While in Orland Park, I remembered Soul Vibez. Stopped in for lunch before heading home. Ordered their soul rolls, catfish, collard greens, and candied sweet potatoes. The soul rolls are some of the best. I appreciate that they did not put a dusting of powdered sugar on them, although they did have a sugar dipping sauce on the side. The fried catfish was divine. The crust was out of this world. My hat goes off for the collard greens that were seasoned nicely and the sweet potatoes that weren't overly sugary. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I noticed they stopped putting in-house dining meals in to-go containers. The sides were in small containers, but hot food in the clear plastic containers before used to make dining in-house feel rushed. They really stepped up their game.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Purchased 3 catfish dinners which each come with 2 sides. I had the collard greens and sweet potatoes. Everything but the "canned " sweet potatoes was extremely salty--and I like salt. 2 big fillet pieces but again the coating was overly salty. Also ordered a side of the fried green tomatoes, mush. Again very heavy on the salt. The tomatoes tasted strongly of vinegar and were like mush with the breading , again salty, falling off. There was a small container of what I assumed to be their version of remoulade sauce which was runny and sweet. This was a pickup order that cost me $104.88‼‼ Fried Green Tomatoes were inedible. NEVER AGAIN UPDATE: I CONTACTED THE MANAGER WITH A LETTER DESCRIBING THE PROBLEM AND PROMPTLY RECEIVED A FULL REFUND ALONG WITH A $25 CREDIT THAT CAN BE USED ON FUTURE PURCHASES read more

So the price was expensive. The presentation...blah. But the taste.....OMG. I didn't mind the cost so much as the metal trays and plastic forks. But the taste offsets it. My wife and I had lamb chops, oysters, catfish and grits, with Mac and cheese, cream of corn, and greens and cornbread. 9.5 rating. All of the food was good. Get that presentation right and this place is a WINNER!!! read more

Soul Vibez - HOT HONEY CRISPY SALMON & WAFFLES - Soul Food Near Me - Orland Park, Illinois

Went here a few weeks ago. A bit of a late review. I'll start with the really good. The Mash Potatoes were excellent. The Greens were good, that's really a compliment. Most greens i try at restaurants are barely OK. But these were above average. The Catfish was pretty good. Nothing special. Really couldn't taste the lemon pepper much. They also have a number of vegan items. Including an oreo cookie shake made with I think almond milk. It was good, not as sweet, but my stomach like it much better lol. They are a bit pricey I'll have to admit. But it's solid soul food. Have to go back again and taste a few more things. read more

I went in on a rainy Saturday night and they were super busy! The line was long and the wait was too. They were so nice, too. I got some fried green tomatoes and catfish. Omggg it was soo good. It tasted so fresh and clean so I was okay with the wait. It was so good that I wanted to shake the hand of the chef who made it!! I definitely have this on my list to go back to! read more

The service was quick we waiting about 20-25 minutes for the food which wasn't bad we went Sunday June 14th. I got the chicken pasta Alfredo the pasta was really good but the chicken had a very bad burned taste that I had to return it... but the staff was very understanding and allowed me to pick another meal which was the sweet potatoes and catfish and Mac and cheese which was sooo good I forgot to get a picture. Oh can't forget the homemade lemonade. It was delicious! read more

Soul Vibez - Chicken Alfredo Pasta - Soul Food Near Me - Orland Park, Illinois

Stopped in on a whim. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Smells very strongly of perfumes/room sprays. No smell of food or anything.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was okay, not greeted or anything. It's counter service, order, take a number, sit and wait. Water with lemons on the back table with cups to fill it yourself. Tried to order a drink, was told I had to sit at a table and wait for someone to come and take that order. Very annoying if you can only use one receipt to expense- but anyway. The young lady working, I didn't get her name but she was very very kind. Looking at other reviews, she's def been there for a while and knows what she's doing! Wings were 9/10 amazing, crunchy, meaty and flavorful. soul rollllls baby!! 8/10 So good. The crunch was great, flavors all came together so well! Some parts were really dry but definitely could be overlooked lol. That's how good they were. Jerk chicken nachos were a -1000/10 for me. The cheese was INSANELY coagulated on top, no flavor at all. Like nasty microwaved cheese sauce. The chips were stale. The flavor of the chicken was decent but it was dry and cold. Whole thing was inedible. pink French 1/10 first things first, the plastic flute was off putting. It smelled weird and the outside felt as if it was washed with a Brillo pad, I hated that. It was warm at best and tasted like boxed juice. No bubbles, no flavor really. Just juice. Def wouldn't recommend! Overall, I would probably come back but not in a rush to do so! read more

