“My name is Donna Jones, this is my first time going to the Soulfood dinner place and I will be back. Everything was cooked to the perfection. Peach Collin is very good. Five star cook thank you can’t add a picture because everything is gone.”
“Authentic Soulfood Kitchen: Pretty Damn Good Eats This spot, Authentic Soulfood Kitchen, brings a taste of the South right here to the South Side. The menu ain't huge, but it's got the classics: fried chicken, collard greens, mac and cheese, and that damn good cornbread. The food? Pretty solid. That chicken, crispy on the outside and juicy inside. The sides, especially the greens and mac, hit the spot. But sometimes, things can be a little off. Maybe the chicken's a tad dry, or the flavor's not quite as deep as you'd expect from real Southern cooking. Even with those little hiccups, Authentic Soulfood Kitchen is a decent spot to scratch that soul food itch. The portions are generous, and you won't break the bank. It's good for a casual, no-frills meal.”
“10 of 5 stars. Fish & Greens were superb. Fresh and good customer service. I’ll def be back”

“She has a beautiful spirit that translates right into the food. It was delicious and oh so comforting. I will be back”
“The fish is really good, cooked right, and not falling apart. The people in the phone wasn’t rude and answered all my questions. The macaroni and spaghetti was not good to me. The spaghetti noodles were harder than I’d like, the macaroni had no flavor. Thought it was going to be baked but look stove top. The place looks clean and they aren’t extremely expensive. It’s a overall 3 for me”
“The service was excellent lovee they energy but that food wasn’t so good at all the fish is delicious but the baked Mac cheese terrible it don’t have a taste to it no seasoning no pepper the greens was also plain taste like nothing it have a weird after taste like i don’t know I’m mad I spent 20$ on this”
“I order a side of Mac and cheese and please see picture below of what a side of Mac and cheese is for 6$ . I will always try to supper black own business but the price and quantity given was shocking , never in my life have have to spend 6$ for a side and get a small something like this .”
“I placed an order online for pickup. The screen said it would be ready at 5:48. I arrive at 6 pm and see a gentleman sitting in the lobby. When I came to the windows he claimed that he had just got my order. I drove all the way from 47th & the Dan Ryan to get my food! Stay away from this unprofessional place. No wonder the lobby is completely empty! Well, a nice representative called and said that my refund of $35.05 would be returned in two to three days! He lied to the lady and said he had a rush of orders; when he was seated looking at me when I walked through the door! They lost a potential customer for good!”
