The SoulFood Lounge 2

Thoroughly enjoyed the food here. Went with a friend and we decided to order 3 separate combo entrees each. The nice, little corner location paired with the dj added to the experience.

To say my experience at the Soul Food Lounge 2 was exceptional is an understatement.

I was promptly greeted upon entry, and was seated at the exact time of my reservation.

Now lets get into the menu...there were so many great options to choose from and because there were, I settled for the "Grand Tasting" that let you pick three entrees with a choice of wine or dessert, and unlimited refills of their fresh made lemonades, and like the food options there where also as many lemonade options as well, my server was nice enough to bring me a flight of lemonades to try, I settled on the Hibiscus. For the entrees I went with the Dominican Coconut Catfish, Tuscany Cream Surf & Turf, Argentinean Chimichuri Pot Roast, and for desert the Peach Cobbler Pound Cake w/ a scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream.

This intimate bistro is great for date night, small groups, or just a party of 1, like myself. The food was amazing and the service was fantastic!

Other notable mentions, Reservations are Required, Dining limit is 90 minutes, Parking is limited, they also had live music, so a good time is sure to be had. In closing...as I always say try it for yourself. My P.O.V. you wont be disappointed!

Let's start with the stars of the show: the Tuscany Mac and Crème Surf and Turf, and the Chinese Orange Fried Chicken. They were phenomenal. Cooked to perfection, filled with meat, and hearty portions that left me more than satisfied. And yes, the leftovers were so good, they made for a tasty lunch the next day.

The infused lemonades? Absolutely refreshing and bursting with flavor. You can tell they're crafted with care, not from some cheap mix.

Service-wise, SoulFood Lounge 2 gets a thumbs up. Despite our tardiness, they hustled to get us seated in under 10 minutes. But fair warning – this place gets busy, especially on weekends, so don't push your luck with late arrivals. Reservations are definitely recommended.

As for the ambiance, it hits the spot. It's exactly what Hale Street needed – a cozy vibe that's perfect for date nights, family dinners, or grabbing a bite to-go. Plus, the energy in the air is contagious, making for a memorable dining experience.

The SoulFood Lounge 2 delivers on its promise of great food, great service, and a great time. It's a top pick for anyone looking to indulge in some soulful cuisine. Can't wait to swing by again on my next visit to Chicago.

Another outstanding location Excellent Food, smooth Ambiance, and Good customer service. This was our first time to the south location and it didn't disappoint either. We did the sampler again because the menu is different from the west side location. It was nice to experience black excellence in black history month for my wife's Birthday. I would recommend either location parking friendly as well.
