Owned by brothers John-Thomas and Christopher Scott, Parker's on Ponce is Decatur's first independently owned steakhouse. The Scott family has always been extremely involved in the local community, including local government. The restaurant is named after John-Thomas' 12 year old daughter, Parker. The whole family is often seen at the restaurant - it is not a business to them, but a home - and they treat guests of the restaurant as family as well.

    We dined here because of the restaurant's $25 off $60 offer, and also, to celebrate our anniversary early. Liana, our server, was excellent and took good care of us. I enjoyed my glass of Pinot Grigio and my husband drank two glasses of the Viognier. The rolls were a disappointment this time because we enjoyed the sliced sourdough bread from our previous visit. My husband ordered two appetizers for his meal, including the grilled octopus and breaded calamari. I tried the octopus and found it to be fatty and chewy. He didn't mind, though, and enjoyed both of the dishes. I ordered the crab cakes as my entree and substituted broccoli and mashed potatoes for my sides. The broccoli was overcooked, but the mashed potatoes were delicious. The crab cakes were just okay and a little gummy. I will probably go back to ordering the salmon or trout on our next visit, as they have always been delicious. Apparently, we could not get a free appetizer for our anniversary since the coupon superseded the free dessert, which was okay because we were very full.

    The food was excellent the presentation I ordered salmon and the rice was really good. The salmon had terrific flavor and my partner ordered the steak that was done correctly for her taste. She said that it had perfect seasoning and baked potatoes loaded and she loved that she had a mixed drink and she said that was on point. This was our first time visiting Parker’s so our overall experience was two thumbs up.

    Great food and our server was fantastic. Although we were dining late, Caroline was just as bubbly and friendly like w were her first customers for the day! It was my husband's birthday and receiving a dessert gift from you was the "icing" on the cake. Parker's atmosphere is the best!

    The steak was not prepared to the right temperature (medium rather than medium rare). We were comped drinks as compensation.

    The tables near the bar were cold and drafty - no offer to move to warmer tables when we commented on room temperature discomfort Service generally ok- often the food and drinks delivered to wrong person- too much cross reaching by back waite, needs reminding how to set and pull service items The goat cheese begnients (sp) were very good 1 steak of 3 needed a tad more cooking - in spite of request to butterfly the filet Dessert for Birthday girl was a nice touch We’ve been here same date last 5 years- may be time to try something new
