“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.“

“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.? ?❤️???? “

“Stopped in tonight first time...really enjoyed it. Great food, nice clean seating area. We will be back.“

“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....“

“I can truly appreciate great food, great service, and a great environment. That is what you will find at Ruby's.“

“Y’all have to come try Keisha’s new Lobster Mac & Cheese, 1000/10! Everything was seasoned to perfection! Overall, great food, good vibes, a nice atmosphere, and a live DJ! If you’re looking for somewhere to go, I highly recommend this spot!“

“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! 😀“
