Soul Food Restaurants in Springfield, IL

“It gets busy for a reason!!
Top level soul food, diner style atmosphere, very friendly vibe from staff.
Yummmmmmm 🤩
It's a favorite when I have the time. If you don't have 45+ minutes to wait and eat there, there are some items in their hot case ready to go, so you can do take out. You can also preorder online :)“

“As a small business owner, I love trying new local spots — and Aunt Lou’s absolutely did not disappoint. It was so delicious and had that sweet nostalgia of the days when you’d buy a plate from a friend and sit around the table way too long. We ordered the fried chicken breast dinners with cabbage, mashed potatoes & brown gravy, plus red beans and rice with cornbread on the side. We also tried the fried deviled eggs (these SURPRISED us — and we immediately wished we’d ordered more!) and the Chicago-style wings — breaded, tossed, all flats. So freakin’ good. We’ll definitely be back. If you’ve been looking for your next local comfort and soul food fix, this is the place!“
