Located in Chicago’s Logan Square neighborhood, on the beautiful Humboldt Boulevard, Parson’s Chicken & Fish enthusiastically celebrates and embraces drinking, eating, and general good times. Another project from Land and Sea Dept., Parson’s Chicken & Fish affectionately references the chicken and fish eateries prevalent to the West Side of Chicago, and found in cities, coasts and regions across the country – the sorts of places that offer affordable eats quickly, satisfying big appetites. Working against larger culinary trends, we’re intent on demonstrating that drinking and eating can be done using judicious, locally sourced and quality ingredients, but also affordably and quickly, in a (super) fun atmosphere.
Low-key fried chicken & fish stop with hip tunes dishing up cocktails, salads, sandwiches & sushi.

Overall Review:
NESTLED IN LOGAN SQUARE AREA OF CHICAGO. PARSON’S SPACE IS OPEN AND WELCOMING WITH BOOTH, BAR AND OUTSIDE BACKYARD PATIO TABLE SEATING.
FOOD/TASTE=
3 Piece Fish>A
$10.00
Fresh Pollock, Beer Batter, Tartar Sauce, Lemon. WE’RE WORTH IT. THE BATTER ON THE FISH WAS CRISPY AND CRUNCH WITH JUST THE RITE SEASONING. THE FISH WAS FIRM TO THE BITE, YET MOIST AND FLAVORFUL. AND THE TARTAR SAUCE WAS TOP NOTCH.
Ranch Fries>A
$7.00
Crispy Fries with Kosher Salt, House Ranch Powder, and Parmesan Served with Choice of Dipping Sauce. THE FRIES WERE SEASONED TO PERFECTION WITH A SIMPLE RANCH SEASONING DUST THAT BROUGHT A BALANCED OF SAVORY AND TANGY FROM THE SEASONING.
Parson Banana Pudding>A
Vanilla wafers and custard with a nice rich banana jam, topped with whipped cream. DIFFERENT, YET DELICIOUS.
ATMOSPHERE = > A
OVERALL ITS TWIST ON THE WEST SIDE AND SOUTH NEIGHBORHOOD
CHICKEN AND FISH EATERIES BUT WITH A UBRAN HIPSTER TWIST AND NO COUNTER SERVICE. THE MUSIC SELECTION VERY REMINISCENT OF CLASSIC SOUL, E.G. DURALACH, BARLETT STRONG, BILLY SHA RAE, ETC.
SERVICE = ABC
SET THE BAR WITH A YOUNG HIPSTER SERVER- BARTENDER WHO WAS VERY PERSONABLE AND COOL AND LAID BACK PERSONALITY.
Returning:
DEFINITELY
Final words:
TO BE CONTINUED
The chicken thigh was fried perfectly super juicy and tender inside, with this nice crisp on the outside. It was tossed in their Nashville hot sauce, which had just the right amount of heat for me. Spicy, but not the kind of spicy that ruins your taste buds. The coleslaw added this crunchy, cool contrast, and the American cheese melted just right. I don’t usually order cheese on a spicy chicken sandwich, but this one worked. The pickles were super tangy, which I loved, and the garlic mayo and Parson’s red hot sauce added even more layers of flavor. All of it came together on a soft brioche bun that held up without getting soggy.
The vibe at Parson’s was super chill, kind of retro picnic-style with a mix of families, couples, and dogs. Service was friendly, but not overly attentive, which was fine by me. I waited about 20 minutes for my food, which felt reasonable since it was a bit busy.
The sandwiches were a bit salty and one-dimensional. The shrimps were the butterfly shrimp that you can get at the grocery store. The fries had a good texture though.
The service was alright. It gets pretty busy but it took a long while until we got to order.
I won’t be coming back unfortunately.
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.

Our group had a selection of items from the menu and mostly enjoyed everything. A couple of people weren’t crazy about the coleslaw (had an unexpected flavor they didn’t liked) but others thought it was good. Good calamari.
Fries were typical. The peach pastry dessert was disappointing. Didn’t love the pickle soda but it was memorable!
Overall we enjoyed our meal.
Service was abysmal. Server took our order then we never saw her again until our food was long gone and we had been waiting on refills of water. Our dishes were even cleared by another member of staff minutes before she realized she had a table to take care of. It wasn’t very busy, she was just vacuous.
