I really really wanted this to be a good experience but I dont think I can make it to be. I ordered my food for pick up (a friend lives close enough to walk). I ordered the shrimp and grits. The total was around 13 dollars. This was my first time eating from this restaurant so I was unaware of how many shrimp would come with the meal, so I ordered extra shrimp. The total went from 13 to 22 dollars. The price jump made me believe I would most definitely get a surplus of shrimp for my meal. Upon picking my food up and arriving home, I found the original meal only came with FOUR small shrimp. And a huge bowl of grits. And to my surprise, the 9 dollar jump in price only secured THREE extra shrimp. JUST 3! for 22 dollars. Needless to say, that's disappointing as heck. Also, I expected a creole type of taste for the shrimp and the juices it floated in...wrong. It was just watered down brown water. I'm disappointed and plan to never order again. Period. read more

Everything was great-over stuffed my self sampling but I got a nice takeout container. Perfect brunch

I like Peaches, however the food is not consistent enough. I've been here at least twice. The first time was with my family, the food and service were really good. The next time I met a friend for breakfast and the service was slow & the food was sub par & lune warm by the time it made it to our table. It was fairly early & not very busy. I would have thought the service and quality would have been better. read more

Came here one Sunday morning with a small group. We beat the after church crowd and the place wasn't that crowded so we were surprised that the service, while super friendly, was pretty slow. We had a variety of food - from the catfish to the omelets. The food was hot and everyone got their food at the same time. We also liked that they have a variety of options (lamb, Gouda, feta) for the omelets vs. just ham and cheese. Everyone thought the food was good, not great. The grits were runny to the point of needing a spoon to eat them, the salmon croquettes were tiny and the seasoning was bland across the board. Peach flavored coffee was a unique twist. Overall, a comfortable, friendly place to eat if you happen to be in the area and aren't in a hurry. I would return if I were in the neighborhood but wouldn't make a special trip here. read more

I had a great experience with great food. We arrived at around 11:30am on a Saturday, the hostess couldn't give us an approximate wait time, but we were seated within about 20-25 mins. There was plenty waiting room area so it went by quickly. I was looking forward to ordering either the salmon croquettes or the biscuit which is served with a peach bourbon compote. Our server notified us after mentioning these items that they were out as it had been a busy morning. We were disappointed, and ended up ordering the shrimp and grits which were delicious. The grits were creamy and had the perfect amount of cheese, and the shrimp was seasoned well.. my only complaint is that I only had 3 shrimp. I substituted the regular bacon for duck bacon, great choice as it was unlike any thing else I've tasted, it had a nice texture and taste. They did forget to bring us the sides of house potatoes ordered but when they did come they were flavorful and cooked perfectly. The peach's Palmer was a great blend of lemonade, tea and the peach flavor. I do think they need more staff to work, as it was clear the servers were overwhelmed.. though they did the best they could. Thank you Peach's for such tasty food! read more

I was very excited that there was a new black own business in the community so I just had to give it try. I came here with my best friends was automatically greeted and seated the atmosphere was just amazing the customer service was five stars and the food was great this will be a go to a lease once a week thank God my job is right down the street. read more

Peach's Restaurant - Cinnamon French toast with crispy fried chicken Yum Yum Yum. Homemade honey butter and Peach coffee - American Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

It's a neighborhood favorite of mines. Several dishes I like here. Healthy portions and seasoned well. I often go alone and sit at the bar to get in and out quickly! read more

I come here when I'm in the mood for a Southern brunch around beautiful Black people. They have some unique menu items (like Peach coffee and duck bacon) & everything is fresh and/or homemade; which means it's slightly more expensive than the average breakfast spot, but still reasonable. It's usually super busy so service is not always prompt. But everyone is very friendly & welcoming so I let it slide. Can't wait to go back! read more

Peach's Restaurant - Egg white omelette with potatoes - American Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Really good down home soul food. I had the fried chicken wings and catfish and both were fried to perfection, Golden Brown with great flavor. Greens were excellent. The restaurant was nice and the staff seemed nice although my waitress was covering too many tables and desperately needed help. As a result it took way to long for me to get my food or extra items requested. This was lunch time so I would expect management to ensure that there is sufficient wait staff to cover so that the patrons don't have to wait as long as I did. Food great, service subpar but the waitress and cashier were nice just understaffed. read more

