Soul Food Restaurants near Calumet City, IL

“Absolutely the best food and customer service on the south suburbs. I had a party of 11. We sat down at a table immediately, the waitress took our drink order and then food order. Everything came out the kitchen fresh and hot. The food smelled delicious and looked delicious. me and my friends did the happy 😊 dance all afternoon. 5 out of 5 🌟“

“"I had high hopes for D.A's Corned Beef, but my experience at the Calumet location was terrible. The sandwich was awful—the meat was way too thick, and they heated it so much that my Swiss cheese turned into a disgusting, glue-like mess. It looked more like mayonnaise than melted cheese. I traveled all the way from Indianapolis to try this place, and now I regret it. I couldn't even finish my meal—I felt sick and ended up throwing the sandwich in the trash. I will never waste my money here again."“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️❤️ Amazing Experience at The Soul Food Lounge! Best Soul Food Spot! TopTier Dining Bliss! Decadent & Delightful! Unforgettable thank you Southside location: Hale Ave! Phenomenal Food & Service“

“Family friendly restaurant. I had the half chicken dressing, greens. Chicken was not hot, and it was in a warmer, greens was okay, dressing was good, and everybody knows, cranberry sauce goes with dressing, the cup, was so small (1/2 teaspoon) extra one is quarter (they don't tell you when ask for it). pet peeve with restaurants stingy with condiments, food not being hot.Try it for yourself.“

“A group of us traveled from out of town to this establishment and we were excited about trying the food. We heard great things about the food, but we were thrown off by the person taking our orders. The gentleman was very snarky in his demeanor. There is another saying I would like to use, but for this review, I will refrain from that language. Although there was a group of us, the gentleman immediately interrupted one of my friends as she was about to place her order. In his sassiness, he made a comment to the fact of “I don’t need a bunch of phone numbers and one payment is acceptable.” We were confused by his statement! The gentleman was under the assumption that since we all came together, our order was one big order. One of our friends had to tell him, “just because we walked in together, don’t assume it’s one order!” My friend further explained that everyone would be placing their own separate order. The gentleman’s initial attitude had us all saying that we would not return. Another friend inquired about desserts and his response was something to the fact “we make enough money on the food!” Well, okay, sir!

Lastly, we all agreed the food was good! Customer service could’ve been better. In addition, if you’re charging me for cornbread, include it in my order. I should not have to check my order. Get it right the first time with all the attitude we received! Please get signage so that people know if they’re supporting the correct business!“

“For our first family reunion we wanted to have rib tips and grilled wings to start our function off right. Kelly’s Soul Kitchen was professional and efficient! The food was great and our food was delivered right on time. I highly recommend Kelly’s Soul Kitchen for any and every event!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Definitely a must try ...well a add to rotation of places to frequent. Went on a Friday night and the owner came out to tell us about a few items/ samples. Not only was the turkey tips tender and flavorful, the sides were definitely a costar. Greens and Mac were 10/10. Oh and let's not forget about the cornbread, chef's kiss. Next trip I make that way , the pizza selection will be a next try and I'm pretty sure I won't be disappointed.“

“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.“

“I would like to rate this restaurant with 2 stars. The customer service was great. I traveled from Holland, Michigan in search of a good soul food restaurant. I won't go into detail, but I will mention some areas for improvement. The catfish was delicious. The sweet potato had a nice flavor. The Mac N Cheese was tasty. However, the potato salad could use some improvement. The greens tasted like they came from a can and had a lot of stems.“

“First time eating at Blossom Potatoes...let me tell y'all it did not disappoint!!! The owner was nice! The Food was EXCEPTIONAL! Service was on Point!!! The Atmosphere is Clean and Friendly!!! If you have not been here make your way to 21st Avenue and Clark Road for some GOOD GRUB and Get Your GRUB ON!!! You will not be disappointed 4r4r!!! Bout to go back for seconds:)!!!“

“We have been passing this place for like 7 plus years and just thought it was a coffee shop but today we decided to stop in and OMG I had the fish and he had the fish sandwich the best good and hot fresh and made to order and the employees were very nice and friendly the prices were right....“

“My wife and I finally decided to try this establishment a few days ago when went about 20 minutes after they opened hoping to get fresh food. When we arrived no one was up front but after a couple of minutes a very nice young’s lady came out and took our orders. We both played it safe and got the four wings with two sides. After about 20 minutes our food was ready and the young lady brought it out to our car. When we got home and started on the food, the sweet potatoes and Mac & cheese were both excellent. When we ate the chicken we were surprised that it was seasoned very well. We will definitely return again to try the Sunday meals. The only changes that I would focus on is turning down the music and we thought that the prices were on the high side. We paid close to $50.00 for two meals. They don’t or any sauce with the meals which we think they should. Any place selling soul food should know that hot and mild sauce should always come with the meals and the option of paying for sauces were not an option per the menu. We do recommend this place and hope they stay in business for a long time.“

“yesterday was my first time there and everything was fresh hot and good 👍😊“

“Omg, this food was AMAZING! I’ll admit, I was a little nervous walking in because the lobby wasn’t very appealing—but don’t let that fool you. I got the 2-meat, 2-sides dinner, and wow! The meatloaf was tender and flavorful with rich brown gravy. The chicken thigh was juicy, and the chicken gravy was perfectly seasoned.
Now, that dressing—tasted like homemade stuffing, but I like stuffing if it’s cooked right and it was cooked perfectly! The sweet potatoes had just the right amount of sweetness. Honestly, this place has quickly made it to the top of my list of favorite spots to try again .
Try them for yourself—you won’t be disappointed!“
