We started our dinner with the best crab cake I've ever had. I got the crab boil and my wife had the Cajun pasta. My wife had a Hurricane with her meal. For dessert we got funnel cake fries. The overall meal was fantastic. Five stars.

My wife and I ate for her the first time and we really enjoyed it. We started off with the crab claws for an appetizer and they were great, a little salty, but still very good. My wife had the side salad and the cajun pasta. I has the shrimp poboy with fries. Our meals were amazing. We will definitely go back and try other dishes.

Sometimes you just want some crab legs without all of the boil sauce and Parrish in Cherry delivers! My crab was cooked to perfection and I was pleased the first time I went. My only issue was with the drinks. I don’t know if it was an off night, but they were very weak. This is the only reason I can’t give five stars.

I have to say most restaurants you come in right before they are closed and in some way the quality or service is normally off but not this place. Service was friendly and ready to serve. The food…. Wonderful. Even 30min before closing everything was cooked perfectly and delicious. Everything was seasoned very well and made us excited to come back for brunch. Thank you to the staff front and back of house!

What a gem hidden downtown! Love the atmosphere. The appetizers were wondermous! The entrée could have been spicer but I'm just picky. Service was on point with all our needs.

My Shrimp and Grits were fantastic. Fresh shrimp, cheese grits, and flavorful andouille sausage. It is an award winner as stated on menu. My spouse's dish was Vege Gumbo with shrimp. It was over filled with rice and the overall flavor was pale. The interior has character. It is a little dark inside. The exterior has a seating area, but around the corner, people were smoking in multiple forms and we choose to eat inside instead.
