    Fried fish over rice so so good with four jumbo shrimp
    James M.

    The food was wonderful I will recommend anyone that looking for soul food in the Chicago area love it

    Appetizers - BBQ Jerk wings, New Orleans Shrimp, and Fried Green Tomatoes
    Rachel H.

    My family is from Lawndale and my husband grew up in North Lawndale and this business is such a great asset to the Lawndale community. Decided to stop in with my husband just for a quick drink and appetizers at the bar. When we first walked in we were greeted professionally and sweetly (that Auntie feel). We did not have a reservation and she was going to seat us regardless, but we opted to sit at the bar because at this point I just wanted to check it out and not have a full dining experience because I had cooked dinner. My husband has been telling me about this place and how he's been hearing great things about the establishment so I was excited to experience it and I'm glad I did! The food, appetizers we ordered were excellent! I mean really really good. We ordered the bbq jerk wings, New Orleans shrimp and the fried green tomatoes. All excellent! The wings were not that jerk hot but just right and full of flavor with that wonderful grill taste to them. I don't even really like fried green tomatoes and always thought they were over hyped - not here!! They were delicious!!! My favorite dish thus far. Nicely breaded/seasoned and so fresh, plump and juicy. I've had them before in New Orleans and they were flat and tasteless. You can tell the tomatoes they use here are nice and fresh/firm. The drinks were delicious too. Not just good but also pretty. These girls are not just bartenders, they're mixologists and know how to make good and pretty drinks. I love a craft cocktail!' I had the "Whew Chile" and my husband ordered the "Polk Street" the whew chile was a fresh margarita and whew chile!! After two I was nice and toasty literally saying "whew Chile" so the drinks name is definitely appropriate..lol! The service was great for us at the bar. The young lady making our drinks and serving us I believe name was Cherish and this young lady was awesome!! She has a very sweet, hospitable personality that will take her far. She's the type of person when you go out and sit at a bar you want her to be there behind it. Price point is good and comparable to most fine dining experiences, and the inside is really nice. I really do pray Soulé continues to do exceptionally well and have great longevity because it felt so good to be able to eat, drink and have a wonderful, safe time in my community. If I can pay $300 to dine for two at Rosebud downtown, I can pay that same amount to dine here and have just as great of time and eat just as good of food. Like the terminator I'll be back....

    Cajun salmon bites
    Onesaeed O.

    Either Somebody from DownSouth cooks the food and flies it up here daily or someone here has some good(*real good) southern style cuisine training(*they cook like my momma) & I just recently visited South Carolina and the food here is tasting neck & neck with what I was eating down there...& these are the portion sizes that big boned people like me love (if you like to eat #ComeGetIt)...& man oh man the music playing throughout the place not only complements the atmosphere it makes you feel like your a grandmas Sunday dinner & partying with the family...I'm placing Soule in my top 3 restaurants(& not only of chicago) categories I will be a recurring customer...we had the Cajon Salmon bites, Fried salmon jerk pasta, southern fish & grits, cornbread(was do greedy I ate the cornbread before I could get a picture, plus banana pudding to go(2) with Soule punch to drink

    Jerk Salmon with potatoes
    Dannielle C.

    Good food and service! We loved everything we ordered. The fish was perfect! That jerk salmon with potatoes was yummy. Their side dishes were very good, with the exception of the greens. The green were okay enough to try them yourself. They were just too salty for my tastebuds. The drinks were tasty! The restaurant was clean. I didn't get to check out the bathrooms here but the place was clean so I didn't worry about it. Try everything I am sure you won't be disappointed.

    Went to Soul Food Lounge for a birthday dinner. The space is pretty small and every seat was taken,…read moreso there is really nowhere to wait if you do not have reservations. Definitely book ahead. We all ordered the Grand Tasting, which lets you try three entrees plus a beverage. It was so much food but everything was delicious. I had the short rib, fried chicken, and catfish, each with different sides. The only thing I did not really care for was the dressing. They also had live entertainment, which made the vibe even better. Customer service was just okay, but I would still recommend it. I definitely want to try their other location since I have heard the menu is different.

