I had an amazing experience... the atmosphere was really relaxed and the service was excellent. The shrimp was incredibly flavorful... I just wish there had been more shrimp in the order. The music was fantastic and the vibes were wonderful. read more

I can't stress enough how much this is a hidden gem! This place is right off state st on 55th. Very chic, perfect to come in for a solo lunch or moody dinner vibe. Music is diverse and perfect level to chat but still vibe. This place does southern cuisine right. Portions size and pricing is perfect. Cocktails are really good and honestly charge more. Food: Herbed Shrimp & toast: 20/10 there's a hint of spice but loves just get it! Get it. It reminds me of the lobster served at Hampton Social with a kick. Smash burger & fries: There was an abundance of fries and I loved that. The burger was so good I didn't mind it was American cheese. The burger was amazing 20/10 Catfish is so amazing. Flaky and perfectly crispy. Not salty. Just perfect. Get it. Green beans: 20/10 turkey meat was top tier Mac n cheese: is not my favorite but the texture, cheese, and salty flavor was perfect. The dish is a bit sweet but customers love it so you may too. 8/10 Drinks: 20/10 The Park Bulldog, this feature a mini corona bottle and it's really good. I could finish bc I drove lmao. Blueberry Mojito I can say this was good, a bit heavy of the syrup, but outside of that I'd get it again. Overall had enough to take home the family and everyone smashed before I snack. I'm quite upset but it's fine. I will be back to get more soon! I heard brunch is fabulous so I'm coming in! read more

I had high hopes for this place as I have driven past it planty of times and was super excited to try it. Man worse decision! We had reservation for 10 PM got seated on time. I will say the drinks are good and strong! No complaints there. What I will say is horrible is the service and overall experience. I ordered a burger and 15 min later was told that they were out and they were still frozen. I then changed my order to the catfish I was ultimately told there were out off all the ail the sides and I only had the choice of fries. Bummer! Not to mention, my appetizer that I put in with my drinks she told me they also ran out, 30 minutes after I ordered it. read more

Strong drinks to mask the lackluster food. Service was fine. The stars here are only for the service not the food. I ordered the same drink and it was prepared differently the second round. I ordered the large shrimp with garlic bread that was severed with a spicy broth which was delicious. I got a Caesar salad with steak as the protein, I got med rare, it came out med well no crust at all, to which I was informed that they thaw the meat to order which is crazy. With that information I didn't order the ny strip but instead the "double smash burger " which wasn't smashed just a regular burger. The mayo and onion jam was a nice addition to the burger with a side of previously frozen fries. I think a few of the ways they prepare the food should change to make the price make sense. I'd recommend this place for drinks rather than food. Definitely a place for groups to go have a drink and a good time. Won't be back. Almost forgot to mention it's about a 25-40min wait time between orders with me being the only one in the restaurant. Do with that what you will. read more

The atmosphere is always great!!! The DJ threw down and made it very entertaining while we enjoyed our food, drinks, and convo. I ate the gumbo which was smaller than expected but it was good. The cornbread is very sweet but I smashed 3 pieces (gotta check my sugar levels). read more

I've been hearing a lot about this place, so when my alumni association asked me to find a place for brunch, I decided it was time to give them a shot. We took a group of about 8. For a while, we were the only people there, so we had the full attention of the staff. They were very friendly and accommodating. Epitome of service with a smile! I will say - the bartender makes a mean French 75. Several of us enjoyed them. Others took advantage of the bottomless mimosa package for only $25. I had the Shrimp & Grits. The dish was very...VERY aggressively seasoned. The sauce was broken and super oily (no seriously, there was A LOT of oil left behind on my plate). I will say the honey cornbread combined with the creamy grits (without the sauce of course) wasn't that bad. A friend tried a side of potatoes, and surprisingly (or ironically) they weren't seasoned at all. I really try to support Black-owned businesses. I might return, but only for drinks...probably not for food. #ImNotAFoodie #ImJustAGirlWhoLovesFood read more

