This place ruined soul food for me. I had the beef jerk pot roast with mac and cheese and collard greens. It was heaven. It makes me sad that this place is so far away from where we live. The lady at the counter is really nice and friendly. Food was fast but it would be better if you order ahead for pick up. The ambience is very nice and has a relaxing vibe. Skip the kool aid lemonades though. It was so so.can't wait to come back here. read more

I recently came up with a "I Can't Stop Talking About How Good They Are" list. Food On The Run is now on the list. In my usual fashion, I arrived at the restaurant just as they were opening. Ordered lemon pepper salmon with sides of collards, candied yams, and macaroni and cheese. I have gone to enough Northern soul food restaurants to not have high expectations. Food On the Run blew my mind. The salmon was tasty and juicy without being undercooked. The collards actually had flavor; Lord knows that a lot of restaurants get that wrong. The macaroni and cheese was of the variety that you bring to family dinner with bragging rights. And the candied yams only needed crust. For takeaway, I had a slice of sweet potato pie that was real deal goody-goody. Because I got to the restaurant as early as I did, the dining area wasn't quite ready to receive seatings. However, they made a quick adjustment and I was able to enjoy everything right from the kitchen. I don't know what magic ball they have. They kept telling me I'll be back. They weren't lying. read more

I was looking for a restaurant that was open near me and I saw they had just opened so I decided to give them a try. Relax atmosphere and the cashier was very nice even during a crazy rush and this crazy time. They do ask for your telephone number to text you to tell you that your food is ready. The first time the cashier forgot to get my number and I wasn't aware that my food was ready. I've tried them a few times to just make sure that I got the review right. First time I tried the fried chicken with turkey spaghetti, corn on the cob and garlic bread. Second time I got turkey meatloaf with Mac and cheese and mashed potatoes. I also tried the lemonade and purple passion punch. The Fried Chicken was okay nothing to write home about I think that it could have used a little more seasoning. The Turkey Spaghetti was very good was perfectly seasoned and had the perfect balance and it was rare to see turkey spaghetti because not a lot of places serve it. Corn on the cob was okay mine didn't come with any butter and needed some salt. garlic bread was good. Turkey meatloaf was very good it was moist and came with gravy and rare again as places don't normally serve turkey meatloaf. Mac and cheese was really good had the perfect amount of cheese and it was creamy. Mashed potatoes was good it does come with the skin in it and it was seasoned perfectly. Lemonade and the purple passion punch were good but wayyy to sweet for me I added water to mine. Price wise it can become a little expensive. Overall good restaurant, food is good and I would try it again. read more

This is now my 3rd time coming to this restaurant and it's my final, all three times I've visited was a horrible experience. I stood at the counter for 10-15 minutes waiting for someone to take my order but the guy at the register continuously rolled his eyes at me and gave me attitude for no reason at all so I just decided to leave. Do not recommend at all, 1 star rating read more

This "neighborhood gem" did not disappoint. I had the smothered chicken with green beans and mashed potatoes. Everything was delicious. They have daily specials along with a few regular entrees. I can't wait to try other dishes. Their customer service stood out. The guys upfront were friendly. Customer service is everything, and hard to find in the hood. It's nice decor on the inside as well. I love a neighborhood gem. See you later, Chicago Food on the Run! You just earned a regular customer! read more

I've been meaning to try out this spot for a while now and I finally broke down and decided to give it a go. I went the delivery route via Uber and ordered the smothered turkey chops (which is served with rice) and you get two more sides so I got the loaded mashed potatoes, Mac and cheese, a small side of string beans w/potatoes and the purple passion punch. The string beans and loaded potatoes were ok. Although I barely had any gravy, the smothered turkey chops saved the meal cause they were seasoned well and soo tender! But....my mac and cheese was disappointing. It was edible but it just looked SAD. I was expecting a more creamy cheesy consistency but that was not the case here. The purple passion punch was good. Taste like grape kool-aid. Since I was very pleased with them smothered turkey chops, I would definitely try them out again and hopefully the day that I do, their mac and cheese game will be a lot more on point. read more

My school recently had a Black Student Union end-of-the-year celebration and this restaurant catered food for it. Let me tell you they provided so much food: shrimp and grits, jerk chicken, fried chicken, cabbage, collard greens, macaroni, yams, and choice of cornbread muffin or red velvet waffle. To me everything was seasoned so perfectly. It was like the spirit of our southern ancestors was flowing through the hands of the chef. I hope to use their services again. I definitely recommend this place read more

Came in today for dinner! I got the sweet potato salmon, broccoli and sweet potatoes. (Clearly I love sweet potatoes) EVERYTHING was delicious!! Surprisingly it was not crowded and due to covid restrictions I love that only 5 people are allowed in the restaurant at a time. The guy at the register was very welcoming and patient as I tried figuring out what I wanted. I love that the manager is always present and friendly. I noticed many mixed reviews, but give this place some time to grow and improve. I truly believe they are listening to customers concerns, and working to make things better. read more

