Ok so I had to be honest and update this review from a 3 star to a 4 star. Hey when I'm harsh I can admit it. So since my first visit I've been back actually a few times. I went by myself and actually received much better service. Lawdy the chicken and waffles with peach cobbler sauce is to die for. It's so yummy, gone ahead and drizzle that special sauce on that waffle. Yum. Washed it down with peach tea. Will be back, and glad I gave them another try. read more

Neighborhood diner, community feel. Nothing crazy -- go in, grab a table or sit at the bar. As a fan of diners, I'm a fan of Peach's Restaurant. We went for breakfast, both of us had omelettes -- no problem there. Could have used more frequent coffee refills but that isn't a reason to dislike Peach's. Would go again. read more

I really wish I could give a higher rating but my experience was unpleasant. I bought my family here to celebrate a birthday. Food came out 40 min late, my sisters (birthday) potatoes were burnt, kids didn't get meal & orange juice only got pancakes and my food didn't come out until it was time for us to leave. Waitress was very nice but the kitchen couldn't handle food for 6. It was a struggle to get them to change the receipt to get a refund on food that we did not receive. I can't give a rating based off food taste because I haven't had the opportunity to eat my food. I wasn't looking for a discount or anything but there was not any accountability for our experience. I'll likely won't be returning read more

This place has really good food. Although we had to wait awhile for our food it was still good and hot. Highly recommend the peach coffee, peach Palmer, duck bacon and shrimp and grits. The grits were extremely hot and had very good taste to it. read more

Fast service for southern diner food. A few friends and I dropped by for lunch on a Friday and the place was surprisingly busy. Fortunately we were seated quickly and ordered promptly. I split the salmon croquettes with cheese grits and the duck bacon bowl. The salmon croquettes were interesting to say the least, fishier than I like my salmon usually. The cheese grits were good but I've had creamier before! The duck bacon bowl was disappointing, the potatoes were mushy and not crispy like I like them to be. Additionally there wasn't much duck bacon, it was sliced thinly and you had to dig for it. The duck bacon itself didn't really taste like duck which is disappointing. Skip it and go for pork if you really want bacon. Average brunch and diner food, there are better Southern comfort food restaurants in Chicago I'd rather go to. read more

I was thrilled to try a restaurant I have never frequent. I was told by my sister to check it out. I came from NWI so why not. The atmosphere is great. The food that I got a chance to taste was good. However, the breakfast meal I ordered arrived in pieces and the meat and eggs were overcooked. I asked to have the meat to be replaced and the server informed me that he had to talk to manager. He returned to get the meat and I gave him the entire plate to be replaced. Still I have not received my pancakes. I asked to speak to the manager to no avail. The server pointed to a group of people and said that's the owner. TO make a real long story short the manager on duty Ms. T handled the situation in a very professional manner. I received a gift cert and a complimentary breakfast. I will give them another try. Chef Ramsey, Jr. read more

Very good food and service. Their menu offers some traditional savory and sweet soul food classic's that I definitely appreciated. Parking can be a challenge so keep that in mind. read more

Well I will not be back,I had not been here since it opened and although it was good then I was hoping for even better now. Well not so ,six shrimp in the shrimp and grits and their not creamy cheesy grits. The duck bowl was all potatoes and 1slice duck bacon with cheese and the Peaches special wasn't. The peach coffee is still very good. I just won't be back. I try to support black business, but I still want good food and nice portions for the price. read more

Peach's Restaurant - Duck bowl - American Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This is our new favorite breakfast/brunch spot in South Chicago. It's a great, modern classic diner with some delicious southern options. They even have duck bacon. I had the cornmeal fried catfish with greens and buttery grits. Everything was perfectly delicious. The greens were flavorful, and the cornmeal coating on the fish had a nice crunch . My husband had the peaches special which included scrambled eggs, potatoes, sausages, and pancakes. In his words: "it was a good, classic breakfast with everything you could want. The potatoes were well-seasoned and crispy." The portions are hearty but don't leave you feeling like you need to nap for three hours afterwards. Everything was very homemade. It was a bustling, comfortable and cheerful place. read more

