- CcheirVIPNew York City •26 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoAriel was a great server. Overall we loved the soul rolls. fried pickles, fried fish/chicken/shrimp platter, the turkey tips and links, greens, mac n cheese, and baked beans. The drinks were great too the only complaint would be our grilled 1/2 bbq chicken was very dry.More infoWilma's Famous BBQ & TavernPrice: Moderate• Barbecue• River North (Chicago)•4.2

- KKenVIPChicago / Illinois •39 reviews4.0Dined on Dec 15, 2024Service was good this time. They need consistency. Never know what you’re going to get. Food was very good. Cornbread needs work and the short ribs were less than lukewarm warm. Probably sitting waiting on fried chicken as that was piping hot.More infoJordyn’s Soul Cafe - Hyde ParkPrice: Moderate• Soul food• Hyde Park•3.9

- LLaDonnaVIPChicago / Illinois •52 reviews5.0Dined on Dec 7, 2024Everything we had was amazing. The lamb chops were seasoned perfectly. The greens, creamed corn, and yams were some of the best I have ever tasted. The fried chicken was crispy and juicy on the inside. The best soul food meal I have had out in a while. Service was great too!More infoSoulé to SouléPrice: Moderate• Soul food• West Town•4.5
