Soul Food Restaurants near Burnham, IL

“I ordered the shrimp and grits off of their great Groupon deals that they’ve been offering it was a little bland, and as you can see it was a lot of grease in it. I kept trying to eat it and eat it and just ignore it but I was just way too greasy. You can see the grease on top of the grits. Don’t think I’ll finish this dish. I’ll be in clogged up my arteries.“

“OMG!!! This place is the bomb, the inside of the restaurant is gorgeous, the customer service is phenomenal and the food is fantastic. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for some delicious soul food. I love the dressing, baked chicken, sweet potatoes and muffins. The portions are good, I had enough left over to take some home for a late night snack. Our hostess Ms. Lyn has outstanding service she made sure that my glass was full at all times and that I had everything that I needed. Her smile can light up a room, keep doing a great job and we will see you again very soon. If you have not been here RUUUUUUN‼️“

Amazing flavors and great quality. Nice ambiance, helpful staff, amazing cook and owner. Best of all? Completely kind to all Earthlings <3We will be back!“

“You must try the vegan pizza. The worst part of becoming vegan was giving up cheese. I've tried vegan pizza at many places and did not like any of them until trying the vegan pizza at Soul Veg City. They also sale it by the slice. My favorite slices are the veggie, the plain cheese and the jalapeño and olive.“

“The food here is so good worth every dollar. I ordered the creamy garlic salmon and spinach over rice, and baked Mac n cheese, and greens with corn bread. The food is full of flavor and they are not stingy with the food. I had to go back for more greens so good. I will definitely be back. Melanie was so professional and kind. Girl you really got some talent food is amazing. Go support our people you will definitely be satisfied.“

“A southside soul food staple that has been in the Chatham neighborhood for a long while now. Lots of love goes into the food, portions are hearty and the rotation menu served is flavorful. Stopped in with a friend on Friday (Restaurant is only open Fri, Sat, and Sunday til 6pm everyday). We were greeted by a nice lil lady @ the door which directed us on how to order and pay. She then seated us after we got our food. I had a great lunch. Smothered Pork chops were so delicious. Black eyed peas and rice had that soul up in it. My only complaint was that the okra side could've had a lil bit longer in the pot. Everything else from the service to the food was fantastic. The decor is a bit dated tho but I'm fine with it. Thumbs up to this place and kudos to the staff for the experience.Vegetarian options: Sides??‍♂️. Nothing else is really vegetarian.Dietary restrictions: Soul food. U might get the Itis.Parking: The lot is small. Only big enuff for maybe 8 to 10 cars. U may have to pay to park. And yes, they do get busy.Kid-friendliness: There's space to move around BUT this place isn't a playground. It's a restaurant. Be mindful.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes.“

“30-35 & OLDER LOUNGE!! Very lively and fun!!! Remember to call or ask about the certain events for each day of the week (they do have a certain dress code on certain days). GO EARLY!!!! The earlier the better because it can get crowded in the lounge. Food can also be bought here too while having a drink. I enjoy myself here everytime, so this is a nice place to try❤️“

“I’m a recent transplant from NC and sent my husband here because we are in the middle of moving and the last thing I wanted to do was cook. This food was AMAZING! I had the fish, Mac and cheese, collards, stuffing. The best fried fish I HAVE EVER HAD. It tasted home-made. Everything was fresh and good and I’d have taken a picture but I was too busy stuffing my face! My husband said the lady behind the counter was super sweet and offered suggestions and he (who does not eat fish!) ate half my fish!! The portions are HUGE for the price and I will be returning. Tomorrow probably.“

