On Thursday, September 29, 2022, Parson’s Son BBQ in Fort Walton Beach announced that they would be closing their doors on Saturday, October 8th.

“All good things must come to an end, and so it is with Parson’s Son BBQ,” wrote owner Tom Harwell in a Facebook post. 

Harwell says that the economic climate has been difficult on his business and Parson’s has suffered both a significant increase in operating costs as well as a major drop in customer traffic this year.

“Due to these factors (and my age!) I have made the difficult to decision to permanently close the restaurant and pursue other career options,” he said. “We have been very blessed to have an amazing client base over the years and I am grateful for each and every one of you. I have made a lot of lasting friendships and I want everyone to know that I never took your patronage for granted and always strived to provide a quality product. And sometimes we actually did!”

  • Get to Parson’s one last time before the close for good. (6 Walter Martin Road, Fort Walton Beach, FL)
