This meal was definitely made with love The fish was fried to perfection--golden brown with that perfect crispy bite. The sweet potatoes were rich and flavorful, the mac & cheese was top-tier, and the cabbage? Off the chain! And let me not forget the cornbread... soft, warm, and everything it needed to be. On top of that, the portions were PERFECT and everything was fresh! If you haven't ordered from them yet, you are seriously missing out! read more

There was a glitch with my on line pick up order but when I arrived and the problem was found it was corrected professionally and efficiently. The food was amazing , I only wish they had a location in the south suburbs but I will travel for the BEST... read more

My husband and I were given a warm greeting when we came in. Everything I ate and what i snatched off my husband's plate was amazing. The place was very clean and everyone was friendly. Looking forward to going again read more

This was meant to be. Just stopped in today! Great customer service! I just had oral surgery and need to eat soft foods. I was on Cicero a few blocks north and decided to find a would food place. I literally just wanted green beans and mashed potatoes. So this review is only on the sides. I had: Garlic mashed potatoes - delicious Greens - delicious! Green beans - good with a lemon twist of flavor not what I expected but they were good Macaroni and Cheese - ok Cabbage - delicious!! I will be back to try the dressing and gravy and get seconds on the cabbage. Highly recommend... read more

I've been to this place twice. I'm a great cook, but this place is comparable to my own soul food cooking. I've only gone on Sunday's, so be prepared to wait 15 minutes for your order. There was a huge church group dining in and my order took way longer to be ready than my first visit. The food is prepared already, but I had to wait for my fried chicken to get cooked. It would be smoother if they time stamped the receipt so your order doesn't get pushed back with orders after yours is placed. read more

I raved about, and told everyone who would listen about how much I love this place. But my most recent encounter changed that. I ordered a delivery on 05/29/26 for 05/30/26 to be delivered after church. I was so looking forward to the his wonderful feast. On the day of delivery the order was 1/2 hour late no sweat, but when the order arrived part of the order was missing. I ordered Pork chops,collard greens, and Mac/cheese. The collard greens were missing. I was quite upset, and call Passion eats,instead of calmly taking care of the situation they tried to blame the delivery driver, and everyone else. I told them the driver wasn't responsible for the missing side. They became very angry,and insulting,l asked to speak to a manager,guest what she was the manager. I have patronized this place pretty often, and have always been pleased with the food. The food I got on this occasion was even below par. What happened? I just know the quality was off this time, and I was treated terribly. I decide I will no longer patronize this place that doesn't seem to value its loyal customer,I got elsewhere where I'm appreciated read more

Stop playing with me when you hungry go here and on Sundays go here early cause once the church folks get out it's a wrap. Great soul, food, friendly staff great Kool-Aid. The southside soul food go to a spot. read more

Sometimes service is a little slow, but overall food is always pretty consistently good at both locations. I wish they had better hours and a real area to sit and eat like in a full restaurant on the westside location. I love their food. Passion Eats reminds me of my mother's cooking. I would love it, if PE operated seven days a week! read more

Service is great! Food is top notch! Planning a future event and the director is organized, patient, personable, and accommodating! The packages offered are affordable! read more

Very satisfied with my catered plate. My Father-in-law booked this place for my Grandma's 90th Birthday dinner. For food we got: Chicken (baked and fried), Fish, Mac & Cheese, Dressing, Greens, Sweet Potatoes and lastly cornbread. Really satisfied with the food. I thoroughly enjoyed all the sides. The dressing was just right!!! Fried chicken was crisp. The fried fish was okay but it may have been better, if served hot off the oil. I would recommend this place. All the food was good. read more

Passion Eats Catering - Catered plate for my Grams 90th Birthday dinner - Caterers Near Me - Oak Lawn, Illinois

Food is delicious. taste like homemade. I always enjoy the food. I had catfish, greens, and yams. delicious!!!

PassionEats is located within a strip mall off a very busy street. There is plenty of off street parking, so no need to worry about where to park. This was my first time dining at PassionEats. I dined with 13 friends in a private room inside the restaurant. I was there on a Sunday afternoon, and let me tell you it was non-stop busy. I ordered the 3 piece fried white chicken, with collard greens and mac and cheese as my side dishes. I also odered the bananna pudding as my dessert. The food was good. For as busy as this restaurant was, the service was great. read more

Our family came here spontaneously after a funeral, and the staff was able to accommodate 20+ people on very short notice. They did an amazing job. Super patient, super kind. And the food was so sooo good. Of course with 20+ people we got to try a wider range of what was offered, and we were pleased. The Mac and yams were amazing, the greens melted in my mouth ,the cabbage was seasoned to perfection. Pork chop was tender, all the fried options were dropped fresh. Just a great experience overall, no complaints. And the manager showed us so much love. Will be back! read more

I'm not sure how I feel about my experience. I immediately felt like the sides were pre-made at home and brought in. The Dressing definitely gets a zero. the corn bread was burnt and it didn't mold together at all. The spagh taste like it was left overs. The catfish was cooked too hard and very thin. I drove 1hr to get there. I sat in the car to eat and wasn't satisfied at all after spending 52.00. It's a hard NO for me! This was nothing more than kitchen food. Grandma's soul food. read more

The customer service was wonderful and the establishment was clean. But the food wasn't flavorful. It lacked something. It was hot but wasn't tasty. It's also a bit pricey but they make up for the price with the amount of food they give. read more

Had the pleasure of eating here again today . It's been awhile since I last ate there only because of circumstances not connected to the restaurant . Today's meal was delicious . Very healthy portions are given to you to enjoy. Shawn , I'll be back sooner read more

I wish there was an option for a negative 5 stars. the employees are completely rude the owner is worse than her employees, I found a hair in my food when I brought it back to show them they could care less. Definitely do not recommend. read more

Food was great. First time trying. Will be back. Yum. Worth the drive. Ordered ahead. everything was ready and hot.