Came to this establishment for a Brown Skin Brunchin event. We were set in the adjoining conference room. That probably was strike 1 as typically this group goes to a restaurant/bar for the ambience. The conference room was nice but it wasn't giving you brunch vibes. On the plus side you could hear the music from the next room. If I lived in the area, maybe would book room for an event if they could come through on prompt service. Regular bar and restaurant area is nicely decorated. On to the service. Our server was so sweet. Unfortunately she was overwhelmed. Strike 2, this place did not have adequate staff to work our event, also an AKA brunch happening in the same room plus their restaurant brunch hour. She did her best...food took an incredibly long time to come out. Some people in our group still didnt have food after 90 minutes. Definitely not a good reflection on the restaurant or group that selected this restaurant. Service 2 Stars Anyway the Brunch 2 hour $25 drink special was good. I mostly stuck to Mimosa. They use my favorite value Prosecco. It took awhile but eventually we got a bottle put on the table since multiple people were drinking this unlimited deal. Food: we grabbed shrimp appetizers. Very good served warm and had delicious garlic bread attached. For brunch I got fish and chips. My sister-in-law got the catfish. Both our dishes were good and warm. My French fries could of been crisper. I enjoyed the fried cod. The cole slaw on the side was also tasty. They could reduce the amount of smoked paprika but it was a good addition to the spice profile. Food 4 stars. Overall not great. However didn't get 3 strikes... Unsure if I would come back because I don't live close. For the price of gas, I need a more consistent service and food. Park around building as attached parking lot is for residents only. Black owned restaurant in a predominantly black neighborhood so I really hope they get together. The fish was fried very good. read more

The Park Bar & Grill - Fish & Chips - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

We had a party of more than 20 guests. We were there to celebrate his 65th birthday. The restaurant was very welcoming and the hostess greeting helped warmed the atmosphere. Reservations were made in advance for 20 people however upon arrival there was only seating for 16 people. There was an extended wait for several chairs to be brought to the dining room. It wasn't until we were leaving that we saw several chairs in the other room that already had chair covers on them. Still don't understand why there was at least a 20 minute wait. When I was finally seated I was told that for $50.00 I could order the buffet and have bottomless mimosas, so that was my choice. My first mistake was I didn't inquire what brand of Champagne would be used for the mimosas . It wasn't until I received the opened bottle of Andre' (cheap) Champagne that I learned the brand. That brand would cost less than $8.00 to the average consumer, yet this establishment charge $25.00. The business could have offered a better brand and still made a profit with the $25.00 charge. Kobel is an inexpensive brand that doesn't cause headaches when consumed. I understand the markup however, to swindle your customers out of more than $15.00 is outrageous. The service was mediocre due to our server being the only person working the 20+ guest. It didn't help matters when the kitchen staff wasn't able to keep up with the non-buffet diners. There was at least a 45 minute wait for a breakfast plate. I had the buffet w/bottomless mimosas, I was very pleased with the menu offered on the buffet. My favorite from the buffet was the cheese grits and I topped them w/sautéed shrimp. The fish offered on the buffet was overcooked however it did have good flavor. The live entertainment with the band and singers helped to enhance my experience with this establishment. I got to see and hear Rev. T.L. Barrett and his children perform at the restaurant. That added a special touch to my dining experience. Upon receiving my bill I noticed I was over charged an additional $5.00. This was due to being charged separately for that cheap A$$ bottle of Andre' Champagne. Once I informed my server she presented it to her manager and it was removed. My problem is I should not have to scrutinize my bill to learn that I was being over charged $5.00. I know it may sound minimal however, if 100 patrons were over charged $5.00 that would lead to an extra $500.00 in the business pocket, unfair. I am all for patronizing Black owned businesses however when things like this happens it gives me second thoughts on ever visiting the establishment again. I pray this message will be seen and read by management and owners of this establishment and they recognize and correct the issues stated in my comments. read more

Get here and get here fast! The food was prepared by Chef Serge Hien and BABYYYYYYY! So freaking good! I had the catfish dish and a small cup of gumbo. The venue very sexy and chic, DJ Bipolar on spinning a whole vibe, do you hear me. Parked right in front for free on a Sunday. Marcus was our server, very attentive and funny. They did not skip a beat in this place. I don't know why more people aren't here. So good, Sunday is everything. Get here and get here fast! LIFE GRANTED!!! read more

I went to Park Supper Club for a friends birthday brunch this weekend and it was such a nice time! This is a really nice venue for a celebration or weekend brunch. The staff is super friendly and the food is AMAZING ! I had the catfish entree and it was so delicious. The mac and cheese was fabulous! Also, if you like mimosas, it pays to get the unlimited mimosas for $25! The mimosas come in different flavors like peach and strawberry. There is something for everyone. There is also plenty of street parking in the area. I am looking forward to visiting this restaurant again very soon! read more

Came for Mother's Day was clearly l profiled by the door man as I sent someone else in after me and she was told something different. Very disappointing but not surprising at all read more

