I went to Bronzeville Soul with a couple of lady friends of mine. I parked on the street and it was about 5:00 PM on a Tuesday. The food was pretty good although the menu wasn’t that great. It was limited in my opinion.

I had the short ribs with cabbage and macaroni and cheese and I got a catfish dinner with corn and candied sweet potatoes To take home. All meals come with two sides and a corn muffin. All of the food was quite spicy in my opinion. I’m a little older than most of the customers and older people have sensitive pallets. So, it might not be spicy to others, but it was certainly spicy to me. The macaroni and cheese had red pepper in it I believe, because it was spicy, too. The cabbage was spicy. The sweet potatoes were so-so, because I think he might have used corn syrup in the sweet potatoes. I cook, so I’m a harsh critic. The catfish was delicious, because I talked to the owner and he rinsed the catfish before he fried it, so it wasn’t so spicy. All of the entrees were generous. I don’t know if he always does this, but he gave me three whole fillets of catfish. There were a lot of short ribs, but they were cut very thin. The fried corn had green peppers and onions in it, but, it was pretty good and it was not spicy, because it was sweet corn. All of the food comes in to go containers. They don’t give you plates or silverware, you get plastic forks, and the food comes in plastic containers. Another thing, he was running out of everything! He didn’t have any dessert, no peach cobbler and we had to wait 30 minutes on the short ribs and we went at 5:00 PM. I can understand though. He doesn’t want to throw away food as expensive as everything is now.

The manager/owner was very nice and the food was good overall. Without the spice, the food is delicious.
