Soul Food Restaurants near North Chicago, IL

“Wow—just wow! The food here was absolutely amazing! We had the jerk chicken, curry chicken, collard greens, mac & cheese, and stuffing—and every single dish was bursting with flavor.

The curry chicken was so juicy and rich, with deep, decadent flavors that truly stood out. The collard greens had the perfect hint of smoky goodness, and the jerk chicken? Perfectly cooked—not dry at all—and it reminded my husband of the authentic flavors we had in Jamaica!

We drove about 40 minutes to try this place, and it was 100% worth the trip. The staff was so kind and helpful, guiding us through the menu since it was our first time. They made sure we got to try the best—and they absolutely delivered. The music choice this evening was perfect volume and great genre.
The atmosphere is “mom and pop” so if you’re looking for candle light dining this is not the place but we were looking for spectacular food not ambience.

Next time, I’m definitely trying the oxtail. We’ll definitely be back, and I’m wishing this spot all the success in the world. Highly recommend!“
