The Parish

Food was great and service was polite and fast. It says I need 85 characters to post a review. Normally, I would just close the p age and forget about a review, but thus place was good and I hope they do well.​

Everything was amazing. The food, people, service, and atmosphere were perfect. I had just returned from NOLA and still had the best meal. They know what they are doing. Get the stuffed fish.

The Parish is tucked away in a small shopping center right off the main drag in beautiful, crime free, Hernando MS. They have a raw oyster bar, sell tasty beers, and have some of the best seafood around our landlocked little area of the world. The chef/owner is the former chef at St. Jude from what I understand. One time when I was there, I saw people bring in fish from the gulf coast and he made them a dish with it. How cool is that!!??I have had some really fantastic food here, and then I've had some that was just fair. Seafood gumbo used to be mind blowing, but my last couple visits, it was mediocre at best. Crab claws are always great. I love the Grouper and Grits every single time. Oysters are generally good, but again, last visit were pre-shucked, dry, and had no briny taste. Drunk Duck Drummies are so freaking good and unlike anything else with buffalo sauce around here. Blackened fish dishes are good. Red Beans sucked the one time I got it. Boo. Bread pudding and Bananas Fosters cheesecake is gosh damn fantastic. You can usually find some really good daily specials as well. I could write for days about the food. Servers are starting to look kind of sloppy and tired as there seems to be zero dress code in place. I swear my server was wearing pajamas and had not brushed her hair that day on my last visit. That's cool by me, but it's important to some folks. I will say that the nicest, most peppy, and efficient server in America also works here. This place is awesome if everything lines up for you on your visit. I will be back, no matter what. '24 - 34/100

This is one of those instances that I wish Yelp had half stars. While I thought the food was very good. I felt like there was enough improvements needed to cost them a half star, but not quite enough to cost them a whole. Don't get me wrong. Its very difficult for a Seafood Restaurant to be extremely successful this far from the ocean. They just don't have the benefits of fresh daily catches like restaurants in Florida or anywhere on the coast. That being said ...... Our food was pretty fresh and with all those things considered. The very small issues I had were more on the side techniques of cooking.I got the Boiled Gulf Shrimp Dinner and The Seafood Gumbo. They were both good! However ..... I do feel like the taste of everything could have been much better. Usually when I get this meal. Everything is very juicy and the flavors mesh together. This is because they normally boil everything together. This plate tasted like everything was cooked separately. The corn and sausage was a little dry. I feel like they were cooked separate from the shrimp. The shrimp were decent size but a little small for the price of the plate. You could tell everything was fresh and it did have a great flavor separately. The Seafood Gumbo was good but needed a little more seasoning in my opinion. Nothing would prevent me from coming back and I look forward to trying some of the other food offered. The ambiance was nice and everyone was very friendly. Our waitress was awesome and stayed on top of everything. The inside was very clean and up to date. I did notice they received an A on the last food rating. That is hard to get and keep unless you are going above and beyond. I look forward to coming back soon to try the Oysters and a few other items. If you want some good seafood in this area. I do recommend The Parish over all the other choices for sure. They are a little pricey so keep that in mind.

The food is amazing every time I go there. Im addicted to the crawfish breadand chargrilled oysters...oh myThe service is always great, very friendly and on it.The ambiance is nice the music is zydeco which I love. This is the best thing to happen in Hernando.

I really enjoyed Parish. The blackened grouper was amazing and the side of fries were the right amount of crispy. The gumbo was also really good with great flavor and hearty too. The fried stuffed crass a little rich for a newcomer but good. Baked oysters were outstanding and highly recommended.

The best restaurant in Hernando, hands down! Everything you get here will be amazing! Always check out their specials if they have them available. It is a nicer restaurant and the prices reflect that. The environment is good, lots of friendly people. The service is always good!

I ordered the blackened catfish lunch plate. The service and food were excellent. I will definitely come back.

My wife and I dine at the Parish often. We especially love the dozen oysters and dozen shrimp. I also recommend the crawfish bread, so good. This is a great place to eat! I highly recommend the Parish!

Went there Tuesday lunch. Had their special chicken and dumplings with fried okra, fried corn bread and butter beans. My husband also got a cup of gumbo with rice. Plenty of food to split between us. I'm always concerned about the pepper/heat factor. No heat in the chicken and dumplings dish. Gumbo has some heat. More than I wanted. Clean plates for both of us. Had to look around for waitress to refill drinks a couple of times. We will return.
