Best Southern American Restaurants in Grant Park

We celebrated my fiancé’s birthday at Poor Calvin’s and we couldn’t have chosen a better restaurant for this milestone! The food was amazing, and the staff was smiling, energetic, and positive, which added to the ambience of Poor Calvin’s. And, our server, Lena, provided the best service EVER! My fiancé had the grouper and I had the grass-fed lamb chops with a lobster tail. You cannot go wrong with either of these dishes!

Moe was our waitress. She was attentive and courteous. It was our first visit and we will definitely return again.

My experience was very nice and elegant. I would come back and invite friends.

Autumn was absolutely amazing. She was busy and it was New Years Day, but that didn't stop her. She was kind, patient and extremely pleasant.

Overall experience was good. We were seated quickly & greeted quickly. The music selections—hip hip & r&b—were on point & the music wasn’t so loud you couldn’t hear yourself think. My food was yummy (I had the seafood omelet), but friend’s food seemed as if it could have been seasoned better & perhaps a bit warmer. The hostess (Zeta) did an excellent job of “managing 1st impressions” & our server was friendly & relatively attentive, for the most part.
