I lucked up on this spot perusing Uber eats. Very good and I will surely be back to try more dishes. Packaging was phenomenal! Great amount of food for price. The salmon, collards, and Mac were definitely tasty. Not heavy, tasted fresh and made with love. The orange flavor with the salmon was different it was good...salmon skin crispy but delightfully melt in your mouth it was so tender. The dirty rice!! Yassssssss I'm in love! The banana pudding was different. I am still making my mind up about it while eating the majority of it lol. It taste like someone accidentally knocked over the cinnamon seasoning in it and was like hey now work wit it Lol! It's good but I gotta figure out this cinnamon thang going on. read more

Southern Twang - Banana pudding... it's whipped to perfection with added cinnamon flavor that caught me by surprise. - Food Delivery Services Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Delivery was just a tad slow, but given weather and other obstacles, I'd call that a win. (Going back next day, their Grubhub page says they don't deliver to my address, I didn't notice that last night. I'll pick up in the future.) The food was magnificent. Had catfish that brought back memories of childhood, second solid win. Finished off with an order of Rose Mary's Peach Cobbler Eggrolls w/ Sweet Praline & Rum Cream Sauce - wish I'd ordered more. Exciting to find a new place and the girls liked their spice combinations. Enthusiastic thumbs up! read more

Southern Twang - Delicious Fried Catfish - Food Delivery Services Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Placed my order at 3:46 pm and requested a 5pm pickup. Order was not ready until 5:35 pm. Cajun Fried Chicken sandwich was huge, but the brioche bun was flat as a pancake. I didn't order collard greens, but tried them- sour and salty. Hard pass Mac & cheese was clotted together and the "melted cheese" on top was a thin skin that peeled off the top (see photo) The Holiday Yams had virtually no flavor. Not sweet at all. Did not even eat half of it. Cheddar Jalapeño Cornbread muffin fit nicely in the palm of my hand. $3? If you order anything and the address is 3517 N. Spulding, BEWARE. It's a black box building with a tiny pickup lobby for half a dozen "restaurants" that have no actual storefront. Will NOT return. read more

Alright. This is it. My search is over. My wild goose chase as a transplanted southerner in Chicago trying to find grits in this Midwestern winter has come to an end. This was a new place that came up on my Uber Eats. I've had a hard time finding southern inspired food in this city full of amazing food that actually had any heart. I ordered the shrimp and grits, which was an easy choice. I was so excited to even see it on a menu up here! Delivery was quick and came still warm. It came packaged neatly but in a cardboard/recycled material type container that probably isn't best for a dish with as much moisture as grits can have, and I moved the dish to a bowl. It was lined with parchment paper to keep it from seeping through which helped, but would have been better packaged in something a little sturdier. HOLY COW when I opened it though it smelled so good. It came with shrimp, andouille sausage, cheddar grits, and some peppers and onions. These are hands down the best grits I've had in Chicago and maybe the best ever (except for my dad's). This was a big portion, filling, and so flavorful. The shrimp were garlicky and delicious and I actually loved the addition of peppers and onions. I immediately recommended Southern Twang to my roommates and I can't wait to order again. Thank you for making this transplanted southerner incredibly happy. read more

Southern Twang - Shrimp and Cheddar Bay Garlic Battered Gulf Shrimp Cheese Grits w/ Andouille Chicken Sausage Sauted Veggies - Food Delivery Services Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I get to be the first review! I'm honored. This restaurant really blew my mind with the authentic taste of the south. I came into this meal with a hangover from the surprisingly easy break-up with 2020 and finished with zero hangover and a full, happy belly. The cheese grits with shrimp, andouille sausage and veggies was perfect. Literally can't stop eating it. I'm obsessed. Black eyed peas bc it's New Year's Day and this tradition I follow. Southern Twang offered me the ability to fulfill that tradition. Annie Mae's Souther Collard Greens. WHOOH! Packed with flavor and spice and everything nice. Peach. Cobbler.Eggrolls. Need I say more? Belgium waffle, well my roomate had that one. He liked it. The butter sauce it came with was a nice touch. And it looks pretty! Not pictured: Gulf Shrimp Po-Boy and Gumbo (12 oz) both were gobbled up too quick to get a pic. Do yourself a favor and give Southern Twang a try. Only thing, I would like this new company to be able to use their own delivery service because I don't want them to lose out on money and with these times we can all use some help! If you do order, use Grub Hub. read more

