My favorite breakfast spot in all of Chicago!!! Amazing food, service and just beautiful all around. Check it out!!

Another great breakfast and brunch place to go with your friends. They always have theme cuisine so you never know what you’ll be getting into lol. I love their waffles!!
Batter & Berries
If you’re ever in the mood for some southern cuisine, Cleo’s is the place to go!!! Some of the best catfish I have ever had!! Can’t want to go again!

There is always be a debate in the city on you has the best chicken between 2 restaurants. Harold’s has always be my number 1 for an along time. The chicken with lemon pepper and a lot of mild sauce on it is too good to miss out on. Check them out!!
Harold's Chicken Shack
The second best (in my opinion lol) for fried chicken goes too….Uncle Remus. Even though Harold’s will always have my heart, I would be lying to you and myself if I didn’t say that Uncle Remus is good!! Check both restaurants out and make the compari...
Uncle Remus Saucy Fried Chicken
The BEST pizza hand down in Chicago. From movie night to late night munchies, Italian Fiesta will never disappoint you!!
Italian Fiesta Pizzeria
Every craving some Jamaican style food…Check out Just Jerk Cafe!!! Hands down one of the best jerk spot in the whole city. If you stop by, make sure you try the jerk Mac and cheese🤤(my favorite)
