- DDouglasVIPChicago / Illinois •26 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoFood quality and choices are exceptional. Everything was unique with tons of flavor. The Gumbo, short rib, pork steak and mac and cheese are all divine. The service was mostly reasonable. The staff are all exceptionally nice but our drinks came after our food, we had to ask multiple times for refills. We ordered family style, which was great, but the food arrived and we had no individual plates to serve the food and had to flag someone down to get them. Overall I highly recommend it but for the price I would expect better attention to detail from the staff. I will go back because the food is that good!More infoVirtuePrice: Expensive• Southern• Hyde Park•4.9
- LLaDonnaVIPChicago / Illinois •53 reviews5.0Dined on Dec 7, 2024Everything we had was amazing. The lamb chops were seasoned perfectly. The greens, creamed corn, and yams were some of the best I have ever tasted. The fried chicken was crispy and juicy on the inside. The best soul food meal I have had out in a while. Service was great too!More infoSoulé to SouléPrice: Moderate• Soul food• West Town•4.4
