I had the fried chicken with cornbread, Mac and cheese, and coleslaw. The Mac and cheese and the chicken were extremely dry. The coleslaw was sub par to the kind you can get at a jewel osco store. The worker had extremely long painted nails, in which she did not wear gloves when handling food. (Sanitary hazard) It may have been one of those off days for this restaurant but I don't think I'll be coming back again. read more

This place is over rated they say the fried chicken is the best. But all I saw was dried chicken that looked like it was cooked from lunch and sat there all the way to dinner under a heat lamp. I asked the cashier what was the best there and all she did was read the menu to me . If I wanted the menu read to me I could read it myself I just wanted to know but she recommended and all she gave me was a blank stare so I ended up ordering the last thing she said which was jerk chicken with mashed potatoes and mac and cheese. The mashed potatoes were good can't screw that up. The mac and cheese was really hard on the top and that part was uneatable. I ended up eating just the bottom half and throwing away the top. What a waste of money. The Jerk Chicken was not jerked but chicken with jerk sauce on the side. The chicken was moist and delicious and was the only redeeming quality of this visit. The jerk sauce was way too peppery and hot it was mostly peppers and just a little bit of the other stuff to make it jerk sauce and I ended up not eating the jerk sauce and having the grilled chicken alone and if I order the grilled chicken alone it would have saved me a dollar what a waste that's two dollars now I wasted. Overall this place is overrated then I will not be going back again because there are better places right next to it. read more

Different specials depending on the day of the week. Amazing Fried Chicken... it does not compare to KFC, Popeyes, etc.. It is homemade goodness. Plenty of seating inside. I wish the sauces were lableled so I knew which one was ketchup, bbq sauce, hot sauce etc. Mac and Cheese was delicious and is a MUST SIDE. Cheesy crust on top. My 2nd side was the candied yams. They were good, but I was not a fan. There was a weird spice in there that I did not care for. I would guess nutmeg, but I still ate it. Corn Bread was okkkkay. A tad bit cold. If it was hot, it would have be real good. Overall, very very good. i wish the food was a bit hotter (tempature wise) I was there toward closing, so maybe the heating lamps weren't enough at that point. Can't wait to go back!!! read more

We went mid-week. Everyone loves something that they had, most people loved everything they had. Unusual menu items classically Southern classically soul food. They seem to have a booming carryout business. We dined in. It was fine, clean.. I will definitely return and have told many people about it so far. A gem in this neck of the woods. read more

Priscillas Ultimate Express - Soul Food Near Me - Hanover Park, Illinois

See all

Very tasty food, good portions. The fried chicken was moist and flavorful, not the best I've had (I like a crisper skin and batter)but that's just my preference. The only thing I did not like is that their daily menu is not accurate, so after deciding what we wanted from online menu we had to order online thru a different menu that did not have 3 of the items on it. I then found out after ordering and at pick up that ordering menu was also incorrect and the smothered chops were actually available. They really need to be more accurate with both menus,better yet only show one menu for website and ordering menu.BTW they do not take more than 2 orders over the phone.We will be back and hopefully everything on menu will be correct so no one is disappointed again. read more

This place is incredible!!!!!! Food is always hot fresh, and never greasy!!! Reminds me of home!!!!! The ladies are sweet and friendly!!!!! I will never stop coming to priscillas or priscillas ultimate!!!!! I only wish they were open on Mondays and Tuesdays too but I won't complain ;-) read more

Priscillas Ultimate Express - To-go menu! - Soul Food Near Me - Hanover Park, Illinois

Fried fish with mash potatoes and green beans was excellent. Red velvet cake is also delicious.

I appreciate Priscilla's for being able to satisfy by soul food needs. I have been pleased each time that I have visited the location. For the most part, I've never had to wait in a long line. The hardest part of the visit is figuring out what I want to eat from their daily selection. I would highly recommend this location for your soul food fix. read more

I have had a lot of people told me they liked this place. So i was looking for soul food so I decided to go here. The spaghetti was sweet I didn't like it. Wasnt expecting that. The fish was good. But I started to get a sweet tooth due to the sweet pototes and sweet cornbread and the spaghetti..I wanted mac n Cheese but it wasn't ready I'm guessing because I didn't see any. But while I wassitting eating two ladies came in and they had mac n cheese. Won't be running to eat at this place. read more

Hit or miss! if Priscilla is there, the food may be fresh, that's WHEN she's there. The food quality has really gone down ALoT. The MAC and cheese taste like frozen stouffers and the food is very bland, flavorless and warm. The chicks up front are very ghetto and unprofessional. There's kids running all around the restaurant (employees kids) read more

They make the best chicken in HanovrPark and Carol Stream!!! They really the best in the Western suburbs.

Food was great but disappointed in the friendliness of the cashier Olga who was rude and never cracked a smile during our whole transaction!

Very good. Priscilla owns more than one and she knows what she's doing. You won't leave hungry.

