What people say, in short
Parson's receives burger recommendations across its Chicago outlets, including Logan Square. Supporters call the burger surprisingly good for a chicken-and-fish restaurant, and some count it among their favorites. Others enjoy it while rejecting a best-in-city ranking, or prefer nearby alternatives. A diner who tried it once strongly disliked it. Praise for a closed northern branch should not be treated as a visit to this location.