Came here one morning after a late night. Good food, slow service. I had the French toast with a side of bacon. It wasn't bad, but it's not something I will seek out on my next visit to Chicago. Although the service wasn't quick, the employees were extremely friendly. read more

Peach's is a go-to favorite. Attentive and friendly staff, and the food is always great. I love their menu- traditional breakfast items with a twist- there is something for everyone. They can get pretty busy but they're take out is always a fast option. Definitely recommend. read more

The food and environment is where I want to be. I love that I can be in my neighborhood and enjoy this wonderful restaurant.

I've been here a few times no. But today wasn't good at all. The customer service wasn't good at all. The waiter never brought napkins at all. Nor did she bring us anything to drink. Peaches is an amazing place but the hiring process should be more strict. read more

Very Spike Lee movie-ish ... Very diverse mixture of brown people in a very laxed atmosphere. The wait staff was friendly but did not hover (). The food was delish....We had the lamb omelette with grits and pancakes and the lemon cheese cake French toast with duck bacon. I tip my hat to you Peaches, good job! read more

Couldn't love Peaches more. Had a lovely breakfast of salmon croquettes and eggs with duck bacon. Coffee was terrific. Waitstaff were so polite and nice. What a great meal! read more

Peach's Restaurant - American Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

No stars if I could. Waited 2 hours like dummies. Told us multiple times your food is coming but it never did. People sat next to us after an hour given same food orders that we ordered. You would think they would expedite us but I don't think they understand how to do that when your customer has been waiting. This is the terrible experience that unfortunately mars our community's reputation. How can one support such poor service and inability to adapt to the situation? Given this experience we will never be back. Also told they will open a third location, hmmph, please get service at the first one right. So so disappointing. read more

Had the catfish, grits and greens. The fish was fried to perfection and the grits were on point, but the collards were mushy and inedible. I informed my server and she offered to sub my greens for potatoes, but I declined. Enjoyed my food with the exception of the surprisingly terrible greens. Will be back to sample more. read more

Peach's Restaurant - American Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

1st time here once seated we were bought menu's & water but the wait for our server was at least 10 min. Server was pleasant and knowledgable about menu. Nice soft jazz played through the speakers - provides a nice background sound track. Once we ordered chicken gumbo, salmon croquettes, veggie omelet. Wifee went with fried cat fish greens, and grits. In a word the food was great. The gem in the heart of Bronzeville is a must visit spot for good eats. They just need to tighten up the service. That's why the get a 4 & not a 5 rating. Food & atmosphere are excellent ! read more

Peach's Restaurant - Nice lunch counter - American Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Went to Peach's yesterday for the first time and had the cheddar grits and croquettes. While the aroma of the food didn't mesh as well as I would like, the food definitely tasted well together. I will definitely go back to Peach's for breakfast sometime. Next time I plan to try the French Toast and the Duck Bacon! Follow me and my adventures : @pattydrive read more

A Bronzeville treasure. One of the best places for brunch period! Latoya is a dream; warm, inviting and always ready to serve. The food is always on point. The ambiance is always pleasant - great music in the background, festive vibe. I eat here at least once a week and I highly recommend it. read more

Small hiccup with reservations but, Amir was amazing! The food was great. It's not a huge place but also not a tiny diner. We had a group of 9 and were quite comfortable. They only split the tab once but will except multiple payments just FYI. The duck bacon is great and the peach cobbler French toast is great as long as it's hot. The shrimp and Grits went over well as did the Catfish. Personally I though the fried wings could have had a tad bit more seasoning. read more

Food is good and you have to try the duck fat bacon and peach French toast. Nice looking inside and comfortable. Prices are good.

Good place for good breakfast food...the duck bacon is outstanding if you get a chance to try it....

