Parson's Chicken and Fish is the #1 ranked fried chicken joint in Chicago. Whatever you do, get something fried, like the classic fried chicken ! And don't miss out on their very popular negroni slush . Read more

Eater

Start with raw fish and oyster selections before moving onto the fried options that include chicken , fish of the day, hush puppies and baccala fritters . There’s funnel cake to satiate the sweet tooth.

Sure the patio is great, but when it's cold out, head in for fried chicken , fried fish and a whiskey spiked cider . When it's hot out the patio and frozen negroni is the move.

Eater

Call ahead first for availability, but Parson's in the past has featured two types of hot chocolate : One minty and one spicy with anchos. Order if without alcohol , because...what about the children? Read more

Eater

Parson’s patio is always a party and for good reason. The refreshing Original Negroni Slushy is a perfect summer Italian cocktail that makes the wait for fried chicken a little easier. Read more

Keep Calm and Negroni On. Wow. Outdoor seating is a must. Choice of Fish or Chicken ...I ordered both. A sort of take on Surf and Turf-poultry style. Enjoy!

Shannon Hallowell

So much fun, hot chicken is awesome. Never had something here that I didnt like. Frozen drinks are always a good decision. Great prices on beer specials

Kindall H

Try the negroni slushie & spicy fried chicken . Perfect balance of juicy, crispy & spices. Incredible outdoor seating area for warm weather, umbrellas included!

Antonio Burrowes

Fried chicken sandwich was amazing, the chicken gravy mashed potatoes ???? winning and the pickle their own pickles , you can't go wrong here they have ???? on Tuesdays!!!!

Bill Sindewald

What a great beer garden ! And the food and drinks are fantastic. Kitchen is not built for the amount of patrons this place gets. Prepare for long waits on nice weekend days.

Nina D'Angier

Order this: A round of Pompelmos and fritters for the table, hushpuppies and fish , jicama shots, split the funnel cake and polish off with the Red Hook. An experience you will want to do over & over.

Guillaume Beaulieu

Had the fried chicken with coleslaw and beer . Ot was excellent. The sauces in particular were super tasty. I whish they would sell it. The honey pie was the best!

Caitlin White

The fried fish . I can't stop thinking about it. The parsons hot 2-piece chicken is very spicy , but oh so good. Go there on a Monday and you won't have to wait to be seated. Service was great, too.

Eater

The latest Land and Sea Dept. project was kept quiet for months and opened unannounced. Now that it's open, however, diners are flocking for the fried chicken , fish , and Negroni slushies .

Jenna Kowalczyk

Probably one of the best fish sandwiches I have ever had. The negroni slush was awesome, even in the cold. Basically go with a few people and order everything on the menu and share. It's worth it.

Great dog-friendly patio . Nashville hot and regular fried chicken are both good but the crust was a bit thick and heavy. House made hot sauces were a bonus.

Paul Smith

This place was fantastic. The chicken was suitably crunchy and moist. The negroni slushy was refreshing, if just a bit grapefruit forward.

Jaye Jalso

That negroni slush is as good as everyone says. Chicken is good. Tasty food, though portions a bit small and pricey . Service can be great or pretentious , like the crowd. Mostly pretentious .

Chicagoist

No chunks of ice or instantly melted mess, Parson’s have fine-tuned the art of slushy production. The combination of flavor and texture works wonders to create my favorite frozen drink around town . Read more

Becca Kang

The chicken is perfectly fried & so juicy. The breeding is crisp to perfection. The fish sandwich was also amazing - the pickles , slaw , & Texas toast bun all complement each other so well .

Yann Guillemot

The Root down was pretty good, the other drinks looked good too. The fried chicken was really good, served very hot with a tasty, crunchy crust & 2 interesting spicy sauce . Service was also nice.

Cole Kennedy

Super fun spot to hang out with friends. Their house beer is brewed by Revolution and is actually delicious! Also, the mac & cheese is bonkers.

PureWow

Humboldt Park : We had no idea we loved fried chicken (or negroni slushes for that matter), but Parson’s knows us better than we know ourselves. Must have something to do with that perfect patio . Read more

Ozzy Noriega

Great patio for good weather days in the summer. Their frozen drinks are delicious especially the pisco one.

