“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️❤️ 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.“

“This is one of my favorite vegan restaurants. My top 3 are the lotus bowl, the vegan hamburger, and the collard green gumbo!“

“Wait time was a little long, a little pricey but let me tell you it is all worth the wait and the price. Very delicious presentation is on point. Everything is seasoned well golden crispy catfish golden crispy chicken wings amazing pasta with shrimp and also love the Mac customer service was outstanding very friendly. Love the TikTok’s“

“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.“

“Friendly employees, pleasant atmosphere and clean comfortable establishment.“

“I can’t believe this place has been open all of this time and it’s my first time trying them out. Needless to say, it will NOT be the last. It’s extremely hard to find good soul food in the burbs, and I’m happy that I finally gave them a try. I had the individual meal, which comes with one meat & 2 sides and a cornbread muffin. I chose the fried wings (came with 4) and greens and Mac & cheese. Everything was delicious!! The wings were perfectly golden brown and fried just right. Crispy but still moist and delicious — not overly seasoned either, just right! (No feathers!! I can trust whoever is in that kitchen!) The sides were also good!! I asked for an additional side of yams to try but I wasn’t charged for that so I’ll just have to speak louder for that next time lol. You can tell there are a mix of cheeses used in the Mac (especially if you’re a cook yourself) and they work together in all of the best ways. Sometimes people make greens too acidic or too vinegar-ish… but not here! When I say everything was perfect, I mean it. There was a small wait (maybe 10 min) but it was hot and fresh, so I’ll take that any time. The cornbread muffins were delicious and moist.. not TOO sweet either. Lastly, the service — very pleasant all around. I went through the drive thru and was still greeted / treated with a smile. I LOVE that a soul food restaurant finally offers a drive thru!! Thank you for this lol — especially because parking is kind of limited with all of the other businesses right in that strip. I will have to try the fish and meatloaf next time, as well as maybe the cake! Overall 10/10 and I will go again.“

“Food was fantastic ... Good service ... DEFINITELY WILL BE GOING BACK ..“

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

“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“

“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....“

“Kisha's Kitchen is absolutely amazing!!! ❤️ Not only is her food BEYOND delicious, her catering service is dependable, professional and top notch! My guests were pleased. Don't hesitate to book her services, you won't be disappointed.“

“She has the best soul-food that I have ever tasted in my entire life. Everything was cooked to perfection. Every bite was so savory, satisfying, appetizing, delectable, scrumptious, mouth-watering & internally fulfilling. I couldn't even share my food with anyone else. #WrightwoodElementary is the school that she catered food for.? ?❤️???? “

“Enjoy the total experience“

“I love this place my co workers and I often have lunch here … the chicken Philly is awesome the loaded potatoes are ????? The soul food is is delicious …“

“Waitress Wednesday was very attentive. KUDOS to her. Food was delicious. Lot to chose from on the MENU.“

“I used to work for her at Genos her food was so good like everything! Every time I worked I ordered me that blackened Cajun tilapia with a side of Mac you can't go wrong with anything on her menu!“

“The food was amazing. I really enjoyed every bite. Love the service and the concept. Their whole family is in there getting it. I love it.“

“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!“

“I met my cousins there from out of town and the food was delicious!!! I ordered salmon crockets, rice, scrambled eggs and toast. I finished every bite. The service was great. We didn’t even notice how long it took for the food to come out because we were catching up. I arrived late but my food arrived shortly after my guests. So we were able to dine together. The owner Felicia came out and greeted us. We were very pleased with the food and service.“

“I ordered a Half Slab of Baby Back Ribs, 1/2 lb of Beef Brisket (burnt ends), and a small side of Mac and Cheese. The portions of meat were generous and well-seasoned, generously coated in BBQ sauce, making them quite delicious. However, the Mac and Cheese did not meet expectations and needs improvement. I was taken aback by the restaurant's size; it was quite small. As someone in a wheelchair, I had difficulty making a 360-degree turn due to the narrow waiting area. Despite this, the atmosphere was pleasant, filled with the enticing aroma of BBQ, and the chef was friendly and laid-back. Overall, I recommend Medley's BBQ and plan to return to try their Turkey Tips and Fried Chicken Skins.“

“This is a Resturant that knows what soul food really tastes like. The dressing , Mac n cheese, turkey , black eyed peas remind me of the aromas and deliciousness of my grandmothers kitchen . Ms Vee is personable and a joy to speak with!s Dee keep cooking this amazing food ! I will be back😀 Blessings, Dr. Robin Burns“

“The staff was very friendly and professional and the atmosphere was a great vibe. Definitely one to let loose and relax with no judgement. I went on karaoke Saturday and had a blast. I do not live near by, but will be back when I’m in town and need to let my hair down. The owner Ms. Kesha came by and introduce herself and has a great personality, very open and inviting.“

“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 🌟“

“Love Candy’s Place… whenever i want to listen to some good music, eat some food and just have a good time…. i know we’re to go.“

“Forget the girl at Burger King...Noriah ( I hope I am saying her name correctly) at Lawrence's in CC Hills, Illinois should get the soul food employee of the year! She handled about 8-10 customers taking orders, cooking food, chopping up rib tips, slicing cake, grilling fish, boxing food...plus more! I was so impressed! She was AMAZING! I will be back for those rib tips soon! Thank you so much for your wonderful service! 😀“
