Popped in for a quick bite with 3 others prior to seeing a play nearby. We were able to get in without a wait, at 6:15 on Saturday! Huge patio, but that was a 20 minute wait and we didn't have time/ I had the chicken Caesar wrap with a side of fries, I got the ranch fries, that were doused with a ranch powder, and were delicious on their own (even for my boyfriend who doesn't like ranch, though he did say they were a bit salty). I dipped mine in the buffalo sauce (and also put some of that sauce on my wrap for an extra kick!) my friends like taking their kids to play the free arcade games like Pac-Man. Tasty and fun!

Service was good, but food is terrible. Like just terrible. The hot toddy was good tho! I got the chicken sandwich with fries and a side of BBQ sauce. The BBQ was watery and tasteless. The chicken was terrible. Undercooked a lil rubbery. I will never come back here.

Mac and cheese was delicious. Fries were good. Ranch was kind of like Wingstop ranch but not as perfect.Fried chicken was very, very bland, and had a weird batter/crust covering it. Potentially tasted old?Vegan chicken sandwich tasted like death. Also potentially old?Servers appeared silently out of thin air. I was startled at least two times. Kind of like poltergeists!

While facing choice paralysis for a Saturday brunch, Parsons appeared as a sanctuary. My partner and I enjoyed the mac&cheese and “ranch style” fries first. Briefly we thought Parson’s Chicken and Fish a miracle. Then came the Hot Not Chicken Sandwich ……………..Vegetarian options: Hot Not Chicken Sandwich made me feel a bit sea sick

Small drinks, bland chicken sandwich breading and mediocre flavor, but good fries.

Excellent times at Parson's. Very good chicken and fish.Great service, the whole 9. The free video games and outdoor ping pong are fantastic for the kids...Just a wee bit on the spendy side...and I know I know it's Andersonville, so cost is implied by the locale.

the fish pieces were tasty. I asked for extra tartar sauce and received it. The order of cole slaw was plentiful, but a bit on the dry side of cabbage & lacked a flavorful dressing.

Fantastic service - the bartender was super attentive, had great recommendations, and was kind - will be back and shout out to the service and for being a chill place to go after work!

Manager is deeply unkind to staff and workers alike. The food is good, and the staff should be proud of the work they do under such trying management. But a bad manager makes the whole ambience uncomfortable and makes it a place suitable only for takeout. Not worth sitting in their large seating areas.

Parsons is such a great spot. The aesthetic is fantastic and it’s a good place to grab dinner or drinks and an appetizer. The service is outstanding as well! Highly

Absolutely amazing. We came in on a Friday night (a little earlier because we had tickets for a movie at 7pm so we arrived around 5:30pm and they were hopping!). We were greeted super warmly by what we later learned was a manager at the host stand who let us know there were not any tables available but we could sit at the bar. The bartender was clearly very busy but greeted us and took our drink and food orders quickly.We had a discount coupon, so the bartender flagged down the manager doing double duty at the host stand to answer some questions for us.The food took a little longer, but again, it was really busy so we totally expected that. When it came, it was awesome. We ordered mac and cheese, hush puppies, french fries, a smash burger, and a fried chicken sandwich. Everything was amazing. The french fries are my favorite type of fries, the mac and cheese was creamy and cheesy, the fried chicken sandwich was crispy and flavorful and the burger was juicy and delicious. We also got a beer and a cocktail which were also really good.We were able to check out quickly even with the discount needing to be applied and were able to talk to the manager and give some praise for both her and the bartender. And we made it to the movie in time!Overall, wholeheartedly recommend. Service 10/10, food 10/10.

The outdoor area is lots of fun, and I like the options on the menu. All the drinks are good and service has always been fantastic.

The plant-based chicken sandwich is excellent! As were the Brussels sprouts and fries and dipping sauces. The server was friendly and just the right amount of attentive. I appreciated the airy feel of the space and natural light, as well.