They have changed and started giving less portions and more fillers like they're trying to stretch the food. Also, the manager needs a much better attitude and know that a smile goes along with customer service. read more

Stopped in because I was looking for a black owned business and was pleasantly pleased that I did. The first thing I noted was how I was greeted ... I was asked if I wanted vegan or soul food ... I choose soul food and had the stuffed chicken while my friend had the catfish. The chicken and moist and tender with a really good cream type of filling. The catfish was fried perfectly and wasn't over breaded. The sides, greens and garlic mash were just so so. There was a frozen adult drink that I wish I could remember the name, it was soo good ... If you're in Orlands Mall and looking for a bite to eat, I would strongly suggest this place. read more

The food is delicious!!! Best tasting FRESH fried catfish I had in a long time. The Mac and cheese was excellent, the collard greens tasted like they came from a can and they were not seasoned. The jerk chicken was flavorful and well seasoned expertly. I was not a fan of the red beans and rice they were bland. We had some soul rolls which had collard greens, candy, yams, and mac & cheese. Inside of them. Those were absolutely amazing. I dined in and the service was disappointing, and they put your food in plastic containers, even if you're dining in. I am not a fan of eating out of plastic containers when I am dining at a restaurant. The inside had a beautiful vibe to it and the music was soulful 90s R&B. I would return for their delicious food, but only place a pick up order not interested at all in dining at a restaurant with serves you food out of plastic containers. read more

SCRUMPTIOUS!!!! Soul Vibez was an unforgettable dining experienced my family and I loved. Soul Vibez atmosphere was welcoming and friendly. The staff was well Mannered & nice. They were quick with placing orders and receiving. Total time was 30mins. The place was spectacular clean, pretty props, spacing, and gorgeous back drops for memorable times. The menu was a soul food type of vibe. Comfort food for the soul as my grandmother would say. We ordered salmon bites, chicken Alfredo with a hint of jerk sauce, soul rolls, cornbread, Mac and cheese, mashed potatoes with the lamb chops! We definitely had a feast. Everything was delicious, flavorful, tenderness and just DAYUMM tasty! Located in Orland park. You can order online or pickup. Everything is boxed to order BUT can asked to be plated for a more dinning experience to the liking. read more

Amazing soul food at a decent price along with great customer service! Would highly recommend !

SUPER OVERRATED! The cashier with the blonde short hair was rude as hell. She doesn't know how to talk to people. It's not about what you are saying, it's about how you say it. Ordered an appetizer as a meal, asked to be brought out with the other food ordered. They brought it out 1st anyway. The food is mid. Looks better than it tastes. Definitely disappointed overall considering how much I paid for it, wasn't worth the $110 spent for sure, I've had better food at Chili's. Will not be back. Will not recommend. read more

My $26 lunch was delicious!!! This place isn't new but my first time there. I chose the stuffed salmon, mac and cheese and greens. Typical choices, but delicious. The Mac and cheese and greens may be the best I've ever had in a restaurant. The only complaint I have is the grease my salmon sat in... last pic is the grease I soaked up before eating. Service was delightful and efficient. Can't wait to return to try other dishes. They also have an extensive vegan menu. -- at Soul Vibez. read more

We had the catfish with mashed potatoes and asparagus, and the salmon Philly with greens and Mac n cheese. I wish I would have taken pictures! If you like bland over/undercooked food stay away from this place. Everything was an explosion of flavor but also tasted like you were invited to a dinner made by someone who put their heart and their insanely good cooking skills to good use! My son said after only a few bites that he wants Soul Vibez to cater his graduation because he wants everyone to be able to get some of this food! We will be back again and again and again. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Also we did a pick up order but the restaurant is cozy and has a cool vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Perfect to take a date and make it look like you really put some thought into it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You will not break the bank here but you will have to loosen up those jeans when you're done.

The salmon bites with the spicy honey sauce were simply amazing! It took a looong time to get my order, about 40 minutes. I originally ordered the salmon egg rolls, but the lady forgot to tell me that there was cheese on them. In my opinion, the egg rolls would be great without the cheese. The cheese was thick and icky! Love the pictures and flowers on the walls. read more

New place for us! Went for my bday with my husband and 2 girl friends. Food was good. We had stuffed chicken, fried wings and catfish.

