Absolutely horrible customer service. We walked in at 11:30am on a Saturday and the restaurant was not busy. We waited 15 minutes for our order to be taken, then waited another 40 mins and the food never came. No one checked in to let us know anything. People at the table next to us stated they waited over 35 mins for their food. We finally walked out. NEVER AGAIN! read more

The attitude of 1 server or manager called it all into question for me. Went with friends and several items that were ordered were seemingly forgotten. No worries, I'll just bring it up. My friend didn't want it any longer just cancel the item and permit us to check out. I don't fault him for wanting to eat all his breakfast items together and I didn't blame the lady for her initial response but then she felt inclined to speak on it some more... Weirdly aggressive. Like, she said she'll get the item out. He said no thank you. I don't want it. She said well I didn't know about the problem before. He said.. Yeah, I know you didn't I'm just explaining that I don't want it any longer. It was like she was out to prove something that didn't need proving. My catfish was seasoned well but the greens were horribly unflavored and the fish too fishy. Their wings are nice. Everybody seemed to enjoy the grits that made it to the table. What was forgotten: 2 cans of Coke, a cheese grit, regular grit and toast. I think something else but it's a week later and I forgot. After that whole exchange at the table ... I opted not to by my parent a bag of peach flavored coffee. I'd return if others want to go but it's not my top choice as I don't care for breakfast. Oh, the place appears clean and good diversity in the staff. read more

Peach's Restaurant - Throwback. - American Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I HAD to make my way to Peach's by the way people were raving about the peach bourbon french toast. I didn't know about anything else on the menu (but I am a french toast fan so that's all I needed). Sadly, the french toast didn't live up to the hype I was hearing. I thought the batter would've had a peach flavor to really give it a special boost, however, I got what any other restaurant would give... Regular french toast with a side of Peach Bourbon sauce/compote. Not super extravagant to me. Still had good flavor! The peaches could've been a little more fresh to bring out the flavor but the bourbon glaze was delicious! I didn't leave overly full and stuffed which was fine with me. The portion was good enough for you to enjoy and eat other meals during the day. The best part of my meal was the eggs, bacon and potatoes LOL. I may have to pair pancakes with that next. GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE, nice restaurant space so there's minimal crowding and there's enough seating in the waiting area for large parties. I will visit again. read more

I haven't been home in awhile & had to have some salmon croquettes & grits. They were so good, just as I remembered. Also the young man recommended the peach lemonade, I'm going to need some more of that. The service was great, all of them were courteous & so pleasant. I brought a friend here & we really enjoyed ourselves. Can't wait to come back. read more

I found this restaurant using Google 'Black Owned Restaurants' leading me to Yelp. Don't sleep on Peach's deliciously bustling restaurant. If you can't wait run to the counter. The space is large with plenty of table top seating but busy. I had things to do so I opted for the counter. My server was friendly and helpful working this difficult to navigate counter. She is short the counter is high with thermo coffee pots and glasses of water. But she made it work. My questions were answered in detail and suggestions made. The coffee I started with was pretty good. The delivery of the food is slow but it is very busy, a Sunday at 11:00am. So I'll give them a pass. I asked if the grits had any dairy products, heavy cream, cream cheese etc., I was told they did not but they did. Not a fan of that at all! But the catfish and greens were on point flavorful without being salty. Now the Peach Bourbon French Toast was DIVINE!! I ordered a side of French Toast and the server suggested the sauce as I could not eat a full portion. Peach Bourbon French Toast is a ABSOLUTE MUST!! If you're ever in Bronzeville make Peach's your FIRST STOP!! read more

The worst service ever. They were very slow and it wasn't even busy. I only ordered pancakes and one side and I waited over an hour and still no food. I walked out. read more

After reading allll the reviews of this place I was excited....... That was quickly broken. The Host up front was AMAZING!!!!! Energy, attention aura. I love him. I was sat after a bit of a wait. The place is smaller so expect a wait. Since it was just me they sat me at the countertop. Which was okay for me. The Host got me water and coffee ( peach coffee) it was okay. Menu was nice I got the Andouille sausage & Shrimp skillet, side of Salmon Croquette and cup of Grits. I've seen sooo many rave about the Grits. Grits were not Creamy and flavorful like I expected, more watery than I prefer The Salmon croquette was still Cold like it was originally frozen so not homemade The skillet was horrible. Hard potatoes over cooked egg, there was no freshness to the dish. The shrimp seemed to been cooked shrimp and just added to the dish and yes in the pics it was only 4 shrimps. Binder for the skillet was cheddar cheese no onions, peppers anything in the skillet. If so it was over cooked so the flavor didn't come thru. I'm not sure if it was a bad kitchen day, but I was disappointed read more

