The service, food, and staff are always top notch and make it their priority for you to have an enjoyable experience. Highly recommend!
Food and service was very good, had a gift certificate someone got us. Will definitely return.
Hidden Gem in Avon Lake. Outstanding quality with an attentive staff. Even the owner walked around making sure everyone was happy. Our meal was prepared perfectly and we plan on returning soon!
Just in town for the day and the regulars over at Cousins Cigars all had wonderful things to say about this place, so I had to try it. Lived up to the hype! I had the chicken breast in a wild mushroom sauce with creamy calaflower rice. The sauce was rich and had an intense mushroom flavor. Absolutely outstanding...I requested some bread to sop it up. The carmel apple bread pudding was just perfect too! Fresh brewed ice tea and a long wine and beer list. Pretty good value for a restaurant of this quality.
This use to be one of our favorite places to go for a nice dinner. We went Saturday night for the first time in a while and the food was okay. It seems their quality in food has greatly declined. Personally, I would rather pay more money for the quality food they use to have. Our service was excellent up until we were done with our meal. The server had asked us if we would like dessert and I told her yes I’d love to what are my options? She named them and then quickly told me “…and you can get that to go” what a nice way of saying it’s time for us to go! I was kinda speechless and ready to go at that point.
My sister-in-law rented their party room for her baby shower. I dont know how much per person she paid but it was very nice inside and very large. We have quite a big family and it fit everyone comfortably.
Definitely not up to usual standard for Parkers. Ordered carry out, classic reubens. Sandwiches werent even grilled! Meat was so fatty and sweet potato fries were greasy & mushy even after (10 minutes in oven on high) very disappointed 😞
Nice restaurant. For those of us with Celiac the menu is clearly marked with GF food, which is great, but there is NO GLUTEN FREE BEER!! Otherwise it would be 5 stars. Its a shame because gf beers are so easy for restaurants to get these days. (To owner- Cider is NOT beer...)
Had dinner with four people , three different households. Three people ended up with food poisoning. Tried to report it to the night manager who was unprofessional, belligerent and disrespectful. He not only hung up the phone on me but slammed it down. The food was good but the experience afterwards was horrendous,
Celebrating a birthday!Food was wonderful! I had the prime rib! Service was great! I will go again.
Excellent service, great food acceptable prices. Cant get any better than that.
Food was great, but the service is even more amazing! Mia and Morgan behind the bar are so attentive and pleasant. I went on a night when the kitchen was understaffed and the servers/bartenders should have been stressed. Instead, they were great at keeping people calm and giving them options on what food to order that will be quick. I really enjoyed myself and will definitely be back.
Had to send back burger because severely under cooked. The bartender, (she) was not very attentive.had to keep asking her for service,VERY FRUSTRATING evening, very disappointed
Last week I brought my adult daughter and a guy friend here, mostly because it was Burger Nite and I knew I could feed three of us for the price of two. But, little did I know that this place is ON TOP OF THEIR GAME! No staffing shortages, quick service, delightful food and the owner thanked us for coming in on our way out. We will definitely be back! I have to think it is good management that led to our quality service...so thank you.
Came here for in laws anniversary. They wanted to try it from a friends referral. The burger wasnt cooked for medium, it was still pink and pieces of raw meat were falling out of the burger. My mother in laws pizza was burnt crisp underneath and she couldnt eat it. Not really worth the prices and wait there. We did reservations and were seated quickly but food took a while to prepare and still wasnt cooked properly.
Best restaurant around! Our family has easily been 50+ times between dine in and take out, and have always had stellar experiences. Never had a mistake, missed item, or less than great meal for any of us. Great prices too. Owner is always around greeting customers. Hostesses are clearly young kids given their first chances at a job, which we appreciate as well, (so customers with that complaint need to get over themselves). Servers have all been professional and efficient. Seriously done going out to other places. Lol Such a hidden gem! We’ve had similar great experience with Old School Pizza by Parker’s as well! So happy to eat local and support a family business!
Awesome, great food , Servers are very friendly and helpful. Will return again 10 4
First time visit could not have been better. Excellent service from Mitzy and the food was incredible.
The food was good, the service was OK considering short staffed. My Manhattan was excellent.
Food and service were fantastic. Several of us had the tacos, great portions and flavor.
Had a small Christmas function here. Food was buffet style. It was fantastic! Especially the beef! Service was great as well.
