Parson's Chicken & Fish

"We like day drinking at the original Parson’s because of its excellent patio. But when the wind feels like a million little frozen daggers, we’re thankful for the Lincoln Park location. The inside is huge, has a separate bar area with ping pong, and serves some great hush puppies and fried chicken. And unless you’re a masochist who drinks negroni slushies when it’s negative 15 degrees, you should also know they have hot toddies and spiked cider." - josh barnett, adrian kane

"Unlike a reboot of your favorite superhero franchise with shiny new actors, the new Parson’s succeeds at repackaging the best elements of the original. It doesn’t have the same killer patio as the Logan Square location, but makes up for it with a bright, spacious indoor seating area. Get their $11 fried chicken thigh sandwich, which comes topped with slaw, American cheese, hot sauce, aioli, and pickles. They also serve a solid roster of beer cocktails for under $9 and an infamous negroni slushy for $11." - josh barnett, adrian kane

"This Parson’s doesn’t have quite the same killer patio as the original Logan Square location, but makes up for it with a bright, spacious indoor seating area. Our favorite way to order their fried chicken is the thigh sandwich, which comes topped with slaw, American cheese, hot sauce, aioli, and pickles. They also have a long and affordable roster of drinks, including beer cocktails and their infamous negroni slushy." - Josh Barnett

"The original Parson’s in Logan Square is a small spot with excellent fried chicken, and one of our favorite patios in Chicago. This location has a great patio too, but a much bigger dining room so you won’t have to wait for a seat indoors when it’s 11 degrees outside. Since the menu’s the same, consider this your cue to start drinking negroni slushies all year long." - josh barnett

"Parson’s Chicken & Fish has opened its second Chicago location in Lincoln Park, offering a menu focused on chicken and fish dishes." - Ashok Selvam