Peach's Restaurant - Shrimp & Grits and Scrambled eggs, chicken sausage Side of French Toast ( 2 wedges) - American Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

We came here for carryout birthday brunch after workouts. We called and picked up peach bourbon french toast, salmon croquettes and grits, and biscuit. (I think for $16 grits dishes should come with pancakes/toast/biscuit like the big chains do, but the portions were a nice size. And yet..) The peach bourbon compote was AWESOME and the salmon/grits combo wasn't as odd as I thought. Everything was really good! The toast was crispy and thick, the grits were well seasoned and creamy. I'm happy to support black-owned/small businesses but this is a rare treat for me. I can do this maybe once a month, but it's a great way to break the routine, plus it can stretch into 2 meals and a snack! read more

Exactly what I needed right when I needed it! Went to peaches after their morning rush (pretty much 1pm). We were at quickly. Our server recommended the peach Palmer and I was not disappointed. The shrimp and grits were really good. The catfish was amazing. Fried perfect! And the greens were ok. I was really really liking for some full leaf home cooked ones but I understand and wasn't disappointed because I really like greens lol. Otherwise great lunch. read more

Peach's Restaurant - Catfish, Greens & Grits no grits though. - American Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Decided to stop in Peach's for breakfast/brunch. The staffer that w assisted us was very friendly and bubbly. She was amazing with issuing our recommendations of items. We settled on a bowl with everything, shrimp and grits, and Carmel cake after she mentioned it was very good. The place was packed when we entered and the curbside parking outside was stretched pretty far down MLK almost back to 46th st. Food came packaged nicely as we got it to go to avoid the wait of a table. My husbands food was gone before I was able to get a photo of it but he did mention that it was simply okay, nothing that he'd be in a rush to go back and have again. The shrimp and grits were the same for me as well, just okay. The shrimp had a very nice seasoning and taste but the grits came up short as there was little to no flavor. I added hot sauce to the mix which made the perfect addition to the dish. Now the peach Palmer and strawberry lemonade both were good but have a bottle of water on standby to dilute it. Sweet they are! The highlight of the meal was the Carmel cake. Very moist and just good! Sweet but good! Will return and looking forward to trying the salmon croquettes and catfish. If you haven't been definitely stop in and give it a try! read more

It was my first time here. I came as part of a group of 6. The place was spacious and definitely good for groups. Our host was great and very knowledgeable about the menu. Her service throughout was excellent. I was impressed with their house blend of coffee. Peach flavored/infused coffee. It sounds weird at first but it was actually really good! I would recommend that alone for any coffee drinkers and they even sell the roast itself. My dish was a cinnamon French toast with fried chicken wings. The chicken wings were amazing and were not greasy whatsoever. I was very pleased. One person in our group ordered duck bacon! You heard that right! It was really good and better than turkey bacon. It actually tasted very "hammy" and was crisp on the edges. Definitely recommend this as well. We were even given a cup of coffee to go. Great staff and great service. You can tell the chefs/cooking staff know what their doing in the kitchen. My review is based on service and dish. If ever in the Bronzeville area of Chicago, you must support. It is a local business which makes it even better. Whether you're a local or just visiting, please support! To the owner and staff, great job! As always, I hope this helps. read more

This place has a really homey feeling. It felt like I was in the south visiting my family when I walked in. I was a little confused as to why there was a wait to be seated when there were open tables though. The food was DELICIOUS. I ordered the duck bowl which had duck bacon,house potatoes, sweet peppers, onions, and spinach. It was also topped with an egg. I also had a side order of French toast. The food was fresh and hot. I will say it did take a while for the order to leave the kitchen which I didn't like because I was VERY hungry. The service was good. She checked on us frequently. Overall, I loved this place. I plan to return in the future. I gave them 4/5 stars because I had to wait longer than I expected for my food. read more

