My wife and I were there for the lunch , I had a three Pieces of fish and my wife had fish sandwich both were excellent. We also ordered the Baked beans and the mashed potatoes with gravy I can’t say how much I love the mashed potatoes I think I could shrink the gravy by itself. Service was excellent we had a good experience and I would recommend This place to anyone.
My pup and I LOVE this place! Drinks and food are always on point and the staff is super friendly!
Anytime you drive by Parsons there is people coming and going. The curb appeal from the exterior did nothing for me so I never stopped in. I was building out a barbershop space right across the street a couple years ago and I never felt the need stop in. Boy was I missing out! My wife wanted to try a place out that she had heard about and I was a little surprised when we pulled up. Walking in was definitely a better feeling, the energy was good the place was super clean, and we were greeted immediately. We ate inside because the lovely patio area was packed, and when our food came out my mind was blown! Best chicken sandwich in chicago. Have to come back and hopefully sit outside. Try Parsons out, you won't regret it (unless you don't like a lot of flavor)
Parsons has been our go to neighborhood spot for YEARS! And it’s because we haven’t ever had a bad experience or meal once. The drinks are always good, I love trying the rotating cocktail menu. And the food - well it’s the reason we’re all here. This was our first time ever trying the fish because it’s hard to not order your favorite chicken dish as soon as you hit the table. But the fish was surprisingly up to par with how amazing the chicken was. I wish the breading was a little heartier but other than that never ever disappointed coming here. Also get a slice of the pie EVERY TIME!
Parson’s is such a great spot for casual, outdoor dining with a large, dog-friendly patio.
I recommend their Purple cocktail that tastes like a elevated grape koolaid in the best possible way! Their drink list is extensive and has something for everyone—including a section of mocktails.
Their hot nuggets are awesome! The perfect level of heat that paired well with their tasty honey mustard. We also tried their famous hush puppies which were golden on the outside and fluffy on the inside with speckles of ham hock throughout.
Was in my save list from a long time and finally last week I got a chance to visit.
Really loved the setting.
Great food great service. Different touch on mac and cheese, flavor was really good.
We got ranch fries with spicy mayo, really loved it.
For the main course: we ordered parsons hot sandwich and fish sandwich (check out the pictures with this review)
Chicken and fish were perfectly fried, sp fish it was fresh and it tasted amazing.
Definitel recommend!
5 stars for the food, service and setting!
We ordered a hot chicken sandwich. It was good, but a little spicier than what we’re used to. We also ordered the sampler platter. It was a huge bed of fries with two fried shrimp, two hush puppies, and two chicken nuggets. The fries were flavorful and crunchy. The fried shrimp was okay. Their hush puppies are unique and popular, but we prefer them in a traditional preparation. The chicken nuggets were the best. Excellent seasoning on chunky pieces of chicken. Will definitely get a basket next time.
Always a great meal here! Staff is super friendly and accommodating. Keep telling myself to try something other then the chicken sandwich but it’s so good! Need to visit for Happy Hour, Mon-Thurs 3-6p for $10 Parson’s Fried Sampler!
Great food great service. The high puppies were excellent, nice flavor and perfectly fried. The dipping sauce has since heat. The chicken has a nice tasty breading and again perfectly fried. Fish too was excellent. And the dipping sauces were really great too. Unique flavors. The coleslaw was also great. Flavorful, not too sweet. Enough to share. Two people could easily share one coleslaw and a half chicken. The only disappointment was the below average chocolate milkshake with the evil paper straw. Otherwise awesome!
cute place. ordered the fish and my partner ordered the chicken. was a little disappointed they didn't have catfish (I'm southern and catfish and fried chicken just make sense), but the cod had a good fry on it and the tartar sauce was reaaaally good. drinks were also good and strong which I appreciated. was not a fan of the coleslaw though. my partner liked their chicken
I regularly went to Parson’s 10 years ago, their first year of being opened and it’s as good as I remember it! Still killing it with the hush puppies, hot chicken and fries. Tried the fried fish and that was also great. Such a good liquor menu/ selection too and fun frozen drinks. Staff is really friendly, too!
Great patio for a group meal in the summer. Food is consistently good and drinks are consistently strong. Service has never been less than great. Love coming here for the shrimp basket and SO loves the Mac and cheese
