We…read morewere greeted and sat promptly, infused water was bought to the table and within 3-4 minutes the server arrived. While we waited music was being played so its hard to have a conversation. Music is pretty loud in this small space. We decided on the 3 entrees for 69.00 with a glass of wine. We chose the pepper steak, smothered chicken, orange chicken, catfish and spaghetti, and the bbq catfish. Overall the food was ok., The bbq fish was a little to fishy and the smothered chicken was heavily salted. The star of our 6 dishes was the fried piece of catfish. The food came out quickly but nothing was piping hot. The server was OK as well, he did exactly what we expect of a server nothing more nothing less. I will say next time I would take the drive to the West side location, to me the food choices are better as well as the service.

Service was great as usual. They were very attentive. The ambiance is beautiful and inviting. I ordered the short rib which was amazing as always! I also got the cornbread and Mac n cheese. Loved both as usual lol. My friend ordered the ny strip, and it was delicious too! That was my first time trying it, and it was seasoned so well! I was very impressed by it because I don't hear people talk about the steak often when they go there. For dessert, I got the carrot cake which was good as well. Overall I enjoyed my experience, and I'll continue returning.

We all ordered the Grand Tasting, which lets you try three entrees plus a beverage. It was so much food but everything was delicious. I had the short rib, fried chicken, and catfish, each with different sides. The only thing I did not really care for was the dressing. They also had live entertainment, which made the vibe even better. Customer service was just okay, but I would still recommend it. I definitely want to try their other location since I have heard the menu is different.

I recently visited Soul Food Lounge on Chicago's West Side and overall had a good experience…read more The restaurant itself is pretty small, and the layout feels a little awkward when you first walk in since you're looking directly into the kitchen. The ambiance wasn't quite what I expected, but the service and food made up for it. I ordered the Caribbean stuffed turkey leg, which came with pasta, spinach, a couple of jumbo shrimp, and a turkey drumstick. The dish was flavorful and satisfying overall. My only criticisms were that the spinach was chopped so finely that it was hard to really taste it, and the turkey drumstick seemed smaller than expected. I was hoping for a meatier drumstick, but most of the meat was concentrated toward the bottom of the bone. For dessert, I had a slice of carrot cake, and it was excellent. I would have loved for it to be served warm, but it was still moist, flavorful, and a great way to end the meal. I also tried the fried pound cake, and unfortunately, it was a miss for me. It didn't taste like pound cake, and honestly, it wasn't a very good cake in general. It's not something I would order again. One thing I noticed is that the menu doesn't appear to offer appetizers or salads, which might be something to consider if you're looking for more variety before your main course. Overall, I enjoyed my visit. While there were a few things that could be improved, the stuffed turkey and carrot cake were enjoyable, and I'd be willing to come back and try something else on the menu.

So glad we stopped. We were having a hard time finding a place in the neighborhood that just had good food and a place to sit down. I'll be honest, this is not without the neighborhood charm but that's REAL Chicago. It takes me back though. It was nice to see folks coming in and patiently waiting for their orders. As for the food. My god. Everything was spot on. The Mac and cheese was real Mac and cheese. It wasn't hiding behind an overload of cheese. It reminded me of my mom saying get that block of cheese out and get to shredding. It was the real deal. I don't even like cornbread like that but the muffins were banging! Portions were a good size. Prices were reasonable for what you are getting. The sweet potatoes had a special ingredient that I won't share. You gotta go try it. Again, not a huge sweet potato fan but this was like good sweet potato pie. Nothing but good eating here!

Not that expensive Soulfood fusion stuff either. Good old fashioned soul food. Let me say, it ain't cheap but there is something for every budget. If you cannot afford short ribs, get something you can afford. Duh. Fortunately, I can afford em and so I got them. They were perfect. Gravy was perfect. I was hesitant about the red beans and rice BUT they were some of the best I've had outside of my own. Greens were delicious as well. The portions were huge! Me and my wife were talking about how heavy our plates were. We each had three full meals of each plate. And when she wasn't looking, I ate some of hers too. She got the turkey wings (fire), mac and cheese (fire), and dressing. She said that was dry but when I went to steal some from her it was all gone. It was some good outside the house dressing. For desert we got the pudding cakes or cake puddings...idk what they are really but it was delicious. I have no idea why this place has three stars. Yall tripping. No, it doesn't taste like YOUR mother's but your mother's might be trash to someone. Is it good still? Absolutely.

I did not eat because the food did not taste good however I didn't complain, but the folks who was with me felt that I shouldn't have paid however, I didn't wanna make a fuss about it . They called the manager. He came over and asked me what was the issue. I let him know that I did not eat the food and that I basically pay to be there "" he looked me right in my face and said I'm so sorry to hear that please come again and the list go on..

We made reservations for 8 people for Mother's Day dinner at 7:30 PM while visiting Chicago this…read moreweekend. We arrived approximately 25 minutes early and had no issue waiting until our reservation time. The experience became disappointing when our server advised that multiple menu items were already sold out, including the candy yams, smothered turkey wings, collard greens, and a few additional items. We understood it was a busy holiday and were willing to work around that. However, after placing our order for appetizers (fried green tomatoes and buffalo wings) along with drinks, it took approximately 40 minutes for the appetizers to arrive. We were then told our entrées should be out shortly, but another 40 minutes passed with no food and no meaningful updates. At that point, after waiting over 2 1/2 hours and it being after 9:00 PM, we decided to leave. The complimentary warm champagne offered did not resolve the situation. What made the experience even more frustrating was the lack of communication, poor service overall, and no visible manager on duty to address the issue or assist customers. We understand holidays are busy, but waiting over two hours without receiving our meals is unacceptable, especially with a reservation for a large party planned in advance. Unfortunately, this experience put a damper on what was supposed to be a special Mother's Day family dinner.