This is my second visit, and I must admit, I wasn't thrilled with my initial visit. But this visit solidified my thoughts initially...that the food is mediocre at best (really bad this second visit), and the drinks are a hit or miss. The staff is friendly, the service was better this time, and the ambiance is upbeat and entertaining. So entertaining that the staff was drinking and serving...go figure. Here's a few issues I had with this last dining experience. I stopped by and it just so happened to be during happy hours from the scanned menu I saw the specials and confirmed with the bartender where I was sitting, and he confirmed. I ordered the regular Margaritas and chicken from the happy hour menu. After the disappointing, soft (supposedly fried) chicken tenders and tasteless Margaritas, I checked out. While I was driving, I started to wonder why my bill was so high. When I looked at the bill. I saw that I was charged regular price for the chicken and charged for premium Margaritas. Of course, I circled back around and put the establishment on notice. After looking at the receipt, I was first asked why I didn't tell them earlier? Then I was asked if I was actually dining during happy hour? Then I was asked if the chicken was on the menu...at this point, I was getting a little perturbed and informed them that the items and corresponding price are on THEIR menu, so they should know; the bartender tells me, things change on the menu all the time. What the...then you should keep up is my thought! Finally, the Margaritas...he said, "oh, I charged you for the premium..." "but that's not what I asked for Sir", I replied. Nevermind!!! Just adjust my bill, which took a minute. Oh yeah, there's an automatic 20% tip... at the bar or dining, for 1 or many, regardless of service. Now I see why this is imposed! Needless to say, the Supper Park Club, was my Last Supper...there! read more

Stumbled across this establishment one random night after leaving a hair appointment. I wanted food but received so much more. I immediately was sat at the bar (Friday night it was pretty packed). I started with a vodka cocktail, wings and a flatbread pizza. Everything was GREAT!!! Service was attentive and quick. Came back for a Sunday brunch...Let me tell you...they did not disappoint. Food drinks and service. Music the first time was a live pianist next time was a DJ. Both held their own for the vive of the night. Check them out if you haven't. read more

Always a nice crowd. Happy Hour portions are substantial and delicious! The drinks were good and the DJ age appropriate.

There's a 20% gratuity added to all bills, regardless of service, number of guest being served and quality of food. The bartender was very dishonest. I paid with cash and he (Jamaican accent) didn't give me back the correct change. After bringing it to his attention he said, "I didn't have any change." I politely requested all of my money and he said, " I'll get it. It wasn't for me, it goes to the bar. I don't need your money." I can't imagine how m at people this may have happened to. The food was ok but I'm was totally displeased with the customer service. read more

Great crowd on the night I attended. However, I was quite disappointed with service seeing I made reservations 2-weeks out. Upon arrival I was told there was a private party and all reservations had been cancelled for the evening! After much conversation I was allowed to come in and order with the understanding that I would have a limited menu and, limited timeframe. The food was ok - nothing to "write home about!" As I sat eating I realized one or more legs on the sofa had broken off. Instead of removing and/or blocking off the sofa to prevent injury or further damage - they just left it there with people rocking as they attempted to sit down‍. I really wanted to forget my experience at this place but; they had the audacity to email me about their upcoming bunch. I WONT! read more

Great atmosphere and food. Nice portions and very flavorful. Bottomless mimosas were good as well and always a nice touch for brunch.

I can't even give a single star. This place is the text book reason it's difficult to support BLACK BUSINESSES. I am active bruncher all around Chicago and I have never had the experience i had here. The food was horrible, the service was lackluster, and management was so unorganized. The music was blah but my group is always lit. Park had the audacity to try to record us for their publicity of that reckless Resturant. They can't spell LOUSIANA SOUTHERN COMFORT FOOD read more

I visited the restaurant yesterday for Sunday brunch with friends and we truly enjoyed ourselves. The restaurant was very clean, the service was GREAT (from Kiersten and Maurice) and the food was AMAZING! The DJ kept the chill vibe going the entire time but it was live enough for other people to get a little two step in. I strongly recommend this place!!!! Make sure you have the bottomless mimosas and the gumbo :) This is definitely a hidden gem the world needs to know about. read more

The Park Bar & Grill - Gumbo and homemade cornbread.....amazing!!!! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I went to the Park Supper Club for Mother's Day Brunch. It was amazing! It was a 5 course meal prix fixed menu. Everything was delicious. The food was flavorful. The soup was a little spicy but hearty. I ordered the steak and it was slightly over cooked. They offered to correct it but it was not a huge deal. I had a yummy peach cobbler cupcake with delicious coffee. I had two raspberry lemon drop martinis and they were excellent. Also, they offered an unlimited mimosa option. They had a pianist who was playing and it really kinda had a romantic feel. The customer service was impeccable. Upon my exit, I was given a single rose. My entire experience was awesome. This is a Black owned business owned by the same owners as M Lounge and Persona. Make a reservation and enjoy this wonderful experience! read more

