“As recent North Carolina transplants, seeing Cheerwine on the menu felt like finding a little piece of home. My partner ordered the Nashville hot chicken sandwich, and I went with the 6 piece fish fry with pickles and hush puppies. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and full of personality. The fish was perfectly crisp, the hush puppies were outstanding, and nothing felt like an afterthought. Our waitress was so personable and friendly as well. We will definitely be back.”
“If your craving great fish or chicken or anything of the fried variety its no secret in the area that this is the spot to be. Beer selection is not bad either.”
“The hard part about Parsons is do you get the fish or the chicken as they are both excellent! Their chicken is a perfect blend of not too much breading while also having a great crunch to it and I appreciate that they use a chicken thigh for the sandwich. Their fish is done quite well as the crust stays on nicely and is not too greasy. Don't sleep on their hush puppies and drinks, especially the frozen negroni. They are both popular for a reason, which is that they are both excellent.”
“We were going to go to Harolds but this place had better reviews. Very fast service. What i really loved was their tartar sauce. It reminded me of McDonald's but a zillion times better”
“I stopped by Parson's Chicken & Fish after hearing a few friends talk about it, and I finally get the hype. I ordered the Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich. The chicken thigh was fried perfectly super juicy and tender inside, with this nice crisp on the outside. It was tossed in their Nashville hot sauce, which had just the right amount of heat for me. Spicy, but not the kind of spicy that ruins your taste buds. The coleslaw added this crunchy, cool contrast, and the American cheese melted just right. I don't usually order cheese on a spicy chicken sandwich, but this one worked. The pickles were super tangy, which I loved, and the garlic mayo and Parson's red hot sauce added even more layers of flavor. All of it came together on a soft brioche bun that held up without getting soggy. The vibe at Parson's was super chill, kind of retro picnic-style with a mix of families, couples, and dogs. Service was friendly, but not overly attentive, which was fine by me. I waited about 20 minutes for my food, which felt reasonable since it was a bit busy.”
“One of our regular stops in Logan Square! Excellent chicken as well as other items. Plenty of outdoor seating which is where most people prefer.”
“We've never had a bad meal here, it's consistently good. We enjoy the fried shrimp, the peel and eat shrimp, the fish sandwiches, fries, the potato salad, hush puppies, chicken, pimento cheese and the negroni slushies!! Recommended for casual outdoor dining.”

PARSON'S SPACE IS OPEN AND WELCOMING WITH BOOTH, BAR AND OUTSIDE BACKYARD PATIO TABLE SEATING. FOOD/TASTE= 3 Piece Fish>A $10.00 Fresh Pollock, Beer Batter, Tartar Sauce, Lemon. WE'RE WORTH IT. THE BATTER ON THE FISH WAS CRISPY AND CRUNCH WITH JUST THE RITE SEASONING. THE FISH WAS FIRM TO THE BITE, YET MOIST AND FLAVORFUL. AND THE TARTAR SAUCE WAS TOP NOTCH. Ranch Fries>A $7.00 Crispy Fries with Kosher Salt, House Ranch Powder, and Parmesan Served with Choice of Dipping Sauce. THE FRIES WERE SEASONED TO PERFECTION WITH A SIMPLE RANCH SEASONING DUST THAT BROUGHT A BALANCED OF SAVORY AND TANGY FROM THE SEASONING. Parson Banana Pudding>A Vanilla wafers and custard with a nice rich banana jam, topped with whipped cream. DIFFERENT, YET DELICIOUS. ATMOSPHERE = > A OVERALL ITS TWIST ON THE WEST SIDE AND SOUTH NEIGHBORHOOD CHICKEN AND FISH EATERIES BUT WITH A UBRAN HIPSTER TWIST AND NO COUNTER SERVICE. THE MUSIC SELECTION VERY REMINISCENT OF CLASSIC SOUL, E.G. DURALACH, BARLETT STRONG, BILLY SHA RAE, ETC. SERVICE = ABC SET THE BAR WITH A YOUNG HIPSTER SERVER- BARTENDER WHO WAS VERY PERSONABLE AND COOL AND LAID BACK PERSONALITY. Returning: DEFINITELY Final words: TO BE CONTINUED”
