- AAndreChicago / Illinois •1 review5.0Dined on Mar 2, 2025As a first timer I was highly impressed by the Customer Service, we were seated right away, and the wait staff wasted no time with getting water to the table and then asked if we wanted appetizers right off the bat. Once we made our order the food was prepared and brought to the table faster than I expected. The Food was outstanding, I was pleasantly surprised at how good the entrees where and then the main meal was THE BOMB!!! We'll definitely be back.More infoSoulé to SouléPrice: Moderate• Soul food• West Town•4.5
