The Lost Parrot Restaurant and Bar

After reading the rave reviews, we were really looking forward to trying The Lost Parrot and very disappointed to find a notice from the Union County Sheriff’s Office advising that wasn’t gonna happen.

Outstanding wait staff! Friendly, attentive & fast.
The fish & chips are great though I was surprised to see the «chips» were actual homemade crisp in lieu of French fries, but they very good & not remotely greasy at all. The fish was home fried not frozen and very light, flaky and melt in your mouth good.
The honey garlic wings are yummy and out do any chain restaurant any day.

Great atmosphere and margaritas! Their food is great too and the wait staff is very personable. We LOVED the fried pickles and will definitely be back for more. The mac and cheese is fresh and tasty as well. Wings were flavorful and a favorite all around. They have entertainment at night as well.
We plan to return regularly.

Very disappointed in this restaurant. I went with my 7 year old son to have dinner on a beautiful sunny day, and we wanted to sit outside. I walked in to get a table, and no one was around even though the sign said «wait to be seated». I finally saw the owner and told him we are sitting outside and he said he would send someone out. Well we waited at least 20 minutes and no one ever came out to get our order or even acknowledge us! This restaurant states it’s a «family restaurant» but it’s all crap. The only people that were there were bikers, who are obviously the customers that get all the attention. I used to frequently go to Tumbleweeds (the restaurant before this one) and always got awesome service and awesome food. I miss them terribly. I have been here, at The Parrot before, and the food wasn’t even that good. The service was better than on this day, but after getting this treatment and knowing the food is pretty bad, I will never go back again. Thank Goodness Buffalo Wild Wings moved in to Monroe! We went to Wild Wings and my son saw the difference between GREAT service and POOR service. You lost out Lost Parrot. And I will make sure my friends don’t waste their time with this Lost restaurant.

Stopped in last night for the first time to have dinner and hear some karaōke. Terrible does not even begin to describe it.
Started off with ordering drinks. They were out of the house wine. We then moved to appetizers, what we wanted they were out of also. Ordered something else, took forever to receive. Then came time to order our meal. My Mom ordered the chicken salad and SURPRISE, they were out! Half of the food came out, other half took about 5 – 7 more minutes to receive. Horrible food. Salads were served in tiny dollar store baskets. My chicken tenders and fries were obviously from the freezer. No one was happy with their meal.
We ordered another round of Bud Light and the waitress asked if draft was okay, we obviously said no. She told us they were OUT! Who runs out of Bud Light?
All in all, the experience was horrific. Never again…

Food was very good & you can tell made fresh. I had chicken broccoli Alfredo, very tasty & reasonably priced. Hubby had hamburger steak gravy, mashed potatoes & okra. Okra was lightly breaded, just the way I like it. We will be back.

Awful! My daughter and I were served raw chicken wings. For a party of 4 I had a $ 25.00 gift card and my meal was taken off the check and half of my daughter’s was taken off, due to raw chicken and our bill was still $ 18.00. 1 soda and 3 waters. Not good food or prices! Will never visit again and praying we don’t get sick! $ 43.00 for 2−½ meals.

Terrible… disgusting…food was cold, raw fish… chicken fingers are cooked in same oil as fish so guess what??? 3 others in the restraunt and the service sucked…

Great food and the owner is great. The wings are a definite must have as well as the burgers. Good food for a good price.

super fun! The décor was fun, and there was covered, outdoor seating. The menu had a good variety. The food was good. Kendra, our waitress, was very friendly and gave us great service and suggestions. The drinks and the food were very reasonably priced. Had a great time. I would recommend The Lost Parrot to anyone… locals or just passing through.

Great food, great service. Very affordable. Fun place to go with friends and feel like your on vacation at the beach!

Love the atmosphere, food, service and concept for The Lost Parrot! It’s a little slice of The Keys in North Carolina with an island-​themed menu with specialties we love, like Wendell’s Homemade Pork Rinds that are seasoned and come to your table still crackling! The Pork BBQ plate is one of our favorite dishes, right out of the smoker; as is the Taste of the Keys. Everything on the menu is fresh and made to order, from hand-​cut steaks to burgers stacked high with flavor (ya gotta take «The Beast» challenge) to the tropical fruit salsa and custom-​crafted salads to help you beat the heat. The owners make you feel as though you are part of something special and there is always beach music to be had. When it’s five o’clock, we know we’ll be heading back to The Lost Parrot.
