Daley’s Restaurant

Slap yo mama delicious home made cooking that brings you back to your childhood memories of cooking done right. This was next chef level cooking done right. We were a party of four and we had an array of things to eat and everything was amazing. The portions were Fred Flintstone size. Just remarkable food from the liver and onions, fried catfish, salmon patties, collard greens and candy yams. The star of the show was the chicken noodle soup is. It was creamy with big chunks of chicken and the flavor was off the chain. I would go back for the soup alone. Our wait staff was on top of our every need and she was friendly. The restaurant is huge and it has some historic history because it's a place that the politicians frequent. Definitely will be back!

The breakfast is so good!! I ordered the Southside skillet with a biscuit, and my goodness everything tastes so fresh. You can tell the biscuits were made from scratch, very fluffy and warm, and made with a lot of love. The service was good. Our waitress was friendly and kind. I wasn't fond of having to go to the front and pay because nobody showed up to take the ticket for almost 10 minutes. Other than that, my experience here was great!Overall ratings: South side skillet 5/5Service 4/5

First time here the food was plenty I order pancakes,egg whites, grits and steak with was delicious I'm typically not a a steak person but sense it was a special occasion with my Husband Why not' he recommended we go to this restaurant to my surprise the food was great we will return

I try to take my daughter to other breakfast spots but she love Daley's. From the hot chocolate to the breakfast sandwich. Our waitress Karen gave us a Five Star customer service experience which makes all the difference.

One of my good friends treat me here for a belated birthday brunch. Located on the Southside of Chicago. We were lucky to quickly be seated at a table. The server came over to our table with a pitcher of water. Filled our glasses up with some cold iced water and was ready to take our order. Now this is what I call fast service. I heard this place started off as a small diner across the street. It has now grown and has a spacious dining area. I ordered the spicy Denver Skillet, diced hot links and ham with green peppers, which came with oninons and topped with pepperjack cheese. It had just enough kick of spice to it. Very tasty and well-seasoned with 2 slices of toast. My friend ordered their famous Southside Skillet, homemade turkey sausage, green peppers, onions topped with cheddar cheese and a biscuit. The food, experience, ambience, prices of the food, and great customer service. Will always keep customers coming back for more.

Stopped here for breakfast on my way leaving Chicago, and I really enjoyed this place!1. The restaurant was clean, which is always a plus! It was really spacious, so I wouldn't be too afraid to come on a weekend when breakfast is likely to be busy. Also, the historical paintings and prints on the walls really set the comfortable, home style vibes for this historically black restaurant. 2. The service is great and intimate. Everyone was super sweet, they were engaging with us like old friends and not just as customers. I can tell this place is use to getting a lot of repeat customers, and I'm sure most of the community is like family to them.3. Food was delicious of course! I was really happy to have my food come out hot and exactly how it wanted it. It came out quick too, which is always a huge plus ! Also, the menu is massive! There were so many great breakfast/brunch options and I wanted to try them all!I definitely will return here on my next visit!

Gotta tell ya, been trying to come here for a while. The parking is iffy. I came during the week in the morning and was served right away. Gotta say it's very spacious. HOWEVER, in spite of it hardly being no one there, my guest and i waited almost an hr for food. The server was.phenomenal. but the wait on the food was to long. That said, it was some of the best catfish I've had in a long time. This was its saving grace. My guest thoroughly enjoyed his meal as well. Biscuit was large and fluffy. The portions were HIGE. Who eats all that food........wow!All in all...outside of the wait, the server and food was very very worth it.

Great spot for breakfast. It's difficult finding a place with great coffee and great food, this place has achieved that! Portions are massive so bring your appetite I will be back, so many great items on the menu.

When I think about a good Black owned establishment - I think Daley's! Me and my wife went on a Saturday morning and were able to be sat immediately. The food was amazing and the steak skillet was it was a huge portion also. All of the food we ordered was great! It felt like home and very cozy on the inside. While we ate, 80's and 90's R&B music played and it was great. This is a place I will definitely recommend to family and friends who come to town for a quality Black owned experience.

I visited Daleys with a group of around 10 people, as we often do on Saturdays after our group sessions. We waited about 12 minutes to be seated, which was understandable given our large group and the need to set up tables. Once seated, our waitress, an older woman who was soft-spoken, took our drink orders. While she was kind and helpful, she seemed overwhelmed by our group size, as we had to repeat our orders multiple times. I ordered a build-your-own skillet with veggies and egg whites, along with a side of catfish, which I was willing to pay extra for. However, the catfish was not brought with meal, and instead, there was ground beef or turkey in my skillet, which was disappointing as a pescatarian/vegetarian. I did have to wait about about 10 more minutes for them to bring the fish out and sent my other skillet back telling them that I no longer wanted it anymore since it included the meat in it, which I specifically asked for not to be in it. The issue was promptly resolved, and the catfish was removed from our bill. Unfortunately, I never received the biscuits that were supposed to come with my meal. Overall, while Daleys is a great place to dine, I don't recommend it for large parties unless they have multiple waitstaff available. My first visit was better than this one. I suggest keeping your meal simple to avoid complications, especially if you have dietary restrictions. Despite the issues, the decor is lovely, with portraits of famous African-Americans adorning the walls, and the ambience is inviting. If I return, it will likely be with a smaller group, no more than four people.