The two stars are for our server Eric. He was positive, friendly and thoughtful. I had SUPER high hopes. So high, that I brought my mother in law here for her birthday brunch today. It was ALL of our first (me, my husband, and my mother in law). We only had to wait for about 10 minutes before we were seated. Another 10 before our sever came to tell us that he's going to get the orders from the 3 tables. Front of us and come back. He did just that. Took our drink order and then our food order. Then the marathon wait began. We waited and I kid you not, a little over an hour for our food. When my husband inquired what the wait was (after 45 minutes) out server kindly explained that the tickets ahead of our order were taking a long time. While we didn't quiiiite understand what that meant, around the full hour mark was when our food came. They got my order wrong. I got turkey sausage instead of turkey bacon. He brought be turkey bacon anyway. They put the cheese on my eggs instead of my grits. Sausage was cold. Eggs were warm, grits were hot. French toast came without the peach compote but he brought that too upon request. We weren't rude and didn't get upset but I honestly wish this was not the experience I offered my mother in law for her birthday. Peach's please hire more cooks. You're restaurant has such great potential to be a neighborhood jewel if your kitchen ran faster. I say this out of love and respect because the food industry is tough but this has the moxie to make it. So I will offer a few recommendations to help a brotha out: 1.) Hire 4 I cooks responsible for specific parts of your menu. The menu isn't complex so 4 should be the minimum cooks you need. Play it safe and get 5. 2.)Line worker. Who is in charge of inspecting the plates food before it goes out? You need that line worker. 3.) If food tickets are backed up, have something to give your paying customers. I'd recommend coming up with some kind of peach bread/biscuit to serve while they wait. Hopefully these three things can help your establishment improve. Sadly I won't be back to see these improvements because of the suggested air of complacency in this place. Good Luck. read more

Ok well went for breakfast arrived at 1020 am left at 1140 am no food yet we were tired of waiting. Restaurant was pretty slow many empty tables still took OVER an hour and no food. Won't be rushing back. Ordered a salmon croquet and a waffle. What's so hard about that. Lady behind me ordered cheesy grits and salmon croquet got hers ate and left. We were never served. read more

My cousin and I got to try the 7up pancakes and I gotta say that although I couldn' taste the 7up as much as I hoped...the cream cheese glaze that they gave on the side really sealed the deal. The food was on par with what you would expect of a good diner. And everyone gave service with a warm smile...who woulda thought Chicago would be so cozy in the winter time? :) read more

Brunch after church I took my family to Peach's after church. It was my wife and two sons (3 and 1). So, it started that there were no booster seats for the chairs - not a good start, but that is the ONLY bad thing I can say about the experience. Let's start with our server Jerome. He was professional, nice, accommodating, made relevant and GOOD recommendations and moreover was attentive - ask for him when you go. We started off with Jerome's recommended Peach's coffee. My wife got the Gouda and spinach omelette which I would like to say was delicious but she inhaled it without even offering up a bite! I got the shrimp and grits, cheese grits that is. At first I was disappointed because even though the shrimp were big there was only three, but as I dug in there were two more large ones under the blanket of grits. Everything was in perfect balance, the cheesey grits, the large shrimps, the chunks of bacon. Three words: de lish ous!!! This is a great brunch spot, with great service and great food. I highly recommend you try it out and then, try it out again. See you there, Sunday, after church! read more

My Daughter and I stopped in on a Sunday afternoon for breakfast. I must say we were pleasantly surprised. We hadn't heard any of the reviews or wasn't recommended. We were just feeling hungry and decided to give Peaches a try. Our meal came out in a reasonable amount of time, all cooked to perfection. The only real knock was on the side of pancakes that weren't sweet and quite frankly had no taste or flavor at all. Other than that everything else was incredible. Our server was a little busy initially but one of the other servers stepped in and took our order to ensure there wasn't a long wait, which we really appreciated. The food was absolutely delicious with the exception of the pancakes. I had the shrimp and grits while my daughter had the breakfast bowl. The only thing is at the price point which isn't cheap for breakfast but I had no problem with paying. I want to drink out of actual glasses. Try jars if the glasses are a problem. I also don't expect to be tearing open condiments. Invest in some serviceable salt and pepper shakers, and perhaps some warmed syrup bottles will send this place over the top. I hope it doesn't sound like I wasn't impressed, because I most definitely was!! Will be returning and bringing friends and family hopefully to find some of these suggestions reached the rightful ears. If not the food is good anyway so I'll most definitely be back!! read more

