Soul Food Restaurants near Plainfield, IL

“The History on Wheels hosted its annual Juneteeth celebration at the Joliet Area Historical Museum on Wednesday, June 19, 2024. We used Mama Sarah's Kitchen for catering and the food did not disappoint! Chef Arron Sain has magical hands!! We had fried chicken, fried catfish, baked salmon, collard greens, baked macaroni & cheese and cornbread. For dessert we has cheesecake, pound cake and banana pudding. Everything was so flavorful and delicious. My mouth waters as I think about the food. So many compliments from our guests about how the food was. Truly outstanding!! Thank you Chef Arron for your amazing service and delicious food! We will be having Mama Sarah's again!“

“Ordered the pork chops with bean greens and cornbread, and just from the first look and smell I can already tell this is going to be something special. Everything looks fresh, well-seasoned, and made with real care. The pork chops are cooked beautifully and the greens have that rich, slow-cooked flavor you expect from true soul food. The cornbread ties it all together perfectly.

Places like this remind you what comfort food is supposed to taste like. You can tell there’s heart behind the cooking here. If you’re in Joliet and want real soul food that feels homemade and satisfying, this spot is definitely worth stopping by.“

“I recently used the catering services for a repast and let me tell you.. The beef short ribs was fall off the bone tender!!! the greens and mac and cheese was superb. and that Fried Chicken BAAABY!! she sprinkled some serious SOUL in this food.. I'm mad that I didnt take pictures because, my husband and I barely made it out of the parking lot before we grabbed some chicken out of the pan.. FANTASTIC :)“
