would definitely recommend. Per other reviews I ordered the drunken angel and would have to say one of my 5 best dinners ever!! read more

Excellent flavors and seasonings in all their dishes! The pork belly on the water melon salad was like candy.

We are travelling between North Texas and Phoenix so ended up in Tucson for the evening. Checked yelp and found the Parish. Good reviews and the menu looked great. Met at the door, service was great all around. Seated immediately, server approached within one minute of us sitting down. Took drink orders and offered help with the menu. Her recommendation to me for the Drunken Angel was accepted and the Wife had the "crispiest" fish and chips in the world, so the menu says. Drinks arrived quickly, accurately and cold. Tasted great too. Ordered the Chicharron app; fried pig skin with chili and lime. Fresh, hot chicharrons are fantastic and taste nothing like the bag you buy at the grocery store. Crispy, salty and fresh, great alone but much better with the chili and lime. Even the Wife loved them. Her fish and chips were very crispy, tasted great and she said the tartar sauce was the best she ever had. The hand cut fries were crispy with a soft center, the best way for any fries. My Drunken Angel was a superb dish; Burgundy angel hair pasta with shrimp and crawfish in a lobster red pepper cream sauce and fresh parmesan on top. Rich, perfectly seasoned and taste beyond normal. I thoroughly enjoyed every bite. Try this one, it is worth the med/high pricing. read more

My wife and I like this place. The food is good. The food is a little different than other places we eat at and that is part of the charm. The workers are attentive and the drinks are very good. The place it's self is pretty cool. read more

So this place used to be the Game On Sports Grille. It was taken over by the new owners in August and will have a grand opening in December. It is open now, it is just not necessarily complete in terms of decoration and design. I had never been to Game On, so I have no idea how it compares. The Parish is a southern take on the gastropub. Their "construction" menu is an interesting mix of Louisiana inspired cooking and traditional pub food. There are frog legs, gumbo, fish and chips, burgers, wings. The menu is only one page but it covers a lot of ground. I went there last night after hearing about it through Tucson Foodie and the Tucson Citizen. When I walked in the bar was pretty busy but I found a seat. The staff was friendly and the service was great. I perused the menu and ended up ordering the bacon popcorn to start. It was excellent. It's bacon-y, it is spiced to perfection and tastes amazing with the Abita Amber. For my main dish I ordered the shrimp Po Boy. When they brought it out I knew I was in trouble. The sandwich was huge. It is filled with crispy, yet succulent, fried shrimp. It was amazingly tasty but my eyes were definitely bigger than my stomach! Luckily they have no problem boxing it up for you. The fries are hand cut and fried to perfection. They have a relatively modest beer list (compared to Noble Hops or Union) but they do make their own liquor infusions such as, cinnamon bourbon, cucumber gin and basil vodka. The place has a variety of seating options, along with patio seating and an area for large groups. The interior, as it stands, has potential and will be fun and unique when it is finished. The place was a complete surprise, especially for one that hasn't been advertised to death. I'm definitely going again. I love that it is close to where I work and I can easily go there to unwind after a hard day. I went in without expectations and came out feeling satisfied and shocked that the word hadn't been spread. Maybe it supposed to be secret...and if it is you didn't hear about it from me! read more

Went to the Parish for the first time last night and we were quite impressed! The atmosphere was very cozy, and fun at the same time! A little live music on Sunday night and a nice variety of beer and wine, as well as craft drinks available! Our server-grrr I'm so bad, I think her name was Lexi? Was AWESOME! Very welcoming and happy, and seemed to enjoy her job! She was able to provide suggestions on the beers on tap, as well as favorites on the menu! My husband and I went with the Drunken Angel, a delicious crawfish and shrimp pasta dish, and the Quail-which were both cooked to perfection and full of flavor! Although we didn't have room for dessert they offered a beignet that we couldn't pass up! They came with 6 in a batch, we each ate one and took the rest home-they were delightful! We look forward to being regulars at the Parish! read more

Really tasty and most dishes deliver. Love the drunken angel pasta and bacon popcorn. Good drinks. Friendly service. Only reason for less than 5 stars is limited vegetarian options and the one dish my dining partner got was just weird and not that good. But their core menu rocks and we will go back! read more