Food was delicious and our server was very friendly! But the hostess was incredibly RUDE! Our reservations were at 6:30, we arrived 6:20, she said youll have to go your car and wait, which we did. We arrived at 6:30, and waited until 6:45 to be seated (by the way there were 3 tables that were empty)!! I finally had to ask the Hostess again to be seated. You have lost our business along with many friends!!
Would like to check this place out again outside of COVID-19, enjoyed it, just not thrilled, but again I think they werent able to be on their A game.
Hands Down best food I’ve ever had!! Amazing! My new favorite place. Highly recommend! Amazing atmosphere and Elena and Ashley P definitely made us feel at home! I definitely will ask for them next time we go!
It was very good. Never went before because its usually packed. Got it right away tonight. I had the walleye, it was delicious.
Went for date night with my hubby. Good food, decent prices.
Was a 5 star when they opened, but now its bad. The french fries are not good, before they changed it from shoe string to a steak fry, they were good. Now, they are awful. The burger buns are stale. And taking out the chocolate moose is a huge lose. Not comin back for food. Will come back for the weekly car show.
Beautiful restaurant, amazing food, amazing staff!! Always a wonderful experience!!
Food was Excellent! Service was very good. I Wish the calamari would be fresh not frozen And also served with the tentacles as well.
Food was excellent. It was my birthday, & my boyfriend took me there. I had never been there before, but he & his friends have been going there. All he kept talking about was the clam chowder. Was very good, but , had a bite to it. Little too much for me. Even my boyfriend said it was, & normally wasn t. Otherwise, it was excellent. Had scampi pasta- delicious!!! Couldnt finish it. Generous serving. I would HIGHLY recommend this restaurant! *
Ooohh my.... talk about a great steak! Cooked perfectly even though Im a hard steak order ( extra well done).. the asparagus was perfectly done... cudos all the way around! Staff is always super friendly... Im still full and am already thinking of my leftovers! No photo, I tore into it as soon as they set it on the table, sorry!
Very impressive! One of the best meals Ive had in a long time. Service was excellent
I’ve had steak at a lot of different places across the country. Went to Parkers at random due to a friends suggestion and wasn’t disappointed. Best steak I’ve had in a very long time.
Fantastic food & atmosphere. Our waitress seemed a bit snippy or overwhelmed with our questions about the dishes (we had a party of 6 whod never visited this restaurant before), but hopefully it was just a bad day... we all have them. However, we didnt let it ruin our evening. Great food and beautiful inside. Would recommend.
We went on a Friday night for a late dinner. We sat on the patio and the staff was super friendly. The food was reasonably priced and the quality was great. Everything we had was delicious. The artichoke dip was fantastic. Ill definitely be back for another meal.
This was my first visit. I got the 3 course prime rib special. The Wedge salad, Prime Rib and mashed potatoes were fantastic. I didnt like the dessert but that is probably because a peanut butter bread pudding doesnt appeal to me. Plus I dont normally eat desserts.
Great food. Great Service. Courteous staff.
Very very good food, really fantastic service. Many choices of variety of food. Only negative a little dark inside but would not keep me away.
Im giving this 3 stars. Went there the first time and loved it. The steak was great. The next time I ordered a sandwich. It was blt with nasty, cold, limp bacon on it. Not sure how I feel about going back.
We had take out and the food was great. My wife had the pork sandwich with fries. The sandwich was a generous size and very tasty. I had the pork tenderlion dinner. I highly recommend it! There was a lot of pork and glaze (on the side) with a lot of smashed red potatoes both were really good and a much larger portion than I expected. The asparagus was also good and a more normal portion size. DELICIOUS...
Every single meal that Ive tried is delicious and the service is very friendly and receptive. Ive been here at least 10 times with my family and the owner always makes sure to stop by and see how were doing. One of our favorites!
Had a holiday dinner. Great service and wonderful banquet room. Food was excellent.
Excellent service, food and drinks. Parkers is our familys favorite local steak restaurant. Also the chicken mushroom dinner is awesome.
The service was terrible and there was something off with the kitchen we ordered the chicken scampi they had the option for chicken or shrimp and I explained that my wife has an allergy to shellfish so we ordered the chicken one and two bites into her bowl there were several pieces of shrimp and she instantly started having a reaction. Next I ordered the pretzel breaded chicken tenders and they were burnt and had no seasoning and lastly the macaroni and cheese the sauce tasted like flour and was very bland. Lastly the burger and fries were ok and so was the kimchi chicken sandwich because of these 2 items is the only reason this restaurant is getting 1 star no effort was made to compensate the mistake for my wife’s food for a 70 dollar meal I expected way more
We just had a mini lunch/wedding reception in their event room. They did a wonderful job accommodating our needs due to COVID-19. The space was beautiful and the coordinator, Mitzi, was so flexible. The food was delicious!! Highly recommend!
