I was really surprised by this place. My friends and I, we went for fry fish craving. Not disappointed at all, was to die for, and the ranch French fries amazing good. I'll be back for fry chicken. Staff and sever very friendly, clean place, nice environment inside with picnic tables and a lot of plants 🪴. I'm definitely coming back.

Well, I came back as I promised on May 5th with two new friends. But this time, we had an issue with the server and the bartender. I went with two new friends to show them the place, first timers. After we ordered drinks and food, the server came two times with the wrong drinks; a beer can for the first time and a beer 🍺. We ordered a beer pitcher. That's OK she was the only server for the whole restaurant at lunchtime. Understandable. So the food came was great. My friend ordered a lemon margarita when the drink came was served on whiskey glass instead of margarita glass. I asked the server why, and she told me : "This place is not a Mexican restaurant," a very rispid way to tell us as must say. I knew this place wasn't Mexican since we got here in the first place. Immediately, my friends want to leave. They are very astonished and upset with the rudeness from her. We paid and my friend asked to talk to the bar manager. To my surprise, he got the same bad attitude as the server. Very rude. Unfortunately, we have plans to come back next week with a party of 12 to 15 people, but we're not coming back anymore. I left very disappointed 😞 with this place after I spoke so highly of...

I think this is the second review I’ve ever left (outside of just clicking 5 stars on a place).

Had a weird experience where I went there to pick up an online order on Grubhub (but this was a Parsons issue).

Decided to sit at a table as it was going to take awhile (no big deal, I wanted a drink anyways and was just enjoying a nice evening). Once seated, the guy who initially sat me at the table ignored me for over an hour after getting me an initial drink - weird but whatever they were pretty busy. What is frustrating is the server who was hanging around serving the other 5 tables in the area around me, coming around multiple times (even changing out a table and seating another group). He never looked in my direction - I was apparently invisible. I did a quick hand wave one of the times but I’m not going to go out of my way to do more than that, because whatever Parsons waiter guy, so I left money on the table for the beer and left.

Needless to say I never got my food and I’m now at home an hour later and the order in still pending on Grubhub and the restaurant is closed. Yes, of course I could have said something or called once home but something was just so smug about the way the waiter wasn’t attempting to make any money (20% above which would have been a tip) that made me shrug and say “okay I’m not worth your time? Then you don’t deserve...
