Parrot's Cay Tavern & Grill

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.

I was visiting my son and he said they had great wings. He was not wrong. There is a type of wing for every taste to include those with cast iron stomachs. We started with crawdads which were ok but not great, not surprising for a place 1400 miles from New Orleans. The wings were big meaty and tasty. You can get traditional buffalo or their own shark sauce rated on hotness from from 1 to 40. We had a range of 3 to 15. 15 was pretty hot so I'd hate to sample a 40. The onion rings were delicious as were the fried cheese. Best of all was the peanut butter wings. I would never think to put a peanut butter sauce on wings. However, it really works. They were delicious. They also help cool your mouth down after eating a more spicy wings. They have a large collection of beer on tap. The prices are very reasonable. On a final note, I did not realize that gambling was legal here. There was a blackjack table as well as some slot machines and a station to pull papers out of a bin and potentially win a prize. To top it all off one of our party won $50.