Very good food. Waitress was wonderful and had a great attitude. Live music was playing. All around great time!
Best restaurant experience my wife & I have had in a long time! I was impressed all the way around on my first visit yesterday night. Great menu that has a little bit of something for everyone. Our burgers were cooked perfectly. I got a side of Brussel sprouts & they were awesome, lots of flavor! The bread pudding for dessert was delicious. Our server was Jasmine & she was great! We’ll definitely be coming back.
Went for LC restaurant week and had the fillet. Food was good, service was good, and the atmosphere was very comfortable. We did have the large back corner booth so it felt like we were eating in private. Maybe the best seat in the house.Will definitely be back for the prime rib on a Friday or Saturday night in the future.
Had a surprise birthday party there the staff was incredible the facilities was great and overall great evening and experience.
5 stars only because the 22oz cowboy ribeye was perfection!Great price for that size steak and was cooked perfectly!
Never knew this place existed! Great food. Ribs did fall off the bone. Forest chicken was delicious with the cauliflower mashed with yummy garlic! Atmosphere was a warm glow. Has the charm of a cabin/restaurant feel. It sits out of the way, a true gem find!
Been here a number of times and was never disappointed until last night. First the beer was a little flat ( Summer Sandy draft). We ordered a dozen hot wings which were below average in taste and texture. My son in law and I both ordered the specialty burger medium rare. His came out rare and mine medium well. Go figure. He sent his back for more cooking and it came back more to his liking. Not wanting to delay our party I ate mine. My burger was tasteless.I will go back as this would have been a five star review prior to my last visit. No wings and no burger next time.
The food was excellent and the service was good. Not quite as good as the first time but very good nonetheless.
We love Parkers! The food is delicious, we love the staff, and the manager, James, never fails to make everyone feel welcome! You can tell that everyone at Parkers is working their hardest to make sure you have the best experience. During quarantine, theyre offering growler refills as well, a huge plus! Looking forward to being able to dine-in again!
First time here and looking forward to returning. We were treated like we knew the owners- we didn’t.Best burger in Avon Lake. Fantastic service on the outside patio. Drinks and large menu with so many options.
The atmosphere is very nice, I like the decor, theres only two TVs at the bar(which I like), and they have a patio. I was a little disappointed in the food:cost. I had the norm burger, it was fine. The Mediterranean nachos with lamb were disappointing; I love lamb, hummus, tzatziki, and pita in all its forms, the lamb did not taste very good to me, and the pita chips were--I dont know how else to describe it--hard in an unpleasant way. I enjoyed the scalloped potatoes though. The food was mostly fine, but the quality and flavor did not match what I paid. Ill try again though, and update.
Excellent food, excellent people. One of the best spots in Avon Lake, and Cleveland. Worth the trip from anywhere. Literally the best bar and wait staff I have ever encountered. The food is always on-point, and the drinks are perfect. Love this place, its my go to for business dinners. It always impresses.
This family owned tavern is more than it seems to be.The food is exceptional and so is the service, from the front door to the bar to the wait staff.The owners are never too busy to stop by and check first hand how were doing.Everything is clean and comfortable.In house dry aged beef, home made ranch dressing, meals served just the way you like.And, live music.One try and youll be going back again and again.
Very comfortable setting, fabulous bar made excellent drinks, and our server Elena was amazing. She made a very good meal into an excellent experience.
Very nice atmosphere, didnt sit outside but looked like a nice large patio area. Food was delicious and drinks were as well! Ordered a margarita without alcohol because Im pregnant and it sounded great on a hot day. It was the best Ive had.
Food was excellent, staff very attentive, we were in the small banquet room with about 50. It was very nicely done and staff provided a wonderful evening.
We had an excellent experience here. There was a fish dish my SO had she thought was amazing. I had the spice rubber pork tenderloin which was cooked perfectly. I have paid a lot more for a LOT less. This is a place we will be going back to. Excellent service.Oh ya, Also very kid friendly!