If you're looking for a great place for soul food look no further this is the place. Delicious is the word

Food is always great. The Staff very helpful when ordering. Love the pound cake and definitely the banana pudding !

Great food! Loved the prices and presentation. The owner is wonderful. I'd love to do business with her again. Hopefully I will get to go again soon read more

Beautiful woman owned space. There is also event space on the other side of restaurant. The ladies that serviced us were very nice; explained that it would be a fifteen minute wait for our food because the meats were cooked to order. The sides were visible in the warmers. Everything looked really good. The turkey chops were absolutely amazing; crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The sweet potatoes were well spiced and the collard greens had a nice flavor. They also have a pretty cool photo wall. read more

I wish I could give it more stars. I stumbled across this place leaving the gym and said I wanted to try it. I'm glad I did. EVERYTHING was perfect and seasoned to perfection. I will be returning. read more

I wish I'd tried Passion Eats sooner. The food, service and variety were awesome first visit. Second visit, less so. My two catfish meals came out 30 minutes apart! Told it was because they were doing a catering order (wth?) read more

Very pleasant experience with great customer service and the quality of the food is excellent.

Passion Eats catered my 60th Birthday Party. The food was excellent. We had the fried fish, chicken, green beans, mac and cheese, yams and cornbread. The fish and chicken were hot and crispy when it arrived at the venue. The staff was professional and very friendly. At the end, they boxed up everything and neatly stacked it on the table for my guests and I to take home. This is my second time doing business with Passion Eats. When I book with them they always tell me, "We got you" That statement is 100% true. I never have to worry about the service they provide. read more

The food is excellent! Cooked to order! She you a lot for your money. The turkey chops is to die for. I had my mother's birthday celebration there and it was no expensive at all! read more

It's a hit or miss for me. The first time I went, it was okay. Not the best but not the worst. I had my 2nd visit just today & the fried chicken was salty and the macaroni and cheese was a bit too cheesy for my liking. Also, the Signature Passion Tea is basically diabetes juice. Extremely too sweet. read more

PassionEats is the absolute best in my book! Food is ALWAYS delicious! Customer service is ALWAYS on point! Staff is ALWAYS personable and friendly, yet professional! Whether you're visiting their location or experiencing them in an event setting , the food and service is the same! I know they are not perfect but they are excellent! You've gotta try them! You won't be disappointed...and if you are, let them know: they'll make it right. read more

All I can say is, I'm disappointing I had some excellent food from this place for my class reunion. I mean everything was excellent. Every single thing was delicious and dying to get back over here to eat some more so I had to be in the city and I said oh I'm going over here, even tho it was truly out my way, but anyway get me some food. Well, the mac & cheese, chicken fish even the string beans were season to perfection at my class reunion but today nope nope nope nope nope I wasted $33. The mac & cheese tasted like it was a little sweet and not as cheesy. Hello Ronny the dressing nothing to write home about but I was so greedy because the mac & cheese was so good. The last time I ordered two large sides to go with my additional only thing that was good was the chicken wings but it wasn't worth $33 so I will not be returning I tried. I hate when they're not consistent. read more

Today i went to the Oakpark location on the Westside of Chicago.. Let me tell yall something this food is next level reminds me of the home cooked meal that grandma use to make!

Having a professional atmosphere is so important to me so i'm giving this place 5 stars I had the fish, yams, macaroni & cheese and let's not forget their punch! Thank you for serving the Westside sincerely T read more

My first time there was today. I purchased 3 pieces baked chicken and Mac and cheese, yams and a side of collard greens. Everything was good but the bake chicken. It didn't seem to be baked long enough for the crispy top. So I went home and air fried it to perfection. Just saying it looked almost boiled read more

TODAY I ordered fried turkey chops and two sides. I had to wait 20 minutes for my order to be filled. I would have ordered something else. If I knew it was gonna take that long. Secondly, the chops were very hard and salty. Wouldn't recommend the turkey chops to anyone. read more

My Mom, daughter and myself dined in today. My daughter loves mac and cheese. So we decided to try this establishment. The young lady took our order. She was very friendly and professional. My mom had the catfish dinner. I had the pork chop dinner. My daughter only wanted mac and cheese. Everything was delicious. We will definitely be back again. read more

The place was nice and the people were very personal and the food was delicious and there was 15 of us, and in spite of that that they gave us a special room read more

I tried for first time today and I was truly disappointed. I saw some TikTok posts really raving about the place so I had to try. The greens and cabbage were delicious but the Mac and cheese was embarrassing pasta was overcooked and the texture was clumpy. I purchased four dinners and I received burnt cornbread with two of the orders. Red beans and rice NO FLAVOR and also got rice and gravy that I thought was made by someone other than a person of color. One secret if you would just salt your rice I was really hoping I had found me a diamond but it turned out to be a lump of coal. read more
