"Parson’s is another spot that has an outdoor area more memorable than its food. We’re not saying the food is bad—the fried chicken and fish here are pretty good. But as with Big Star, we’re mostly here for the patio, which is big and enclosed so you don’t feel like you’re sitting on the street. Plus, there’s an outdoor bar serving negroni slushies. The large picnic tables make it perfect for groups, and there are big umbrellas to shade you from the sun. Basically, if there is an inside to this restaurant, we don’t want to know about it." - adrian kane, veda kilaru, john ringor

"Parson’s smash-hit negroni slushy is a staple for Chicago summers that ushered in a new wave of frozen cocktails. Other icy slush options include rum-based Dr. Coconut and citrusy Pisco Control. All are best imbibed on the restaurant’s expansive and popular patios. Parson’s has additional outposts in Logan Square, Lincoln Park, and West Town." - Naomi Waxman, Ashok Selvam
