Soul Food Restaurants near Hillside, IL

“Happen to be in the area from Fort Worth, Texas where] soul food restaurants don't really exist] for our 60th Family Reunion up in Hillside, IL and the food was good, had a great taste, the gravy was a 10/10 and the fried ribs and the greens were 10/10, the gravy and rice 10/10 and the Mac and Cheese was 8/10, other than that, the food was 10/10 on portions, and if I ever come back to the area I would come back!!!!“

“Tried this place for the 1st time today and I have to say it was pretty decent. I got the sunday fried chicken with Mac n cheese, corn, yams, fried green maters, and a peach cobbler for desert. Food was very flavorful, chicken was juicy and easy to chew, and my maters really hit the spot. I would recommend this place for sure, its probably even better in the restaurant. Also, I had to actually blow on my food it was still that hot 👍👍👍👍“

“Layover at O'Hare was long enough to get a quick bite for lunch before a 4 1/2 flight to LAX. I ordered an Italian Beef sandwich. My expectations were not high, but I was happily surprised by the sandwich. The meat was tender, the bun was soft, peppers and onions were properly sauteed and the hot pickled vegetables had a nice kick. Service was as expected at an airport fast food place, but the food was good and fairly priced. Definitely worth a try. The included spicy BBQ chips were very good too!“

“I love this restaurant!! Perfect place to go to sample many Polish favorites, or to have a group meal (shower, birthday party, family gathering etc.) in the semi-private back room. All the food is really fresh and well prepared, just like Grandma used to make at home. It Is a buffet, so there are many choices to please every taste level. Desserts are in small portions, which I find very thoughtful, so you can sample more than one item without over doing it. You can also prepare a to-go box of favorites to take home, for an additional 'per pound' charge. The wait staff is welcoming, kind and efficient as well. Adult beverages of cocktails, wine and beer are available, in addition to coffee, tea, milk, and sodas. I enjoy 6-7 visits per year, and am never disappointed.“

“Great place to invest in your health & a great tasting meal. I’m a regular now.“

“My Fraternity Brother Anthony Williams and partner Byron Diggs when not bringing great joy as a part of the Our Lady of Our Lady of Africa Parish, Chicago Eucharistic Ensemble have a great Cafe in Maywood right off of I 290. It is called Meal of the Day and has some great southern cuisine in an establishment on the 4th floor of a business complex overlooking I 290. It is appointed with some great art from notable black artists . There is also a banner from Hales Franciscan Class of 1979 , not sure what that’ s all about .. lol! They also do on site catering and have fed the masses after masses at their home church . Check them out ! My fraternity brother has been telling me for years to make the drive and wifey and I finally did and it was so worth it ! .“
