Three Chefs Restaurant

That was one delicious smothered pork chop! Great food & service!

I am sending flowers to my former co-​worker that introduced me to this place. Three Chefs is the BOMB. When I worked up the street I came here for lunch at least once a week. Look the gumbo is some of the best gumbo I have ever had. Seriously I think the only other gumbo that was better was in New Orleans. I dream about this gumbo that’s how serious it is. When I am not here for lunch I come for breakfast. Great breakfast food and not super expensive. My favorite is the steak and eggs. Now the place is not super fancy but the service is good and the food is good. On a Sunday you can catch people stopping in from church, workers on their lunch break, neighborhood folks out to brunch and developers taking in the neighborhood. All in all a great place.

A good breakfast this morning while reading the morning news — great waiters and waitresses– stop in if you’re in the neighborhood — thanks for making me feel so welcome

When I first came here I was excited to find this hidden gem the service, the food and the other customers were great! I couldn’t stop talking about the place so much so I brought two of my daughters to try out the great food and thick bacon… I was shocked because this was my third visit and the food was just passable and if this had been my first visit I wouldn’t have been back at all, but because of my previous visits I figured it had to be a new cook or a bad day for the regular cook. I went back and it was how I first remembered it and I went back again and the food was still good! It was so good the last time I went I invited my sister to come with me and enjoy the taste of their crisp bacon… she not I were disappointed even though the heat was off in the restaurant that day. I swear I didn’t mind because that was the fastest I had ever been served or seated. That’s another thing it’s a small place and it does stay packed by regular and new customers alike! I went into 12÷06÷16 and was rather disappointed because my eggs were brown around the edges (I ordered over easy) my grits were thick and my bacon although it was cooked just right had a funny aftertaste that I didn’t like but I ate anyway because well I was hungry and I had already 25 minutes for meal. The young man although very nice kept calling me Sir and no I wasn’t all done up but I clearly look like a woman it didn’t bother me the first couple of times but come on now… were you trying to make a joke!!!
I won’t say I won’t be back but it’s not to many times you get to have a do over with my money or tastebuds!!!
I say to anyone give them a chance when they are good they are great but when they are off well it’s disappointing!
One last thought I did tell the young man I wasn’t happy with my meal and I even asked was there another cook… he kinda just shrugged his shoulders and said Sorry!!!
I hope you get a chance to…
ENJOY!!!

Keeps getting better. $ 9.35 for two HUGE breaded pork chops, eggs & potatoes. How can they serve this much (great) food at this price?

BLACK OWNED BUSINESS
I had Smothered pork chops & Fried green tomatoes. My friend had the Gumbo.
Food was amazing!
Chops were well season & tender, tomatoes were fresh.
I will definitely be back.
Would love to try they stuffed catfish and peach cobbler French toast.

I really enjoy the food here on my previous visit, however today I arrived at 2:10 pm on 11/​14/​2015 and I was told that the cook is on break and I could wait if I would like and I did wait only to be told when seated that they usually take their breaks at the end of the day and when asked could we eat was told the restaurant would be closed then and me and my wife was asked to leave and politely escorted to the door. In my shock I couldn’t believe this was happening therfore we left when all I wanted to do was support black business I’ll never go back to this poorly managed place hope you have a better experience make sure to call ahead to see if the chef is on break…

This place is amazing! I had steak and eggs and my sister had an omelette! The food was incredible and the service was fast and friendly! Truly a diamond in the ruff!

This restaurant has a very local restaurant feel. The service makes you feel right at home where all the ladies greet you with pleasant smiles. I had the sweet potato pancakes and corned beef hash. I was excited because the hash was authentic, not that «alpo» canned stuff that some places serve. The sweet potato pancakes had the potato diced into the buttermilk pancake which provided a different flavor profile that I wasn’t expecting.

I went to Three Chefs restaurant about two weeks ago. I ordered a large Seafood Gumbo. It tasted so good. I will take my boyfriend out for breakfast or lunch one day. And I will mention this restaurant to my friends who live in the south side. Thumbs up!

Excellent soul food breakfast. Chicken and waffles, pancakes, salmon croquets, I’ve tried them all in one sitting at this restaurant. I was impressed with the chicken, I mean, it was good. The pancakes and waffle are a must, light, fluffy and great tasting. However with food this good you need a place with space and this place needs to expand, but other than that it was a very very good food experience.

