Soul Food Restaurants near Maywood, IL

“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 ! .“

“UPDATE: A few months later, I returned good still good and order correct. The kitchen closes as 2:20 tho despite the website.Ordered sandwiches for my birthday and for that day. Both orders were incorrect. I called to confirm the birthday order and that was still incorrect. Food was good tho.“

“Excellent service. The guys who worked there were friendly and accommodating. However, I was disappointed to hear that the chicken po'boy was no longer available. The chicken options were underwhelming, with only wings and tenders available, and no sandwich alternatives. Having said that, the chicken was spicy and the fries were flavorful.“

“We got in and were seated immediately for our reservation. The food didn't take long to come out at all and it was delicious! Our waitress was very nice and she attended to us well. The owner came over and talked for a minute and stopped back to check on us when the food came out. The music isn't too loud and every song was a good song. It's a really nice place. I don't like public bathrooms but theirs was clean and smelled so good! We'll definitely be back when we go back to Chicago.“
