We got there at the perfect time so it was only a few minutes wait. Kaitlin was very friendly with excellent recommendations. The special was redfish with popcorn rice and crawfish ettoufee and tobacco onions on top. It was superb!! Fresh bread in a bag and real butter topped off the meal. Would have liked a salad with it and had wanted to try the crawfish bread as it had been highly recommended. Will be back if in the area again.

AMAZING!!!!
Oh my gosh! I live 45 min away and this restaurant is worth the drive!
I went with some friends and we ordered bbq shrimp, seafood bread, and charbroiled oysters for appetizers. All amazing!
My entree was the catfish with grits. The portion was enough for two people. The grits were sweet but worked with the savory sauce, fried onions, and fried catfish.
The desserts- bread pudding, chocolate mousse cake, and creme brulee- perfect ending to a meal.

What a pleasant surprise of a restaurant! I had been craving oysters and this placed just so happened to be a two minute drive away.
We showed up in the middle of the Friday night dinner rush. Wait time wasn't bad at all at around 20 minutes after the stated 30 minute wait time. The dining room had a nice atmosphere with a lots of seating available for tons of different party sizes.
The oysters were small/midsized and were good. We ordered the gulf shrimp and grits and the crab-stuffed tilapia. Portions were very nice. The food was excellent!
Service was quick and friendly and I believe the chef or owner came around to all the tables to chit chat. Pretty cool experience and I'd definitely go again.

My wife and I had dinner here after a recommendation from a local. We both ordered the tenderloin and if my momma was here she woulda got slapped! Cooked perfectly and complimented with the crispy green beans and the flavorful mashed potatoes, I just don't feel like 5 stars really justifies what we ate!

I wish I had a review of everything on the menu, but alas, a belly is only so big. Jumbo shrimp is excellent; its light breading and perfect seasoning allows one to enjoy the shrimp as God intended. Oddly, I must compliment the salad chef on the simply divine romaine salad as well. Chargrilled oysters were great, broiled catfish was perfectly seasoned. The shrimp and grits looked lovely as it passed to the next table. Good portions, great service, and the atmosphere is nice while maintaining an authentic bayou feel (not too fancy). Can’t wait to come back!

Everything about our visit was absolutely fantastic. I ordered the catfish and grits with the crawfish cream sauce, and it was by far some of the best food I have ever had. The flavors were rich and perfectly balanced, and I added a side of coleslaw that was fresh and delicious. For our appetizer, we chose the crawfish stuffed bread, and it was perfect, very flavorful with just the right amount of spice. We also ordered the parmesan char broiled oysters, and they were absolutely delicious. On top of that, they were shucking oysters fresh right there, just like they do in New Orleans, and I absolutely loved that.
One thing I noticed was a sign on the wall for Brennan’s in New Orleans on Royal Street. If there is any affiliation at all, it makes complete sense, because my husband and I have visited Brennan’s many times on different anniversary trips, and the quality and flavor here felt right in line with that level of excellence.
Shout out to the pizza guy from Oxford, Mississippi for posting multiple honest reviews about how delicious this place is. We have passed by The Parrish many times and never thought to give it a chance, but after coming across his review, we decided to try it, and I am so glad we did.
The staff was extremely friendly, professional, and down to earth. The restaurant was clean, easy to find, and the service was quick without feeling rushed. We highly recommend this place to our friends, and we will definitely be back. This is not a place you want to miss out on.

Neat place, nice Cajun options. 2 local draft beers. We had the BBQ shrimp and Gumbo.
The Gumbo was excellent, super dark roux and full of flavor. The BBQ shrimp, was also good, I'd say 4 of 5.
Only beer and wine. Feels expensive for Mississippi.

