I have been to this restaurant at least 5 times and hope to see them continue to improve and thrive, so that when things are back to normal, I can visit more often. My only issue as has been stated by others is that they run out of desserts too quickly and it is my hope that since they know these items are very popular, they adjust the amount they prepare or maybe limit the amount sold to one person so that more people have a chance to buy. I also think that as creative as they are with their cuisine, there is room to expand their dessert offerings- cakes, pies, cobblers, tiramisu, cheesecake, sweet potato pie, cinnamon rolls. My other comment is in response to the recent episode of ChgoFoodToGo, where it showed the restaurant had delivery. Imagine my excitement when I saw that only to find there is no delivery according to the Google listing, where there is an "x" for delivery. I don't consider GrubHub or those other delivery services desirable, safe or reliable for accountability and will never use them, but if you ever hire in house delivery persons where their services will be held directly accountable by your restaurant, I am totally in and will be doing business with you more often. Right now, during this cold snap would be a wonderful reason to have REAL delivery people and continue to get locally supported. I'd love to be...

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing authentic Chicago food on the run, and let me tell you, it was like a taste of home. Every bite reminded me of the delicious meals my own grandma used to cook with love and care.

The flavors were simply incredible. every dish had that unmistakable taste of authenticity. The ingredients were fresh, the spices perfectly balanced, and the attention to detail evident in every bite. It was clear that the chefs behind this food knew their craft and had mastered the art of capturing the true essence of Chicago cuisine.

What impressed me the most was how well the food traveled.

The portion sizes were generous, just like grandma used to make. Each dish was filling and satisfying, providing a true taste of Chicago's hearty culinary tradition. It's a rare find to encounter food that is both authentic and convenient for those with a busy lifestyle.

From start to finish, the experience was delightful. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the service was prompt. They truly understood the importance of customer satisfaction and made me feel valued as a customer.

If you're craving genuine Chicago food that tastes like grandma cooked it herself, I highly recommend giving this place a try. It's a culinary journey that will transport you to the comforting flavors of home, even when you're...

This food was good! Mac & Cheese - unbelievably great! Omg! Don't skip on that mac! Redpotatoes - good, I love red potatoes, so that can never go wrong for me. -Sweet potatoes - exceptional 👏🏾 the texture was on point, and so was the Sweetness. -Greens- delicious! Well seasoned with a hint of spice! -corn muffin - slightly dry, but no one cares about a muffin. Just dip it in the greens 😋 -stuffed chicken with garlic butter sauce I felt the flavors were definitely there, but the chicken breast was slightly dry. Just a little! However, that might not be a fair judge because white meat is usually on the dry side. That's the only reason I couldn't give a five-star. The restaurant was very clean and esthetically pleasing. The lady taking orders was so nice. I'll definitely visit again.

July 20, 2024 Review: I placed an online order for smothered wings with potatoes and broccoli. In addition I ordered a lemon pepper salmon with potatoes and broccoli. We added a slice of sweet potato pie for dessert. I spent $50 for this meal and everything, but the salmon filet was good, my husband received2 oarty wings for his smothered chicken and the sides had a filmy/soapy taste to it. It is unfortunate because I have been a supporter of this establishment since they opened. The sweet potatoe pie looked like vomit or feces. I did not even gamble trying to taste the pie. I do not have to visit again. My rating went from 4 stars in 2022 (see below) to 1 star in 2024. 2 years ago, 2022: Great meals are prepared by this hidden neighborhood gem.
