We asked the waiter a simple question, can you split our check? He said no, we’re a one check policy restaurant, if you don’t like that, you can eat somewhere else. Like just say no, we can’t do that… Buddy grew a porn stash and came to work zesty. We’ve been coming here for a couple years now, checks have been split before to expense lunch. Food is mid at best to be acting like that. The menu is also a la carte only which makes everything expensive. Take your money elsewhere.

Used to go to the parsons in west town years ago and it was always good. We got chicken at this one a couple months ago and it was rubbery and gross. Hoped it was a fluke, got the fish yesterday, and it was also rubbery and gross. Won’t be trying it again.

Just another underwhelming fried chicken sandwich. My friend and I went here and there were only a couple of other tables. I ordered the chicken sandwich and when the waiter brought it out, it was room temperature and bland. My friend tried it and said it was even colder than room temperature. I told the waiter, he comp’d it and I didn’t finish it for fear of getting sick if it had been sitting out for a long time. I declined the waiter’s offer for them to make me another one. We also had French fries, hush puppies and fried shrimp. They were ok. I had a Michelada and it was pretty good. I had looked forward to trying Parson’s for a long time and it was a big disappointment.

I enjoyed myself and the company I was with. It is a bit noisier than I planned, but still doable. The chicken was Tender and Tastey. They did not offer Southern Comfort Whiskey, was is my preferred cocktail of choice, but who he wine worked.

I’ve had parsons several times, multiple locations. The Hot Chicken Nuggets are PITIFUL. I ordered them last night to go and I immediately knew there is NO seasoning on them. There is nothing hot about the HOT nuggets and it’s actually starting to piss me off. Do the cooks have heat adversity? If I wanted regular chicken nuggets I would have ordered them. Not to mention the chicken last night was a bit tough and rubbery. I’m sad I can no longer return here. Didn’t even take a picture of the nuggets because they were so depressing, but imagine unseasoned chicken that costs $15.

Very good fish fry and Cajun roumelade! Very kind server but they do need to hire more staff with how busy the spot is!

Ordered for pick-up and arrived at roughly the same time the text message notified it was ready. Food was maybe room temperature and overall a disappointment. Would recommend dining in as I’ve had better experiences that way.

If you ever need a place where you don't need to spend a lot and have a decent time then this place is the best for that. You get good value for your money in terms of the quantity you get. However, do not expect the quality to be that high. I personally prefer a big fast food chain for some good chicken and fries. Drinks were alright. Overall a 3/5. Wouldn't recommend this place to my friends.

Food: Most of the food we ordered was pretty good, but the Mac and cheese is not as described - it’s now in some jalapeño nacho cheese sauce instead of the Merkt’s sauce they used to use, and it definitely did not have Parmesan on top.

When you order for delivery, their site redirects you to UberEats but does not ask you to log in. Some of the items they gave us were incorrect, and the restaurant apparently can’t do anything about it — and neither can uber eats, unless you thought to go back and manually log in as you were ordering. It’s just rather pricy for there to be no recourse at all if they screw up your order.

Burger was drenched in special sauce. Fries and hush puppies were good. Super SLOW service, music was cranked. Didn't refill drinks once until finally asked for check. Much better options in area.

Came here for the 1st time with 2 little kids for dinner. 5yr seems to like the mac and cheese. food took a while to come out...like about 30 min or so for a place with an easy to prepare menu items. the wild rice and chicken soup was not good (the rice was crunchy as in not cooked in portions of it---it was odd). the hot dark chicken and grilled dark chicken was tasty. prices seem okay but some of the plates dont have sides.

Got diarrhea here from the BLT!

Didn’t have soap in bathroom. Mentioned this to employees and they basically didn’t care

Really. Beautiful Fall night, the place is packed and you close at 9P? So, unfortunate.