You know those restaurants that you visit in cities far away from your hometown, yet when you walk in somehow you feel right at home? That's how it feels walking into Peach's. Let me set the scene: Anita Baker - I Apologize is playing on the radio softly, a waitress with a warm smile says she'll be right with you and a woman from the neighborhood chilling inside compliments your hair. How can you not fall in love with a place like this? Peach's is one of many recommendations I gained from one of my Instagram followers while visiting Chicago last week. I was told to go here for breakfast and I must say, it was a great way to start my last full day in the city. Crispy chicken, warm grits, biscuits n' gravy lovin' is what you get when you visit here. I've had my fair share of shrimp and grits, so I went with the 'Fried Chicken' dish, which consists of fried chicken wings with cinnamon french toast and sweet honey butter. Eating the chicken dipped in spicy hot sauce with the french toast sweetness combined was true southern love at first bite. Their chicken is fresh, crispy and cooked to order. Full of flavor and it came out with smoke still coming from it! The french toast is soft, airy and cinnamon sweet. Service is awesome; this particular day only maybe 2-3 tables were filled, but the waitress never missed a beat. She was super nice and made sure each table was assisted, never hesitating to pass by during your meal with a "You enjoying everything?" Enjoyment is an understatement. If Peach's was someplace in Louisiana, Georgia or Alabama, it would most definitely be known as a southern staple. But since we aren't nearly as fortunate as Chicago is to have one, its definitely a black business staple in this community. I assure you, the next time I touch down in Chicago, my beloved Peach's and I will meet yet again. read more

Greeted with a smile and seated right away at bar. Service from Cam was great. Bright space with normal booths and tables nothing fancy. Catfish & grits were great only thing else needed was a mimosa. Catfish was seasoned and crispy. Only thing i didn't care for was the collard greens because they were way too salty. Definitely would try it again maybe it was today's cook with a heavy hand on the salt. read more

After reading several reviews and seeing some amazing food pictures I was excited to visit. Sadly to say It was a total disappointment. I love breakfast, and I go crazy for some good shrimp and grits. Today I have very few words for the shrimp and grits I had. Very tasteless and unattractive.

Never again. Ever! read more

Ate in with two other guests and we all loved our food. There was a breakfast sandwich, the breakfast platter, and I personally got the oatmeal with the peach compote and a salmon croquette with some texas toast. My ONLY complaint is that the toast literally only came w/ ONE SLICE of toast for $2 lol. The service was great, we ended getting a new server (I think the other one maybe went on break or something) but they both were great. Kind and inviting atmosphere. Questions and requests were addressed very respectfully and promptly. I would definitely recommend! read more

It is not often I post up 5 star review , but they deserve it! My daughter and I both got the Shrimp and grits which was about $16.95 but they gave us a generous amount and we both took home a doggie bag. I had the Peach Infused Coffee as well as the Peach and Lemonade Infused Tea and both were top notched and Im glad we gave the place a try. We watched as other dishes passed our table and we both looked at each other like oh yes we will be back. The prices are comparable to many other restaurants. The place was clean and it filled up quick and we were glad we got there early, because the place had a line. I wish I could remember our waitress's name she was an employee in training and I would have never known if she hadn't told us. She gave us just the right amount attention and with just one hiccup I would ask for her service each time. So yes I would recommend this place for anyone who wants to have a great family friendly breakfast and lunch spot. As always..... Enjoy and be Safe! read more

A neighborhood staple, peaches is the perfect place for a quaint, southern-style breakfast. Bring an appetite and of course bring a friend. I had the salmon croquettes resting on top of cheese grits along with a side of greens and top it off with peach flavored coffee, which was a treat in itself. I ate at the bar so I didn't have to wait for a table. The atmosphere is chatiw but friendly, service was quick and painless and the staff is a definite Delight.

