St Rest No 2 Country Kitchen

It’s unfortunately, one of a very few places to have a decent sit-​down breakfast in the area. I get the liver and onions and always enjoy myself. The waitstaff is very kind and attentive. I’ll keep going back until/​unless I have a bad experience there (and I don’t see that happening).

I love the food here. The customer service isn’t the best but they aren’t extremely rude either. I can over look that part because the candied yams and Mac&cheese are to die for. I just wish it wasn’t 15 $ for a plate. But I go when I have the money. :) yummm

Classic soul food at a great price. I had a whole meal, but the only thing I remember are those tasty greens and cornbread! Everything there looked and smelled delicious so you can’t go wrong coming here.

My pot roast was dry and tough, side orders mediocre. I would give the food zero stars if possible, the one star that I have is for the great wait staff, very nice…

um jesus take the wheel! o_​o! thee worst! greasy greasy did i say greasy??? food layout and appearance awful! prices for quality a katt williams joke! no way jose… omg! it was awful! (but they do kindly ask you on the way out on a sign on the door if you are looking for good church home to contact them! jesus wept)

The service here is wonderful and friendly. This place gets packed on Sundays, and the restaurant is cafeteria-​style — you point out what you want to eat/​try out, and they charge you per item at the end. They even had sweet tea, a good concoction, so I was pretty excited for that. I particularly liked the baked chicken (the skin is quite nice) and it’s juicy; the collared greens? A must have! The smothered porkchop and the meatloaf were just okay; so was the cornbread as it was more on the drier side and less sweet. A tight squeeze of a parking, but if you just want some baked chicken, collared greens, and sweet tea, check this place out if you’re in the area.

There was a cockroach on the counter at this restaurant yesterday afternoon… Not far from my take out food mind you. Won’t be going here anymore!!! They didn’t know they served the wrong person. I’m a RN and I have reported this to the board of health.

Solid soul food, solid with the word. When in Tuley Park, pay a visit here for cafeteria-​style chicken or fish, greens, and yammers.

The customer service is good but the food… not so much. Over soaked in grease, and I’ve witnessed a server drop a pen in the food and left it there for a good 5 minutes quite unsanitary don’t ya think

While driving through the Chatham neighborhood I craved a breakfast one afternoon. I was literally stopped in traffic facing eastbound on 87^th Street. I glanced to my right and the chef of St. Rest #2 was literally waving me in. I lowered the window and said «You all serve breakfast?» Without hesitation he confirmed and guiding me into the parking lot.
I ordered the build it yourself omelet with turkey sausage and green peppers. A nice size side of hashbrows and homemade biscuits. My buddy had the grits with his omelet and I manage to swipe a few samples.
I never really had mind blowing grits before until I walked into St Rest #2, I almost didn’t feel guilty eating them. Their turkey sausage was superb, a little crust action shield locking in the flavor until you take that first bite. Perhaps the Captain America of turkey sausage I might add.
The staff was extremely friendly and the chef actually chatted with me for a few to check up on my experience. Tina our server was polite and knowledgeable I would go back again just for her to pour me coffee.
There is an incredible buffet lunch spread including fried chicken, fried catfish, pork chops, veggies and pretty much everything to feed your soul.

Best soul food on the south side! The food is great and the service is second-​to-​none! I love the short ribs, and I find it hard to walk pass deserts without getting two or three for the week. The food is always fresh and I have NEVER been disappointed! Would recommend to anyone who like good home-​cooking. Extremely safe and they have off-​street parking.

St. Rest #2 is one of our favorite places for Saturday breakfast or Sunday after church dinner. The breakfast menu is fresh and tasty with generous portions. The dinner menu has a good variety of entrees with the fried breaded catfish being my personal favorite.

Yes! St. Rest No.2 serves good Soul Food. The servers are attentive. The meats are good, the sides are good, the cakes, and pies are good. It’s one of my favorite Soul Food restaurants in Chicago. I highly recomend St.Rest. The Fried chicken is good, the BAKED, and Fried Catfish is good, their meatloaf is great, and their smothered pork chops are my favorite. I’ve never had a bad meal at St. Rest, and I used to pass this place all the time and pay no attention to it.

St Rest # 2 has a modest appearance from the outside: it’s a place that you may have driven past numerous times without noticing. It sits on 87^th street, nestled between other stores, and across from a car wash and strip mall. However, once you give St. Rest #2 a try, you will come back again… and again! Service is good; the server helps you along with your choices. Another staff person seats you once you have paid for your meal, and then you are served shortly thereafter. The décor is of a modest diner. Simple, yet clean, and comfortable. The food is absolutely soul-​food heaven! Mac’ and Cheese, collard greens, cabbage, mashed potatoes and gravy, corn bread, etc. The meat selections include baked, fried or smothered chicken, fried or baked catfish, ox tails, and short ribs. I tried the smothered pork chops (I got two, of course!) cabbage, mashed ‘taters, and grabbed some peach cobbler for dessert. Everything was delicious — I felt like I was having dinner at my grandparents. Price is very reasonable too, which is a bonus. St. Rest # 2’s hours are accommodating (open until 8 or so), and carry out is a snap — you’re in and out in 5 minutes. South siders, support this local business. Heck, Chicagoans hankering for some good Southern cuisine, come check it out. St Rest # 2 offers great food and service at great price!