I was excited to try this place after reading the reviews. We convinced our friends who live on the far east side of town that it would be worth the drive to meet us here. It wasn't. We arrived on a Friday night at 5pm and the place was busy. We got the last table available on the patio. We tell our server that we are hungry but most importantly we are thirsty and when she sees our glasses half empty, to bring us another round! I would have thought she would have a vision "Wow, I will be getting a big tip from this table as they are planning on spending $$$ drinking and eating!" but sorry to say this was not her vision, only our broken dream. We had to flag her down to get drinks, to order food, to order more drinks, to order more food, to order more drinks and more drinks and....well you get the picture. We noticed the waitstaff were not wearing uniforms - this really bugs me as when a place is busy, you don't know who works there and who doesn't. Why would a business owner not want their staff to be in a uniform (or uniformally dressed i.e. all in black)? Geez, it's cheap to at least get t-shirts with your name on them for your employees! We ordered appetizers - hush puppies with crawfish, bacon popcorn, french fries, chicken wings, and the pretzel. The hush puppies were amazing and served with this yummy sauce to dip them in - so far so good! The french fries were some of the best any of had ever had! The pretzel was just okay, not worth writing home about. The bacon popcorn was good, not great. The chicken wings were just inedible. We ordered our dinners - the guys ordered the fish and chips and the gals ordered the spicy pork sandwich. I chose hush puppies (for $1.00 extra) instead of fries because I loved them so much. Our dinners arrive and the first thing we notice is the guys fish & chips plates. None of us have ever been to a restaurant, ordered fish and chips and receive 1 PIECE OF FISH!!! Come on, 1 piece of fish!!!!!????? The menu states "worlds crispiest fish" and they got that right - this fish was so over cooked that it died several times. We are still shaking our heads over receiving 1 piece of fish! A friend of mine ate there a week later and had the same thing happen to him so this is their normal portion! Our pork sandwiches looked and tasted very good. However, my hush puppies did not have the yummy sauce that we received with the appetizer order of hush puppies. The owner stops by and I inquire about the sauce only to be told "the sauce only comes with the appetizer order". I ask if I can have some of the sauce and it seemed to be a big imposition asking for more of this sauce ( must have been a shortage) but several minutes later I did receive a thimble full of sauce. I am happy to have this sauce until we get the bill and WOW - they charged us $2.00 for the thimble of sauce!!! Are you kidding me??? We had a lot of sauce left over from our appetizer order and had I known that it wouldn't come with my dinner and I would be charged for extra, we would have kept the sauce. read more

Have been wanting to try this place for a while. Finally got the chance to go with a friend for lunch. Thinking I was going to order the Gumbo... after hearing the waiters recommendations I ordered the grits and shrimp, NOT something I would usually order. But, it was DELICIOUS! My new favorite Tucson eatery. Next time I will force myself to order something else... eventually making it through the list. read more

I feel like I stepped into New Orleans! It has that Victorian/voodoo look going on! The bar is definitely the highlight of the place, on the shelves are Mason jars filled with their 'house infused' spirits. So cool looking!!!! The 'hand-crafted cocktails' are amazing! And the food is to die for! We started with the hush puppies, that has shrimp mixed in them, followed by the shrimp po boy and the angel hair pasta...I definitely recommend the angel hair pasta dish!!! Ever thing here was fantastic! I highly recommend trying it out, you won't be disappointed read more

Not that good.......I took my son from TX out there and his family $150 and no 9ne was wowed on the food waitress was rude....

I have only been there once but the food was good. I need to go back again. I have heard great reviews.

Absolutely excellent! Hush puppies are spectacular, and the Hell in a Handbasket is delicious! The gentleman who took care of us was lovely, and with great enthusiasm, shared his sweet recommendations! read more

I do believe I fell in love today!! My new food crush: The Parish...where have you been all my life? I'm sad to see a couple of lack luster reviews because that wasn't my experience at all. My husband and I enjoyed the the atmosphere, the service and most certainly the food. The atmosphere is adorable...girl speak, I know. But the bright colors, chandelier in the cozy cabana area and the obvious New Orleans theme is quite lovely and it really makes for a relaxing experience. We were torn on what to get so we ordered a couple of things to share. I ordered the gumbo and hush puppies and the hubs ordered the fish and chips. I have not one bad thing to say about an of the food. The gumbo was perfect. Normally it will be over-spiced but this was done very well and coupled with the crispy, golden hush puppies, made for a warming meal on a windy afternoon. My husband ordered the fish and chips which is one of my all-time favorite meals and so hard for me to resist. The fish was absolutely excellent. I was a bit surprised they chose to use Tilapia over Cod but it certainly didn't hurt the meal and the fries were to-die-for. One of these days I will have to make a list dedicated to french fries and The Parish will rank up there somewhere at the top! I forgot to mention that I also ordered a Bloody Mary that was done very well, with horseradish I might add! And their drink menu is quite impressive with their homemade infused liquors and very unique drink combinations. It looks like they're in the running for most excellent drink menu with some of the better mixology places in town! Our waitress was totally on top of things, very friendly and accommodating and was able to fill us in on upcoming events at the Parish including a big Mardi Gras fest! I do believe I will be there!! I honestly can't wait to go back and try more of their food. It's spectacular! read more

I came here because a lot of Yelpers whom I trust have said great things about it. I have to say that it did not disappoint ... The menu was super fun...the decor is very interesting and you can tell there was thought put into it... There are painting from local artists on the walls that are way out of my price range but look nice and feel like they belong there... The music in The Parish makes ya feel like you are in the French quarter of New Orleans ... The are do many interesting things on the menu from mussels to frog legs to southern edamame. Everything has a little kick to it do the turkey and gravy crowd may have trouble... This is a neat place all the way around.. Perfect for a date but still kid friendly earlier during lunch or during the work week... read more
