    I come here every time I come to Chicago! Everything is always fresh. There's always a good movie and game on the televisions. The front of house staff is always on point. I try to order something different for takeout (I'm usually about to get on the highway to head back to Indy), but I have to dine in for their fish. The dining area is appropriately sized because the bulk of their orders are take out so it's nice and quiet. Love the juices as well.

    Passed by a few weeks ago and didn't realize I had one in my back yard. I was happy to see growth! The place was similar to the Orland location and the food was good enough to go back so why not stop here. Well the atmosphere is a little different. By that I mean the people behind the counter. Another customer and I were looking at each other as we thought there was a fight in the kitchen. As she was an older woman I was concerned for her and would've assisted her out if I needed to. Cursing and raised voices. It was an argument over he said she said and not even about the people in the workplace! I shouldn't have that much detail right?! I did not notice who walked in but they got back to business quick so it must've been a manager type. On to the food.... Unless eating in, I suggest you order online or call ahead. It's too long of a wait for to go. Eating in it would be fine. Unless another argument breaks out. I ordered the loaded baked potato. Not sure where the broccoli came from as that wasn't even an option. Maybe they got my order mixed up? It was baked well and the broccoli right, just not what I wanted or asked for. The pizza was surprisingly good! I don't have high hopes for Chicago pizza being an east coast girl but the sauce and cheese was better than most. The crust was thicker than I like but that's a personal thing. I had green peppers and onions on it which were concentrated in the middle but they were there. I would get that again.

    Oh My Freaking GOSH... this restaurant is the absolute BEST!!! I saw the pics of the food when I was looking up somewhere to eat, and I decided to try it out. When the delivery driver handed me the food, I smelled it before I reached for it. The food came hot and I took a few nibbles before I took the pic And before my man got home. Outstanding flavors! Cooked to perfection! So many different choices of food, I honestly didn't know what to get. No complaints about ANYTHING! I have to try some other dishes before I leave the Chi.

    I'm here on lunch and it's taking longer than I'd like... I get I want my food to be fresh there's nothing wrong with that... but how long does it take to make an Italian beef, fries and a pizza puff???? They emphasize they make everything fresh. There's nothing express about this place. They go at the same rate as a dine In restaurant. Food is great, but they're in no rush to get people moving. I'll def come back, when I have time to stand around and wait for my order. And they still put Mayo on it after burying it under the lettuce... .

    Grilled Salmon Dinner

    When I say I have never been this disappointed in a soul food meal. I went here and spent $86 on a jerked grilled salmon dinner with dirty rice and a loaded mash, the salmon was not seasoned and had jerk sauce slapped across the top the mash was dried out not creamy and the dirty rice looked like Spanish rice. I also ordered a beef short rib dinner with baked macaroni and I loaded mash, the ribs were very tender but extremely tasteless no seasoning at all. The macaroni was extremely dried out and the loaded mash was the same as the other dinner DRY. I also had a side of candied yams that were not sweet at all just an orange potatoe and I ordered the buffalo chicken egg rolls and they were so dry I couldn't even chew them. I liked absolutely nothing about neither meal I'm very disappointed I will not be eating here again. I was too far to go back but I called and was told I could speak to the general manager when she returns. This restaurant needs to close this is the second disappoint I've gotten from them.

    Whoever the cook is at this tonight location is needs to be fired. I ordered a lamb chop dinner and got the smallest lamb chops I've ever received. Instead of complaining and it turning into a back and forth. I ordered two more on the side. Tell me why they play with me like this yall? Why would whoever did this, stuff two lamb chops in this lil bitty container. My food was good but what the heck lol

    Word to the wise staple the container and wrap the bread in parchment paper. The food spilled out into the bag and the bread was soggy.

Modern, classic elegance with an appealing subtle color palette. Simply beautiful! The service was outstanding. They were highly attentive and responded to all of our needs quickly and happily in a very friendly, courteous way, Daisy and her team of bus support were unbelievably attentive. If you go on a day that she is there, ask to be seated in her section. Good service with good food has a tendency to take your experience to atmospheric levels! The bread baskets were filled with rustic Italian bread that was so delicious I thought I was at a trattoria in the rolling hills of Tuscany. Instead of butter, the upscale olive oil dip was very authentic. The menu offers a wide variety of choices for everyone that appeals to carnivores and vegetarians alike. Pastas, beef, pork, lamb and seafood. I asked to substitute one starch for another and the chef made it happen! The food was incredibly fresh. My dining companions has the Maple glazed salmon. The other had the lamb chops. Both raved about the freshness of their meals as well as the perfection to which their dishes were cooked! I had the scallops and substituted the starch with Truffle Fries. The theatrics associated with the presentation of my scallops was breathtaking. It was au flambé! They were so fresh and slightly crusted, i'd never tasted anything that delicious before. Even popular and legendary EAST COAST seafood restaurants could learn a lot about the preparation and presentation of scallops. My meal appropriately mixed textures, tangy tartness and sweetness in the veggie dish consisting of chopped zucchini sweet potatoes and spinach. The way that our meals were plated and presented was sheer "ART," worthy of a museum display. It's a bit pricey, but worth every penny! If I were to recommend an enhancement, I'd recommend some soft background music/jazz or a singer and pianist. It's that type of place. We were celebrating a friend's birthday. The presentation was spectacular! I can't wait to dine al fresco when the weather permits!

