BJ's Market & Bakery

BJ's never disappoints! My family has supported them for years, even when the original owner had the restaurant in Pullman. The food is flavorful, tender and appetizing. There is always a variety filled menu to satisfy all tastes. Fav: baked chicken and mustard fried catfish. Not sure if they still make turkey tips, yet those were delicious too! CON: Mac&chz and candied yam recipe could use a makeover. Needs to be more homemade. It's cool to eat when you want a taste, but it's not mama's. All green veggies are delicious, so that's a PRO! Note: the cashier didn't know that GrubHub takes orders for takeout via Yelp. When I arrived and said my name, she denied my order, even though I had a confirmation number and showed her my screen receipt. Her coworker had to correct her and show her where the orders process at a secondary computer.

BJs is one of the last reliable soul food restaurants on the South Side of Chicago.Unfortunately, it's recently become carry out only, and moved to a far south side location. In short- good food, but not particularly convenient.

This the second time I at BJ market it is not the same everytime. The bbq is very tasty. The food is good. Glad they survived the pandemic.

BJ's Market 1737 E 95th St, Chicago, IL 60617 I ordered a ¼ White Chicken, with 2 sides. First of all, I've ordered a ¼ White several times, from various places and this is waaaaay below the amount for a ¼ White. Google a picture of a ¼ White Roasted Chicken compared to my photo, you'll see what I mean. Also, it looks like someone tore pieces off of a Rotisserie Chicken and placed it in a to go container. Also, look at the color of the Chicken, to me it looks very Gray, and the skin was not crispy at ALL! VERY rubbery GROSS! The collard greens were VERY under seasoned, & the sweet potatoes were CLEARLY out of a can. They FORCE you to buy waaay more sides than what you need or want. Which is CRAZY considering that the size and the Quality of the main entree is NOT properly COOKED & INSANELY SMALL!!! You NEED to do better. If the cooks in your restaurant have Never cooked professionally before, then you need to hire people who have.

The restaurant is take out only but the staff are always polite and the line moves pretty quickly even when they're busy. The food is always good. We have never been disappointed with anything we ordered. Our favorites are the beef ribs and the smothered chicken. We also love their macaroni and cheese and their yams. The food is always hot and fresh and tastes homemade.

EVERYTHING is trash. They call it Dressing but it's really stuffing. Everything else had no taste at all. They need Chef Ramsey in that mf

Well I went too the BJ Market on Stony Island Avenue in the 80s. What has this place come too... I could not believe the Crap they call food being served ... as I looked at the variety of food, being served. The dressing was disgusting I'm sure it was made from the box. The mash potatoes were really good so was broccoli the (dried up chicken breast) based in a broth to maintain some moisture very dry .The peach cobbler was terrible. Apparently people don't know that cinnamon nutmeg and allspice goes in peach and apple cobbler or pies...But I will say the young ladies that waited on me were funny as hell I could not stop laughing. They knew there food was not up too par. SadSCM

The restaurant staff was very polite and kind but I ordered smothered chicken yams cornbread dressing, baked, macaroni, and cheese but once I made it home, the chicken was still bleeding in the inside and when I called no one answered the phone

I have followed the food of owner and chef BJ, since he left Wasburne Culinary Institute over 30 years ago, and I have patronized all of BJ'S eateries--the Mansion in the Pullman Community, the now closed markets on So. Stony Island and 7900 So. Racine and the market now located in the 95th Street Shopping Mall. I frequently stopped by BJ's Market for inexpensive take out meals in past years. I was never dissatisfied. But this changed the Saturday before this past January 1--holiday.This location had been closed, but it is now open Thursday through the weekend.I dropped by for a carry out meal of short ribs of beef with two sidès--mixed greens, macaroni, and cheese. The meal was without any real seasoning or taste, but I ate it because it was supposed to be a holiday meal. I also bought sweet potatoes and a peach cobbler dessert. The peach pie dessert was the greatest problem-- when I opened the container in which it was packed, I found it was some kind of uncooked crust with--I think peaches. This was the worst dessert I have ever eaten. It looked like wet bread with no sweet syrup and only small pieces of fruit. What a disappointment-- I paid $36.00 for the entire meal.I thought about taking the uneaten dessert in its container, back to BJ's after the holiday for a refund this week, but I decided I would let it go.I don't care for surprises, so I won't be buying anything else from BJ's Market--I am very disappointed about my decision because there aren't enough restaurants to patronize in my Southside community, and BJ's food was always of good quality and tasty!

Placed a catering order for Thanksgiving, had me and fiance and others standing outside in the cold for over an hour! Then finally make it inside and order still isn't ready! I also asked for my food to be prepared cold and they prepared it hot. This place has really gone down they probably lost alot of business because they down sized the restaurant. Maybe new owners because this place use to be so much better. This will be the last order I ever place with them.
