First time here. Chicken and fish were liked by everyone who ordered them, and I enjoyed the veggie sandwich. I'm not a vegetarian anymore but it sounded delicious - and it was. 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.

I hadn’t been to Parsons in years, and this was my first time at the Logan location. Honestly was really impressed! If you want some good fried food and a fun atmosphere, this is the spot. Usually not a slaw guy on a chicken sandwich but theirs hit the spot and wasn’t overbearing. It’s a great spot for a larger crowd too, and there’s something for everyone on the menu. Definitely good to check out!

The chicken is excellent, the drinks are very good. Across multiple visits, the service has always been friendly but variable in attentiveness levels from the staff. Dinner and later service has been typically better than lunch service.

Will definitely be back! Our server was amazing. We sat outside and it was wonderful vibes. I got the shrimp basket and it was very filling.

Good food that would've been great if the temperature was consistent. Fried fish was tasty, but 2 of the 3 pieces were room temperature while the 3rd was fresh. The hot chicken sandwich was great. Fries were good. 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.

My girlfriend and I stopped by Parsons on a sunny Saturday afternoon looking for a quick bite, and we were drawn in by the solid reviews. We each ordered the Nashville hot two-piece chicken, which came with incredibly juicy and crispy pickles. We also shared the cod and shrimp combo—both were perfectly crispy and packed with flavor. I especially enjoyed the cod; the light batter let the flavor of the fish really shine through. While the chicken was a bit spicier than I prefer, the portion size was generous and satisfying. Overall, a great spot for tasty, well-prepared comfort food.