Nice place. Decorated beautiful for Christmas. Guinness lamb stew very good. Wait staff Really hustles. They were great.! Crab cakes not so good. Tasty but wheres the crab. I like lumps of crab. These were pulverized. Broccoli rabi salad Tasty.
Great bar. I love it. Staff is excellent. Food was excellent. Not a single bad thing I could say about this place. Whoever is cooking those steaks knows what they are doing. Cooked perfectly. Great flavor and good quality.
Food was great. Service was fair. Not very attentive. One of us spilled a hot cup of coffee, our waiter saw it happen and just seem to ignore it. We thought when he walked away from the table, he was going to get something to help clean up. He never returned other then to pick up the bill. We all used our napkins to clean it up. Waiter never acknowledged it happened, offered to clean it up, or for that matter offer another cup of coffee. We are not even sure, he may have still charged us for it. We said nothing-just left.
Got there for happy hour--$5 house wines and more. The mahi in the mahi tacos was crispy and delicious. My husband enjoyed his jambalaya. Friendly service and a lively atmosphere. Looking forward to dining on their patio in the summer.
Tasty cocktail and delicious burger. Service was spot on as well.
Food was fresh, cooked correctly and they had a good selection. Prices were reasonable. The love singer was not so loud that you couldnt hold a conversation. We will be back for sure!!
I absolutely loved the walleye. It was a huge lightly breaded piece and fixed perfectly. The prices are very reasonable and I will go to this place again and again even though it is more than a half an hour away from me. I found this place because I was hungry for walleye and I googled where is the best walleye near me and Parkers is what came up. What I found out is that they are considered to have the best walleye in Ohio and I dont doubt that for one minute. Their desserts are great. Dont walk, RUN to this place! You wont be sorry.
Our server, Ashley, was great.Food is deliciousCocktails are tastyWish I wouldve came by before my last night in town visiting family for the holidays. I definitely wouldve gone back
Service is great food is superb and worth the money that you pay for it. A little on the expensive side but I was not disappointed. I ordered the fresh catch of the day. Came with quinoa and I subed out a loaded potato for the asparagus. It was grilled to perfection and lightly seasoned. I will be going back for sure. I also had a red blend glass of wine and a glass of cabernet. The pours were on the light side so the bottle is a better value.
Absolutely AMAZING! Parkers is my new favorite restaurant. The food is perfect every time, and the service is amazing. The atmosphere is great. There is nothing bad I could say about Parkers. My husband and I love it here. Super fresh, flavorful food.
Wonderful Prime Rib dinner tonight. It was perfectly cooked and flavorful. The mashed red potatoes and Caesar salad are exactly the right accompaniments. We had no room for dessert, so they graciously boxed the NY style cheesecake for us. Highly recommended!
Great service and awesome food. Our server Leah was polite and courteous. Will be back as always.
I love this place. It is a great staple for us, especially being on a low carb diet because they have mashed cauliflower! The cocktails are always great, service is good, and my favorite dish is the flank steak with blue cheese on top. Delicious!
Honestly one of the best meals I’ve ever had locally. Amazing atmosphere, wait staff was fantastic and every bite was delectable. We will absolutely be back.
Excellent atmosphere, food was delicious. One steak was medium rare when it was suppose to be medium. The asparagus was huge but almost raw. Other than those two things the meal was perfect.
First timer last night. Enjoyed the Tuesday unadvertised special. Place was packed. Kitchen was slammed yet within 10 minutes our food was on the table with my burger cooked to perfection.... Med Rare.... 2 meals and 1 beer, Out for under $20. PG&T you have a new faithful patron. Great Job.
Tried this place based on its ratings. I am not sure why its rated so high. Food wasnt bad but certainly nothing special. It was really noisy. And the two girls working the hostess stand and waitstaff behind the bar werent very attentive. Wouldnt tell people to avoid this place but also wouldnt recommend it either. All and all, pretty average. Nice decor though!
We had a bunch of apps. The risotto balls were amazing. The pretzels came with chocolate saus which I wasnt too sure of but it was surprisingly good. We also got the artichoke dip and it was very delicious. Definitely going back there again!
Excellent salmon, peppercorn sauce to die for!Our table ordered steaks and salmon. Everyone was pleased with their meals.Always good service, friendly atmosphere.Must try this place.
Consistently great food. Some of the best fish on the westside. Good selection of beers on tap. Drinks are creative and top shelf. Service is friendly and efficient. Main dining area can get loud especially on Sunday evenings.