This place is addictive! Love, love, love the fried chicken and fried catfish! The seasoning on the breading is perfection! Also recently tried the smothered chicken with dressing and cabbage, and I was speechless. Good is not the word, phenomenal! If you are in the burns and craving soul food, this is the spot! read more

Went for the first time today with my dad and sister. Ordered the short ribs, fried chicken, and jerk chicken. Sides were mac n cheese, greens, red beans & rice, candied yams. First greeted by a friendly beautiful woman at the register. Very patient and kind ! My dad is 82 and sometimes not patient or thinks before he opens his mouth and I talk too much. Love my dad !! Food was delicious and you can taste homemade. Gave dad a senior discount ! Place was very clean and everybody was very courteous. Will definitely go again to try something new. Catfish looked yummy. Next visit will for sure include a piece of red velvet cake. read more

So gosh-darned delicious! So many choices! The employees are are very friendly & helpful if you have trouble deciding what to get. We tried the baked chicken meal which comes with 2 sides and a cornbread muffin. The chicken was perfect and the sides were actually bigger than what I expected. I chose the black eye peas (perfect!) and green beans (yum!) - both were cooked with a ham bone, based on the wonderful flavor. Since two of us were sharing the meal for lunch (didn't want to stuff ourselves) we got an additional side of coleslaw (the BEST coleslaw I've had anywhere...perfectly crunchy but covered in creamy & tangy goodness) and an extra muffin. The muffins were a bit on the small side (which is fine by me) but they were the only item I didn't think was as delicious as they could have been - seemed a bit on dry side. I can't wait to go back and try some of their other offerings & next time I'll try one of those amazing looking desserts, too. Oh, and you can pick 2 meats to try different things for your meal, unless you get the 1/2 Baked Chicken of the Cornish Hens, of course. They also have plenty of tables for dining in - based on their name I thought maybe it was just a take-out place. read more

Just moved to the area months ago from my home town in the south this place has good chicken and specials my only problem is the hours of operations when I walk in the staff is so welcoming and nice which is why I always return read more

I grew up in the south on the foods offered here. I was so excited to finally find a place to get real food, that we drove all the way from Naperville to get it. It was the worst food I have had maybe ever. Cold catfish that tasted like it was fried the week before, there were two slivers of peaches in the peach cobbler and the saddest of all - they ruined banana pudding which is my absolute favorite and the deciding factor in driving all that way. They charged as much as a nice sit down restaurant to to stand and order and eat of paper plates with plastic utensils. read more

When I used to work in Charlotte, I got spoiled by the plethora of Southern food. In Chicago, it's hard to find good places. There are some gems, but few and far between. So imagine my surprise and happiness when Priscilla's Ultimate Express opened right across the street. Not right across the street for you stalkers, but close enough. It's kinda set up like Boston Market, where a lot of the food is already prepared and you choose what you want. 3 of us went, one had the fried chicken, one had the half broasted chicken and I had the beef short ribs. The short ribs were doused in some sauce. Pretty yummy but a tad salty. The chicken dishes were both good. The sides. I think the sides are excellent. The mac and cheese is delicious. The candied yams have some nutmeg I think in them. It gives it a little kick. But those are saccharinely sweet... The collard greens are yummy and you can get it with either turkey or pork. I got the turkey and it had a nice smoky flavor to it. I'll be back. The only thing that keeps me from going is the fact I'm trying to cut a few pounds. But it's definitely worth the treat! read more

I have nothing against the food, i really enjoy their food, however... We stopped on a Wednesday evening around 6:30pm (during their hours of operation), only to find them closed with their business hours posted clearly on the door which was 11-8pm on Wednesdays. We were very disappointed and it turns out we were not the only ones. A truck pulled up next to us and the guys said they had drove three hours to get to Priscilla's and they were never coming back after that. I think that is totally unprofessional and unacceptable. Disappointing. read more

It should be called Priscilla's soul side's restaurant . The food is good but the amount of meat you get for the money is pathetic. Somebody call the cops cause when I get my cafeteria plate I feel like I've been robbed ! I've Been here several times because the food is delicious. I've had just about everything on the menu , and it's fabulous! A main course , two sides and a drink -almost 20$ . Short ribs are fabulous, I want the main dish to be the star of the show and the sides to compliment it . I had the smothered chicken ,,, Delicious,, but the baby wing and the miniature thigh wasn't enough for a man , women or child . I want to give her more stars because it's so good , but when l leave the restaurant, I want to be full . Oh yea ,,I really like Priscilla , she's sweet and cooks great food . Show me the BEEF !!!!! read more

I was very impressed with this place! Read the positive reviews and decided to give it a try and I was not let down! Short ribs were delicious and the smothered chicken was amazing! I truly felt welcome and the food was hearty and not overpriced for the portion size. Highly recommend trying out Priscillas! read more

