We enjoyed ourselves at Parley’s. The food was good and the service was great. I have only 4 stars because I feel some improvement could be made.

Came in this evening around 530ish. It was busy, but no wait for the last table available inside. Once sat, we waited about 10 minutes to be asked for our drink order. The quickest service this evening was receiving 2 kid drinks & a water. We hurried to order our food after already sitting so long and then were told it was about a 30 minute wait for it to come out. It wasn’t a huge deal, but once we received our food knowing that took about 45 minutes overall we were unimpressed. Kids slider buns were both burnt, the buttered noodles all clumped together, crab slider had quite a bit of shell & no seasoning, & none of the sliders had any sauce (kids burger, crab & regular burger). Staff wasn’t friendly to the point that as we were leaving 2 of the servers walked through us as we were heading to the door and not one “excuse/pardon me”. The only saving grace was that the Bloody Mary was pretty good. Other than that, we were hoping for a great experience considering the review rating is 4.5 but this evening was nowhere close to that.

Went to Parley’s a few months ago and ordered some raw oysters. They were delicious and the presentation was nice. The service was very slow even though there were only 3 other tables being served. Our table was against the window which had a great view but there were flies all over the window which was disappointing. There is definitely limited seating, so expect to wait at peak times.

Y’all!! This place is AMAZING!! We’ve been to little Washington a ton of times and some how always missed this place. By chance I came across it online and ended up there for dinner with my husband for dinner last night. Small, quaint place with a wonderful atmosphere. Everyone was very kind but Abbie, our server, was extraordinary. While the food took a bit of time, Abby made sure our glasses were never empty and was able to keep conversation light and fun while knowing exactly when to check on us. She is the type of person that is meant to work with the public in whatever capacity she chooses. Though the food took a bit to get to us, it was worth every minute we waited!! We ordered the mini crab cakes to start. Sorry, no pic. We ate one and before we knew it they were just gone. Wonderful flavor and great little remoulade to dip. For dinner I ordered a half order of the shrimp and grits and man!! I should have ordered a full order. Best, most flavorful shrimp and grits I have ever tasted. I also did 1/2 sandwich, the Unbrielievable grilled cheese and 1/2 soup, the crab bisque. All the flavors were amazing together. The bisque was a bit thin BUT the flavor more than made up for it. My husband ordered the gourmet burger sliders and the brussel sprouts. Again, everything had wonderful flavor and portion sizes were perfect. We cannot wait to go back!!

We went to the new location on the downtown waterfront. They are still getting used to the layout of the new location so service was a bit disjointed. The food was good except for the crab cakes. They were smashed flat when they cooked them …less than 1/4 thick but big around. They were very overcooked. They also didn’t come with remoulade sauce. We had to ask twice to get some. We had the bacon wrapped shrimp appetizer & it was good but no barbecue sauce was on it as the menu said. I’ve had them before with the barbecue sauce & it really completes the dish. I hope they have the kitchen sorted by the next time we go there as it is one of our favorite places to dine.

Long review alert! But this place is the REAL DEAL! Parley’s truly went above and beyond for myself and my family during my sister’s wedding weekend in Washington, NC. I cannot recommend Parley’s enough for catering, private events, and just an overall personal, intimate experience with a local business. I had been communicating with Parley’s for months prior to hosting my sister’s bridal luncheon in their space. Boo and Paige created stunning personalized menus, ordered food specifically for us, and even let us take over their dining room for a whole morning on a Friday. They allowed us to come in at 9 am to decorate, and we arrived to a beautiful table already set. I cannot emphasize how wonderful it was to work with this team from start to finish. Two weeks before the wedding, our rehearsal party venue cancelled on us, leaving us in a tight spot to feed and host 140 people last minute. Parley’s quickly jumped in and gladly catered the event for us. Boo and Paige came up with special appetizers that accommodated every single person that joined us that night. On top of those 2 events, Parleys even catered our family breakfast the Sunday after the wedding and delivered for us (we were a little tired 🙂 ). All 3 of the catered meals with Parley’s had gluten and dairy free options included. With all of that being said- I cannot thank Parley’s enough for stepping in and making the wedding weekend personal, intimate, and everything we could have ever hoped for.

All my previous experiences there hasn’t been a problem until last night. First I had a 5:30 reservation and showed up for them to sit my friend and I at the bar. If I had wanted the bar I wouldn’t have made a reservation. The bartenders had no personality nor did they talk to you. I ordered a well done all American Burger for it to medium rare. I do not eat rare meat so I sent it back where my friend ate her dinner while I waited for mine to come back out. Wh did split the bill but I was shocked when each of our bills were $62 for 1 appetizer, 1 drinks each, she ate fish and I had the burger…I won’t go back there.

Very nice meal. The sandwiches were unique and tasty. The shrimp bisque was creamy and just a hint of spicy. We ended with the peach turnover a la mode that had a delicate glaze. All were yummy. The only thing I’d change is to serve the dessert in a bowl instead of on a board (very messy unless you eat it really fast). I’d recommend this restaurant.
