“The food was truly outstanding (Short Rib Tacos, Cornbread Muffins, Collard Green Dip). Wanda (server) was an absolute highlight of the visit. My wife and I got to talk to the head chef/owner on the way out, and it was 100% clear how important it is to her to create a wonderful experience with even better food. And they 1000% delivered.“
“The service was amazing! Ms O is a sweetheart! The food did not disappoint. It was hot, fresh and delicious! I savored every bite. The wait staff was kind and friendly. The owner, Bridget, was very warm and friendly. The restaurant is very clean and beautiful. I will definitely return!“
“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‼️“
“I’ve been wanting to try it for so long and I’m glad I was finally able to. I ordered a custom sandwich with jerk chicken, pepper Jack, spinach, and cucumbers. Super flavorful! Next time I think I’ll try the salmon panini. It’s nice to have a jerk spot in the neighborhood.“
“Everything was fantastic. The food choices, the staff, and the guests were all on point. My dad saw some old buddies in there that had played hoops with him 50 yrs ago. They had not seen each other since that time until we all bumped into each ither at Pearl's Place. This made the visit that much sweeter. Thank you Staff of Pearl's Place.“
“Omg when I say me and my kids just killed the samples marko let us try I had to go back in and order fye fye fye food was so delicious and great customer service too don’t hesitate to eat here I promise you will not be disappointed and reasonable prices too!!!!“
“We order fried mushrooms, falafel, and bbq cauliflower for starters. We ordered tacos, jerk tofu bowl, sloppy joe, and falafel burger. Everything was well seasoned and balanced. Generous portions. 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.“
“I went for my 44th birthday and everything was wonderful the food A+ and The service was delightful I would definitely be back….. We sat in and when I say we all enjoyed woke up the next day talking about themGo check them out 5 stars from meThanks again“
“OMG this place is good!!! Found this recommendation off of TikTok. I had the pot roast, mac & cheese, yams, and cabbage. Wow! Don’t judge the place from the outside, (or even the inside,) but the food is phenomenal. The owner is the nicest person on the planet. As a no-spice, white bread eating white guy from the northside, I wasn’t too sure if I was gonna like the jerk, but it was good ! I will definitely be back!“
“This afternoon I wanted to try some Vegan food. I've tasted Vegan food before, but that was before my Vegan/Vegetarian journey. Today I got the Jerk Jack Taco dinner for me and my husband and the Vegan mac and cheese and it was so good. I just wish they delivered to Maywood. It looks like I'll be traveling to get my Vegan food.“
“I recommend to people looking for Good Soul food, the seasoning are put in well, meats are very soft and tender. It's worth itKid-friendliness: The staff greeted you right away as soon as you enter the door, that's good hospitalityIt's my first time going to BROWN'S.Going back again to try other dishes. The food are Cook well no more seasoning needed, cooked to perfection.. THANKS CHEF... Connie Meaux“
“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.“
“I almost don't want to write a review because it's my hidden, cool spot! This is an amazing location, especially when it's warm and you can sit outside, to get some incredible food (this is some of the best barbeque you've ever had - no exaggeration, and I'm notoriously critical about food things) and enjoy feeling like you're in nature without having to leave the city.Give Soul and Smoke some love and all the dollars. But make sure Rockwell on the River doesn't get too crowded now that I've shared my secret. Deal?* Also I totally crave their BBQ enough that I'll trek over here just for takeout too.Parking: You can usually park really close by on the street. At most I've parked about half a block away.“
“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.“
“We drove from Wisconsin just to eat at this place and will do it again. The food was amazing, everything was fresh because it was being consumed so fast, the empty plates were removed from the table right away, other buffets will let the plates pile up, make your way to this place, it is a cash only “
“Friendly as soon as u hit the dr til u leave. Granny's peach cbblr was on fire, the green's, mac & tea wr gd. Short rib's came rt off bone & tasted gr8, but thr was no gravy!??♂️ Cn't w8 til I'm back n twn 2visit.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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!“
“As an event producer for a large organization, I am often looking for businesses that are local and I especially love to focus on businesses that are owned and operated by historically-excluded people groups. Two Sisters is woman- and black-owned and more than that, Chef Veah is a dream to work with! Not only putting together a delicious menu which had all my guests asking who the caterer was, but also helping make the set up just right alongside me. Veah enhanced our event in many ways and I am looking forward to working with them again! (p.s. no matter what you do, get the pound cake - trust me! Next time I'll order an extra whole cake just for me... no joke...)“
“I visited Truth Ribz Restaurant on Saturday 5/27/2023 The food was good&they give you plenty of food &The Customer Service was greatI will return soon .The perch fish is Good &Chicken I’ve eaten there a few times before for the ribs. They Never disappoint .Thank you. Continue Blessings❤️“
“I don't know how they ended up there but there's always a bunch of soul vegan options at my local bodega. All of them are good, but I'd sell my left foot for a lifetime supply of the Chik'n salad wrap. All offerings are good, but that wrap is amazing.“
“I absolutely LOVE this place. They have a keto friendly side of their menu as well as soul food and fast food, hence the name Splyt N Half. They offer detox teas and a option for personalized healthy meal plans after a one on one consultation. This place is so much more than just a restaurant. It is a whole health wellness eatery. The food is absolutely delectable. Everything that I've had so far has been delicious and did not disappoint. I highly recommend this place.Dietary restrictions: They offer keto friendly foods, vegetarian options, as well as personalized meal options.“
“Ordered from here through doordash. I had never heard of this place but had a taste for some soul food. I had been let down by some many restaurants in my area but this food was delicious. Chicken was fresh & seasoned well & macaroni was sooo good!“
“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.“
“Small restaurant, seems like mostly takeout. I had the fried catfish dinner, came with 3 sides, corn bread and a dessert. I chose potato salad, spicy cabbage, mac and cheese and banana pudding. All of it was fantastic, great portions and prices.“
“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.“
“A really nice family runs this place. Haven't experimented much with the Cajun aspect, but the curries are great. Great portion size and flavor and selection. The prices are a bit steep but getting to know and *getting to know* the people it goes towards helps.“
“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“
“Awe I love this place it also has an outdoor patio it's never crowded and he puts a lot of food on your plate I love the beef short ribs and the prices are very reasonable parking is ok but you can also park on the Northside of the building it's also BYOB and the patio is for rent and it also has a VIP section. My friend had her birthday party there and it was a blast I highly recommend this establishment And the owner John makes you feel like family“
“My guy and I dined there last night and I can only say that every aspect of this visit was, on a scale from 1 to 5, a 10. Atmosphere, service, cleanliness, promptly being seated AND served with a reservation, courteous waitstaff, and last but not least...every dish we tasted was superbly plated and tasted amazing. We had the restaurant week special with 3 entrees. We chose the pot roast, blackened salmon w/creamed spinach, honey chicken with fried pound cake, short ribs /mashed potatoes, shrimp n grits. Well done! We will be coming back!“