STUDFED FLOUNDER was expertly prepared, pan-seared in butter, and served with green beans. The cooking was precise, resulting in a flavorful dish that was neither overcooked nor undercooked. And the fresh greens beans add yo a great meal!
GUMBO
My husband thoroughly enjoyed the gumbo, proclaiming it the best he's ever tasted outside of New Orleans or his mother's kitchen on this side of the Sip. And everywhere we go, if it's on the menu, He tries it so, he would absolutely know! It received an exceptional rating; the okra, shrimp, and sausage were prominent, and it appeared to contain crab as well.
CRAWFISH BREAD was excellent, rich in cheese, and generously filled with crawfish. While it contained an excessive amount of cream cheese, it remained highly palatable. The abundance of cream cheese did not detract from its overall quality.
CRAB CAKE AND GARLIC MASH were both satisfactory. The stuffed crab was also excellent; crab aficionados will be pleased. Furthermore, the portion size was generous. It significantly surpassed Papadueax in quality.
The hushpuppies are freshly made, taste excellent, and are not greasy..
COLESLAW COLESLAW COLESLAW COLESLAW: That's all I can say!!! They mastered this ! Oh, and for you ice junkies!!! They have the good ice . 😂
The only thing we didn't get was the bread pudding because they were sold out. We will definitely be returning. I can't believe i didn't know about this place sooner! My whole timeline will know about this!!!
Bread pudding the only thing I can say is DO NOT SKIP THIS DESERT

I was in town for business. Quick search for lunch spots in the area led me to The Parish and I’m glad I made it. Very unassuming place in a small strip center. Hostess led me to my table and the waitress was right there taking my drink order and making a few suggestions. I had my eye on the shrimp poor boy. Their version is a little different from what I’m used to. Their dressed includes lettuce, mayo, pickles and ketchup. Never had ketchup on my po-boy before. There is no tomato. I decided to go dressed minus the lettuce with potato salad as the side. Meal came out w/in 10 minutes. The sandwich was packed with fried shrimp. No skimping on this. It was very tasty and held up well. As good as the po-boy was the potato salad was the star. It was probably the best potato salad I have had and I have had a lot. Great flavor and potatoes cooked perfectly. All in with drink it was just under $20. There is a small bar area on one side of the restaurant. I didn’t make it over there. Overall, it was a great lunch with very friendly and speedy service. I would for sure come back to try some of the other options.

In fact, probably the best gumbo I’ve ever had. The shrimp was top notch as well. French fries were also super good.
The prices were reasonable too.
10/10 recommend. I’ll be back soon to try more of the menu.

You can see the owner/ manager walking around making sure the staff are doing their jobs, making sure things are clean and orderly. I even saw him pick up a leaf off the ground just to keep it looking nice. Everyone speaks and is so friendly. It has quickly become one of our favorite places. We will drive up from Batesville just to eat there! Job well done!

Wife got the fried shrimp an they were large and perfectly fried. she said it was just like the 1s we get at the beach. I got the frog legs, which were great. Also the blackened flounder which was ok just would have preferred grouper or redfish were offered but they weren't. Our server was attentive and speedy. I would recomend going early to eat because its small and good there ate lots of people going.

Listen. I KNOW… you are from the REAL PLACES that make TRUE South Louisiana food. I personally won’t order “Cajun” “creole” or “N’Awlins” ANYTHING north of I-10 and nobody south of I-10 describes their food that way… it’s Ya Mama’s red beans not “creole” red beans.
No hesitation— BEST Po-Boy North of I-10 Hands down. I had ½ Shrimp & ½ Oyster, dressed, extra mayo (brought Hellman’s bottle to table!! #winning) add Tomato and no ketchup (that was on the menu- hey it’s Mississippi so I get it…). ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ unreal… oysters were succulent and shrimp were perfect, lettuce and tomato mayonnaise slurry will remind you of Pirates Cove In Pass Christian or Deannie’s (old Bucktown version) or Frankie & Johnie’s…