Due to COVID-19, they will only let a few people in at a time, but it didn't take to long to get my order. Note: You have to order your food in person. They do not take orders over the phone. read more

Typical black establishment. Us black people need to really focus on our excellence and stop half assing shit. We need to be great. There is no way your website is saying one thing and then when i arrive its another. Id rather them go back to serving from their house it was way more worth it. We can't be charging these high prices and giving crappy service and serving. The new spot looks nice on the inside but its so dry. Idk what abt the vibe just wasn't giving. N lets train our staff to be great as well . If ya not gone be great.. ya not gone last long so ya might as well go back to serving out the house. Yes im mad. They jus have me thislil ass amount of food i paid 30$ for read more

Seen this restaurant on social media timeline. Went there for Turkey legs and dressing, but was told they only serve that on Sunday's. I ordered 2 orders of Turkey Chops which totaled $60. The price wouldn't have been a problem if the food was worth it. The food was so bland, literally no taste. I've had better Mac & Cheese out the box, my spaghetti was watery and our rice portion looked like someone had already eaten out of it. I was so disappointed. read more

Don't really feel comfortable leaving stars because I really didn't order much. I'd been craving there peanut butter cookies...Someone let me taste theirs a few weeks ago and I've been wanting them ever since. Well I called today and they said they'd have some ready in 15 min. So I was impressed that they'd be fresh out the oven. I wanted to order food but they said they didn't take call ins so I'm a little confused as to the curbside pickup advertised. When we arrived it was close to closing so some things were sold out (maybe they're really good). I ordered the peanut butter cookies (of course) and a passion punch ( like trying new stuff and I was thirsty). $7.17 2 cookies and a drink. Got to the car and took a swig if my Passion Punch only for it to be EXTRA sweet grape kool-aid. Don't mind supporting and I love great food...but $3.50 for kool-aid that I could've gotten for 25 cents was definitely a waste of money. Though prices seemed somewhat high (pepper steak $18) I will try them but definitely gonna just make me an entire pitcher of grape kool-aid at home. Oh. The customer service was pretty good for the interaction I had. And they have a pretty dope dining room behind the sliding doors. read more

Everything was good presentation of the special Sunday turkey leg was delicious. Mac and cheese delicious. Yams delicious. A lot of fat on the beef ribs, overly salty. I definitely felt that the meal was not worth 24.99 JUST for beef ribs. I'm 24 and never experienced swelling, but after a couple bites of the beef ribs and potatoes, I felt I might. Clean inside, looks like a nice seating area inside. Don't take orders over phone and expect a 35 min wait. Overall I probably wouldn't be eager to go back here and eat a meal. Maybe just a side or two. read more

To be honest, It's very rare you find a real soul food spot in Chicago that's GOOD! Like this was subpar and my chicken was burnt. Yams were the only thing good. Also, I ordered an extra side of stuffing and it was soooo salty. The Mac and cheese was definitely from a box, not baked at all and tasteless. the cornbread muffin good too! But i would not recommend this place read more

Chicago Food on the Run - Chicken dinner with two sides - Comfort Food Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I decided to try this place because I saw them on Instagram. The pictures of the food looked great. I ordered the Pot Roast with mac n cheese, and dressing. I also got a side of sweet potatoes. The pot roast was good and filling. The mac n cheese was good as well along with the corn muffin. The dressing was way too salty. I couldn't eat it. Now the sweet potatoes were next world delicious. I was mad when they were gone. Overall the food was good and staff was friendly. Just get rid of the salty dressing. I will be back and it's a black owned restaurant. read more

My husband and I ordered through Uber eats on a random Monday night. I had the stuffed chicken with greens and Mac, he had the honey chicken with mash and Mac... all I can say is DAMN... amazing flavor, Large portions, and looks beautifully put together! Thank y'all! read more

So I ordered the Creole Chicken with 2 sides....well, the chicken was #Dry & I couldn't enjoy it nor 1/2 eat it; the bell peppers texture was as if they were blanched & still firm as just cut (naw naw, then peppers should've been softer and taste of the seasonings the chicken was cooked with) The macaroni and cheese was sitting in a bunch of oil and not so tasty (mind you two types of elbow past was used & I'm a cook, so I spotted it out instantly). The sweet potatoes was the best thing served....although they were a bit dry (how do you NOT turn sweet potatoes over in their own juice? Looking like they sat under the heat lamp all day). The little bitty roll they wrapped in all that foil was beige.....as in needing to go back in the oven to get some color and a lil butter on it.Yup, wasted $25.90 on what should've been a great dinner. Don't know if their cooks were the original cooks; somebody stressing in their personal life back in that kitchen, or somebody had it in for the boss......but whatsoever it is, it needs to be fixed! It's the reviews that's going to draw or run consumers. read more