Parkers never disappoints!!! Regardless of what I order, the food is always outstanding! The wait staff is also the best, especially Jared! He always has a smile on his face & is quick & efficient too. This is my Go To place any night of the week.
Excellent food and service. James (the owner) runs a tight ship, and his Mortons background is obvious (the steaks are Mortons quality at half the price). The Sunday brunch is also outstanding; the shrimp & grits are the best Ive had.
Awesome filet takeout - prepared perfectly - which is difficult to do! Mothers Day dinner and it was awesome. They know what they are doing!!! Thank you very much, Parkers! (Phone was ringing off the hook when I was there too - popular place).
Called at 5:45pm wanted to reserve table said do not. Advised we are 15 min out. Told us zero wait time. Walked in and was told 45 min wait. Won’t be back.
Good hot food fast and friendly service. Clean bathrooms.cant wait to have another meal here!!!
I was introduced to Parkers for a private event and was really impressed by their private room and the quality of their food.The bartender situation for the room could have been better but I think that was likely the responsibility of the people planning the event rather than a reflection on the business.im hoping I have the chance to attend something else at this location soon!
This place is divine. Hubby and I go every couple weeks. If you want Applebee’s price go there. We’ve had steak, burgers, chicken dishes. All have been perfect. Service is right there with it. Spot on. Reservations are not required but recommended.
First of all, it was louder than I remember. That is on me since I knew it was an open area.The entire procedure felt rushed. We were asked 3 times if we were ready to order and we were there 10 minutes. We were not offered appetizers or salad. I ordered a Filet medium with Broccoli instead of Asparagus and got Asparagus. My medium was totally rare. I sent it back. I was asked to put it on a small bread plate so I could keep eating what my other choices were. They nuked my Filet and brought it back. Who Nukes a Filet? Rushed service and less than proper handling of a screwed up order. My wife said the tenderloin was good.
Excellent food and service. Very impressed with the hospitality. It may be called a grill and tavern but feels like a high class restaurant. Dont let the name fool you, its food and service are more than 5 stars.
Our food was excellent...the prices are very fair...the rosemary bread is amazing!!
Dont miss Parkers. Its a fantastic restaurant. Superb chef. Norms burger is unmatched as are the others. Service fantastic. Five start restaurant at three star prices. Its a great value. Go with confidence. Enjoy.
Our group of 20 booked a private room. I communicated with Parkers a couple of times regarding the menu. In my final email I asked for confirmation of our reservation. I received a reply via email confirming our reservation and the final menu selection. When we arrived that evening, we were told that there was no reservation for us and that the room had been given to a larger party for the evening. I showed the emails from my phone to the manager. She then stated that she had attempted to call me to confirm but I never called back. I never received a call or a message. She simply stated, sorry. I wouldnt trust booking a party there.
Really like this place. Very good variety on the menu at a moderate price with nice decor and an impressive wine list. Their ribs are excellent. Would definitely recommend.
Terrible! We had reservations for our 34th wedding anniversary and they put us at a TINY table at the bar area next to the meat locker. Was to have been our first time, but will never know, because we will never set foot in the place again.
Went for a business meeting in a private room. One waitress to take care of 25 people. Food was ok, but we also had a limited menu, so I cant really comment on the quality of the full menu
We have been here many times and have never been disappointed. Delicious food, and great service.
Parkers is always good. The food quality is consistent and full of flavor. The bartender on Sunday nights makes a phenomenal martini. In the summer, the patio is great.
Impressed with service and internal of business surroundings. Would recommend business to anyone that has not been there. Reservations required was not an issue.
Had a fantastic experience at Parker’s! James you are an amazing host and Patrick is a terrific server! Best filet mignon I’ve ever had! Can’t wait to come back!
This place is amazing! The best server ever, we had so much fun and great food.
Took forever, food is bad and overpriced I personally didnt like anything on the menu besides a burger and it was undercooked
Stood at the door for 5 minutes to be seated one other person standing there waiting for a pick up order. Asked if we could just sit at a table by the bar hostess said yes they brought water and menus we sat there for 15 minutes had several girls look at us but non of them came to our table to take our order so we left. Poor poor service
Amazing!!!! Awesome!!! Fantastic!!! Doesnt even begin to explain.... We have been here countless times.. Never... Ever have we been disappointed with anything! Service is top notch and food is nothing short of phenomenal. This has quickly became our favorite!!