This place is amazing and the food is good. They offer soul food and vegan options . It's busy on the weekends but it's definitely worth it to go in if you can find a seat in there to eat there delicious soul food. It's right across Orland mall so after shopping you can go grab some good food read more

My cousin who I found on Ancestry was visiting town this week. He invited me to a MARVELOUS Black Owned business where the food in AMAZING. We went to Soul Vibez in Orland Park. I implore you to make the trip, be there when they open and enjoy the magnificent food. I usually do not like being served in to go containers when I sit down at a restaurant but the food here was so good I just did not care. I had heard from other video bloggers that the Stuff Chicken was the business with a side of Mac-n-Cheese and Greens. I am here to tell you it was so good I called my mother to tell her I would bring her here first chance. I sent her the website and she zeroed in on the Lamb Chops and said she would be ready.   My cousin and I ate well this day. That man had the Catfish with Red Beans & Rice with Cornbread. He just lost a lot of weight so he gave me half the corn bread. FUCKING DELISCIOUS! He also ordered Salmon Bites. Look I really do not know how many more adjectives I can use to describe the flavors of this place. Superb, fantastic, exciting, fresh, bold, flavorful. I think you get the picture. This place is a hit. I hope they never change a thing like most places that get popular and start raising prices while lowering quality. That will get you put out of business quick...and rightfully so!   For now, I am telling you to seek out a location. The owner has 3 but I like Orland Park because it far away from crowds, there is parking and you can get in, ENJOY GREAT FOOD and get out. I will be returning. The prices are fair, not LOW but not high at this time. You get what you pay for in this place. She has Vegan options available as well. EVERYONE can eat and be happy. If you are on a diet, this ain't the place for you.   Follow me so you can see when I post. read more

I am ambivalent. My order was incorrect. Prices are significantly out of proportion to the quantity and the quality of the food. I was charged over $40 and I was far from satisfied. Let me explain. First disappointment was the extremely long wait. I placed my order at the counter with over a 45 minute wait. Second disappointment was that my order was incorrect. I requested an order of Mac & Cheese but instead received two orders of greens. When I got home I checked the order slip with my food and noted that the counter staff made the error. I asked for Mac & Cheese and she listed a second Greens. Third disappointment related to basic hygiene. My order was taken by a woman who repeatedly used her hands to fling her long braids back over her shoulder. Give that woman a hair band (and hearing aid)!! She did not wash her hands to prepare condiment containers, pack carryout orders, deliver food to tables, etc. Fourth disappointment was the size and quantity of my food. My jerk chicken wings were tasty but very, very small. They looked like pigeon wings! I also noted that the side orders were also on the small size. The order of red beans and rice was nicely seasoned. Fifth disappointment rests with the quality of the food. There were lots of stems in the greens; possibly making up one fifth of the order. The sweet potatoes were overly sweeten (lots of sugar), lacking in seasoning, and very, very stringy. The owner was very kind and thoughtful, offering a complimentary drink to compensate for the excessively long wait. Kindness goes a long way. I will give them another try. read more

Soul Vibez - Collard Greens with Stems - Soul Food Near Me - Orland Park, Illinois

I feel like my expectations were too high for this place and my ratings would've probably been higher if I heard nothing about it beforehand. But... the place is small and packed.. not a problem though. We found a place to sit and got in line. Our full party wasn't there yet so I just ordered appetizers. They said it will take 35-40 minutes... just for the appetizers! And it did!! Service was good!! No attitude and everyone smiling. Catfish and grits.. bussin!! Salmon bites... bussin!! Fried tomatoes pretty good. Them soul rolls wasn't good to me at all. One thing I didn't like was one of the workers walked right through the dining area going to the back with some of that country time lemonade powder. Pissed me off because I'm paying $10 for a small lemonade drink and this what y'all using?? At least use fresh ingredients when you have people paying top dollar for something! Anyway once we got the food I had no time to take pictures because I was hungry x2 read more

If u like vegan food, this is your go to spot i tried the vegan Italian beef for the first time and it was amazing.

