The Thirsty Parrot Grill - Hempstead

A local drop in kind of place. Been going there for years. New ownership growing pains are to be expected but getting better as new folks get the particulars figured out. Bike Friendly, Biker Friendly, Folk Friendly, Dog Friendly, just an all around goodplace to grab a quick meal and a cold one...or just a cold one

It's a bar, it looks like a bar, the patrons look like bar patrons. I was expecting typical bar food, but was pleasantly surprised. The staff were friendly and the service was great. Will be back in the future.I had a ribeye quesadilla and a burger, quesadilla was good and the burger was fantastic.

We decided to give the establishment another try since the ownership had changed and we were very disappointed in the food and beer. I ordered hot wings and needless to say my wings came out so crispy there was no meat left and the hamburger that my boyfriend ordered would have tasted better if we had got it from the gas station next door. We both ordered beers and they were warm and terrible to taste when you go to an establishment and pay at least 4 dollars a beer they should be cold when you get them and not warm they just taste terrible at this point. However since this last attempt to give the establishment another chance after being our go to every Friday night to eat and have drinks for over a year and then the service and food start to decline in taste we have decided never to go back. Word of advise get a new menu and try some new items especially if you are gonna charge the prices you do and make sure the beers are ice cold and dressed properly when asked for them to be dressed.

Good but average ice house (Bring your own bottle/liquor. Buy soda, other mixers, ice, wine and beer from bar) Pros: Drink, eat, hang out, bikes, jukebox, pool, other games, cool barkeeps and customers. No real Cons except not enough exceptional Pros.

Great food prices are reasonable great place to hang out in the country specialy if you have a bike, the service is awesome ?
