    Gpan! - The image shows a takeout container filled with fried chicken pieces coated in sauce, along with two biscuits at the top and a side of sauce in a plastic bag on the side. The food appears to be from Uncle Remus in Chicago, IL, known for its fried chicken and distinctive mild sauce.

    A Gpan hot and fresh out the fryer what more can you ask for on a Friday evening. Dont forget to order rolls and a extra large fry. It's a chicken spot nothing to fancy, but the food is worth the drive everytime!!!

    A woman in jeans and a black top is standing at a counter inside a restaurant, facing the digital menu screens above. The screens show food categories, deals, and menu items. The interior includes a glass partition behind the counter, with staff visible inside. The floor is wooden, and the ceiling has recessed lighting.

    So over time prices have gone up, I get it. As of this review they're charging $2+ per wing. Here is my issue: mini wings! I paid $12 for 4 wings and got 3.5 because one was super tiny. Some chicken shacks will compensate for the lack of size by adding an additional mini which is fair. Uncle Remus probably has the best sauce around so it's always a treat to have them but consistency is key. I don't like to feel cheated after spending so much for so little.

    Street View - The image shows a street view of Uncle Remus, a restaurant located in a brick building with large windows. There are parked cars along the street, including a black SUV and a dark-colored sedan. A streetlamp is illuminated, and a leafless tree is visible on the sidewalk. The background includes other buildings and signage, indicating an urban commercial area during early evening or dusk.

    You can't go wrong with Uncle Remus! Consistent product over the decades. Good taste and value. I live in the suburbs, but whenever I am in the area, I make sure to order a wing dinner to take home!

    Uncle Remus is always tasty. Their sweet, mild sauce is like liquid gold. I ate off of their food truck recently, so I did not visit a physical location, but it was fresh and fast! I also love the crisp of their chicken; you can't go wrong. The service was nice.

    This place has changed a lot since it was a hole in a wall where you didn't feel safe walking into. The food is still amazing. If you are looking for a hard fried chicken with good sauce this place is for you. This particular location has gone through a nice renovation and feels new. The service was quick and people were nice. It's good that they have started to update now allowing for online ordering. They are more than just wings but the sauce is what they are known for. Also the icing on the cake was just that. Their chocolate cake made me and my wife want to go back alone.

    Fried Chicken w/ Mild Sauce

    There's nothing much else to say about Uncle Remus that hasn't been said before. I have now been to all three of their locations and all I can say is consistency. They had excellent customer service at this location. They were very polite and got food done in the amount of time quoted. I ordered their G Pan special. You get 10 pieces of very delicious fried chicken covered in their mild sauce. It's a great deal for about $11. And then of course you also need to order some fries with mild sauce to get along with your chicken. The mild sauce is much sweeter than Harolds, but it doesn't over power the chicken. The chicken is perfectly fried, juicy and tasted very fresh. I've been coming to Uncle Remus for years and I don't intend in stopping anytime soon!

    Horrible customer service and chicken recooked, this is the 2nd bad experience there! Heading back now for a refund after work!

    A hit - The image shows a takeout container filled with fried chicken topped with barbecue sauce, alongside French fries, a soft bread roll, and some napkins. The food appears freshly prepared and is arranged in a casual manner, typical of fast-food or takeout meals.

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!!

The food was good, but a little bit on the expensive side. We ordered three one entree plates. They came with two sides and a muffin. My wife and son both ordered their fried chicken entree with Mac & cheese and yams, and I ordered their smothered pork chops with yams and collard greens. The fried chicken was good, Mac and cheese was ok, collard greens weren't the greatest. The yams were delicious and the smothered pork chops definitely hit the spot. The food overall was seasoned well, not under seasoned and most importantly not over seasoned. The gravy was really good and the pork chops were cooked perfectly. We also ordered their banana pudding. This one was just ok. Not sure if I'd order it again. We wanted peach cobbler but they were out. Next time we'll order that if it's available. My entire family enjoyed their meal and we will definitely be returning.

I chosen the $21.99 meal which is one entree, 3 sides and a dessert. Not bad, right? I waited about 5 minutes before my meal was packaged and handed to me. Should've taken that as a sign. Especially for soul food. Chicken and gravy - decent. The gravy was thick and tasty. Not salty thank the heavens. My issue with the entree was that you could tell the chicken had been sitting in the gravy too long. The crispiness was gone. Corn muffin was basic and small. Nothing special or out of the ordinary. The yams were an absolute no. Definitely canned yams made with no love. same for the collards. The Mac and cheese was alright but it reminds of of the Mac and cheese they serve as the kids table. Overall, for $24.39, the meal fell flat. The peace cobbler held together real well. While I enjoyed popping my head in, I will not be back.

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.
