Hear from our valued guests
Food was delicious. Service was fast and very kind. The mac and cheese was creamy and cheesy. The wings are a must get they were the perfect flavour.
Was in town with my colleagues for a conference and we found this place. It was really crowded both inside and outside but the food was worth it. Our meals were fresh and flavorful. While the seating was tight & alil hard to get your server, the food came out quickly and portions were decent. Great lunch spot for sure!
Great sandwiches and service. Has a front outside for nicer weather. Large portions for the sandwiches also.
I have been to Parish Café many times, and it always delivers. Located just around the corner, it is my go-to spot when I want a great sandwich and a strong beer selection. The menu is full of creative options, with each sandwich inspired by a local chef, which gives the place a fun and unique twist on the typical café experience.
We randomly decided to stop in for some food and a night cap after watching a show at the Opera House. And I am so glad we did! The food was amazing. I got the meatballs and my husband got the Zuni rolls - both excellent. We got beers as well- they had a good selection to choose from. The bartender was very friendly. Would recommend and will be stopping by again next time we are in the area.
Highly suggest going after 10 PM as the sandwiches are half price and the value is strong. The sandwich bread is fresh, and the sandwiches are genuinely good. Drink prices are standard bar range. The atmosphere is fine but can get too noisy. Note that the tip is calculated on the full, non-discounted price.
I can’t speak more highly about this place! We travel to Boston 2-3 times a year and this is a must stop 1-2 times during our trip. The food is amazing, especially Rachel’s Hot Sister (literally get it every time). The concept is so unique and makes such a great place to eat. The one thing I wish that was different is that dogs are allowed on the patio, but that seems to be more of a Boston downside than this specific restaurant.
Bowl-O-Rings, Hawaii 5-, and Zuni Roll. My very picky son ate the whole Zuni Roll (so it must be good) and said it was filling. The Hawaii 5-0 is delicious and perfectly balanced. The cabbage does not overpower the sandwich in texture or flavor. It's perfectly sweet and not too sweet. The pineapple is there but does not overpower. The onion rings are light and airy and have a good crunch, and they taste better with the holidays than they do plain. They are not heavy onion rings, but they are onion rings, so expect a little grease. I was traveling to Boston, and I'm glad I ate at Parish Cafe & Bar. I would happily eat there again. They have mocktails on the drink menu, too, which is thoughtful and welcoming for everyone. It's a bar, so it's not a quiet place, but the quietest tables are in the back. Service was excellent.
Incredible food and a great atmosphere! Portions are huge and delicious. Some of the best mac and cheese I’ve ever had (and I am a mac and cheese connoisseur).
Parish Café & Bar is one of those rare Boston spots that feels both timeless and effortlessly cool. Diner-style at heart, it’s the kind of place where you can slide into a seat at the bar, order great food, and feel immediately at home.
