Parson's Chicken & Fish - Logan Square

“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.”

“Everything was good. My only complaint is that the fried chicken had too much breading. Service was great and the outdoor seating has a nice atmosphere.”

“I’m honestly sad to be writing this. Parsons (Logan Square) used to be one of our favorite spots. It wasn’t just another restaurant to us. I even chose Parsons as my lunch spot after I was sworn in as an attorney instead of going somewhere fancy, because during bar prep it was my comfort place. But the last three times we’ve come, we’ve been disappointed. Two weeks ago when we dined in, our food came out in less than two minutes. When we commented on how fast it was, the server joked, “Yeah, we’re fast.” But I’m not looking for fast. If I wanted fast, I’d go to McDonald’s. I come to Parsons for quality. The food was cold. The fries were cold and clearly not fresh. Last night was even more frustrating. We ordered about $200 worth of food for pickup, and every single person was disappointed. The food was cold as if it had been sitting out for hours. What’s confusing is that when my husband arrived, they told him the order wasn’t ready yet. Were we were was literally two minutes away. So how was everything, especially the fries, already cold? It’s incredibly disappointing because we genuinely loved this place. But after three bad experiences in a row, it feels like something has changed — and not for the better. Sadly, you’ve lost us as customers. I truly hope this feedback is taken seriously, because Parsons used to be special to us. — Sepideh”
