parson's chicken & fish

this stop is an absolute must! hands down the best food! they have everything you can imagine under one roof, from dessert to hot dogs and pasta! not over priced either. had a chicago style hot dog and it's was soooo good! hot dog wasn't charred but boiled with all the fixings on a poppy seed bun... fries were fresh and not greasy... italian sausage sandwich was delicious with the right amount of spicy. you want authentic chicago food, thisplaceis it! you will not be disappointed!

parson's is one of those restaurants that doesn't really need an introduction... just go to the north side of chicago and ask for the best atmosphere, patio, frozen drinks and sandwiches, and someone will take you to parson's.

is there a wait? well, yeah... especially when the weather is really nice or peak hours on the weekend. but, it's worth it. just have a negroni slushy (or several) at the bar and people watch while you wait.

it's like a hot chicken restaurant in nashville, but of the chicago hipster variety... meaning you can also find menu items like my pictured pimento toast (still on the menu) and octopus salad (replaced with a farrow winter salad). very vegetarian friendly!

this is also a greatplaceto bring out-of-town friends... or, if you have parents like mine, they can find good food that doesn't sound "too weird."

best friend chicken, best patio, best negroni. hands down one of the best spots in logan square. and their hot sauces, they're delicious!!! also from the land & sea family, you will not be disappointed.the gm used to work at longman & eagle, and he's a super cool guy. you'll see him tending the bar, checking up on tables or even running drinks and food, just the way it should be. everything about thisplaceis top notch, as it would be expected from anyone in the land & sea family. the one thing that i find really annoying is that no matter what time you go there, there's always a chance you might have to wait. the indoor space was expanded this year, so we'll see how it works out during the winter when the patio is closed.

i almost missed my flight out of chicago . i almost missed it because i was busy eating fried chicken and drinking slushies at parson's. parson's chicken and fish was opened by the team at longman and eagle , which you may remember was one of my favorites from previous visits. i'd been hearing about their negroni slushies and decided to stop by on my way to the airport. theplaceis a fun, colorful, diner. they actually had negroni and dark & stormy slushies, so we got both!

not sure why thisplacehas a low score. the food was really great, friendly service , etc.