I had the fried chicken dinner with mashed potatoes and collard greens. The food tasted very good but the service was poor. I ordered and paid for 2 extra pieces of chicken but the server did not put them in the bag. I didn't notice till I got home and was too tired to drive all the way back. Let the buyer beware. read more

There are two locations. The other one is in Hillside. This location feels like it is newer because both times I have been here it is spotless. Both locations employees are super friendly!!! Hillside location ambiance wise has more character, but this location I think the food is actuallly better. I wish they would adverstise more because this place should have more business. My mother is from the south she can throw down some amazing southern meals. Thank you Priscilla's for your collard grens with pork, chicken wings and breasts, macaroni and cheese, candied yams, and most certainly can not forget the beef short ribs , and corn bread. Authenic southern cuisine at its best. Hands down best place for southern food in Illinois! read more

While visiting in Illinois, I always check out Priscilla's. I love the catfish and all the sides that she serves. Ok, here goes. First of all the fish was extremely salty I mean too salty, the green beans were mushy, the mac and cheese was good and the corn muffins were delish. On my next visit back home I am going to give Priscilla's another try. read more

Walked in the the place smelling amazing. People were nice friendly and all the food looked fresh. Would have given it 5 stars but when we placed our to go order they messed up my order and by the time we got home it would be too late to go back because 1- they would be closed and 2- even if I got it and came home the food would have been cold. Only placed 2 adult meals and 2 children's to go not a huge order. Otherwise I loved the food. Just double check your order before leaving read more

We have been here numerous times - the place is clean and there is always plenty of seating. The people taking the orders need to be more friendly and helpful- but the food is good - love the Mac n cheese and the smothered pork chops but they only have the chops on Friday- it would be better if they offered that option more than just once a week where as the chicken is available almost every day! The deserts are average - I wouldn't spend my money on those- it would be great if they had peach Cobler more often tho- read more

My fried chicken was great and my husbands smothered pork chops were the best pork chops I've ever tasted. We had a bit of a wait while they were making more chicken. I appreciated that it was approaching closing time and I had deliciously fresh chicken at a buffet. The service was great and much appreciated! read more

I've been to this place 3 times. Every time i ordered the fried chicken. It's ok. I dont like any of the sides. the people that work there are nice though. The chicken is cooked right, but i think the batter is kind of bland. read more

Can a person walk in to just buy some food without getting dirty glares ?. Also I would like if your employee's were a bit more friendly to the customers instead of talking to one another and yelling " What !? " when someone tries to get their attention to get serviced. The decor in your establishment seriously needs to be updated very soon. read more

The fried chicken is excellent! It was crispy and so tasty. The navy beans were good but the mac and cheese is THE best I've ever had. The candied yams were really good too. read more

Have tried several different Soul Food places through the years and unfortunately, I can not say this place is the best specifically because the flavors continue to be inconsistent......at both locations. It's typically hit or miss on any given day & I keeping returning to see if I can catch then on a good day.....which have been very few & far between. Additionally, the prices have gone up considerably across the board, which you normally wouldn't mind if the quality & flavor were consistently outstanding but currently that is not the case. Regretfully, both locations have been lack luster & would fair much better with improvements in cleanliness, customer service with a smile & consistently great flavors of the food. Praying for them to be on the upswing & still rooting for improvement at both locations. read more

Great food and friendly employees. Priscilla is also there at times. I could eat here 7 nights a week if I could.

Catfish was awesome, but a little pricey when you add desert. Fried chicken was equally as good. I'd say the food is a good as the original Priscilla's in Hillside. I like that this ones open more days of the week and closer to my house. read more

Went in here today with my lady, and we both got the catfish with 2 sides. My lady got macaroni and cheese for both sides, and I got turkey greens/ macaroni for my 2 sides. The food was out of this world delicious. Exactly how I expected it to taste, being Priscilla's. The food is a bit pricey, but then again they use quality ingredients to create a quality product. For my lady and my meal plus a drink it was 30$. This is home made food in a convenient setting, not fast food. Do not be surprised to pay a bit for the quality, but you will thank the cook on the way out. Real soul food. Keep it up Priscilla's! Glad yall finally got an express spot open. read more

The food is great and the Mac & Cheese is fire. My hubby drives her at least twice a month. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu.

Yuck! The food is so greasy! I never see this place busy, makes me wonder how they stay in business!

I remember a long time ago when this structure was a Boston Market. Man am I glad Boston moved out and the Soul Food moved in. You can really tell the staff enjoy everything food and they know their patrons by name. This place puts the soul back in food for those that forgot what soul food truly taste like! read more

The food was delicious. The staff was friendly, cordial and polite. The restaurant was clean. Plenty of parking and good location. Price is reasonable. read more

I was super exited about trying the fried chicken based on all the positive reviews. Went in to pickup carry out around dinner twice. The fried chicken was pretty disappointing. The Chicken was super oily and the batter was very bland.......hate to say this but popeye's flavor blew them away. I did order some fried Catfish and that was excellent. I'll prob try them again since I live up the street. read more