Will be going back to try other foods in [[HIGHLIGHT]]Also if the owner or manger see this it's cold out pls put the heat on thank u[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] . read more

We went to Soul Vibez on a Saturday afternoon around 1pm. Fortunately, it wasn't crowded and there wasn't a line. It was confusing since there are two restaurants that are side by side when you reach the counter and two different menus. We went with the soul food vs. the vegan restaurant option. There are some unique items on the menu, like soul food egg rolls, salmon egg rolls and crispy salmon bites. We ordered the soul food egg rolls, honey fried chicken and waffles, crispy salmon bites, stuffed salmon, macaroni and cheese, greens, red beans and rice, chocolate chip cookies and strawberry lemonade. The soul food egg rolls were excellent! They were the best part of the meal although they are only an appetizer. I didn't care for the grease that the salmon was fried in...tasted like old grease. The stuffing in the salmon was way too rich. Literally, I needed to add greens to the portion on my fork to offset the richness. The waffles were good, the wings tasted like they were fried in the same oil as the salmon bites, but they were ok, especially with the honey sauce provided. The greens were too salty. The macaroni and cheese was too runny and not baked as most soul food restaurants do. The red beans and rice were good. The chocolate chip cookies were vegan and had a different texture, but tasted pretty good. The strawberry lemonade was very tasty, but a bit too sweet for me. We were dining in, but all orders are created to-go and in containers. Would be nice if they at least gave paper plates for those that are dining for guests to put their food on for it to feel more like a dine-in experience. The restaurant itself is nice and they have two all gender restrooms. Unfortunately, there was no soap in one of the restrooms, which presents sanitary concerns. Overall though, the restaurant was clean. There is also outdoor seating, which is a good option during warmer months. It's important to note that this food is expensive. We had three separate orders that totaled to well over $100. Portion sizes are small for the prices and dining experience. The customer service was great and we received our food within about 15 minutes. I would return to support this business - but I'd only purchase the soul food egg rolls with a strawberry lemonade. read more

During my first visit to this restaurant I was a little confused by the two business names on the signage. When I entered we were not greeted by a host because this is a walk in and order at the register restaurant. The menu offered 2 meats and 2 seafood options with multiple vegetables as menu items. I tried the fried chicken wings with collard greens and vegan garlic mashed potatoes. I was informed that my order would take 30-35 minutes. I observed that all food was placed in bags and served in to-go containers. My order was ready after 45 minutes which was a bit disappointing considering it was already a long wait. All items were tasty and fresh. I wish there were a location in Chicago to visit again. I suggest that everyone pre-order their food to avoid long waits. read more

Soul Vibez - Fried chicken wings with vegan garlic mash and greens. - Soul Food Near Me - Orland Park, Illinois

I am a public health official and just offer some advice as I would like to see this business become successful. The fried chicken tasted like it was on the edge of freezer burn and the seasoning was heavily tilted towards salt. The cornbread was very dry and had the consistency of a brick. The macaroni and cheese was very good. The pricing was very high for the quality of food served. Good luck! read more

The decor and feel of this place is really nice. There are booths along one side and a bar along the other. We we're promptly seated at a booth that accommodated the three of us. The hostess provided us with information about the menu including which items were denoted as vegan. When our waitress came she brought us water but there was no silverware. We ordered appetizers including the soul rolls and salmon bites. They brought them out without any plates or silverware. When the runner brought the silverware, he brought out two plates instead of 3, which we thought was bizarre. The soul rolls were really tasty and are filled with mac and cheese and greens and they give you sweet potato sauce to drizzle over it. One friend order the lamb chops, and we felt like the lamb chops serving side left much to be desired for the cost. Another friend ordered the fried catfish and her portions were sizable. I ordered the salmon that was stuffed with cheese and spinach. The stuffed salmon was good, my sides were good (red beans and rice and mashed potatoes). Unfortunately while we were there our waitress did not come back to our table unless we needed refills on water and which we had to call her over. She spent most of her time behind the bar taking pictures of drinks and doing other things besides tending to the customers. I should also mention that there were not a lot of people in the restaurant. She was nice enough and then it seemed like towards the end she tried to redeem herself but we definitely felt neglected. At some point the owner came over and asked us was everything okay. Then when the waitress brought our check we did not see our itemized check and when I asked about this she said that it would show us when we paid on the machine and it didn't. I was only able to see it once I requested a mobile receipt after already swiping my card. One thing that they did not tell us at this restaurant is that they charge a 20% gratuity and since we could not see the itemized receipt beforehand we did not know this. This may be standard for Chicago restaurants but still they should have signed somewhere and the waitress should state it as well. All in all, I will definitely go back for the soul rolls and some of those sides. read more

Four slices of tomatoes that I could have readily cooked at home...nothing special there...Your food is not plated; it's served in take out containers. There isn't a knife in the plastic cutlery...Am I not supposed to cut my food??? Soul Vibez offers the bare minimum when it comes to ambiance, decor, and esthetics!!! I just don't get it; paying high end prices for food, then eating out of containers with plastic utensils...I'm not at a picnic nor a BBQ shack!!! Sigh!!! Argh!!! read more
