Soul Food Restaurants near South Holland, IL

“Omg, this food was AMAZING! I’ll admit, I was a little nervous walking in because the lobby wasn’t very appealing—but don’t let that fool you. I got the 2-meat, 2-sides dinner, and wow! The meatloaf was tender and flavorful with rich brown gravy. The chicken thigh was juicy, and the chicken gravy was perfectly seasoned.
Now, that dressing—tasted like homemade stuffing, but I like stuffing if it’s cooked right and it was cooked perfectly! The sweet potatoes had just the right amount of sweetness. Honestly, this place has quickly made it to the top of my list of favorite spots to try again .
Try them for yourself—you won’t be disappointed!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️❤️ Amazing Experience at The Soul Food Lounge! Best Soul Food Spot! TopTier Dining Bliss! Decadent & Delightful! Unforgettable thank you Southside location: Hale Ave! Phenomenal Food & Service“

“Family friendly restaurant. I had the half chicken dressing, greens. Chicken was not hot, and it was in a warmer, greens was okay, dressing was good, and everybody knows, cranberry sauce goes with dressing, the cup, was so small (1/2 teaspoon) extra one is quarter (they don't tell you when ask for it). pet peeve with restaurants stingy with condiments, food not being hot.Try it for yourself.“

“Great Food! Also, a very friendly staff.“

“Friendly employees, pleasant atmosphere and clean comfortable establishment.“

“It's definitely worth all of the hype there was a line outside the door 20 minutes before they opened. I had the turkey chops with garlic mashed potatoes. It also came with 2 sided, which were good but not as good as the main dish. I also had the house special cornbread.“

“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’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.“

“My wife and I finally decided to try this establishment a few days ago when went about 20 minutes after they opened hoping to get fresh food. When we arrived no one was up front but after a couple of minutes a very nice young’s lady came out and took our orders. We both played it safe and got the four wings with two sides. After about 20 minutes our food was ready and the young lady brought it out to our car. When we got home and started on the food, the sweet potatoes and Mac & cheese were both excellent. When we ate the chicken we were surprised that it was seasoned very well. We will definitely return again to try the Sunday meals. The only changes that I would focus on is turning down the music and we thought that the prices were on the high side. We paid close to $50.00 for two meals. They don’t or any sauce with the meals which we think they should. Any place selling soul food should know that hot and mild sauce should always come with the meals and the option of paying for sauces were not an option per the menu. We do recommend this place and hope they stay in business for a long time.“

“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! 😀“

Everything came out the kitchen fresh and hot. The food smelled delicious and looked delicious. me and my friends did the happy 😊 dance all afternoon. 5 out of 5 🌟“

“The staff was very friendly and professional and the atmosphere was a great vibe. Definitely one to let loose and relax with no judgement. I went on karaoke Saturday and had a blast. I do not live near by, but will be back when I’m in town and need to let my hair down. The owner Ms. Kesha came by and introduce herself and has a great personality, very open and inviting.“