Honestly, I wish I had more backbone and demanded recompense when I was there. I politely asked if they deveined the shrimp and was told they do, low and behold, halfway through the meal I find a shrimp that CLEARLY had no been deveined and had its fecal tract entirely ignore. Yes, that dark black vein full of shrimp poop was VERY CLEARLY STILL THERE
I attempted to speak to a waitress and a manager, who both INSISTED the shrimp had been deveined, and that the DARK BLACK LINE PERFECTLY DOWN THE BACK OF THE SHRIMP was just seasoning...wow
Then chef then is sent out to argue with me about what kind of shrimp is served, and literally showed me fully intact shrimp, digestive tract STILL INSIDE and insisted that it was deveined
THIS PLACE DOES NOT REMOVE THE DIGESTIVE TRACT IN ITS SHRIMP, THEY LEAVE THE FECAL MATTER INSIDE, DO NO BELIEVE THEM WHEN THEY CLAIM OTHERWISE

Well….. where do I begin. The restaurant was so cold my wife had to get her 2nd coat out of the car. The grilled oysters were tiny. For $28, they were way overpriced. The stuffed grouper was dry and bland. The french fries were actually very good as well as the spicy potatoes. It’s sad a restaurant’s best food are the starches. The blackened shrimp were very good. As far as service, my server was very young and inattentive. She might have come to the table 5 times in 2 hours. She never refilled our water. My son’s drink was empty at the end of the meal. At the end of the meal she was very rude. I still tipped her regardless of the poor service we received. I will think twice about coming back to this restaurant.

The few times we've been here, there is a line of folks waiting...but well worth it. Tonight was no exception. We came for the oysters but by the time we got a table and ordered, they didn't have a dozen left. But they had 5 left and the owner came to our table and offered them to us - free of charge. We hadn't even complained. Great ownership. He was there the entire time trying to make things run smoothly. High-5 to that guy, along with our sweet waitress and the hostesses. They have great patience. I hope The Parish can get a larger (or 2nd) location in the near future because they are succeeding. Oh, and the oysters were delicious!! The horseradish was the bomb!! Spicy 👌 Blackened grouper was cooked perfect.

At least twice the manager stood by our table to have loud conversations with other patrons across the room so speaking with the person I was there with was difficult. During one of those conversations the manager nearly smacked me in the head with his elbow because he was so close and didn't even acknowledge that he nearly hit me.

When I told her I was not told that, she blew me off and said. I'll let the hostess that we don't do to go orders after 6. 10 minutes after 6. I can tell you they won't have to worry about me bothering them again. I could understand if it had been 30 minutes or an hour, but ten minutes.

We went just a little after they opened so it wasn't terribly busy, like a Friday evening would be. They gave us a small loaf of French bread to start, which was really flaky and made a mess lol and a side of butter that was rock hard, almost impossible to spread without ripping holes in the bread 😅
We had a few appetizers to share, which were ok, nothing special. I had the stuffed grouper, which was really good with green beans and a side of slaw. My daughter had chicken fingers (which were huge and yummy) with a side of fries and the others at our table seemed to be satisfied with their entrées.
Our waitress wasn't really attentive and we were having to wave her down for refills and extra napkins and such, which I'm sure got annoying with a group of 6! She did manage to come around once without being asked, which was to pick up the check 😮💨
Some items were overpriced, considering the portions sizes, like $17 for 2 "Jumbo" crab cakes, which were actually pretty small!
It's a nice enough place to try, especially in Hernando, but I'd like to see what other seafood places we can find.

My daughter had chicken fingers (which were huge and yummy) with a side of fries and the others at our table seemed to be satisfied with their entrées.
Our waitress wasn't really attentive and we were having to wave her down for refills and extra napkins and such, which I'm sure got annoying with a group of 6! She did manage to come around once without being asked, which was to pick up the check 😮💨
Some items were overpriced, considering the portions sizes, like $17 for 2 "Jumbo" crab cakes, which were actually pretty small!

