About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Charming
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.

    Our friendly and professional server, Holden, made us feel welcome and was helpful without hovering. Our celebratory meal (Father's Day) for my husband was just perfect for us both. I'm diabetic and have specific dietary needs, which were easily accommodated. Lovely evening. Thank you! Claudia Stucke

    I treated my friend to the Father’s Day Brunch. It was terrible. I’ve come for Brunches in the past and had wonderful past experiences. Yesterday was the worst brunch I’ve ever experienced. However, I must say, The manager was extremely understanding with my unhappiness, and was fair with the bill. I had planned to have dinner over the summer, but after yesterday’s experience, I won’t be going back.

    We loved coming here for Father's Day brunch for the 3rd time. This year was a little busier than others but the service was still great. The vast selection of food ensured that there was something for even the pickiest of eaters. Excellent all around and we look forward to dining here again.