Great food but awful customer service. No one told us how long the wait would be, and no one talk to us either. When I asked about the wait after 30 minutes of already waiting with 4 kids, we were told it doesn't work like that and we'd need another 30 minutes to get seated. No apologies, just a blank stare followed by an eye roll! Horrible horrible customer service! I was hoping to enjoy brunch at peaches but that's never gonna happen again! If you want to save time and not wait forever for food and also have a great meal, go somewhere else and spend your $$ where it's valued! read more

I had high hopes for peaches, dissapointed by the service for sure. We went a little over an hour before close, but it felt like they were closing in 5 mins. The service was inconsistent to say the least. It was so bad to another table, they left before eating. I dont know if they'd get a second chance from me, maybe to get something peach flavored? read more

Good food. Friendly service -- but very slow service. Expect to spend some time here.

The food was good but not Reccomend for a group of more than 4 people , they didn't have steak at 9am for steak and eggs . There were several orders wrong and we were charged for an item we didn't receive. read more

My first visit but not my last. We went following church service so Sunday around 11am. First impression the restaurant is larger than expected. There was a wait but it was correctly estimated at twenty minutes. Our server however was quick and efficient. Secondly, the food was very good. They even offered alternative meats including duck bacon which I didn't try. The waffle was nice and fluffy, the grits looked cooked to perfection and my companion's chicken and french toast was excellent. He cleaned his plate. ..we both did! Try it! read more

came here with a friend and there was a wait but it was worth it. i tried the duck bacon and it was very tasty i like the area and it wasnt hard to get to since its right near the train. only got an entree and it was very filling but next time i'll save room for dessert read more

Visited Peach's for breakfast today (9-14) with a friend. She ordered a cheese omelete and I ordered eggs with, chicken sausage and pancakes. Our waitress said the meal would be right out. After waiting approximately 20-30 for our meal, I called our waitress over to the table and inquired about our meal. (the restaurant was not crowded) She then told us that the omelete was the delay - but that she will check on it. We did not understand why preparing a cheese omelet would create a lengthy delay. After we voiced our complaint to the waitress, the manager then came to the table being very polite, but offering no reason as to the lack of service. I asked her would she comp any of the meal because of the long delay and she said her job was to come over and be understanding and polite, but that she could not comp anything. When the food finally arrived it was not warm and average at best. We had visited Peach's in the past and never had a problem with the service or the food. We was surprised by the lack of service and the mediocrity of the food. read more

Incredible restaurant with A+ service. The Greek Omelet is my favorite. It's incredibly tasty and the tzatki sauce is better than most Greek restaurants I've been to in Chicago. We usually have Jerome as our waiter and he is one of the friendliest, professional waiters I've had. The good news is that even when we've had other servers, they've been wonderful too. read more

The food was good. It was my first time trying duck bacon. I think more options on the menu would be good. The service was good as well. The prices are reasonable. All together, I spent under 20 bucks. Con: Their signature drink (peach tea) is served in a small cup and you have to pay full price for a refill. read more

SLOW SLOW SLOW! The staff is very nice but they are SLOW SLOW SLOW. I waited over 35 minutes for a to go order of bacon and eggs with toast and it was a pretty measly serving. It wasn't crowded and they seemed to be well staffed so I'm not sure where the hiccup was. I understand things happen but a little communication goes a long way! Just let your patrons know what's going on before they have to ask read more

Peach's Restaurant - Not so great to go meal :/ - American Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I visited Peach's with my family, a large party of nine. We received a friendly greeting and we were seated quickly. Our server was attentive and proactive. We received a complimentary order of beignets and fresh fruit before receiving our meals- a delicious surprise! We received generous portions of food. I ordered the peach bourbon French toast and a salmon croquette on the side. The bourbon sauce was warm and sweet, but not too sweet. The salmon croquette was thick and well seasoned with a soft texture. Everyone in my party agreed that they had an amazing meal and would definitely return on our next trip to Chicago! read more

I absolutely LOVE the food here! Peach's is a must do breakfast restaurant. My family from New York came in and they left seeking another Peach's in the big Apple lol. Family friends from Alabama said the biscuits taste just like HOME! Peach's is a family feel and family style southern cooking at its best in Chicago. You gotta try it!!! read more
