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

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.

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

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

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
Antonio BurrowesMay 30, 2017
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!!!!

Try the negroni slushie & spicy fried chicken. Perfect balance of juicy, crispy & spices. Incredible outdoor seating area for warm weather, umbrellas included!
Caitlin WhiteAugust 12, 2014
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.
Guillaume BeaulieuNovember 5, 2014
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!
Jenna KowalczykAugust 7, 2014
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.
Jaye JalsoOctober 27, 2015
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.
OrianaSeptember 1, 2015
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.
Paul SmithMarch 26, 2019
This place was fantastic. The chicken was suitably crunchy and moist. The negroni slushy was refreshing, if just a bit grapefruit forward.
J LAugust 29, 2016
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.
Becca KangApril 4, 2014
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.
EaterJuly 26, 2016
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

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

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.
Cole KennedyOctober 8, 2018
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.
Kisha Johnson-SmithJune 29, 2014
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!!
MindiApril 18, 2014
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!

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

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

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.
Eric VenkerAugust 30, 2015
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.

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

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!
Yann GuillemotNovember 5, 2014
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.

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

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!

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

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 GraffMarch 6, 2015
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.

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
Brittany NicoleSeptember 26, 2015
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)
Haley H.May 30, 2014
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
DammondAugust 10, 2013
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.
Allison KaminskiJanuary 18, 2015
Hush puppies are a must! If you like spicy things get the hot chicken and put the sauces that are at the table on top!
maryMarch 11, 2016
First off, patio vibes! 👍🏻 Along with a good beer, chicken & fish and the hush puppies! Don't forget the hush puppies!

The negroni slushy is great (especially on a hot summer day), but I think their michelada steals the show. Perfectly spicy and refreshing.
Ruben WhitakerMarch 25, 2014
The sauces are amazing. Also one of the best coleslaw i have ever had. the Chicago Food Boys.
Michael HaydenAugust 8, 2014
Amazing chicken sandwich. Gun to my head I'm picking the fried chicken over the fried fish. Order the hush puppies, don't share them with anyone.
Craig MiddletonAugust 12, 2015
The fried chicken sandwich is legit! Get a tequila shot with a kale chaser!