How to fillet which was cooked perfectly and very tender meat along with mashed potatoes and cold broccoli. Salad came first with no bread and no option to get bread. Would have given four stars except service was very lacking food pump down waitress disappeared no option to ask questions, ask for drink refills, Etc.
Had a great time! Server was friendly and the food was great. Well definitely be back
A solid two and a half stars for the BBB veggie patty. The veggie burger was burnt, bland, and underwhelming at its price point. The fries were bland and tasted as if they had been made a few days ago. Parkers is a solid pass for me.
These Roasted Brussel Sprouts are DIVINE!! I know, you wouldnt think those two words could be in the same sentence, but they are!! Its become one of the dishes that pops into your mind and you just dont stop thinking about them until the warm, roasted, sinfully-delicious, bacon-glazed bites are in your mouth! The Host/Owners are very attentive and genuinely care that you are happy with every aspect of your visit. This is one of our favorite spots when we are in town.Big back room for large groups, also a plus!
This place is doing itself a huge misjustice by calling itself a grille and tavern. That makes it sound like any other bar and grille, its nothing of the sort. Its every bit of a casual and trendy modern fine dining establishment. Food was great, service was good, we loved the outdoor patio. Large beer and wine menu. And to think we almost didnt try it out because I was adament that my wife deserved more than a grille and tavern for her birthday.
Wonderful place to eat in Avon Lake, Ohio where we love to eat every time we visit our family in the Cleveland area. Parkers Grille and Tavern is family owned and operated, with a delicious menu with everything from Chefs top choice steaks and fish, to gourmet flatbread pizzas, to soups, salads, fries, sandwiches and homemade desserts! They even have safe, gluten-free specials for me, the vegetarian/ lactose intolerant/ Celiac- Diseased one! It is always delicious 😋
Came in and put our name down for 2 people. Was told 45 minutes for a wait and 45 minutes had gone by and then was told we had to wait another 15 minutes while several other people with reservations came in getting seated right away. So many people came in and walked out because of the long wait. This place shouldn’t take reservations as you are losing a lot of business. We ended up walking out because of the wait and will never go back here.
My wife and I went there for dinner last night for the first time had a little bit of a wait for a table which was no big deal after being sat at our table we waited for about 10 minutes before our waitress came to take our drink order we got our drinks then waited another 20 minutes before she came back to take our order I ordered the cowboy ribeye medium rare and my wife ordered the Reuben both with salads took 15 minutes to get our salads we finished our salads then waited another 25 minutes for our food my wifes food came out fine mine wasnt so good the ribeye came out cooked 3 different temps medium, medium rare and raw the asparagus was cold and raw and the mashed red potatoes was the only thing cooked right Im a retired Chef I try not to complain but when you are a steak lover like I am and spend $35 on a steak dinner it should be cooked to the right temperature that you asked for I talked to the manager and he did take 10% off our bill but we most likely wont be back sorry
A bit pricy if you want something on the higher end of the menu, but to be expected. Good range of drinks, good list of on tap beers. A little loud, but being a sports bar-esque establishment it should be expected as well. Good service, good menu. Solid grille.
Went last night (my first time there) with my Uncle.#1 - the Salted Caramel Chocolate Martini was AMAZING (so was the second one)#2 - the wedge salad with crumbled bleu cheese, and bleu cheese dressing was absolutely delicious (although I am having the rest of that for lunch today because it was huge)#3 - the filet mignon was perfectly cooked to my request of medium rare, and it literally melted in my mouth.Unfortunately I didnt have room for dessert, but will make it a point to go again specifically keeping dessert in mind
Great food, great service, nice relaxing atmosphere, medium to high price but worth it!
There on top of the covid issue. Great service food delicious we had the stuff mushrooms. Breaded wall eye and rib eye taste was supreme
Gift cards. Previously have dined there. Excellent
Was there for an event in the party room. Venue was clean and organized, food was good, and staff was helpful.
Soup was barely warm, cajun lamb chops were excellent. Service ok. Prime Rib special sold out by 6:30 pm.
Excellent food, great atmosphere, great service. Also, the womens restroom is stocked with emergency feminine products, body spray, hair spray, and hand lotion!!!
We’ve had great service and food every time we’ve been to Parker’s. While it can be a bit dark at times, the atmosphere is casual and family-friendly. Certainly a place to check out
Great food with a nice ambiance. For Avon Lake, this place is beyond par. The owner is a friendly guy and the steaks are phenomenal. Pricing is decent and the service is great.
