Morrison’s Soul Food X Hasana’s Sweets By Sheila Morrison
Morrison’s Soul Food is a beloved South Side stop for homestyle comfort food, with regulars especially praising tender, flavorful rib tips, baked chicken, ham hocks with greens, generous mac and cheese, yams, and standout cornbread and sweets. Welcoming hospitality, Sunday traditions, and satisfying lunch deals make it inviting for families and couples, though peak times can bring long lines and delivery orders may take priority; consistency and seasoning have drawn occasional complaints.

“Drove by this spot couple times and decided to stop and give it a try. my girlfriend and I love soul food and it did not disappoint. we went in about 3-4 pm the service was fast no waiting. She had the baked chicken wit Mac and cheese and garlic mashed potatoes which was delicious the chicken wasnt dry and the juices was oozing out as she went in with a fork, full of flavor as well. The portions sides were so much and the two cornbreads is worth it. I had the hamhocks with greens and cornbred stuffing the bone was falling off the meat I was so tender I loved it mixed with the collard greens I was in heaven. Then we found out the had oxtails the lady gave us a sample to try and omg the n oxtails was so freaking good. Talking bout tender and flavorful we order a side of oxtails as well which was s blessing because they only serve them on Sundays so lucky us. And we finished off our meal with the biscoff banana pudding and all imma say is dont even think about GET It! Our experience was great I recommend yall try it out this place is a 10 out of 10 gem.