Travel + Leisure

A 1977 El Camino marks the entrance to this no-frills spot in Logan Square. Young chef Hunter Moore serves cobia ceviche accompanied by craft beers and negroni slushes .

Kisha Johnson-Smith

Parsons is a nice neighborhood find! The hush puppies , fish & Amish chicken were pretty good. We will return for the Hot Chicken . The Negroni slushy is a must as well !!

Oriana

Being a southern girl I'm a hard judge. In my opinion there's too much batter and not enough fish . The chicken is awesome. The hush puppies and slushies are damn good. A must have.

Mindi

The 3-piece fish fry was good with flaky pieces of fish , but a tad greasy. Loved the creamy coleslaw and grilled chicken ! Will try the fried chicken & negroni slushy next time!

Torie Gehrig

On a nice day, the vibe and patio here simply can't be beat. You ll feel like you have been transported to Malibu. The negroni slushies are dank but they also make a mean michelada

Eric Venker

Fantastic spot. Sit outside on the giant patio , and pair the 1/2 fried amish chicken with a few slushy negronis . Ceviche was also really great.

Chicagoist

Bring your dog to Parson's for some quality outdoor time with plenty of other neighborhood pups. There's plentiful outdoor seating for you and your dog to enjoy at this Logan Square summer staple. Read more

Shane Arman

Good service and cheap beers . White bean fritters were awesome, and the coriander aioli was the best dip/dressing I've ever tasted. Not kidding. Thumbs up!

Kirstjen Lorenz

I really enjoyed the Red Hook cocktail that the bartender suggested to me. The Parsons Hot was also very good. Gotta come back and try the fish .

Terrass Misher

Amish fried chicken is some of the best in Chicago! Also you gotta try the pimento toast For an appetizer

Brittany Nicole

The patio is great on a breezy summer night. Can't go wrong with the Fried Amish wings and a negroni slushy (if you like gin )

Nick Hork

Can't decide what to get? The portions are reasonable enough that you can pick a couple and not get overwhelmed. Save room for Bang Bang Pie and kill two classics in one trip.

Amy Graff

Fabulous patio (that became an ice rink for winter 2014-15!) and amazing negroni slushies but painfully overrated food. Far better chicken without the wait and attitude at Honey Butter in Avondale.

Time Out Chicago

Parson's Chicken & Fish is quickly shaping up to be the place to be this summer, whether that's because of the sprawling yard of picnic tables , the Negroni slushies or the expertly fried fish . Read more

tankboy

The staff is awesome, the patio is roomy , the food is AMAZING and the clientele is sans douchebags (at least while we were there). We'll definitely be spending more time here!

Chicago Tribune

Order freshly fried chicken or fish , an ice-cold Negroni slushy , and then try your hand at a game of pingpong . A dozen oysters aren't a bad idea, either. Read more

Dammond

Real deal. Chicken outstanding. Hush puppies no joke. Negroni slushies , that's dangerous. Service and owner awesome. Very chill vibe cultivated. Not fratty or douchy.

Amber

Frozen negronis and fried chicken sandos on the back patio with a side of corn hole and people watching . Summer doesn't get any better.

Scott R

Oysters were some of the best I've had in Chicago. The chicken sandwich was up there with Honey Butter and LilliesQ.

Niall Connellan

Amazing! The Parson's Hot is my absolute favorite. Get the Purple Drink in the summer when it's frozen. It's heaven in a glass!! #partypants

mary

First off, patio vibes! ???????? Along with a good beer , chicken & fish and the hush puppies ! Don't forget the hush puppies !

Haley H.

try the boozy slushies , the fried chicken , the hush puppies and baked beans ! go at night and sit outside in the back, they build bonfires

Adrian Brown

The negroni slushy is great (especially on a hot summer day), but I think their michelada steals the show. Perfectly spicy and refreshing.

Ruben Whitaker

The sauces are amazing. Also one of the best coleslaw i have ever had. the Chicago Food Boys.

Maggie Hellwig

The hush puppies are a must, as are the cocktails . Try splitting the fish/chicken with a friend. Plus, pretty damn friendly service .

Bobby Kennedy

Excellent fried chicken and shrimp , but the real star is the Negoni slushie cocktail . Summer isn't complete without being on the patio at Parson's.
