Doughboy's Chicago — Restaurant in Hyde Park Township

I try to find the positive in everything. First, the customer service was awesome. Friendly staff. Even though they forgot my salad, the service was a positive experience.

Food-my spaghetti was VERY dry and lacked meat. The flavor was fine, just dry. I’m not use to dry spaghetti. I also didn’t order veggie spaghetti. The catfish was not catfish. It was Swai. I grew up on catfish steaks, fillets and nuggets and that’s was not catfish. I am disappointed they advertise catfish..The nuggets are cut up Swai filets. The fish and fries also lacked flavor. None! The fries were soggy. I realize I didn’t eat them hot. I requested they be cooked hard for this reason. The jive nacho dip was not the best and again lacked meat. The nacho chips were TOO salty.

Outside-I realize we are still in a pandemic. However, it’s 26 degrees in Chicago and you can’t enter the restaurant. A table is blocking the entrance. You either go back to your car, or wait outside. The neighborhood is not the best, or savory.

I hope these things change. I read other reviews. The food was too salty for many people. Where’s the middle ground? I drove 1 hour one way for the food.

Maybe, it was an off day? I was not impressed; however, keep the positive attitudes. Make improvements with the...

So my partner and I are food reviewers and we purposely went into this establishment without telling them that we review food as a profession because we wanted to get the food that they served to the public And not “influencers”. Here’s my review: the red beans with rice and the macaroni tasted like they were from yesterday, the fried chicken was dry and overcooked, the greens were fresh but lacking seasoning, the “catfish” was Swai and there was more breading than fish, the herbal wings were OK, the spaghedough was good, the cornbread was a bit dry but very good, the sour cream cake was very good as well, and the Judy juice was a 10 out of 10🔥 they took over an hour to give me my jerk salad after previously telling me that it would take 20 minutes— the salad had a lot of chicken, which was great but no other ingredients other than peppers and lettuce🥲 no cheese, no boiled egg, no cucumber to balance out the spice. Overall experience, 6 out of 10 would not recommend. We drove a total of a 2 1/2 hours for food that was subpar—this food was not worth $73 but the customer service was GREAT! They deserved the 20% tip that I left for their...

This was my first time coming here. I found them because they were close to where I live. I got the #2 combo: 2 catfish fillets, spaghetti, a side salad, and roll. The catfish and spaghetti was good. I liked how it came with a salad instead of a typical fry. You actually get decent sides. The only issue was that my roll had mold on it. I was very disappointed because I had already took a lil piece off of it. It had green on the roll. So even tho the food was good, having the moldy bread in with my food turned my stomach. I don’t know if someone is checking the freshness of the food but after seeing mold the food wasn’t as good as it was before and it was a constant reminder of why I just stay at the crib and cook. It’s thought I would treat myself and then it’s moldy bread in the same box with my food. Had high hopes as they fish and spaghetti was good. But disappointed about the...