OK, let me start by saying I had to visit Three Chefs twice because the FIRST time, I waited an HOUR for a «to Go» order. I had to leave… stuff to do. Anyway, the 2^nd visit was different. I think the staff was waiting/​looking for me. I was taken care of «quite quickly». I kinda ordered TOO much… to eat. I didn’t know what I was doing. OK, I had the «Meatlovers» Skillet… PLUS an order of Hash Browns. that were in a «Skillet» that was the same size of the «Meatlovers»…Oh did I mention that I also had an order of Corned Beef Hash… in the same size!!! (… I told ya I had TWO/​TOO much 2 eat…) …OK. the food WAS good., and the service was good as well. My First waitress name was Bree. My 2^nd waitress, please forgive me I 4got her name. but she served me well too… Three Chefs redeemed themselves from the 1^st visit. I plan on going back now that I know how BIG the «skillets» are… WHOO!

This place is seriously overrated. I have eaten here twice because the first time I thought it was maybe because I ordered takeout. So the second time I ate at the restaurant and let’s just say the food is a bit on the flavorless side. Not going back

I ate in here a few times, but it was becoming overcrowded, especially on the weekend. I now usually just order for the take out. I love the breakfast selections, the turkey sausages & pancakes and my husband loves the smoothed potatoes. It’s not many places that caters food to our style in our community. At first, I was hesitant until I actually set down and enjoyed how strangers were talking to each other about the food, the location, and how good it was. Not sure about the negative reviews especially about the waitress. I’m just happy that he allowed young women who may be having hard times or look as if they were having hard times an opportunity in their community. You will enjoy the food especially if your mom or dad came and cooked from the South. Happy Eating

Everything here is amazing. Except the staff. The wait staff is unprofessional, borderline lazy, did I say unprofessional? It’s like being served by your little high school aged cousins that really don’t want to be there but they have to. Food is great, fresh, perfect. But gosh these little servers… I won’t be back.

I live around the corner from this restaurant so I finally tried it when the waitress came to my table she look like she was scared and if I would have said boo she would have jumped out of her skin its apparent she should not have been a waitress but anyway I ordered pancakes and I like eating butter with my pancakes with butter not margarine they didn’t have butter so go figure I will not be back even though I left a $ 10 tip if I would have said boo the waitress will jump… …find you some good help I read a lot of the Unilocal reviews and a lot of them are the same has to do with service not getting your food in a timely manner drinks not coming with the meal the service I just wonder do the people that run this place ever read the reviews

I am so happy to finally be finding tasty sit down restaurants on the Southside! This is a no frills, small diner style place. The service is good and they are attentive. The food was also good. I must say that the sweet potato pancakes are great! They are not the standard sweet potato pancake/​waffle, where the batter is thoroughly blended resulting in orange products. These have little pieces of sweet potatoes and pecans in what seems to regular pancake batter. The flavor is not overwhelming and the pancake itself is so light and fluffy. There will be a wait, considering that they cook your food to order. I will definitely be back.

My goodness. Love this place. Repeat customer. Hard to read some of the negative reviews, but there are issues (like with any establishment).
Let’s look at the good — the food is delicious, the portions are great, and the prices are on point. I personally enjoy the gumbo, grits, steak, and pork chop. My girlfriend adores the sweet potato pancakes and their pancake specials. The food has a great balance of home style seasoning and professional flair. Weird combo, but I’m addicted to it.
The issues — wait time, menu availability, and drink delivery. Unless you ask for your pop/​lemonade to come before the food, it won’t. It’s just their policy — so just ask for it now versus later. Even my favorites run out, but I think it’s a better indicator of the ingredients being fresh rather than constantly and questionably available. Lastly, they’re just not quick — I don’t mind waiting for enjoying what I get.
Their service can be erratic, but they genuinely care that you have a good experience and are responsive to your concerns. They’re good people that are genuinely invested in the establishment succeeding. Give them a go — give them feedback — and watch them get better and better (as I have).

My review is a bit limited as I only go for the sweet potato pancakes and my partner always gets the croquettes. Both selections are delicious!
Service is friendly and fast (although the waitress always look like they came in from the club).
I would give the food 4 stars (could use a little seasoning and I don’t like the way they cook the potatoes).
I give the place itself a 2.5– they definitely need to upgrade and I question he cleanliness. I bring my own bottled water just to be safe. It would also be nice if they used more fresh ingredients. I got the pasta primavera one day, ate two bites and tossed it. Full of frozen vegetables, no seasoning and bottled tomato sauce.

the sweet potato pancakes is to die for and the food is great!
Cons: its not tht big
Pro: food is grt and its home cooked meals
