SPECTACULAR EXPERIENCE - BRONZEVILLE SOUL IN CHICAGO!!…read more Bronzeville Soul Food in Chicago is absolutely AMAZING! I ordered the salmon, macaroni and cheese, yams, and fried green tomatoes, and everything was spectacular! The food was seasoned so well, and you could truly taste the love that went into preparing the meal. Everything was delicious and flavorful! The restaurant was very clean, and the staff were friendly, welcoming, and professional. I also really appreciated the free beverage they generously gave my sister and me. That thoughtful gesture made an already wonderful dining experience even more special. I highly recommend Bronzeville Soul Food to anyone who loves delicious soul food, great service, and genuine hospitality. We will definitely be back!

I came here with some of my trainees after a field trip to the Science and Industry museum. There were 12 adults and we spent about $300, which wasn't bad considering your meal comes with two sides and cornbread. I ordered the baked turkey wings with collard greens and white rice. It was so delicious! I couldn't eat it all because the portions were huge! A lot of my trainees needed to-go bags because it was so much food in those containers. The peach cobbler is amazing too! Not too peachy and not too much breading--a perfect combination. The chef was grateful for us coming in and talked to us too! The host was a sweet man and hooked some of my trainees with some sweet tea on the house. Just beautiful people bringing delicious food to Bronzeville.

I considered the salmon pasta or jerk bowl and went with the jerk since the salmon pasta looked mostly pasta with some salmon pieces scattered about. The jerk bowl was disappointing. Before i ordered i saw that the ingredients looked prepackaged (canned beans, store pico & corn.) Even the sauce was poured directly from a bottle, but decided to support the business anyway since everything around the office is fast food or a sit down restaurant. I hate to report that the taste matched the look of the individual ingredients -- very bland. Not worth $16 at all

The staff is incredibly friendly but move quickly to serve. We ordered the Queen T's Submarine which was very good and a nice sub sandwich. We also split the That's Not Yo Cheese Jerk nachos which topped with jerk chicken - it stole the show and I would happily order this everyday if I could. The Red Pineapple Squirt is a refreshing drink that complimented all the flavors of the nachos and sandwich. Cook It Mama Cafe is an underrated restaurant that should not be overlooked. Check it out when in Bridgeport!

It wasn't bad, but it was just okay and didn't live up to the rest of the meal. If the chicken had been as good as the sides, this easily would have been a 5-star experience. The service was good overall. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive, but she never asked if we wanted anything to drink besides water or if we'd like dessert. Those small details would have made the experience even better. Overall, I'd definitely come back for the amazing sides, and hopefully the fried chicken is better next time.

I said fried chicken, mac n cheese and greens. She said ok we have that. My spouse said she wanted meat loaf, mac n cheese and string beans.

Thank you Pearls. My food was amazing everything was seasoned well except my greens. Would I go back yes indeed. The bread pudding was the busy.

What a fantastic place to eat. We went on a Friday night and had a wonderful meal. The staff was…read moreattentive and everyone was very friendly. The star of the show, however, is the food. We started with the biscuits and pimento cheese. This isn't your grocery store variety of pimento cheese. It's a mix of sharp cheese and peppery pimento that pairs perfectly with the biscuits, that have a sweet honey coating. Next was the perfect gumbo. Spicy and full of chicken and Andouille sausage, it's some of the best I've had, outside of New Orleans. We shared the half chicken and spare ribs. The chicken was perfect, along with squash, green beans and tiny tomatoes. I absolutely loved the tender spare ribs. This place just screams love. They food is all about the love of family gathered around the table. The whole feel is about family. From the cozy seating, to the music in the background! 10/10!

It was definitely worth the money. But if you share the meal experience you have to also buy an entree (fyi). The waitress was nice and patient. Even though we had a reservation it took a while to be seated when there were open tables but there were only two waitress for the restaurant. The food takes a minute to come out after being ordered (45 mins) but it was piping hot and fresh. The ambiance was nice. They were playing old school Luther so it was vibe. Bc this food was so good , I'll give it a 5 but if you go be patient. It'll be worth the wait

To cap it off, my son was able to meet the proprietor, Mr. Fears. My Wife and I have added this to our "Hey kids, we will be right back!" list. Keep Making It Happen! Best, D. Hills

Best to order via UberEats as to avoid a wait until my 2nd visit Went during lunch and my pickup wasnt ready. They said 10 more minutes. They started fighting in the kitchen.

Mac N Cheese was given for both sides on the wing plate when spaghetti and macNcheese was ordered. Either way, it was salty. Peach cobbler too sweet. Blue koolaid was a win 1st visit but this time...

Spice level was on par with Jamaica jerk & it wasn't spicy at all. Jerk chicken egg roll definitely needs the accompanying sauce because it's dry as hell. Price level was decent. Fries were terrible with no seasoning at all. I doubt I'd return. Price point is the most appealing aspect.