“THIS IS THE BEST SOULFOOD AND CUSTOMER SERVICE IN THE REGION. THE GREENS ARE SUPURB. MAC-N-CHEESE AND SWEET POTATOES ARE DEEEEEELICIOUS. CHICKEN, FISH AND JOHNNY CAKES ARE O.M.G AWESOME! NOT EEEEEEVER GOING BACK TO….......WHAT’S THE NAME OF THAT PLACE WHERE YOU’RE CHARGED HIGH PRICES AND RECEIVE TERRIBLE ATTITUDE FROM THE YOUNG LADIES AT THE FRONT COUNTER. THEN, YOU STAND IN LINE UNTIL 3PM OUTSIDE IN THE COLD TO PICK UP YOUR CHRISTMAS CATERING ORDER THAT WAS SUPPOSE TO BE READY AT 12:30PM……..STARTS WITH A P.“

“So before i called, i called to make sure there wasn’t a wait. I’ve been here before and the line is usually out the door. Once she told me no wait I got supper excited and came. Once i got here i literally had to wait an hour just to be seated. Then another hour for food. Something needs to change with the way they have guest waiting!“

“I ordered several meals and each was very good. They were a bit too salty but I ate it. Turkey with dressing is delicious. The fried pork chops were too crisp, the smothered pork chops were ok and the baked chicken was great. The sides: Thebeans were tender but salty.Macaroni was dry but tasty.Sweet potatoes were good.Rice was good.Corn bread was thick but dry.Cornbread Dressing was excellent.Called in my order. 25 minute with no wait.The prices have increased. There is no place to sit. Call in/Take out only.“

“Me and my wife's 1st time trying this was a little disappointing ..the person behind the counter was not considerate of this being our 1st time. We had questions about the products that are offered and were responded with little no help. The atmosphere was great, and the food was really flavorful. Since this was our first time. We decided to try a different variety of items. We order two chicken wing dinners(including 2 sides), 2 gummies, 2 cookies, 2 beverages, and a bag of chips. You can add hemp to your sauces and beverages. Which is an added bonus. As far as the edibles and the beverages. Since I have a high tolerance, I ordered the highest level that they had to offer. With that being said, occasional cannabis users will most definitely feel the edible gummies, chips, banana pudding, and cookies. They all have great flavor, but I would definitely suggest this for people with low tolerance. Overall, the total was $116. There was a mistake with my order, but the owner came to the rescue and made it right. Even though there were pros and cons, I would most definitely come back again.“

“I enjoyed my experience at Jean’s Soul Food Cafe on Mother’s Day with my mother. She loved her grits and omelet. I loved the fried pork chops, hash browns & over medium eggs. I will be returning. Sheba was great, her energy was amazing.“

“Now even though this place has changed from back then the heart and good food is still there. I really feel like people take the new ownership for granted. We could've had someone new and try to change the whole establishment with new food and staff. But they still tried and cater to all of us. The prices are way too cheap it's almost criminal. The food is wonderful for the amount you're paying. If people don't like change then stop coming. But appreciate for what it is and what it's tryna stay to be for what we had back then.“

“food is delicious. Service is quick in person. ambience is peaceful. any food delivery issues they usually call and let you know if things are out of stock compared to other places that just won't tell you I love that courtesy. i feel like this food is made with love! you ever had happy memories of eating food your family made you as a kid? comforting right? i reckon this place to everyone!!! my fav is the lamb and greens and mac and cheese and butternut squash and the lamb burger sorry I could go on“

“I've been ordering for some months now. My absolute fav is the catfish Fillets, always fried perfectly & tasty yum. My better half likes the Cabbage & Pork Chops. You must have a slice of Lemon Cake snd they don't skimp on the slice.“

“Very friendly and I was greeted as soon as I walked in. Food was delicious 1/2 Henny chicken, green beans & potatoes, and macaroni & cheese) and seasoned perfectly, except for the bed of rice that the 1/2 Henny chicken was served on. I will return, but I'll ask for extra Henny sauce on the chicken. I am particular about macaroni & cheese, and this was perfect. Black-owned establishment as well.“

“I love Kisha’s Kitchen! Definitely the best food on the south side! The hot honey catfish has become my favorite with crack and cheese and yams with collard greens and cornbread better than some cakes,But the chicken, green beans and everything else on the menu is ???. I rate her 25 “
