This is my second attempt at this restaurant. I have been to the other restaurants in this group, Charlie's in violet, and kitchen table and usually have outstanding food. Unfortunately this location doesn't hold up to the other two.

The roast beef poboy I had the first time tasted burnt.This time, the gravy or meat tasted like it came from a can and even had a weird texture. My friend even said he could smell that from where he was sitting. It was inedible so I asked for something else. I ordered the oyster poboy. That too was Disgusting. They cooked the oysters so long you couldn't chew them at all.
Being a chef, I give a lot of grace to kitchens/staff and forgive a lot, but this was so bad, that something definitely needs to change for the better at this location.

The other items we ordered were ok, the onion rings fried perfectly, and the shrimp poboy was ok.
My friend was from Phoenix, so this was a really disappointing experience.

Really good food! Was in town and wanted a more home cooked type meal. Stumbled upon this place by chance. Restaurant was clean and the staff friendly. Food portions were excellent. The prices are extremely reasonable too!

Always excellent service with hot and fresh food. Never had a meal that wasn’t delicious. From the grits and pancakes to the poboys and fries, whatever you order you won’t be disappointed. All the thumbs up.

Went to eat dinner with friends and family We walked out before receiving our food due to rats. It is very obvious that the rats have been there for a while and have been eating good.

We went there on Friday night at 9 pm to eat with family and left due to rats coming out of the ceiling in the dining area. Do better guys!

We stopped off in Chalmette on our way home to Austin and this little hole in the wall place was just a mile from our hotel. I was immediately excited to see it because I wanted some local food beloved by locals that had something different than fast food, breakfast, or Mexican (we are Texans, we’ve got amazing Mexican cuisine at home!). Parish Diner did not disappoint with a great menu, friendly staff, and the food is amazing. We got a couple appetizers, the fried ravioli and fries with roast beef debris on it, also got some gator sausage, chicken tenders, and catfish. Every single thing we ate was delicious. I cannot overstate how good this place is. If you’re traveling through, please stop by and give them a try, you will NOT be disappointed. There are plenty of excellent places to eat in New Orleans, that’s a given, but these smaller towns surrounding the city are well worth a visit as well because I’ve had the best meal of my weeklong road trip across the Deep South right here at Parish Diner.

I’m so sorry I have no pictures. As soon as we got into our room, we opened the food and that smell hit us and we could not wait to dig in.

Beignets. We tried them all. On our way to the battlefield, we happened to pass Parish Diner and decided to stop. Good thing we did! Easily the best beignets in New Orleans. Unanimous vote!

This laid-back local diner offers a diverse Cajun menu and serves breakfast all day.

With ample seating and friendly service, the unassuming building hides surprisingly good food with generous portions.

Prices are very budget-friendly too.