So - I’m no psycho like the shrimp person below. However, I am typically pretty critical of local Hernando restaurants and their crap pre-frozen or generally awful meals. So trust me when I say this place is #1 in Hernando. And the best part for me is how everything always tastes fresh. Always. From the salad to the fish or oysters. My wife and I have had countless items on the menu, including Crème Brûlée . This place has a chef who knows what they are doing. Very rare for everything to not be perfect here. It’s well worth the price. And extra props for the fact that the owner seems to be there nearly every time we visit working hard and managing. Nothing but love from my wife and I for this place.

You will not be disappointed coming here. If you have to wait, it is worth it. Great food. We had a dozen oysters, the crab claws with a side of rice, and the stuffed crabs. There only thing that I would advise is when you shuck the oysters clean the blade before clearing the oyster. Several of them had alot of shells in the oysters. But that is a small thing. Give stars!

We are a small company out of Memphis. My team was bidding some work in Hernando that turned out to take a bit longer than expected. We figured we’d grab a late lunch before heading back to Memphis. A quick call to local friend, and we were recommended to try this place out. Having tried it, I’d say it’s worth driving from Memphis for. Everything was great. Maybe it’s because I’m used to “dealing” with memphis. But I can honestly say this is the best food and service I’ve experienced in years!

Attention all travelers, diners, foodies, and anyone looking for a place for a good meal. Initially was reluctant to try The Parish Oyster Bar & Restaurant mainly because of the name.
The Parish Oyster Bar & Restaurant will surpass your expectations starting with the fresh French bread served in the brown bag with soft butter. Everything I ordered was superb visually and gastronomically delicious.
The fried crab claws and fried catfish was prepared by someone that cares about how the food is served and plated. The breading on both of these dishes were light enough to enhance the golden color of frying with very little seasoning not to overpower the flavor of the freshness of the protein.
The crab stuffed Grouper is probably the best in Northern Mississippi and would be comfortable if compared to the same dish in a coastal state. The Crawfish stuffed French bread is in a league of its own. I was not prepared for this appetizer. The best way I can describe this dish is a mixture of crawfish, cheese, and cream cheese 'I'm guessing" served on top of split French bread loaf and lightly toasted. It's like an open face grill cheese sandwich for grown-ups. (Ok to share with the kids).
Writing reviews requires the same amount of energy good or bad for whatever the reason. I gave The Parish Oyster Restaurant 4/5 stars because, there is always room for improvement. The only complaint I have is, I would prefer to have broccoli with my entree.
The Parish Oyster Bar & Restaurant is located in Nothern Mississippi in the city of Hernando on Commerce Street less than a 1/2 mile off the Highway 55 Commerce Street exit. The value and quality of the food is equally linked, and, in my opinion, I won't say no names there are a few restauranter's in nearby cities that needs to visit The Parish Oyster Bar & Restaurant and get a taste of some real Cajun food. For those with inquiring minds just read some of my other reviews. This is without a doubt the best Cajon/Creole cooking you can get without going to Louisiana or some of the hyped-up Cajun restaurant imposters in Memphis, TN.
I have no complaints about the service. Upon arrival checked-in and was told there would be about a 20-minute wait. I was seated and place my order I forgot about checking to see how long I actually waited. If you are broad in the hips just ask your server for chairs with no arms. My meal was $$$ and you know what? I'm already planning on have lunch there tomorrow on 03/04/2022.
I'll sum up the aforementioned by saying, if you are traveling through Nothern Mississippi on Highway 55 and want to enjoy a good meal don't give it a second thought just put this address in your GPS, 427 E. Commerce St. Hernando, MS 38632 and enjoy your meal.

Please arrive early to avoid the crowds and long wait. Paris has excellent Lousiana Inspired selections. You can't go wrong. We had onion rings as our appetizer, they were huge. The portions are nice. I had grilled catfish and shrimp. My husband has grilled shrimp, corn and potatoes. His food tasted better than mine 🤣😁😄. Arrive when they open and enjoy the experience.