The food is decent and expensive. $8 for a small ass banana pudding, $6 for like 4oz of greens. The portions were too small for their price. I had the gumbo which was okay. The roux was thick and not stewed so the texture was a little off. The flavor was decent tho. Girlfriend got catfish po boy which she said was way too salty. Cinnamon beignets would have great potential if the inside was cooked more. Probably won't be having this place again; it's not worth it. Smash or pass? Pass read more

Let me state that part of my review is based solely off the fact that the employee who was either incompetent or illiterate or both caused me to waste an hour simply because he didn't realize my order was ready & it sat there because of this person. With that aside my problem with the food is it wasn't cheap yet the ingredients in said food was minuscule. The shrimp to bread ration in the po boys are comical & they may be 6 inches in length total. The French fries weren't seasoned leaving them tasteless. The lobster Mac n cheese were okay taste wise but when paired with the sauce tasted delicious but again the lobster is extremely minuscule. The fried peach cobbler was okay as well. In closing I'd stray away from these food "hubs" if possible. I get that it's because of covid but with so many moving parts something's bound to go wrong often & with a premium price on stingy food items I'd like to spend my hard earned dollars elsewhere. read more

THE SHRIMP AND GRITS ARE AMAZING!!!!!! If you are in the Avondale area; Please please order from Southern Twang. Thank you CheSa!!!!!!

Takeout from Southern Twang was good and bad. My husband's fried catfish was good (nicely cooked, according to him - crispy on the outside and soft inside, though not real big on flavor). He added on some fried shrimp and they were "okay." Aioli slaw on the side was decent. The bad part? I got the 12 oz. gumbo with an add-on of crab meat. I read mixed reviews of this dish - some people loved it, but some people reported that it was a huge mound of rice with a ladle-full of gumbo on top. I gambled on it, and lost. The 12 ounces consisted of 9 ounces of rice and 3 ounces of pasty, grey gumbo, totally lacking in the rich brown color of a proper Louisiana roux. Not only that, but it was completely bland - if I hadn't added the crab it wouldn't have had any flavor at all. I saw no sign of the usual hallmark of a good gumbo - the "trinity" of Louisiana cooking: bell pepper, onion and celery. And if they think that chicken andouille counts as Cajun food, they are seriously mistaken! Yuck! We got Banana Pudding for desert, and that was pretty good, so all was not lost. But there are much better places to order from when you need your Cajun food fix. read more

So my first visit here and I wanted to try my favorites! I order the cheddar grits with shrimp and chicken sausage, fried catfish, and collard greens. My son had the Mac and cheese and asparagus. (I dipped in his good of course) Everything was soooo good. It is on the expensive side but worth it. The food did not disappoint! Plus I didn't even finish all my food and I'm stuffed! read more

First time ordering but certainly not the last. Delivery was quick and food was efficiently packed. Fried chicken sandwich with fries, Mac and cheese, shrimp and andouille sausage with grits - all very flavorful, so delicious. I'm looking forward to trying other dishes! read more

Ordered a dinner, received half of what I ordered. I'm not sure if it's the restaurant or the Uber driver, but for the price & what I received it was ridiculous. Unfortunately I'll never order or go here again. read more

The food is delicious. I have had several things from their menu and they never disappoint. Support this business!!!

Had the shrimp and cheesy grits yesterday, it was delicious, had alot of depth of flavor, from the fresh sauteed veggies to the britney shrimp, all of the seasonings were spot on, for being served in a togo container the appearance was inviting and wanted me to dive in right away and I had no regrets!!!!! read more

Food was so good! The beignets were heavenly. The Sydney's pasta was so flavorful and the wings were perfect. I will be ordering from here again, and soon! read more

Absolutely amazing food. Being a Southern transplant, I've had a rough time finding quality comfort food, and they knocked it out of the damn ole park. Thank y'all! read more

Absolutely amazing, I ordered the catfish and lobster mac. The fish was seasoned and breaded very well. I can tell it was cooked in fresh oil. The fish really reminded me of a home cooked meal. The lobster mac was phenomenal. Also great portioning. The best in Chicago. read more

I got the shrimp and grits and it was wonderful! Generous portion sizes, great flavors, and the right texture/consistency for grits.