Peach's Restaurant - Wow!! Duck bacon!! - American Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Experience is Dependent on your server. Had a great server one time, food was really good, enjoyed myself. Returned a second time and I'm still waiting on my server. Food is good though so I kept it at 4 stars. Another waitress stepped in to help ultimately making the experience worth while in the end. read more

I wanted 2 try this spot due 2 the comments I read. I am so glad I did. The outside was clean and inviting. The same was 2 be said about the inside. The decor was just right, loved the old school stove and the writing on the wall. I gave hostess my name, she told me 20 mins. I sat on one of the nice benches and waited 11 minutes for a table. The server, Amirr, was nice, pleasant, professional. I love the berets they wear. Resembles the Black Panthers. Now I want one but have to get it custom made since I have a big head. . I ordered the egg white veggie omelette which was delish plus a side of duck bacon, which was my 1st time trying and I liked it. The peach coffee sounded odd at first but after adding creamer, it was pleasant. I may not buy it outside of this spot but here it makes sense. The pancake was delish; loved the grits, not too thick, not too buttery. My hub ordered a cheese omelette which he liked; the seasoning on his potatoes was delicious. The vibe was nice, a mixed crowd. I love supporting independent businesses. They did a great job. Keep it up guys. read more

OMG first time here & the food is GREAT. We didn't have to wait to be seated which was perfect b/c we were starving. The young ladies that greeted us was very friendly & funny. We both ordered the Peaches Special. The cheese grits is a must try. They were very fluffy, hot & so yummy. The pancakes, eggs & turkey sausage were great. I been to alot of restaurants where the eggs were horrible & the turkey sausage was dried out. Not this place. Every bite you could taste the freshness. This place cook there food with love. I will return. read more

First let me say I love the location and the idea of this southern style restaurant and I try to support small businesses. But there's a lot that needs to be done to improve service. I've been here at least 3 times in a span of a few years and there always a problem with the order. Something was undercooked, wait time is always forever, you have to flag down waitstaff or it's the wrong order. I love the shrimp and grits, duck bacon and peach cobbler. But with there always being an issue I don't see myself coming back here. I hope management can make improvements cause it really needs it. If you go here try to go during off peak hours and don't go when you are extra hungry. read more

This is one of my favorite breakfast spots! Today was especially wonderful. They have a new special call the Gladys and oh my was it wonderful..it features a salmon croquette and rice with homemade chicken gravy. The cheese grits and homemade mile high biscuits w/peach preserve will make you slap somebody (be careful not to hit yo mamma but you just might). They have a new pineapple Palmer that was awesome. Everything was simply mouthwatering. Update: Consistency sucks and the wait is horrible. Just being honest. You must have a couple hours to kill. read more

Had breakfast here yesterday, 9/21/18. Heard so many wonderful praises about PEACHES. THE GOOD: Our server, Latoya, was sweet and accommodating. Very pleasant to talk to and very patient with us. Street parking was easy, East 47th Street is metered, inner King Drive is free. AMBIANCE: Just your average diner, no frills, nothing spectacular on the walls. Nothing popped out and said "come on back!" Typical hard wood, chairs and tables, booths. All on top if a painted concrete floor. All I had were visions if someone dropping a coffee mug, and ceramic flying in some customers EYES. THE BAD: My daughter ordered the Fried Chicken and French Toast, butter looked like it had honey in it. You get 4 anorexic wings, not well seasoned and 3 slices of French Toast. What happened to the 4th slice of FT? And the FT was gummy and served at room temperature, not good! I ordered the Steak and Eggs, it came with Grits and Pancakes. BEST grits I've ever had, bar none awesome. Steak was suppose to be 6oz, it was more like 4oz, and bland no flavor. My eggs were served cold and the Pancakes were also gummy. And the coffee was ok, we had the peach coffee as well, the coffee cup was full of coffee grounds. Worst taste on my planet. And lastly, the restaurant wasn't that busy. After we were seated in the middle of the room, we asked for a booth. The hostess, Deja(?), told us NO, because she had to rotate her servers. 2 gentlemen came in and were seated near us, they too asked for a booth and were re-seated. That one gesture would keep me from EVER going back again! read more

