- DRDiana RhodesJun 21, 20265.0I will be coming again! The staff is polite and kind. The food made a good day into a great day. I ordered the sunday special with sweet potatoes on impulse before really reading the menu fully and this turned out to be an excellent decision.
- TTTia TaylorJun 20, 20264.0Food was very good. Mac was Cheesy, Yams were Yamming. However the portion size was off for the main course. If I’m paying $30 for a salmon plate with two sides, I expect the meat to be better portioned. I would definitely visit again but we could get better bang for our buck.
- DMDarryl MillerJun 19, 20265.0I haven't been home Chicago in a minute, I was wanting some soul food I came across this Gem.. If you from Texas make stop by and say hello to Desiree... Tell her Darryl sent ya..
- ARAshley RoweJun 19, 20265.0AMAZINGGG FOOD, desiree had took my order over the phone and handed it to me in person. The best costumer device i’ve ever experienced, best soul food i had in chicago ever. Genuinely cannot recommend this place enough i wanna come back here!!!
- VSVasheldia StephensJun 15, 20261.0Take longer than what they tell you. And the small potion of food is ridiculous, 30 dollars for salmon dinner and you only give me two bites is crazy work! Maybe you have to dine in to get what I was expecting. Customer service was lovely tho. Do better with them prices
