    The brunch is outstanding! The venue warm, modern decor, and welcoming, with an outstanding staff!!!!

    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).

    Not my neighborhood and place of Hangout... went for a work networking event . People had a good time the food and drinks but I didn't have any .

    The cornbread was reminiscent of my childhood. Probably the best thing I ate that day.

    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

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Shrimp and grits

    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

    Gumbo and homemade cornbread.....amazing!!!!
    Tinisha B.

    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.

It is also conveniently located on the same block as two of his other spots. I have been twice now and had a great experience each time. I am especially glad they did away with the reservation deposit. It makes planning a visit much easier. Most recently, I stopped by for their all day Sunday happy hour, which was a great vibe. They have expanded the food menu since my first visit, and everything I tried was solid. The empanada was my favorite, the quesabirria was really good, and the chicken torta was delicious. On my first visit, I only had the guacamole, which I also enjoyed. The decor is beautiful and intimate, creating a great atmosphere, and the music is always on point.

The yolk didn't have a strong mustard base, but it was still good. The saltiness of the capers would have been a bit much on them. My ex ordered the catfish with collard greens and a side of slaw. I must admit that they scored high for the crust in terms of crunchiness and flavor. The greens could have used a little more seasoning. I am no fan of slaw, so I cannot speak to how it tasted. I ordered the pot roast and jalapeno grits. You can have shrimp and grits. Give me pot roast and jalapeno grits any day. The pot roast was tender and the grits were creamy without being runny. Dawn AM Eatery packs out fast. The website recommends making reservations. Because we were playing by ear, we went as a walk-in and had a 30-minute wait. It was well worth the wait, from service to good eating. Next time we will make a reservation. Note: I was so in the moment that I didn't photograph our other dishes.

    Good Food, but the Customer Service Was Unacceptable…read more My family and I ate at Dawn's Eateries on Saturday morning, August 8, 2026, and unfortunately, our experience was extremely disappointing. From the moment we checked in, we were met with an unpleasant attitude at the hostess area. Thankfully, our waitress initially greeted us warmly, and the food itself was good. However, the customer service issues quickly overshadowed the meal. We ordered a coffee and a latte but were brought two coffees instead. After waiting approximately 20 minutes to have the issue corrected, our server explained that she would get the manager because the situation was out of her control. Unfortunately, the manager's response made the experience even worse. Instead of approaching our table professionally and trying to resolve a simple issue, she came across as rude, dismissive, condescending, and argumentative. My Uncle attempted to explain what had happened, but rather than listening and acknowledging our concerns, her demeanor felt very defensive and unprofessional. Eventually, we simply wanted to make sure the correct drink was made. As the manager of an establishment, I would expect someone to de-escalate a situation, listen to the customer, and find a reasonable solution not make customers feel as though they are the problem for bringing an issue to their attention. The food was good, but when you are paying good money to dine somewhere, you expect both good food AND good service. Unfortunately, we only received one of those. Lastly, the restroom situation was also surprising. The restaurant does not appear to have its own dedicated restroom for customers. We were given a key and/or instructed to go knock on a separate restroom door, which was inconvenient and not what we expected from the overall dining experience. I really wanted to enjoy Dawn's Eateries, especially because the food was good, but the attitude and lack of professionalism we experienced particularly from management left a very negative impression. Good food can bring customers through the door, but great customer service is what makes them want to return. Unfortunately, based on this experience, we would not return.
