“ I absolutely loved this spot and could not recommend more!! The outdoor seating area was nice and overall great atmosphere. Service was also fast and friendly. I got the shepherd’s pie with a side of carrot and parsnip mash.... so delicious and basically melts in your mouth. Looking forward to returning anytime I am in the area! ”
“ Had the Cod Chowder to kick it off and followed up with the fish and chips. Both were fantastic. The chowder hit all the right notes. Well seasoned, hearty, with good chunks of cod paired with a nice crostini. The fish and ships were classic. Good crunch on the batter, great flavor and the fries were excellent. ”
“ The Poppy and Parliament is a gem! The authentic British and Irish cuisine, crafted by the talented Irish owner-chef, transports you across the pond. Their fish and chips is a standout—crispy, golden, and perfectly paired with a pint of Guinness straight from Dublin. The cocktails are creative and expertly mixed, complementing the warm, lively atmosphere. The staff is incredibly friendly, making every visit feel like a homecoming. A must-visit for anyone craving a true taste of the UK and Ireland! ”
“ Cute british style pub with yummy food and outstanding customer service! Our entire party ordered the fish and chips and it definitely lived up to the hype! The fries were great and fish was hot and crispy! Our waitress Carol was so attentive and knowledgable about the menu! She was so fun and made our experience that much better! We had such a good time and will be back! ”
“ Great place that keeps the food authentic. Best fish and chips n this side of the ocean. Our server was Devon and he was attentive and gave great suggestions. Had the beef tar tar and man that was delicious. Cheers! ”
“ I walked in expecting a humble plate of fish and chips, a little nostalgia trip to my childhood, and instead I got a one-way ticket to Flavortown. Like??? Who gave this chef permission to absolutely slay my taste buds? I was ready for some basic battered cod and fries, not a full-blown culinary revival. This is the tastiest food I’ve had in ages—like if comfort food got a Michelin star and a rockstar attitude. ”
“ Oh gosh, where to even begin?! The food, drinks, dessert, service, just all of it was such a treat. My husband and I went for our date night, and we had such a great experience that even though we're an hour away, we plan on becoming regulars. We especially loved the sticky toffee dessert with the hot buttered rum to finish dinner! ”
“ My God... my husband and I love this place! Ever since we first visited a few years ago. This place has turned into our favorite restaurant in Huntsville. The Tomahawk is quite a delight to have for dinner (call ahead to ensure they have one and can make it for you around the time you visit). Their shop upstairs... Omgeez I love it. There’s no place in Huntsville like Poppy and Parliament. Their restaurant is clean, the staff is helpful and knowledgeable, and I love how they always have something new to offer. The owner walked us around the shop the first time we visited and told us how the restaurant got started. I appreciated that he took the time to speak with us and show us the shop. Two people’s names who stick out in my mind are Devin and Kenesha. Devin was our waiter on our first visit and was so great, he made the experience very nice. Kenesha was our waitress when we got our first Tomahawk (anniversary dinner) she was very timely with everything and made the experience very nice that night. ”
