Chicago Food Boys: Parsons Chicken and Fish

Hello Today we will be Reviewing Parsons Chicken and Fish

Ruben:
Okay this is like real southern chicken it is so good! it blew my mind. We started off with a nice seasonal locally made apple soda that was very good i would definitely have that again. Then we had the hushpuppies some cornmeal with a little cream cheese all wrapped in a delicious batter. The crunchy out side really complemented the corn on the inside. Then it was time for the main course Chicken. we all shared a whole chicken but we couldn't decide which one to get fried or grilled but he said we could get half and half so that was great. The chicken was so good. i preferred the grilled better then the fried, but the fried was still good. It also came with very good coleslaw, best i have ever had, and nice soft Texas toast which was also very good. And don't forget to try the yellow and red sauce it goes with the chicken so well, gives it a little spice. I liked the atmosphere of the place, very hipster and modern. The inside is small with probably around 6 tables and then there is a bar, but we did discover that there is a huge patio outside, but it's still too cold to eat outside, but looking forward to eating there when it's warm! The service was very good. our waiter was very nice and the food came out at a reasonable time. Overall i had a wonderful experience at parsons and i plan to go back soon!!!

So i have been here 2 other times and their fried chicken is really delicious and so flavorful. we got the skillet, which is a whole chicken, and you can pick half fried and half grilled. their grilled chicken is also pretty good. and the breading on the fried chicken is nice and crispy. the skillet also comes with coleslaw which is quite delectable and flavorful. and we got Texas toast with the meal too, which is really tasty and crispy, and also not the kind of toast you would have every day. their hush puppies are the best i have ever eaten, but that might be because i have only ever got hush puppies here. their butter beans are quite tasty in a nice southern sauce. oh and did i mention their apple sodas? they are really amazing! they're sorta like fizzy apple cider. if you go to their restrooms they have really cool wooden stall designs, and the restroom also has a nice fragrance of meyer's hand soap. but Parson's Chicken and Fish has great food and i will go back really soon!

This is my third time to eat here, and I liked it better each time. I prefer the grilled chicken. I had never had Texas Toast before, and I didn't know what it was, but it turns out it is just big buttered toast. They have an "off menu" special on Tuesdays: Hot Nashville Chicken, although it's spicy so I probably wouldn't like it. But it would have been fun to try it. We forgot they had that special, so we'll have to go back on another Tuesday. I liked the atmosphere of it a lot. It's small and apparently is usually very crowded, but it was empty for us all three times. I guess we're just lucky.