Because it was a busy holiday we had a reservation made for 1:30 pm, and of course my friend group was running a little late but they were so friendly and accommodating. There was a 90 minute time limit to eat due to how busy the day was, but they were so kind to start the clock after everyone in our party showed up. Now for the good stuff! The food? Phenomenal! On the menu they have a special called the Grand Tasting where you can get 3 sampler entrees and a free glass of champagne or wine (red or white), all for $69. Everyone in my group decided to get this deal so we could all sample one another's food. I ordered the Tuffle Lobster Mac and Cheese, The Carolina Creamy Shrimp and Grits, and the Sicilian Sriracha Chicken Parmigiana. Everything was fantastic, so incredibly delicious. For the entrees to be samples they were a pretty decent size. The shrimp and grits and the Mac and cheese were absolutely perfect 10/10. I wish there was a location in the suburbs I would go here all the time! Huge thank you to the staff for their great hospitality. I almost forgot to mention that this place has live music, which definitely helps create an enjoyable vibe while you're dining. This place is a must try!!

On a random Thursday, my business partner and I decided to grab lunch/happy hour to catch up. I specifically wanted to support a Black-owned business, and she instantly said, "Soul Vibez." As a frequent TikTok viewer, I was excited to finally try it. We arrived right when they opened at 1 PM and were seated in a small cozy booth in the back. Our server came over cheerful and welcoming, asking if we'd had a chance to look at the menu. I told her it was my first time, and she smiled even bigger, sharing all her favorite drinks and how to get the best value. We decided on a tequila flight (blueberry, leche, and strawberry). She headed straight to the bar to make them herself and when I tell you EVERY drink was strong, fresh, and flavorful... I loved it! My business partner then whispered, "You know she's the owner, right?" I said, "No way!" She was so kind, down-to-earth, and personable. When she came back, she said, "Let's start with some appetizers," and recommended her favorites. We went with the deviled eggs with lobster bites and the jerk chicken egg rolls and they did NOT disappoint. Every bite was fresh and delicious. For our entrees, she again highlighted the top sellers and her personal favorites. We ordered the blackened catfish and the stuffed salmon. It didn't take long to come out, and when it did, it was beautifully presented and piping hot. Everything tasted incredible, and the service was consistent, fast, and genuine. The fact that the owner was our server made the experience even more special. I would've never known if my business partner hadn't told me. When we acknowledged it, she just smiled bright and said, "Thank you so much for being here and choosing us." I immediately replied, "See you soon, sis!" I will definitely be back. Y'all go check them out you won't be disappointed!

Soul vibes is the place!!! definitely worth more great reviews might add the Cocktails are definitely 10/10 food always hot and consistent. I love the catfish mac & cheese sweet potatoes . Lamb chops are also good tender flavorful , red beans and rice is so good. Thanked me later. Ask for a Shay she's a jack of all trades. Definitely deserve a raise.

They were playing this really static filled the TV and I have no idea how they can work with that in the background all day lol But the service was friendly and kind! We tried the hot honey, chicken sandwich, waffle, fries, mac & cheese, and the chicken tenders with the corn muffin. OK, first of all, the mac & cheese is outstanding?? Genuinely so flavorful and had that great crispy cheese char on top- loved it. I would go back just for that. The cornbread??? I don't know what they are putting on top of that, but they are absolutely drenching it in some insanely good honey?? I could swim in it and I want it again The chicken tenders were super flavorful and very well seasoned. Everything here is really well seasoned OK you can tell that this isn't made by white people lol. The meat was really tender, and the outside was crispy. I didn't have the sandwich, but it looked tasty and very spicy. The waffle fries were fine, but honestly a skip. Overall, really glad I tried it! I can see why people love it and I'm excited to check out the Lakeview location!

She told me to "take your time." When I was finally ready to order (around 5:50), I was told they stop taking orders at 5:45. What made this frustrating is that I was clearly standing there the entire time, and instead of giving me a heads-up or trying to accommodate me, I was just turned away. That lack of communication and customer service is disappointing. Unfortunately, I won't be supporting this restaurant again.
