    Pleasantly surprised but they do not have desserts on the delivery menus and they look so good. I also haven't tried the "Soul Food Sunday" menu, but it looks devine. The breakfast was delicious, service acceptable and the establishment clear but ordinary. I will both dine in again, and Order for delivery. Nice place.

    Walked over in hopes of grabbing a late breakfast/brunch while getting some work done. Was given a breakfast menu, which I perused in anticipation for 10 minutes before being told they were no longer serving lunch. Also, the AC is out so I'm melting at the counter. Ok. The server slides over the lunch menu. I order the fried chicken special. Greens, mac 'n cheese, bird fried hard--all that. And I wait. And wait. As I'm waiting, the server asks me if ordered meatloaf. Then she asks if I ordered fish. Eventually she returns with my correct order and when I see it, boooooy. I've included a photo for reference. I received a lightly fried chicken fillet and while the sides were proportionate (I only put a portion of them on the plate) this was not worth the $33.05 I was charged. Oh, and that muffin? Dry and tasteless. Now, I understand that every business has its off days and that there are things beyond their control (like the lack of AC) but this entire experience has left a less than pleasant taste in my mouth. Not sure I'll be returning.

    We came for the breakfast but there was an issue in the kitchen. We ended up getting the soulfood special they run on Sundays. The food was delicious. My mom said this may be her new breakfast spot.

    Happy to have a neighborhood diner back. The food and service is fast. No wait time and lots of space for big parties.

    Ordered catfish and grits, the catfish was soggy and had no flavor and the grits were really thick with no flavor.

    Some friends and I visited Chicago recently and were looking for restaurants to have dinner. When I…read moresaw that Virtue was Black owned and operated, I made a reservation. I'm glad that I did. We were greeted upon arrival, and seated shortly thereafter. Our server, David came over and spoke to us about the menu selections. We were extremely satisfied with his service. I was truly impressed with Lou, who I assume was operating in a managerial capacity. He went from table to table checking in with the guests to find out if anything was needed. He removed plates of finished food from tables, and even explained the desert options to us. Well done. The food was delicious! I usually have to add salt to my food. I did not have to add anything here. The food was perfectly seasoned. We all enjoyed our choices. I would highly recommend this restaurant without hesitation.

    Incredible food! It's quite busy, so definitely have a reservation. They're pretty attentive, it's…read morea cute space, and the food is memorable. Fish and grit flavor was so tasty and unique. Short ribs cooked to perfection. Cornbread and Mac and cheese were delicious. Had leftovers to enjoy the next day! Kinda a miss, but the blueberry cobbler doesn't come with ice cream, which i 100% think is necessary. You'll have to ask for it (and they'll charge for it). Next time would try the banana pudding! Would come back!