I went with a colleague to Peaches after hearing a rave review to ultimately have a mediocre experience. The restaurant is large and conveniently located. The server was polite. The food took extra long to arrive, particularly when there were only two other tables occupied while we were there. The food was ok. I ordered the chicken and French toast...the chicken needed additional salt and the French toast wasn't anything special. My colleague ordered grits with spinach and tomatoes (she eats very little meat) and a biscuit which she thought both were fine. So overall, an average experience. read more

This is my second time at this restaurant and once again they did not disappoint. Of course Latoya was my server and she was awesome! Very kind, always smiling, and down to earth! I wanted to take a walk on the wild side and try something different outside of a basic breakfast that has become my usual. She recommended "The Goodfella" omelet! It comes with Italian sausage, mushrooms, onions, sweet peppers, and provolone cheese. The giardiniera peppers were thee perfect pairing with this omelette, pleasing my taste buds. I also had their light and fluffy pancakes, potatoes, and cheese grits! Of course I couldn't finish it all despite eating for two but I was happy to have some to take home for later! If you're ever in the area looking for some good breakfast or brunch, this is the place f read more

A gem in Bronzeville! Cheese grits with shrimp and coffee with a hint of peaches. Make sure you get there early, the later you get there, the longer you will wait, but even then, the wait didn't seem bad. It did get a bit noisy once it got busy so not an ideal date spot. Overall, I highly recommend you give this place a try. read more

This is my second time trying Peaches because I had a friend in town. Their food is very basic dare I say it mediocre. I really want to like this local business because it's close to where I live. I tried the duck bacon which was ok not great but edible. The cheese grits everyone can make grits and Peaches did not do a good job. Only thing that was decent was the peaches in bourbon sauce that I put on my toast. I will not be returning anytime soon. Too many other brunch spots to enjoy. read more

Peach's Restaurant - Cheese grits & duck bacon - American Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Peaches, is a diner that has a lot of charm. Its fantastic spot in the heart of Bronzeville for breakfast or lunch. At the corner of 47th and King Drive. There is plenty of free parking on South Park street just west of the boulevard. If you feel like splurging there's metered parking on 47th street. Some of the favorites are the fried catfish, grits and greens. Today, I'm going for the Salmon croquettes and cheesy grits. This is one place that I keep in regular rotation. They also have old school peach penny candy at the door as a parting gift. read more

I've been trying to make it over to Peach's for quite sometime. It's Chicago Black Restaurant Week and my childhood friend is in town so we met for a late breakfast. I arrived earlier than her and was seated without any issues. My server was very attentive bringing me refills of hot water for my tea. As soon as my girlfriend joined me, the waitress was right there to take our orders. We both had the shrimp and grits. It was great!! I would have loved to have more shrimp but the meal left me satisfied and feeling great. The service and quality of food was great. I'll be back to try another dish. read more

Wow! This was such a let down. The environment & the staff appeared open & friendly. The food itself was a disaster. The salmon, bacon, & pancakes were all sent back b/c they were served to our table undercooked. The pancakes literally had wet dough in the center. The pork bacon was still pink as was the salmon. The food was sent back initially for being cold not room temperature but literally cold. Like how long was this sitting on a table with no heat light cold. When all of the food was placed on our table we knew exactly why it had taken so long to get our food! We had 1 order for the shrimp & grits which was piping hot (obviously was just cooked) but everything else was cold. SMH There was a numerous amount of apologies but I'm sorry there is no excuse for a restaurant to send out cold food then replace it with undercooked food. read more

Excellent breakfast and brunch in the heart of Bronzeville. It's always pretty busy, but you're probably going to be able to grab a free table. The coffee is DELICIOUS and smooth, and there are plenty of options to choose from. The portions are big; I find that I don't have room for extra sides because the dishes are big enough by themselves. read more

