6978 Soul Food: Taste the Heart of Chicago's Comfort Cuisine

Great soul food and amazing service. I would recommend this place if you're in the mood for Soul Food.

I attended a AARP caring seminar there on June 5, 2024 the soul food service was delicious.

The restaurant has a great vibe. Service was quick & very friendly. I had the smothered chicken w mac/cheese & dressing, all were good, but not special in my opinion.

The restaurant is somewhat dark inside but they had The Little Mermaid cartoon on which was interesting. The service was good, friendly and prompt. We tried the baked chicken, jerk chicken and smothered pork chop. The seasoning was all very tasty but the baked chicken was a little dry. I loved the macaroni and cheese best. The green beans and greens were just okay. My husband loved the black eyed peas.

Father-in-law found this spot on Groupon and recommended it to us. On a Friday night, no one wants to cook. We decided to go out and try this spot. We like Soul Food but don't often pay to have it. Quite frankly, I know how to cook Soul Food so I don't wanna pay for it. One of the those things were you like it a certain way. Boy am I glad that we tried this restaurant out. This food hit the spot on a cold Chicago night. For food we got pork chops and fried chicken. Those Smoothered Pork Chops were perfect. The gravy, the onions and the pepper were just 5/5 stars. Husband grabbed White Meat Chicken. He enjoyed his chicken. I tried some of it and it was okay. Would prefer more seasoning on the chicken skin. Sides were all delicious. I throughly enjoyed the mac & cheese, greens and dressing. My husband got the spaghetti and that was good too. Spaghetti reminded me of the bbq shack Spaghetti. That hits too on some white bread. Anyway...got side tracked. I would order my meal again. Cornbread needs some work. Drinks and service were good. Also super props for having a side of cranberry sauce (the canned kind), lol to go with my dressing. Dessert was an added plus, peach cobbler was delicious. Banana pudding was good but they used imitation banana pudding and would prefer just vanilla versus the imitation bannana pudding. All in all, local spot with good food. Covid19 precautions taken and enforcing vaccine mandates. Support local businesses. No regrets here. I am going to give this a 3.5 stars. Not quite 4 stars but I enjoyed my meal.

New spot fir me. Greeted nicely by the family. Food was ready when we got there cuz it was originally ordered for takeout. Once we got here. Decided to sit down in the restaurant. Service was very good. Pleasant servers. My gurl ordered all sides....corn, lima beans, greens, mash potatoes. All good food. I ordered chicken with Mac n cheese and lime beans. Along with their peach cobbler. I will say their cobbler was one of the better ones we've had in a while. The chicken was good. The Mac reminded me of old school Mac. Overall, very good and I will be back
