Service was very slow, but the place was busy so we understood. Kitchen was extremely slow. Again we understood. Our food was very good. After watching desserts pass by our table all night we flagged down our waiter to order. We were told that we'd have to leave without dessert or coffee because our 90 minutes was almost up. We told him that most of that 90 minutes was spent waiting to order and waiting for our food. He spoke to his manager who confirmed that we'd have to leave. Terrible business model. With so many restaurant choices in Chicago, we won't be returning.

THE HYPE IS REAL YALL!! The food was genuinely one of the best southern food I've ever had (coming…read morefrom someone from the literal south). I had a 8:30pm reservation but they keep seating up until 9 when they closed; with a 15 min buffer. Everything had to be order all at once, including drinks and food. The dark interior is honestly very aesthetic and adds a moody vibe. I had the fish and grits, which was a HUGE portion, and the cornbread was insanely good as well. I was between that and the biscuits. I recommend the uncle honey as a drink because the flavors mix together so well! Also get the Millie's pudding (banana pudding) for dessert! Prices are also so reasonable for the portion size as well. Highly recommend going if you can get a reservation; which are sometimes hard to do. Will be back!

The staff always reminds me to scan my app before checking out so I can collect points and ask how I would like my order packaged (to go box only or accompanied by a paper bag).

The bowl included shredded romaine lettuce, corn, rice, great spices, pico de Mayo, which added freshness to your palette, also it had melted mozzarella on top. The salmon was a tad bit overcooked but still had a great taste to it and the mango vinaigrette dressing added a delightful touch to the bowl itself, but overall I would recommend. I ordered Uber Eats

Everyone's bowl came with all the extra bells and whistles that we all asked for. My one qualm about this place is that all the bowls taste pretty similar and what's keeping them different is the sauces they add and the meat. However that's basically what all the fast casual slop bowl restaurants do so I'm not mad. Will continue to come support this Black owned business!

The burger is sooo juicy and everything is full of spice and flavor. My girl had the vegan option for the burger which is made from a mushroom. THAT was great too!!! I can't wait to come back to try the many other dishes. The prices are very fair compared to what you get. There are NO "surprise" hidden fees or service charges on your check. Sammy at the counter was most helpful. She also told me to my surprise that the current location has been there for 17 years!. I've told 3 of my friends last week and they all have since been there and are now big fans. ENJOY!!!!

This place has a lot of personality: old wood finishes, "graffiti" on every reachable wall and sill. I wanted to follow the other reviews and get the calamari and the chili. The calamari was very good, but has a short shelf life. The chili was nice, but a little toothless. Also had the cubano which was rich in pickles which is always a plus. I guess, since it's claiming a deli in-residence, I'd try the deli sandwich specialities. I don't know when I can get out here next, but it looks like the pizza is supposed to be the next thing we try.

Dinner was wonderful - a deliciousl crab pasta dish in a light lemon sauce, along with a very tasty dessert. Service from Simone was very good. Since we had such a good experience at dinner, we stopped by in the morning and got a yogurt parfait with granola and fruit - also quite tasty. The server that morning was (I believe) Andrea, who had an amazing energy and a wonderful attitude. She was quite confident in running the whole restaurant front of the house.

When I walked in, there were a total of 6 customers including myself in the restaurant; a couple together in line and 3 already sitting. The cashier had a chill vibe overall. I ordered Biscuits & Gravy w/soft scrambled eggs and drip black coffee. Total with tip; $28.44. I sat myself and waited probably no longer than ten minutes and a gentlemen brought my food out. Presentation was decent, but... The food wasn't hot whatsoever. For them to only have 6 guests and during what would be deemed breakfast time, it indicates they weren't busy. So I didn't understand the cold food. The gravy was lukewarm at best, the biscuits definitely tasted like day old and were so salty in certain bites. They were flaky and really good in other bites. The eggs were the same; lukewarm. It was as if the food was made and sat on the counter the ten minutes I waited. In terms of flavor, it was decent, but the inconsistencies and temperature leaves room for improvement. Not sure I'll be returning unfortunately.