I also understand that servers sometimes make assumptions about guests. However, every customer deserves the same level of attention and service, regardless of what a server thinks the tip may be. According to the receipt provided by the manager, I believe our server's name was Jaden. Unfortunately, she never introduced herself and only checked on our table once throughout the meal. Most of the service we received actually came from the manager on duty. I found myself repeatedly getting up to ask for things until I finally asked Jaden, if she was our server. I hoped that would prompt a little more attention to our table, but it didn't. Instead, she remained focused on another table that had arrived before us and was still there after we left. I watched her check on them four or five times while our table was largely ignored. Whether intentionally or not, it certainly felt as though she had decided our table wasn't worth her time. If that was her assumption, then in this particular case she was correct about one thing: my husband and I will not tip for bad service. I have no problem rewarding excellent service, but I also believe tips should reflect the quality of the experience provided. Rather than leaving money for poor service, I chose to give the cash I had to the busboys, who were attentive and helpful throughout the evening. The reason I'm sharing this review is because I don't want one bad experience to overshadow what has otherwise been a good restaurant. I've dined here several times before, live nearby, and have always enjoyed my visits. That's why this experience stood out so much. I'm willing to give the restaurant another chance because I know the level of service they're capable of providing. My hope is that when I return, every guest will receive the same level of attention and hospitality, regardless of assumptions about who they are or what they may tip. Great service should be consistent, and that's what keeps customers coming back. One final thought: tipping culture only works when both sides do their part. GUESTS should recognize and reward good service, and SERVERS should provide quality service to every table. When assumptions are made on either side, EVERYONE loses.

The fried chicken wings were also delicious: crispy on the outside and juicy inside. Our servers, Jordan and Ashton, were spot on the entire time -- timely, professional, polite, and accommodating given the circumstances. Now for the rest. The brunch menu and pricing were a bit ridiculous. When our group first arrived, we were told there were no fried options available, yet later during the meal we noticed other tables receiving fried food -- which is ultimately how we ended up getting the chicken wings ourselves. The food came out sporadically, and some people in our party never even received what they ordered. The restaurant was not particularly busy, so it honestly felt more like poor execution than being overwhelmed. The music was nice in the background, and the drinks were great, but overall the experience was disappointing -- especially for a table celebrating three generations of mothers on Mother's Day. When we addressed the issues, the restaurant manager, Rashaun, seemed more inconvenienced than concerned. Meanwhile, we watched him moving around the restaurant the entire time while our table continued having a poor experience. Definitely expected much better.

I came to enjoy dinner at their Food Bazaar food court followed by a classic Motown Revue concert performed by a cover group called Motor City in their Halsted Ballroom. It was all courtesy of my high roller brother-in-law who had the required points to make it all complimentary. I learned this hotel-casino is owned by a group called the Poarch Band of Creek Indians and they own other properties mainly in AL and FL apparently as well as a few properties overseas. I will review their food court separately under the Food Bazaar Yelp page. Before eating, we walked about the premises. A lot of the space is dedicated to slot machines. They have the usual blackjack, baccarat, and craps tables, a sports betting room, and a smallish 10 table poker room. Other restaurants in the casino, not counting the food court eateries, include the Ivory Noodle Bar, Shuck It Oyster Bar, and The Spot American Diner. As far as the Motown Revue concert, I'll also go with a 3.49 star rating. The Halsted Ballroom has a stated capacity of 800 but we counted 552 seats. It was a comfortable setup albeit loud as the music was contained in a ballroom as opposed to an auditorium setup. The cover band and performers did a nice and entertaining job covering a lot of the classic hits from the Motown era. The performers covered hits by the Supremes, the Four Tops, Marvin Gaye, Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell, Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, and the Temptations. It was an entertaining and reminiscent evening for those of us who grew up in the 60's with this music.
