    Hot Honey Butter Chicken*
    Naiima D.

    Let me just say this, the quality of your food is exceptional! Your Dream Bar is top of the line delicious!!! However, your hot honey butter chicken sandwich is tasteless. Not a lick of seasoning or herbs was used in creating this sandwich!!! Great quality ingredients with no flavor whatsoever. Also my jaws hurt after eating it. It had a very hard fry on it yet the chicken thigh wasn't dry. The sandwich was executed well as far as the cooking technique. I would say don't over do the batter. I will return to try something else and will critique it soon. I gave three stars because that dream bar was really delicious and you do use quality ingredients.

    Lemon passion fruit pound cake

    Really nice seeing a new healthy, casual option in the area! I arrived in the afternoon and guests ranged from folks looking to study solo to friends catching up over coffee and a meal. The menu is a smorgasborg with something for everyone. There are a wide array of sandwiches, salads, and breakfast items alongside a fancier kitchen menu, decadent pastries, and bougie coffee. The staff was very friendly and provided recommendations while I waffled in indecision. Eventually, I opted for the roasted veggie and grain bowl with chicken and took a lemon passionfruit pound cake for the road. The bowl had a delicious dressing and all of the ingredients were high quality and fresh. Although the price seemed high, it did last me for two very sizable meals. The pastry was absolutely divine- moist and not too sweet with citrus-forward flavor. Definitely recommend if you're in the area!

    Cute small spot with ton of snack options. I had the best cookie that was peanut butter with puppy chow on top. Also loved the Oreo rice krispy cake. One thing I received the crossaint was to hard to eat. It had definitely been sitting there awhile.

    The food is delicious! However the costumer service is not good. One of the employees was eating as she was taking orders. There's no signs on where to do pick up I had to get in line to pick up my order. What's the point of ordering ahead if you still make people get in line? It was 7/13 Sunday at 1:05 pm Place is pretty crowded.

    We visited yesterday for coffee and a snack. Both were very good. The workers were so friendly. I ordered the Dubai cold brew and was blown away at how good it was. Hands down best cold brew I have had. We sat outside and had a nice time. We would definitely visit again.

    First time visiting The Goddess and Grocer and what a pleasant surprise. Not only is it a cafe but also has the cutest merchandise. While waiting for the food to be ready, it was very enjoyable browsing the store area of the cafe. The Veggie Smash Burger and the Tuna Melt which I must say was so delicious. The Smashed Brussels Sprouts were seasoned and cooked perfectly. The Vegan CupCake was inhaled, so so good!

As waiter came to the table we received dirty napkins and spoons. When food finally arrived, it was cold so we had to wait a couple more minutes. Just my worst experience for my first time here.

Sometimes when I'm trying to find "international" ingredients at Mariano's or something it's hit or miss. I found what I needed here and it was a fairly quick trip--I don't think I was in store more than 20 minutes. The store is small, and very very crowded. Aisles are about as wide as a single person facing forward. This isn't a place where you're going to get a shopping cart down an aisle. The prices are good. I got a head of Napa cabbage for 99 cents per pound, and when I go to my neighborhood store it's usually closer to $3-4 or more per pound. Since it was such a steal I added hot and sour soup to my menu for the week. There's a parking lot at this store. It's one way, and you must enter from Archer. DO NOT enter the wrong way or you won't be able to park--the spaces are angled and there's not enough space between the building and the fencing to turn yourself around. There are only about ten parking spaces here so I'm sure it gets filled pretty quick, but when I was here I was the only car parked here. There's street parking which can be pretty chancy, but maybe I'm just speaking from the perspective of someone who was here on a busy Sunday in Chinatown.

    Jewel Osco was the most recommended rotisserie chicken that I had in Chicago…read more I went in to pick up my beloved bird, but damn near broke my neck when I saw a 15+ person line over at the fried chicken station. A line for grocery store fried chicken? Absolute cinema. People have been recommending I get into fried chicken reviews, and I've resisted as I really don't want to get fat, but this was the perfect storm to start a grocery store fried chicken review journey. I got to the front in the line and felt like a fish out of water. I sheepishly asked the employees, Darius R and Damariea J, what the move was as it was my first time getting fried chicken from here. I thought they'd be annoyed, but they were so helpful and welcoming. "Today is actually wing bucket Friday! A whole bucket is normally $17.99 but today it's $9.99. I can give you some of everything so you can try, but the spicy wings are my favorite." Hell yeah. Darius was the MAN. I took my tissi and wing bucket to the UIC campus for consumption. The tissi was a brick and landed at a 6/10, which currently ranks it 71st out of 94 grocery store birds I've tried, but the fried chicken was INSANE. Darius wasn't lying, the spicy wings were next level. The best grocery store chicken I've ever had. Boomin the Publix fried chicken. Shoutout to the Darius' and Damariea's of the world. Good people.

There's always ample parking that's free and there is a large variety of choices of foods as well as non-food items. The prices are a little bit higher, but it's convenient because they are everywhere. And they are really good sales sometimes where you can get mushrooms for one dollar, strawberries for one dollar, blueberries for one dollar, and even tofu for $1 which was just on 3/9/25. On the app, you can get a free item almost every weekend, but you just have to clip it as well as the digital coupons. Just make sure all the prices get scanned properly when you look at your receipt and they will adjust it right away if there is ever a technical error. Overall, having a Jewel Osco in Chicago makes life easier for me because of the sales as well as finding one everywhere.

As always, I am looking for new fantastic restaurants, and stores to try out, and share with: family, friends, and on Yelp. As you walk in it seems like a common corner store, groceries in the front, meat towards the rear. When I walked to the back I had a pretty good hunch this would be a great one. The fresh smell, it was very clean, and the amazing eye catching signage. You could feel like you just walked into in a sweet little store in Mexico. When they handed me the food I ordered I knew was on the right track. When I took my first bites I smiled, and knew, I needed to share this place. I was intrigued by the Pozole Verde sign out front. I had never had it before, so I placed my order for that and zero regrets. It comes out in a quart container with a plastic wrapped foam tray with: chopped onions, cilantro, radish, shredded cabbage, and mexican oregano. I added mostly everything but went easy on the oregano. The chunks of chicken were tender and not overcooked. The hominy and vegetables were just right as well. They have this to a science and it has to be near perfect. Now to the tacos: As you often see in neighborhood grocery stores the chorizo was hanging in back above the meat counter, so a house made chorizo taco was a given. The Al Pastor was reccomend by the one of the butchers, and I had a steak taco to round it, and myself, out. All I can say is that like the pozole everything was superb. Even the salsas.. I wish I knew of this place when I worked and lived in the area. I would definitely have known everyone there by name. I still smile thinking of it, and next time I'm in that hood, I will be there. I look forward to trying out a few more menu items, and picking up some of the fresh meat. So maybe don't slap Grandma... but you should at least pick her up and take her out to lunch here. Enjoy! #AlfieEats