I'm not the first to review but I'll take a hit for this one. This is from the owner's of M Lounge and Persona and this is upscale. I started out with the house made Hummus w/ Pita, Margherita Flatbread, the Salad and then ended off with the Burger w/ Fries. I thought the flatbread was overpriced but it was excellent along with the fries. read more

There is a good vibe in this space, such a good vibe. From the live music, open space and good food, this is a place you should check out. This place is a nice addition to the neighborhood. It is within walking distance of a lot. When you walk in, you're greeted with warmth. The service staff was attentive and friendly. The service was slightly slow (however they noted this, so it was expected). Our sever was on point. It appears that perhaps the kitchen is a little further away from the dining room, so that may be a slight issue. Now the food, delicious. We ordered the Cajun seafood pasta - it is spicy, but the good heat. It had a kick that set it and stopped for a little while and then moved on!! Lol. Sometimes things are "hot" for no reason. This was a great balance of spice (heat). We had our sons with us and they ordered the sliders and the pasta. Both were as advertised. The butter noodles are just that, so not much you can do there. It was fine. The sliders were very good. It was a nice burger, elevated enough to make it work getting a burger at a nice spot. Very delicious and juicy too. Sometimes sliders can be dried out, these were not. Finally, I ordered the lamb - GREAT decision! I tend to order my lamb at medium because sometimes lamb is either over cooked or too under for my taste. I ordered medium and slightly below. They came back medium and it was perfect. Very, delicious. Seasoned well and the cook was spot on! I had to fight my son for the last one!!! The mushroom risotto was very good as well. I was very pleased with my personal meal and then my family's choice as well. Now, the one knock...sorry y'all...the cupcake that we had for dessert was not to the level of the meal we had just expected more. It felt like it had been frozen and not completely thawed or heated. So, only knock. We will return and you should too. Oh, the drinks were good too! read more

Excellent music and atmosphere! DJ was on point! Servers are friendly and attentive. Definitely coming back to try more specialty drinks at the bar! read more

Absolutely the worst place. We have been here for 2 hours and have yet to receive food. We originally had a reservation for 1:45pm and had to wait for 20 minutes to be seated. At 3:22pm, they are still cooking our food. The signs posted says 2 hour seating limit- well we are beyond that point and still don't have any food. This has been a terrible experience. read more

Service as horrible. Got there at 1 pm. Place was not crowded but had a new server (no no excuse ) Didn't get our food until 2:30. Luckily my group had cupcakes so I had to eat one before I went to low (diabetic) Fish was good but shrimp n grits had no seasoning on them. Never again. Thanks but no thanks read more

So refreshing to have a north side feel on the south side. Great food, good drinks, quality service & the aesthetic was well worth the visit.

Wow, wow, wow. Food is amazing! Atmosphere is just right for sophisticated dining and drinks.

We had a horrible experience here. Our reservations were at 7:30p. By 9pm we had no received any bread or the food we ordered. The wait staff kept making excuses and apologizing but they kept letting in more and more people, even though they couldn't serve the people that were there. No one checked on us. We had to keep flagging the wait staff down and no one had looked into our order. I would not recommend this place at all. read more

Went to the grand opening last night. What an incredible, much needed addition to the neighborhood. Really cool vibe. We had the crab cakes and Shrimp appetizer. They were fantastic. Lots of flavor. The shrimp was spicy, just the way I like it. I had the Brick Chicken with mashed potatoes and Brussel sprouts. It was cooked to perfection. I will definitely be coming back to try other items on the menu. The cajun shrimp pasta looked incredible! Well done! read more

My mother, husband, cousin and I visited the 4th Sunday in January after church. The service was very pleasant, though they were short staffed at the time. The food was delicious! The DJ played a variety of music, including gospel. The restaurant is not very large, so it is best to make reservations. My only suggestion is to turn the music down a bit, as it is difficult to have conversations with your table mates. read more

Came here for the first time. I wanted to be impressed but there was so much going on that I couldn't get the vibe. This is not a place for larger parties. We had a party of 5. Our food was room temperature(including the eggs), I tried the tequila sunset it was ok but that was the only drink I ordered. They have a 2 hour limit on tables but pretty much everyone that was there before we came was there when we left. And our stay was at least 2 1/2 hours bcuz they didn't have their staff(the owner said). Overall I think this is a spot for 2 people per party. Go as early as you can you insure that you don't have to wait forever to be seated read more

I recently had a wonderful dinner there to celebrate a friend's birthday. The server was friendly and nice. Drinks were good and dinner was very well prepared and tasty.
