Parrot's Cay Tavern & Grill

"I was curious about the food here, and I was surprised. It's small, dark and loud and I was told it wasn't that busy. I'm not into crowds, so eating in wasn't in the cards. The Cajun pasta with the crawdads wad the way to go. Little flavor bombs and cooked perfectly. The Mardi Gras pasta was equally tasty. Very good sausage and ham that you didn't have to search for in the pasta. Both of these I got at level 12 heat which was just right. You know it's right when your nose runs. I like that you have a choice of how hot you want the spice level. I can only imagine what the 40 level is like. The stir fry would have been better with pasta, the rice was a let down. The shark sauce was spot on with the wings. A little sweet with the heat. I'd like the sauce on the side and a crispy wing, but that's my taste. Overall I was happy with my first visit and I'll be back to try something new. Don't be intimated by their security at the main door, they take underage drinking seriously and it's appreciated."

"It's the wings for me. Shark sauce level 15. So sweet and spicy and the size of theses bad boys never disappoints. Oh and the wine... so cheap. Only down side its closed on Sunday, the day I crave wings the most!"

"Walked in and it was dimly lit with writing all over the ceiling tiles and that faint smell of spilled beer wafting through the air. I knew immediately it was likely gonna be some of the best food I would ever eat. When they brought out my wings on a picnic paper plate that sealed the deal. Best wings hands down. Shark Sauce 10s and fries absolutely hit the spot!"

"This place is fantastic! (I've never actually sat down here to eat/drink, I always get it to go so I can't comment on in person experience) I've had just about everything on the menu and it's all delicious, it's like the Ralph, not a bad seat in the house/not a bad thing on the menu. The shark wings are big and juicy and absolutely tasty and as it should be after eating wings, my hands look like I just delivered a baby. The wings are my favorite, forget the other wing places in town, this is the place for wings. I also love the Cajun pasta dishes, the seasoning is on point and the sauces are excellent, very tasty. My other favorite item is the hush puppies, they're very tasty and cooked to perfection and I can eat them like popcorn they're just go good. I would highly recommend everyone and anyone try this place. No they don't deliver or use any sort of delivery app, you have to go in person to eat or pickup, but it's totally worth it! Definitely a hidden gem in Grand Forks."

"Great bar, great food! Staff & Owner are awesome! The shark wings and jambalaya are the "signature" dishes and they are excellent! They have spice levels ranging from 1-40, and you choose this when ordering. Most people will find a happy medium at Level 5. The later it is, the more time the sauce will have had to boil and it will be spicier. This is one of those places that you have to visit in Grand Forks for the "UND Student" atmosphere (along with Darcy's and Red Pepper). This place gets crazy on hockey and football nights! Really fun. Cool decor as well."
