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.

“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.“

“Rib Tips are 🔥. Owners were pretty cool. I’ll definitely go back. 10/10“

“One of the all time best in Chicago and knowing the owner is big on my list“

“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.“

“I was looking through there menu items and it was really big potions besides that I really like their Kool-aid drink. I will be coming back to No Cobbs for more food“

“The food was sooo good. It's like you cooking in your own personal kitchen. It's not restaurant food. It's definitely soul food. I would recommend to everyone i know before I would recommend any other soul food. Please the customer service is great. Thank you again Ms April.?❤️❤️“

“As a busy Wife, Mother and Chicagoland Realtor I am always looking to take a step back from my kitchen and enjoy a good restaurant experience.

If you’re looking for a top-notch spot in Chicago that perfectly blends comfort, flavor, and hospitality, To Be Served is a must-visit! From the moment we walked in, the owner and staff made us feel like family. My son and I enjoyed a feast that left us absolutely satisfied – the pancakes were fluffy and flavorful, and the soul food was nothing short of amazing. To top it all off, we indulged in some irresistible sweets that made our meal complete. The warm atmosphere, exceptional service, and delicious dishes make To Be Served a gem we’ll return to again and again.

Highly recommend!

“Do NOT EVER COME TO THIS ESTABLISHMENT. My family and I came here after I purchased a Groupon voucher for a two person all you can eat. Total was 50.14 which was no problem. The problem came in when the owner, Keith Lewis, told my husband and I that we cannot use the voucher on the same day that we purchased it. It seemed very off because I've never heard or read anything like that before. Since we were there we decided to stay and pay their price of 63.76 for two adults. We looked up the voucher again and seen there was no such policy. When asking the owner for a refund and telling him and one of his employees, Tay, about the policy not being there, he states that it was "supposed to be in there" and I would have to get a refund from Groupon. My husband and I explained to the owner that it cannot be our fault for something that the merchant aka the owner of Dusties should be monitoring and is responsible for, to which he had no reply. The employee Tay, sides with the owner (of course) and tells us we ate there, trying to imply because we ate that we cannot get our money back, WRONG. So, basically he lied about being able to use the voucher and double charged us. We did not leave and demanded money back, in which they decided to call the police. When the police arrived my husband and I told him what happened and my husband and the officer stepped away to talk. During their conversation, the owner THEN decides to refund me my money back. This was a straight up scam and it was done to many people before because the owner stated that he tells that to everyone as far as them not being able to use the Groupon voucher the same day it was purchased, which is a LIE because he ended up wanted me to pull up the voucher so that it can be redeemed after he refunded me my money. This place only had good greens, mac n cheese, banana pudding and smothered chicken. The fried chicken was hard as if they put out leftovers and the cornbread. Do not waste your time or money here its not worth it.“

“Went to maybe replace my Annual Thanksgiving meal for me and my son. The smell in that place was so revolting and nauseating ..I was dry heaving trying to read the menu. Dont know what grease they were using to cook with..but its a Never Again for me!! As i quickly made my exit. So 0 stars!“

“The food was excellent left me happier than gay boy with a truck load of ?“

“Awesome service great food and I will travel back from Indiana to Chicago to eat at medley restaurant ANYTIME!“

“Food was amazing. A bit pricey,but Good.“

“completely fresh . awesome staff . delicious food . Jimmy's best earns it's name“

“This is a hidden gem! I can say I love the ambiance of the restaurant. For all the “ vegetarians” “pescatarians” this is a go to! I did enjoy their vegan buffalo chicken egg rolls and jerk salmon egg rolls were “muah”. The creole vegan chicken omg tastes just like chicken. As for the sides the jambalaya was “ok” Caesar salad could have been better in taste and presentation. I did have the house sangria which was good. Mashed potatoes were a bit salty and could have been better with taste and presentation. Service was “ok” but the time of the food being prepared was a 100% I will definitely order take out or go back I give them a 4 out 5. Just keep in mind the space is really small but great atmosphere!!“

“Delicious food 😋 I will be back.“

“Geno's be CRACKING! The DJ was LIT! The outdoor patio is perfect for cigar smokers and party events .
The outdoor patio is spacious and has a TV for sports fans. The food is deliciously, great, and beautiful women are everywhere.

Parking: Gino's stays packed. Finding parking can be a little hassle.“
