Parson's Chicken & Fish (West Town)

Local fried chicken and fish chain Parson's continues its expansion throughout Chicago, bringing another airy restaurant and patio to West Town. The red-and-white umbrellas and laid-back atmosphere remain intact, along with the menu, which is identical to every other Parson's outpost. You'll find fried chicken (served by itself or on a sandwich), fried fish, crispy hushpuppies and—of course—the signature negroni slushy. If you're in search of a spot to sit under the sun or set your tastebuds on fire with a seriously hot chicken sandwich, you're in luck.
