I don't consider this good or bad - just not memorable. I ordered the turkey wings + dressing meal…read morewith macaroni and cheese and greens as a side. Nothing was bad! The gravy on the dressing + meat was abundant (I now understand why they post near the menu that if you want the gravy off your dish, let them know), the turkey was a tad tough, and the dressing was homemade and good, but drowned out by the gravy. The baked macaroni was pretty good, and the greens were a tad salty. All meals come with cornbread - that could have been omitted, because it didn't taste fresh. The $20 price point sounded outrageous to me until I got the meal, which was genuinely heavy and the food was packed to the brim. Also, there is no place to sit down, so prepare for takeout. I visited midday on a weekday, and my meal was delivered to me within 5 minutes of ordering.

A friend recently sent a post to me from Instagram of a man who came to King's Soul Food Gallery…read moreand got hooked on the pancakes. That post piqued my interest and my appetite. That, of course, meant I had to see if the hype was real. THE HYPE IS REAL. I went early for breakfast. I ordered biscuits with sausage gravy, eggs scrambled with cheddar, and potatoes. On the side, I ordered two pancakes. Everything is cooked to order, which is always plus because you aren't getting something reheated or microwaved. The quality of the food is also an indicator because you can tell by texture and temperature throughout what is on the plate. The cook came to the table to get confirmation of how I wanted my food plated. I gathered that some people are picky about their food touching, so he wanted to know if I was okay that the gravy may touch my eggs and potatoes. Servers, cooks, and chefs usually never confer with diners to inquire about peeves like food touching, so it was a bonus as service goes. On to the pancakes, you really don't need syrup. The pancakes are butter and lightly sweetened. For anyone who has had Johnny cakes, the pancakes are reminiscent of those but without cornmeal. The other thing about the pancakes was that they held heat instead of getting cold immediately. Some people may rattle off how some other place or how their own pancakes are the best in the world. Be that as it may, the pancakes that I had at King's Soul Food Gallery were the best that "I" have had. I will have to make my way back to sample their lunch. There is some fried catfish, collard greens, and sweet potatoes that I want to try. THE HYPE IS REAL.

The food is phenomenal, especially the Cornish hens, and Kings had the BEST MAC and Cheese on all of Chicago! This place takes care of people; from large portions, to feeding the needy, you must visit this spot. Great dessert section as well, especially the Carmel cake. Lastly, this may not be for you, but if you need prayer, a word of encouragement, ask for Pastor Driver or any of his children-you will not only get "food for your stomach, but most importantly, Food for YOUR SOUL!" I highly recommend Kings!

When they first opened they were good but for thae last year absolutely horrible. I try to support black owned but this is ridiculous. I ordered a catfish dinner and instead of 2 fillets they sent 1 fillet and 3 feathered wings. I ordered turkey wings and it was paralyzed . I tried eating the turkey wing but you couldn't. When you break into it the two bones were broken and pieces of the bone were in-between meat so if you try to chew small remnants of the bones get stuck in your teeth. The Macaroni lacked cheese. I cant tell you what the muffin tasted like cause i didnt eat it. Not sure if i was supposed to get a muffin with both meals but as you can see i only got a muffin with one of them. The sweet potatoes were decent. Last time I visited the first sunday of September 2025 i paid a total of $12 extra for 2 orders of greens and I received a hunk of meat and a few stems. Then $6 for their dressing i they only serve on Sundays and I received half frozen dressing in a container. Yep I said it right a container of half frozen dressing like with ice in it. I called the owner let him know my experience and told him im just providing feedback as I had ate there before and maybe it was staff that just needed to be retrained along with the fact they they are a business I dont want them to lose out money. Ohhhhhhh but This is it. I should've have read the recent reviews. I dont mind paying the price for good food but come on dont serve people anything. I didnt want to bring it here but no maybe this will serve as a lesson because the last time when I received the frozen dressing and greens with a piece of meat and a few stems it should have been taken seriously. I knew I should have stuck with Pearls place I just wanted to switch it up this week. Pearls place food is excellent only thing that made me upset once was because they were sold out of them good biscuits. Lol. But all jokes aside Pearls place is more expensive than bronzeville soul but they get it right the food is great and I have NEVER been sold anything especially dilapidated food.

The rib bones had an after taste, not a pork favor, something disappointing. My advice to potential customers is order in the evening, most restaurants sell leftover food upon opening until those leftovers are sold out. WE want fresh off the grill food!!! I support black owned businesses but I don't support food that doesn't taste good , and those ribs I was served weren't worthy of any customer.

I ordered a platter of barbecue fried chicken with mustard potato salad, pinto beans, and a cornbread muffin. The chicken was no joke. It wasn't undercooked and it wasn't dry. I have had smothered fried chicken, but barbecue fried chicken was new to me and I liked it. They get high marks for good mustard potato salad. They didn't have baked beans, but cooked the pinto beans such that it had a nice gravy. No sugar was added to emulate baked beans, just good flavor without the fuss. Second platter that I ordered was spicy barbecue fried chicken, spaghetti, greens, and another cornbread muffin. Loved the kick to the spicy barbecue chicken. I appreciate the spaghetti not being sweet. There was enough bitter to the greens that I wonder if they were picked fresh. You can tell when someone does too much to canned greens to mask the fact that they're canned. I didn't get that impression with these greens. As to the cornbread muffin, it is more dessert than savory. Beware if you are a cornbread snob. Kimmy's is not a sit-down type of restaurant. You order for takeaway. What I ordered had sit-down flavor, for sure. I don't live too far away that I can't pull up. I can't say that I will chance placing an order for delivery. It takes time for orders to be completed because everything is cooked to order. Either way, they will get my dollars.