The food here is excellent. We had sandwiches and appetizers. I would recommend them anytime. The waitress was exceptional.
Good ambience & service. My wife sent her filet back twice ( undercooked ), still couldnt get it right. Server was apologetic & manager offered free desert. Would consider going back.
Nice place to dine. Friendly staff with good service. Have eaten here several times and it has never disappointed. Recommend you try.
I had the Korean Chicken sandwich. It is my new favorite sandwich. The flavors were awesome.
Food was excellent, we had ribs. Service was amazing! Thanks Allen. Go if you can, youll enjoy it.
I enjoyed a tasty rib eye with mashed taters and my dining accomplice enjoyed a pork chop and loaded baked tater...well certainly be back....
When I want to take my wife out to a romantic dinner this is the spot! The steaks are amazing, staff is great, and this place has a great atmosphere and arrangement.
My wife and I went to Parkers after a long work week. Couldnt be happier with the food, ambiance, and service! Great place to unwind and have good food. Love the 80s music!
The Ceasar salad is great... Au gratin pots wonderful.... The prime rib was hard to cut and not seasoned like it used to be... So disappointed in it
Food is so good. The wait staff were friendly and attentive.
Food and staff were amazing good for A special occasion a little pricey for our normal date night
Good drinks and food! The patio was great for our family.
Part of the chicken was tough. Ribs were dry. May give them another chance.
Loved the appetizer, food & service. The receptionist Jaycie was delightful too!
Takeout menu is excellent, service is friendly and quick. Food was perfect, even after the drive home.
Very good food, nice that they have low carb options and high quality.
Parkers Party Room for Baby Shower!! WOW! Parkers Grill amazes me! Surpassed my already high opinion of their service and food! ♥️
Just delicious food, great service. Owner is always there. Best burger in the CLE
Awesome environment, great food, very reasonable prices and wait staff are very friendly and professional. We love this place, check it out...you wont be disappointed.
Exceptional food and great service. Prices were great given quality of the food
I had the crab cakes and they were very good, but my guy had the shrimp and grits which I tried and thought was amazing!
Great food, ambiance, and the owner is often there to ensure each guest leaves happy.
Good food, good atmosphere. A notch above standard bar fare and if you like Moscow mules, try the Garden Mule with that hint of cucumber.
Food was very good. Staff was attentive and friendly.
Good upscale food in comfortable casual environment. Friendly service. Definitely will go back!
Great service and food. Atmosphere is pleasantly relaxed on par with more expensive establishments
The food and outside patio were nice. The first waiter we encountered was crabby when we ask to move outside. Really his behavior was uncalled for.
Great ambiance, very efficient wait staff. Delicious menu items. Wide selection within different price points.
Delicious prime rib dinner and service was excellent. Will be back for sure.
The service is regularly efficient, fantastic mood, very nice staff members. Will eat here again when I am in the area.
Steak and potatoes had spots with too much salt, otherwise it was good. Ribs were tender. Service was good.
It has very delicious food that is not only plentiful but is also worth coming back to try its other entrees. You will not regret it
Great group event site. Good food and a attentive staff. Id recommend them for dinner or a business event.
Do not order the prime rib, tough and overdone. Was not charged,and rightfully so.
Very versatile menu and everything our group ordered was excellent...we will go back
I like the atmosphere. However, i DO NOT like the mustard. The little bead like texture needs to be changed..it was not satisfying when i ordered the cuban sandwich.
Always terrific dinners...we love counting on them.
Outstanding Service. Somewhat limited Menu, but well done.
Our server Ashley was awesome, food was great!
Great place! Service is warm and friendly, but the real highlight is the food. Seriously, get the lamb chops!
Food was great! service was a bit slow but they were busy with a big party.
This place is awesome get the cubano you cant go wrong also ask for Tony he is the best waiter they have on staff cant go wrong with any thing on the menu cant wait to go back!!

A genuine five star restaurant on a county with very few five star places. Great food and service in a place with some atmosphere.
I Had The Best Burger Ever. First Time There. Staff Was Unbelievable. Never Had To Wait! I Love It!!!!!
LOVE the food and atmosphere! Jim, the owner is a dear! Morgan is spectacular too!
Excellent. Patio servers were definitely understaffed but . . . Thats the way of the world.
