Southern Chicago serves soul food from its spot on Wabash Avenue in the Near South Side. The biscuits and starters draw the most consistent praise from regulars, backed by a hospitality-forward service style that shows up in crowd feedback again and again. Entrees and pacing get more mixed reports, but the welcome itself is a constant.
The restaurant also turns into one of the neighborhood's popular reservations during Chicago's Restaurant Week, when it draws a noticeably heavier crowd than its usual pace.
