Went to The Barking Parrot with my daughter and her boyfriend about a week ago. The service was excellent, friendly server. The food was delicious, my smash burger was best burger I've had for many years. My compliments to the Chefs! I had not been to The Parrot for at least 35 years and way roomier now than the old days. I will be back!

Had a great time at the Barking Parrot. My friends and I went there for dinner and were pleasantly surprised by how great the service and food was. Our server was Julia and she was an absolute superstar! We asked her for recommendations and she nailed it. Everything we ordered was delicious but honestly, Julia’s service is what really made our night. She was so attentive and personable, it really made our night. After 10pm a DJ came on and we had a great time dancing. We would recommend this place is you’re looking for well priced, yummy food and a fun time!

We eat out a lot and the barking parrot is or was one of our favorites. It had everything going for it.View,good menu,and good service.We were seated yesterday and had to wait 20minutes for our server to come back.She was outside collecting the money from 2 different tables who were still eating.We waited again for a long time for our second drink as well as our food order.The menu has been recently decreased and now offers much less food choices.Our pizza tasted like someone poured a salt shaker on it and the Reuben sandwich was very greasy.We had to wait again for a very long time to get our bill.We reluctantly tipped but really didn't want to.The server spent most of her time talking to other servers ,touching her hair and was on her cell phone.The bar was not busy.We are locals and are very disappointed in our experience yesterday.The venue you have is just perfect but the service, menu and food quality needs to be addressed.Perhaps that is why most of the time it is not busy.Thanks for listening.

A great place to sit back and have some drinks and good food.

The menu was stripped down to a more basic version. Not as impressed with the food as I was previously before the menu change.

Pretentious place that does needless gouging. Ordered some nibblies. They arrived just as happy hour started. We paid….full price.

Nice patio.right by the lake. Fairly.good standard bar food and drinks. You are there for the view.

Food was decent, service was lackluster and the bar itself was old and drab.
Good food, very reasonable priced, and nothing better than sitting outside overlooking the beach and lake!!

A dive for young kids.... fast forward April 2025.. . I thought let's try again .....we were sat at a dirty table.. the server brought a spray bottle and sprayed the table splashing chemicals or what was in the bottle in our face....cleaned tables and chairs with same cloth!.....Resort.....NOT

We were a large group. The servers were attentive and thoughtful. Quickly, through seating, ordering and delivery: respectful, responsive and patient. We heard no complaints about the food. Special shout out to the French Onion Soup!. Ty

Place is old and needs updating.
