Fried chicken, fish, and iconic slushy cocktails on patio
"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
"Parson’s has some pretty good fried chicken and fish, but our main motivation for visits during the warmer months is their patio. It's 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
"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
"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
"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
