Chef Daddy's

The first time I had food from here I ordered delivery. It came quickly and was hot upon arrival. I had the fried pork chops with macaroni and cheese and green beans and a slice of caramel cake. Everything was so delicious. The pork chops were well seasoned, the mac and cheese had just the right amount of cheese and the green beans tasted like how my grandma made them with white potatoes. The caramel cake was also good. The frosting was not too sweet and the cake was not dry. The cornbread was tasty as well and I am not a big cornbread fan but it was good. On a different occasion instead of delivery I went to the restaurant and placed an order for carryout. It's a small but cozy restaurant. It was a Sunday so they has turkey wings and dressing. I ordered that with mac and cheese and greens as my sides and of course a slice of caramel cake. I received my food rather quickly and the cashier was very nice. The turkey wing was so tender it fell off the bone. I enjoyed the dressing as well. (It wasn't "sweet dressing" like some places make. )The greens were a mix of collards and cabbage and they were seasoned perfectly to my liking . This dinner was delicious. I will be back to try other items on the menu.

Food is simply delicious, they may run out of portions but it's worth what ever else they can whip up in place of what side or main dish they ran out off.

The family and I love the friendly loving faces of chef daddy's always warm & welcoming environment The Food is excellent!!!! We have tried everything on the menu!l definitely give it a 10 out of 10 would recommend!!

After a friend had talked up this restaurant, I decided to check it out while on my way home from the suburbs. It's a small joint with a few tables, most taken by customers that were ordering takeaway.I ordered catfish with candied sweet potatoes and collards-cabbage mix. The catfish hit the spot. The collards-cabbage mix was nicely seasoned without going overboard. The sweet potatoes ẃere not bad, but there was an aftertaste that I couldn't pinpoint. Big ups for the savory cornbread.May make another pass-through at a later date. Will sample something else from the menu.

We were wanting some good soul food and stop in for lunch. The baked and smothered chicken was incredible. The greens were some of the best I've ever had! Creamy Mac and cheese and great spaghetti. We will be back.

Chef Daddy's don't never miss! I just came here to say that. but they want me to do 85 characters didn't know I needed 85 characters to say Chef Daddy's got a whole bomb!

I really wanted to like this place, but was disappointed.The Pros: Greens were good, pop was cheap and ice cold, flavor of bbq beef short ribs had potential. Prices were ok. The Cons: the catfish was inedible because it was cooked to a crisp! It was more like a chip than a piece of catfish. They should never cook this, or get meatier pieces and slash the cook time. The shortribs were tough and should have been placed in the pressure cooker or oven until tender. That is an expensive piece of meat, and it should be cooked until tender. The flavors were ok. Lastly, the Carmel cake is a no for me. It actually tasted like cornbread with caramel on it (nothing like angelicas). That's cool if you like that kind of thing.Most of the staff wore masks, but one had his all the down and was talking while making a plate.

Some of the better soul food offerings in Chicago, located in the westside neighborhood. This place has been vetted by my grandma (so you know it's good). This is a great spot to go when you're craving a home cooked meal sans the cooking at home part. The catfish dinner is my personal go-to and it comes with two sides and a piece of cornbread. You really can't go wrong with any of them as you have your pick of greens, string beans, candied yams, mash potatoes, great northerns etc. Sunday dinner just got a whole lot easier
