“My friends and I came into town and received several recommendations to try Truffle Chicago for the vibes and great food. We were the first to arrive and glad we did - the restaurant quickly filled with hungry patrons. The food was magnificent and freshly cooked to order. We tried the salmon and grits, chicken and waffles and French toast. We participated in the BYOB and got a yummy pineapple chase to indulge. Would highly recommend Truffle for an easy brunch with top tier vibes and service. Ask for CK - the best service!”
“Our group sat at the bar and Paris was our bartender. She took very good care of us the whole night. From drinks to food. Everything was a vibe. 10/10 recommend. Reservation strongly recommended and please be punctual.”
“The vibes and services was grade A. The food packed with flavor. We definitely will recommend and be back.”
“First time there and didn’t know that it’s best to make a reservation. We ordered to go and sauces on the side. It’s really a small restaurant but stays full with patrons. They txt you when your order is ready but they young lady that took our order seen us sitting on the bench at the bus stop brought our food to us. When we got to the hotel I was a little upset to see that the sweet potatoes I ordered were replaced with Mac n cheese (I’m not a fan). The chicken was good I ordered buffalo and jerk sauce and the collard greens were chopped up and I thought were not going to be good but they were delicious too. Oh and the $5 dollar honey cornbread was also good. Four stars are because of my meal not being what I ordered. The young lady taking the orders was very nice as well.”
“No no no smh food came out luke warm and it wasn’t even that many people there. Oysters were not charbroiled. Mac needed seasoning, mash was dry. Chicken wasn’t seasoned. My girl got sick afterwards. The place was tiny with 1 bathroom for the whole restaurant. The menu has potential but they need better cooks if they gone be charging what they charging in there.”
“We had a party of seven, and everything was amazing! We were seated right away, and our food came out very quickly. Everything was fresh, hot, and absolutely delicious. We even drove all the way from Indianapolis, and it was definitely worth the trip. Great food, fast service, and a wonderful experience. We’ll definitely be back!”
“Waitress Teiana is wonderful, she’s very pleasant and patient.”
“Ari and Kamari deserve a raise!! I enjoyed every moment of their service and they made our welcome to Chicago very pleasant. Please keep them around!!”
