Went to Southern Cafe and overall it was a mixed experience…read more I got the veggie skillet and it was sooo good--definitely the highlight, super flavorful and honestly fire. The frappe was also really good. My friend ordered the avocado toast, which she liked, but her caramel macchiato was off at first it tasted mostly like milk with a little caramel. They did fix it though, so I'll give them credit for that. Only downside was she ended up feeling like she got food poisoning afterward. The egg on her dish had a thin film on it, so we're thinking it might not have been fully cooked, which is concerning. Service itself was good and the staff was nice. Parking was also easy, which is always a plus. Good food overall, but that situation definitely threw things off a bit.

Upon eating, THE WORST biscuit ever though it is dressed up nicely with all types of other foods with with. It's okay. The omelette was just okay, VERY plain regardless of all that was there. Oversized and big for nothing like alot of things in America. Red flag, they didn't do their own fresh orange juice, and usually great breakfast places juice their own juices. There's was again, just okay. And for the prices I can't give em an average rating at all and won't be back. I'm glad that years ago I could from the outside know these types of establishments just by look from the outside. It's the same with alot of things in this world

I'm not going to mention any names but every place for takeout to the Palatine area has Sucked. Too dry, overcooked, no meat, weird sauce, small portions, you name it, BAD. I took a chance on SSBBQ. They had a special promo in the Uber Eats App so I ordered a Slab +1/4 of Ribs, fries, Cole slaw and Beans. It was delivered quickly, warm and delicious! The Ribs were THICK and juicy with not too much sauce! All of the sides were fresh and really good. My wife and I both really loved the dinner and will be ordering again when we get the BBQ urge. Hats off to Secret Sauce and Uber Eats for getting us a great meal Fast...... Thx Jeff.

The staff recognized our food was taking longer than expected, even came with soup. But when the waffles I ordered as an appetizer for the table didn't come, and another table of 10 compared to our table of 3 got their appetizer before us, and they sat later, that annoyed me. Ok maybe the waiter didn't hear me when I said , the waffles is for the table as an appetizer. I still stayed patiently waiting, unfortunately when the table next to me got their food before we got ours, well that's just bad. Horrible service

Best Truckin' BBQ is pretty darn good! And imagine my surprise when I found out they were owned by…read moreDeli Time! Deli Time is the great cafe inside my office building (and inside many buildings in the 'burbs). A friend had told me about them and when I saw the truck recently at a food truck meetup, I was determined to try them right away. I was their first customer of the day (lucky me!) and the staff seemed really energetic and enthusiastic about their items. I love pulled pork morning, noon and night (minus the morning) so I had to get the Interstate BBQ sandwich. The Interstate is $7 and is a BBQ Pork Sandwich-hand seasoned pork shoulder, smoked for twelve hours, chopped, sauced, & served on your choice of bun (according to their menu). You can pick from a brioche roll or pretzel bread. You can also get the sandwich in slider form for just $3.50. I liked the sandwich an awful lot, ever so slightly dry but great flavor. It's left me wanting more! They have a Bacon chocolate brownie....Yea I'm going to need to get that the next time I get Best Truckin' BBQ. And oh yes, there will be a next time. The truck is stationed in Schaumburg and makes a lot of stops in the area - perfect for a weekday lunch for me!

It wasn't too crowded inside, our server was very friendly, and I liked the decor where guests can draw with crayon on the walls/tables and seats. I ordered all 3 flavors of sauce with insane heat level for my seafood boil bag, it was delicious. The insane heat level isn't too spicy, but I might have a higher level of tolerance more for spice. This is a messy meal - there are tons of sinks to clean up at afterwords and they give you bibs and gloves - definitely recommend using those when eating. Come only on the specials days otherwise it's too expensive. I will definitely be back for the Thursday deal.

So, imagine my surprise when I found out they had a restaurant on Irving Park Road in Wooddale - and I would occasionally pass it going to and from work! Well, it was time to try it for lunch today. There wasn't a big line of people, but boy did the food smell like barbecue when I walked in! I quickly ordered the two meat combo with chopped brisket and pulled pork. I got the green chili, Mac and cheese as a side, as well as the classic coleslaw. All right - the ambience was just perfect for a small barbecue place. The food came quickly, but I noted it wasn't quite right. I had asked for chopped brisket not sliced brisket. Not a crime against humanity, true, but still I didn't complain and I decided to go ahead and eat it anyway. So how was it? Well, I slathered on sweet rays barbecue sauce, and ate like crazy. The meat was pretty darn good! The green chili mac & cheese was delicious- can't say that the coleslaw was to my taste, but there was nothing wrong with it. The cornbread was fantastic. The only reason for the demerit? Was that I ordered chopped brisket and got sliced. Will I come here again? Yes, yes I think I shall! And I think you should try it too if you like barbecue.

My husband and I were in the area and decided to stop in for some BBQ…read more My husband ordered the Large Nachos with Smoked Pork. He did not like how they put them on a checkered paper, it tore and was heard to eat. The pork was also too dry.'he said they were ok but he won't order them again. He says he will order a burger next time! I ordered the 1/2 Alabama Chicken with cornbread and two sides. I chose green beans and coleslaw. I love that they have healthy side options. The chicken was really delicious and flavorful. Probably the best 1/2 chicken I have had in a very long time! It was juicy and the perfect temperature. My favorite thing was the corn bread muffin! It was moist and delicious not dry at all! I would definitely order this meal again! The restaurant was very clean and they played classic rock music in the background (the drive radio station). The restaurant is small but the perfect temperature... it was in the 50's outside and inside it was about 70 degrees in here. If you're in the area I highly recommend giving this restaurant a try. We will definitely be back to give other menu items a try!

When the caterer for our huge event of 120 people failed to show up at 6:30am, we were at a loss. I called around and the only restaurant able to assist on such a last minute-large scale event was The Southern Cafe. Without hesitation, DP said that he would do everything he could and cook not only our breakfast meals, but our lunch and two meals for the next day's event as well! In quick turnaround, he and his entire staffed worked hard and cooked up some great food. Thick bacon, great flavor, and phenomenal service. We nearly everything on the menu, and all of our guests loved everything! I can only imagine what they could do in restaurant if the food was this good and flavorful for 120 people on such short notice. So many people asked where the food was from so they can visit the restaurant and get more! I cannot express enough gratitude for the kind hospitality and delicious food service that The Southern Cafe provided. Truly, THANK YOU!!