Steaks taste good as other restaurants ,but it cost more than others and they dont have rice at all
Parkers always has great food and friendly staff. Tonight we sat on the patio and it was such a nice evening!
Great food and staffing. I had the pork chop and it was a huge chop! Delicious.
I really like this place. The service is a little slow but thats the kind of place that you dont rush and you take your time. I enjoy places that that.
Nice venue even though it is tucked in to a mostly abandoned strip mall. Nice outdoor patio with live music. Good food and beer selection.
Wonderful room and buffet for special events for around 100 people. Food was great!
Had the best dinner last night in a very long time. Can not wait to go again to try something else.
Great food, friendly, helpful and effectient staff! five star dining experience
Delicious food & great staff! The do have a nice variety of gluten-free options.
My husband and I split the giant beer cheese burger. It was yummy! Good atmosphere.
Our cocktails and meals were delicious. We will definitely be returning
Great food and service
I really would like to give this place 5-stars but just cant. Food is a little inconsistent between visits, if it wasnt for that this place would be without a doubt 5-stars. Service is 5-stars.

2022-04-26Pan seared walleye, so good. Lamb and stuffed peppers are a great choice for starters. Great service as usual.

2022-07-13When it opened, Parker’s was a delightful restaurant. Unfortunately, the quality has since slipped…Parker’s is still a decent restaurant, but frankly, there are a variety of other options that I would recommend in Avon Lake above it — this was not always the case.Slow service, a lack staff, booking confusion, and mediocre food has brought what was once a local staple, to a business in decline.

2022-02-23Went here on a random date night with the hubby. The wait for a Saturday night was pretty short (20 minutes) and the food was OK. Id say it was priced appropriately for the quality. The calamari appetizer was a unique compared to most places and cooked very well. Being a ribeye girl myself, Id be very surprised if that was actually aged 4 weeks. The flavor profile and chewiness were not up to par for me. Like I said before though, it was priced accordingly for just a ribeye. The smashed reds that come with it were bland and covering an entire large red potato that was super hard lol but I had enough food that it wasnt necessary. My husband got the fried wally and fries. He liked the wally but did not like the very thin, soft fries.Lastly, the ambiance was nice and the place was pretty packed, which is always nice to see. It was cute that they tried to fancy up the place by adding bath and body works spray and a couple of other toiletries in the womens restroom. This is a great place for a weekday dinner out or for a couple of young kids to celebrate prom night dinner or a more formal date of some sort, but I wouldnt go here for your 10th wedding anniversary or anything.

2022-03-13Summary: Low quality ingredients and poor preparation. One of the most sub-standard dining experiences Ive had in some time.As Avon Lake residents, weve heard of this place a few times and wanted to give it a try. I had high hopes as the menu sounded nice and the pictures online looked good. My wife and I arrive at 4 oclock and got an awkward greeting at the door. After that, things improved. Our waitress was knowledgeable and attentive - she was the highlight of the experience.We were offered bread at the table and also ordered a soft pretzel as a starter. The bread we were given was rock hard and clearly stale. The soft pretzel was warm, but had a taste of freezer burn. One of the dipping sauces I believe was cheddar cheese, but it was lumpy and poorly mixed/melted. Not a preparation anyone who cared about food would have been happy with. Another was chocolate but was extremely artificial tasting and looked like it was squeezed out of a plastic bag.For our mains, we tried the mushroom flat bread pizza and a rueben. We figured these would be good starting points. My wifes mushroom flatbread arrive lukewarm and was piled high with tasteless mushrooms that appeared to come from a can. There was very little seasoning on the whole dish, barely a hint of garlic and it all felt barely cooked and low quality. The rueben was acceptable, but it similarly it was a bit lukewarm and it didnt seem like the meat in the sandwich was made at the restaurant.At the end of the day, my wife took a few bites of her food and couldnt eat any more, and she was very hungry to start. I ate half of my sandwich. Also note we arrived at 4 PM, so the place was not busy. To be completely honest, we wanted to love this place. Its local and we very much support local businesses. I personally love food and cooking - but I just cant support the low quality ingredients and seemingly low effort preparation this restaurant offers.

2020-02-12The elements for a great restaurant all seem to be there but the execution leaves much to be desired. The place is too dark and noisy, our waitress wasnt too interested in taking orders and the food is OK at best and certainly not worth the premium price. Another restaurant that lacks attention to detail and in need of a few minor tweaks to improve matters significantly.
