Parish Publick House Aptos

"Be careful they are hot!" our waitress said so I immediately stuffed a fried pickle in my hole and burnt the roof of my mouth. The first couple layers of skin hung down like those drape things in a car wash, I continued to stuff pickles like busses into the carwash that was my mouth. Their house made ranch (is that a touch of dill I tasted in there?) soothing my blistered pallet.. I have never had fried pickles this good or this painful. I may never order them again but I know I've had the best.
Our burgers, the Belushi and Huckleberry came before we could finish playing carwash with our molten pickles. They cut our burgers in half so we could share. They were both decadent and juicy, the toasted bread on the Huckleberry really gave it to the roof of my mouth and unfortunately I finished my half before I noticed the horseradish sauce in a cup on my wife's plate. That would have been good. The Belushi was so over the top and the pocket of Blu cheese was entirely on my half (score!).
Then I remember awesome onion rings and incredible garlic fries, everything was a blur at this point, maybe my arteries had clogged or all the blood had gone to my gut or both?
What an experience, just what we were looking for.
As we stumbled out on a food high we noticed others having drinks, talking and laughing. They had not even ordered their meals yet. We were so focused on our amazing burgers, I hope we gave them a good spectacle.
Next time we will split one burger (not fried), with a side salad, order a couple of their great looking cocktails and take it easy.
Oh, the parking... Forgetaboutit!

I have no notes! 10/10
They seem to be known for their wings, and I can confirm they are delicious. The garlic fries are the best around. Crispy cronchy feather-weight beer batter style. We split a burger that we added bacon and cheddar cheese. It was an amazing, tender-moist, fatty-flavorful patty. My partner said it was the best cheddar he has ever had. We were obsessed with the fries. We brought half the winners home but other than that we demolished the meal. For wings, a burger with side of garlic fries, one cocktail and one beer, it was $55 before tip. We left them with a hearty tip with happy bellies. It's so nice to come home from a restaurant without feeling like it was a let down! We were very satisfied and will be back soon. Great staff also!

I loved my salad! Didn't pay attention to what Hubby ordered, but he scarfed it down and we were very pleased with the beer selections, too. Dog 🐕 friendly outdoors which was nice since we brought our little guy as did several other parties dining outdoors.

Omg yum! We tried this spot for the first time and we were not disappointed. The fried pickles were amazing! Fries crispy and delicious. Wings were good not as hot as expected but still good. And the maiden club was my favorite. So tasty. We got take out, easy online ordering and friendly service.

This place absolutely rocks! They rotate a dozen good beers on tap, and have a solid mix including IPA's and sours. Mostly local, all really good. They also have a full bar and a handful of signature cocktails. The menu covers all of the traditional pub grub, but also has a few unique and rather amazing burgers. The Belushi has a patty stuffed with blue cheese and bacon, dipped in a light tempura batter and then flash fried. It is ridiculously good! Also check out their wings. Several different sauces available, plus two hot ones: Run for the Hills, and Rocket to Uranus. Looking for a great pub meal? This is your place.

Great place to see games and enjoy Irish ☘ food. Had dubs specialty cocktail and fries, delish! Also burger and bangers were great.
Amazing service and pleasant all over. Thanks!

Super yummy! The food was great, loved the music, and our serve was extremely friendly & helpful.

Passing through Aptos & we are so happy we chose Parish Publick House for dinner. Fried salmon with garlic fries, delicious. Fried artichoke hearts, delicious. The kids had mac cheese bites & chicken stripes, delicious. We shared chocolate chip bread pudding with ice cream for dessert….delicious. Service was friendly & attentive. Thanks for a great experience 😊

Food was great, went their for lunch with my dad and my son. We all loved our food and had a great time. Staff is always awesome! 10/10 will be back!

Great burgers and fries. A little loud inside with not enough heaters for the outside tables but very nice decor, and staff. I had The Filthy Freddy which has a patty stuffed with cream cheese and jalapeños, beer battered then deep fried. It came pre-cut in half which presents very nicely but made the fillings all burst out with the first bite. Overall, loved the food and I would go again. Highly recommended the deep fried artichoke hearts.

Now these folks know how to cook roast beef! Try the Irish Dip, killer yummy!! Generous sides offered; had the monster/wonderful onion rings! Attentive, fun people work here....they'll take good care of you!!

Great service and surprisingly delicious salmon fish and chips! I was so dubious about the salmon fried, but I was wrong. It's delicious. Don't be almost me - try it, you'll like it! But I do wish they'd have Heinz ketchup, fwiw.

Ordered the out and in and fried mac bites. Server was super friendly and checked in often, offered water right away. Burger was delicious and mac bites cheesy good. I recommend stopping by the digital display to look at the beer list. Went on a Saturday around 11:30, no one was there yet. Good experience, love the outdoor patio.

First time here and we were plesently surprised. We shared the roast beef sandwich and a side of artichoke hearts. The house white wine was good along with a local draft beer. We will definitely be coming back

Really good food and very friendly staff. We were seated right away, and our good came out fast. The place was hoping and their staff was on point. Plenty of terrific food and drink options.

I highly recommend the Parish Publick House!

Great experience! Great food! Great service! Everyone was super nice and helpful, food was delicious and good size portions!

This place was awesome the menu is big with lots of great choices. Great beer, great burgers! (Not pictured, Dixie Pickles-deep fried pickle spears)

One of my favorite bar/restaurants in the area. Love sitting at the bar hanging out! 9/10 (they do not take American Express)

Went with a big group for a post-run in the forest beer. The owner was so happy to have us, and made us feel welcome and the food was amazing.

Well...atmosphere...is absolutely perfect for what it is. Everyone is really friendly...even when you can see they are super busy. I've had take out from them on St. Patty's day 2022, and this year (2023) we went in. It was so good in person - even though they were packed with basically standing room only. That was March 17 and it's now April 19...and we've been back twice. They have some really delicious and interesting food. Once I had the Red Roof sandwich...melted sharp Irish cheddar, and lots of veggies on a really good sour dough. I'm kinda a horseradish nut and there horseradish tastes like it's fresh...so after I enjoyed the first half of the sandwich I had the Server bring me some horseradish and it was over the top! I left with a nice warm feeling of happiness and a clear head thanks to the horseradish!

Everything is very reasonably priced. The only reason our bill was a little bit bigger was the drinks. I sure hope they get some more of the barrel aged Lagunitas stout...that beer was delicious!

Thank You for your wonderful service and food - can you really keep it up?

Looking forward to my next visit...and if you keep it up I can tell you will keep me fat and happy for a long time! 😁
