Best Southern American Restaurants in Calumet Heights

Virtue's food is superb and their servers always know the menu backwards and forward and can explain any things you ask about. The servers are prompt and service is great. It has been a wonderful experience every time we have been to Virtue and this time was the same. Great Southern cuisine!

We enjoyed our experience and food and looking forward to going back. We went for a birthday brunch with the family on Saturday afternoon. This was our first time dining at Nafsi. I believe this was the third week of the restaurant being opened for brunch. There was a djj setting a very nice vibe. Dominique was our waitress, and she was very attentive and pleasant. Overall, no complaints about the food, we had the shrimp and grits, the lavender/poppyseed waffles and chicken, and biscuits. Everything was good. Would totally recommend for brunch. 

What a lovely experience! It was my first time there, and it exceeded any expectations I had. We enjoyed the fried green tomato BLT as an appetizer; I ordered shrimp and grits; my husband ordered the short ribs. Both were divine! Flavorful and presented beautifully. The service was excellent. Our server was attentive and most pleasant. He didn’t miss a beat. Two different managers came to our table to introduce themselves and check on our experience. They even treated us to a banana pudding cheesecake. That was above and beyond. We left feeling totally content. The food was delish and the service utterly delightful. We can’t wait to try the Yard Bird location in Miami, where we live.

This is such a great place to eat at all the workers are so nice including the manger I really enjoy the guy that work at the bar this is a very nice laid back place

Always a pleasures to come and enjoy one of my favorite spots to visit in downtown Chicago. A bit pricy, but delicious is the name of the game and that’s what keeps brining me back. See you again soon!