Tried this soul food place for the first time today and I don't understand how anyone is giving this place an honest review with anything over 1 star. None of the food had flavor or seasoning. My 11 year old threw her mac and cheese and greens away. I had to toss the red beans and rice and cabbage. The only item edible was the fried chicken. I suggest if this place wants to remain in business that they hire a different cook who can provide some flavor to the food. Sunday should be a busy day so it's no way I wouldn't have a top cook working in the restaurant. Also with everything going on near where this restaurant is located, they have the nerve to ask you to wait in your car while they make your food. This was my first and last time visiting this restaurant. read more

Order food from here for the first time. It is a soul food restaurant. The prices were pretty good and the food had good flavor to it. I had the pot roast & potatoes with 2 sides which were Mac & cheese and mashed potatoes. I also ordered the jumbo shrimp & cheese grits. Delicious the same day and even when I re-heated the food the next day. I definitely recommend the restaurant for foodies read more

The food is not bad and I support places like this but their pricing is outrageous. I understand food cost and operating costs but they need to do something about that, pricing is way too high and whoever answers the phone here can definitely be a bit nicer customer service also plays a big factor read more

Terrible . I went to the restaurant on Thursday dec 29 at 2:05 thinking they would be open . But no they were not I waited for more than 30 mins saw people come by and try to open the door. I tried to open the door , knock and called them multiple times but it went to voicemail. this is terrible I drove more than 40 mins to try this spot out . I will never come here and no one should either !!!! terrible service . read more

Listed as curbside service provided; however, when you call in they will not take your order over the phone. They instruct you to come in to order... explained I'm at work, and I get a lunch break. I need the order ready when I arrive. Asked if she could put my order through so I can pick up and have time to eat it. She unapologetically said no. Refused to even tell me approximately how long it takes them to prepare an order.... read more

Just tried for the first time and everything was delicious! I got the lemon pepper salmon, fried wings, Mac & cheese, greens & sweet potatoes. The greens were fresh and well seasoned... the Mac & cheese was really good, and these honestly may be the best sweet potatoes I've ever had. I can't wait to try some other menu items read more

Decided to try this place because I seen on IG that everyone said it was good. I got there and wanted to order the Sunday Special but they ran out of that. I ended up ordering Smothered Chicken Wings with Mac & Cheese and Yams. Presentation was great, but the food was not all that good and was SUPER salty. The cornbread was great though! Also ordered the Southwest Eggrolls and they were gross. Idk if I came on the wrong day, or needed to try something else.. but the food was not it. I also had their lemonade and it is too sweet/sugary. Couldn't even drink it. They have potential to be good, but they definitely need to tone it down with the seasonings. read more

This place is amazing..the food , the people and such a great atmosphere.. the really unique part is the back patio.. strongly recommend

Still have been ordering from here. The seafood lasagna, while appetizing from photos, was not impressive in person. I would skip this entree. Something in the veggie dudes is lacking. The greens and cabbage were not well seasoned, the corn before was water logged and simply had Cajun seasoning thrown on prior to being packed, and the potatoes aren't thoroughly cooked either. So I stick to the max and cheese (outstanding) and Turkey spaghetti, but please step up the side items. I tried the fried salmon, which is delicious, but on their page they feature healthy amounts of fish (usually 2) and for $30 they provided ONE small portion of salmon with my order, but my friend got fried fish with 2 large fillets for $20. Please don't start cutting corners now that you're established. I understand raising food prices, but the amount of food should not be compromised. Will I order again? Yes, but you all need to work on food continuity. Also, your bread option, our garlic bread portion was small, flavorless, and over cooked. Sometimes you add cornbread, sometimes you add nothing at all, be consistent. The food here is a premium price for the area, so provide your customers premium food and get it right. I don't think I should spend $60+ on 2 entrées and be disappointed at all. read more

The food was really good, just overpriced. The portions should definitely match the price. They were small.

It's what's inside that counts. The food was outstanding. The presentation was as good as the taste and is nicely seasoned with a good portion. The restaurant was clean and nicely decorated with photos of many Chicago natives. read more

This has been my 4th time coming here and each time there has been a different problem with my food. My food has been very distasteful and unseasoned. But to really to get to the point of my 4th and last visit, I had ordered two meals of the catfish dinner with the sides of lemon pepper broccoli and Mac and cheese. The catfish was very nasty, it tasted like hot water cornbread. The Mac and cheese was unseasoned, and the lemon pepper broccoli was just not good (weird mix). And the cheddar biscuit that comes with every meal was not done at all. It was doughy and the cheese wasn't even melted. Better description of that below.. read more