It's Ant Season at Peaches, y'all!! ~ Tiffany, the manager. My preference would be a zero for management. However, that's not possible via Yelp. Sooo, I have to enlighten people via the review. My mother and I stopped in for brunch. Dontae, the greeter, was exceptional; Shawn, our server, was hospitable. If you grew up under the helm of real southern cooks who whipped up all things from scratch, you WILL NOT be impressed with the fare at this establishment: the chicken was fried soft and wasn't quality chicken, overall; the french toast tasted as though it had been frozen -- not fresh. The grits were fine, thankfully. At some juncture my mother noticed a congregation of ants on one side under our booth. A prior occupant of the booth had dropped a morsel of food, and the ants had eagle-eye vision and was on it. We'd received our food, so I was reticent to move. We simply just edged a bit more toward the edge of our booth and completed our meal. The ants weren't interested in us, however it was a disgusting spectacle to have witnessed during our meal. After we received our bill, my mother, who is a senior citizen, asked our server if we could be compensated for the inconvenience of the congregation of ants partying off to one side under the table. He was flummoxed by this simple request which bothered me. He should have felt comfortable apologizing and offering at least 10% or so off of the meal. I've worked in customer service before. A solid establishment will give you agency and trust your judgement to the extent where he should have felt comfortable in offering something small for the inconvenience. He ran off to get the manager. In her sistah-girl glory, she came swooping in with her implacable stone-scripted face and condescending tone. Same question posed to her: what concessions can you make for our inconvenience? Remember, she's speaking to my mother, who is a senior citizen. First error. She offered ZERO apology. Second error. Condescension. "We could have moved you"... (Really, we could have moved ourselves, Einstein.) Third Error. Making mindless excuses. "IT'S ANT SEASON" (Really?!? This is a manager telling patrons of a FOOD establishment it's ant season, and basically stating there was nothing she could do about the ants. MMmmmm.. try again. This time, Tiffany, don't even reference pests, at all...) Fourth and HUGEST Error perpetrated by Tiffany. Disrespecting an elder. My mother was calm and reasonable. This manager showed zero respect toward my mother, nor did she actively listen to what my mother was saying. She came with the stone-face of disregard and held onto it tightly throughout the brief interlude. If she'd had proper training in hospitality anywhere, she would have apologized and at the least offered my mother a senior discount. Tiffany is EXTREMELY unprofessional and insulted our intelligence. You never know who you're talking to or dealing with. She's probably the reason this establishment can't eek out a 4-star rating. There are plenty more places to sit and not be amidst bugs and stank managerial attitudes. You have no respect for your elders, Tiffany; I have no intention of returning for sub-par fare and lackluster management. We have deep, deep roots in Bronzeville: I live in Bronzeville; my mother lives in Bronzeville; and my brother lives in Bronzeville. I attend church in Bronzeville, too. We won't be back. Chicken and Waffles is less than one mile north of this location. Head there for breakfast or brunch. While I enjoyed my coffee at Peach's, I can do without the management style of Tiffany and her lack of respect for her elders. read more

As many times as I have been to Peach's I am surprised I have not written a review in a while. I've been coming here for years and it never disappoints. Food is always made with love and the staff is the best. The peach coffee adds a unique twist to the breakfast diner-style of this restaurant. Lately, I have been ordering for pick up and my food is always made within the window, it's hot, and fresh. I've tried almost everything they make and even though they got rid of the duck bowl, I love that their menu continues to evolve. I recently tried the 7up pancakes something I never knew I needed. This is why I keep coming back. read more

Peach's Restaurant - 7up pancakes and chicken - American Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I read the mixed reviews so I was hesitant. The biggest complaint that I read was about wait times, so I had another nearby restaurant as my plan B. I walked in & was greeted by the hostess. She explained that there was 30 minute wait for a table but because I was alone I had the option of eating at the bar area. I chose the latter. My server, Elaina, was very attentive. It took me no time to order & my food came shortly after. Anything I needed, she was there to provide. Now about the food. I ordered the "Fresh Prince Omelette". Which was supposed to be stuffed with chicken breast, onions, green peppers, & provolone cheese. The green peppers & onions must have been virtual, because I didn't see ANY. The chicken was so dry that the cheese didn't help. The omelette accompaniments was pancakes & hash browns. I chose the duck bacon as my breakfast meat. Pancakes tasted like they were a store brand. The duck bacon reminded me of turkey bacon. I was underwhelmed. The hash browns were ok. As my beverage, I chose the peach coffee. The coffee was very smooth. Overall, the food was mediocre at best. The coffee was delightful. My server made my experience worthwhile. read more

OH. MY. GOSH!!!!!!! I love this place!!!! My cousin lives close by so we could have walked if it were not for the rain. We waited about 30 minutes for a seat. WORTH THE WAIT!!! We sat at the bar and had some of the best service. A bit of advice, the bar is first come first served. They have quite a few seats, booth style and table top. However it gets packed quickly. The beautiful decor makes up for it a tad. I enjoyed looking at the artwork on the walls. Our server was so kind and delightful honestly. She convinced me to order the peach coffee. I'm STILL trying to figure out how to order some. I could kick myself for not buying a bag. Please get a cup if you love coffee. I ordered pancakes, eggs, house potatoes, and turkey sausage. It's called the Peach's Special. All of that for $10.95!!! Everything was delicious although I could have done without the turkey sausage. The pancakes were buttermilk, melt in your mouth good. The breakfast potatoes were well seasoned and were cooked just right. You definitely should stop by here! I'm coming back whenever I come back to the CHI. read more