My husband is from Louisiana so we were really excited to finally get the chance to check The Parish out. He went with the shrimp and grits and loved it. I'm not much of a seafood person so I got the tenderloin. Everything was amazing!!! Can't wait to go back and bring our sons.

First two times I visited food was amazing, especially the crab cakes, which is why I go back. Went last night and my crab cakes were sans crab, so I basically ate fried stuffing cakes (still good but not worth the price with no crab). Not sure if there’s a new chef in town or a crab meat shortage but I’d like the old cakes back please! Thanks!

This was our 2nd time visiting the Parish Oyster Bar and once again I'm giving them 5 stars. Outstanding customer service, wonderful atmosphere, clean and the food is DELICIOUS!!! We enjoyed Oyster Rockefeller and Gumbo, which in my opinion are the best in this area, meaty crab claws,peel and eat shrimp, seasoned fish and fries hmm yep I know that's a lot of food for two people. ☺😋 Highly recommend.

It was our first visit to the Parish. My daughter and son in law live in Hernando. I live in Arkansas about 30 minutes from Little Rock.I was visiting daughter and my brother had flown in from Orlando,FL. Daughter hadn't eaten here before but all her friends had been telling her the food was great so we gave it a try. As I mentioned my brother is from Orlando and he was happily surprised that the oysters on the half shell and the peel and eat cold shrimp were as fresh and tasty as if he was back in Orlando. We all were surprised how delicious it was and so fresh tasting. We got there during happy hour and on that day the happy hour happened to be the raw oysters and peel and eat shrimp. My daughter ordered catfish dinner which was also delicious and popcorn shrimp dinner for my grandkids which was delicious too. The service was excellent,the beer was cold,food was great and the place was clean. Daughter and her hubby will be eating here again and I will be stopping by on my next visit here. Thank you The Parish Oyster Bar for a great evening see you again soon.

We've dined here several times, and both food and service have been impeccable during each visit. Fresh oysters, tender frog legs, and decadent bread pudding were the highlights of the most recent visit. The Parish is a welcome addition to the Hernando dining scene, and while there is sometimes a wait, it is certainly worth it.

What a wonderful place! Great atmosphere, try the gumbo. The oysters were fantastic.
Server was frequently and attentive!
Had the fried catfish and it did not disappoint.
Good pricing , we sat immediately at 4pm on a Thursday night.

I think the place has good potential but I was not impressed. We had six at our table and waited over an hour, which in itself is understandable. However, they brought us a small loaf of bread for us all to share. Two people got gumbo and didn’t like it. There was a whole small crab in the one of the bowls which was gross. I ordered the stuffed crab and the temp on the inside of the crab was room temperature. I didn’t want slaw and had to pay extra to sub a salad for both of the sides. The salad was very basic, small bowl of iceberg lettuce, tomato and a few shreds of cheese. The crab claws appetizer was good though.
With some improvements, it could be good. The prices need to be adjusted to reflect the quality. Red Lobster, and any other seafood place I been to is better and that’s not saying much.

This was amazing French Quarter fresh seafood. Cooked beautifully, with great local brews. Fresh Oyster bar also, and has a pound and a half of snow crab on the menu. We ended up getting a second round of the oysters and would definitely be back for any future specials. The service was fast and friendly the chef was out checking people. It was perfection, they deserve an amazing location but the inside was well done. They serve friend fish and popcorn shrimp on regular menu also. Open at 3pm go look!

My parents and I ate here on a Thursday night. It was amazing. And I do not give positive reviews unless I am completely amazed. I have been in the restaurant industry for over 20 years and am from the gulf having spent a ton of time in LA, and this place has such amazing food and run so professionally I can’t believe they have only been open a week. Sarah was an amazing server and I will just say that we enjoyed ever minute of it. Get there early if you do t want to wait. But I’m telling you. It is worth the wait.