First time eating here. I ordered shrimp and cheese grits with a side croquettes. It was OK, I really wished that the chef would have removed the shell from the tail of the shrimp. It made it hard to eat. I had to remove the shell off of every tail. We did inform the staff to let the chef know our thoughts on the shrimp. The meal also came with a side of garlic bread. The bread just looks like a piece of white bread with garlic butter. That was ok, but I wish that it was toasted darker. Also, the croquette pattie was small and very thick. No onions or bells were added. The servers were young, maybe in their early 20s, but I must say, each of the show great customer service. The young man at the entrance greeted us with a hello, welcome to Peaches with a BIG SMILE ,I was very impressed. I expressed to the gentleman how great their servic was and to keep up the good work and gave him a very nice tip. All in all I think the service was better than my meal. I will try them again to see if I like any other items on the menu.. Just an FYI.. this is a breakfast place only...Mz Mimi read more

My sister and I decided to go to Peach's restaurant before heading back to Atlanta. The staff was friendly and we were seated quickly. My sister got the fried chicken and french toast. She said she enjoyed it. I got the catfish, greens and grits. The catfish and grits were good, however the greens weren't all that. They had a good flavor but was way too mushy. Overall, we had a good experience though. read more

So our friend suggests we go to Peaches after class on a Saturday. No problem, we go in and wait patiently for our seat and the wait wasn't bad at all. Now the horror story begins... The waitress takes our order, 1 hour later we are still sitting and it's not packed. When we inquired, the waitresses response was...."it's almost up." She was friendly, but she should have ensured she checked. I guess she doesn't understand how that affects her tip. We literally watched as people who sat WAY after us got their food ate and left. They blamed the incident on a ticket error. Unless they had to go to the lake and kill the ducks, there is no way it should have taken that long. An hour and a half later our orders were messed up, luke warm and a total disappointment. The manager was insincere in her apology and gave us 20% off the bill. Really??? Once we paid our separate bills the 20% basically went back into it. When you know better you do better. I letting you know now you need to do better! Could we have left, sure. Could we have attempted to correct the situation we did, will we be back, not ever. Keep the 20%, but know the damage from bad customer service can do more harm than if you had just gave a sincere apology and corrected the issue. read more

Haven't been to this restaurant in more than five years. Went today near opening time and it was quiet. Servers were friendly. Food is still mediocre and pretty pricy now (to make up for the price of eggs). Not much for a vegan or vegetarian to enjoy. read more

This place was average. While the popular peach bourbon compote was delicious, it was merely peach cobbler filling. The food was not hot when brought out to us :( We had to wait an additional 5 minutes for our complete meal to come out once it was sat on our table. Our server was friendly enough, but service didn't rock my socks off. I am not surprised that the turkey sausage are the standard frozen little patties, however I was disappointed. Eggs were prepared OK. Gluten free pancake was edible and like I said before the peach compote was good. Come here if you are in the area, starving, and it's on an off day because it is definitely not worth waiting over 10 minutes to be seated. We may be back to try something else on the menu! read more

Very friendly staff, Rachel was great! Bright and open floor plan made for an atmosphere conducive for enjoying this wonderful breakfast. The food was fantastic! The peach-infused coffee... was, in my opinion, a HIT! My only comment regarding the coffee is that I would have liked a saucer instead of using my napkin for my used spoon. This location is situated on a historic corner in the history of the community. Hopefully they will stay here for a very long time. read more

Great food. Our favorites were the southern Benedict, catfish and grits, salmon croquettes and the peach bourbon French toast. Great ambiance. Good time had by all! Went to Peach's with a large group(about 20). Staff was accommodating to our needs and made sure we all were taken care of, even on a VERY busy Mothers Day. You guys made all the mamas in my group smile so for that, I say THANK YOU! When I tell you, everyone in my party was planning to return soon, I'm not kidding. Peach coffee was great. Buy a bag or two. This place has great consistency and as a chef myself, I can truly say I respect that and kudos to the back of the house for "firing" our tables with great pace. read more
