Best Soul Food
Top 100 Restaurant, Chicago

"With the country's great soul-food restaurants thinning out, this outpost on the South Side remains steadfast as it celebrates its 60th anniversary [in 2005]."

– Jerry Shriver, USA Today

"Army & Lou's has a large, loyal clientele, drawn by its menu of high-end soul food. It was once a favored dining spot for Harold Washington, Chicago's first black mayor, and still attracts a good number of politicians to its tables."

– Chicago Tribune

"Army & Lou's, like soul food itself, is still a stalwart, still serving chitterlings and smothered chicken, still attracting politicians like Mayor Richard M. Daley and the Rev. Jesse Jackson to take the pulse of the black neighborhoods."

– The New York Times

"Pristine dining room with a series of booths and tables (covered with cloth). Interesting vintage photos on the wall. Super-friendly waitstaff keeps things moving briskly. The buffet feature the first Sunday every month is a must-go-to for a lot of people. Jazz is featured on Friday nights. ... The peach cobbler is the only way I finish a meal here."

– Pat Bruno, Chicago Sun-Times

Chicago's restaurant scene boasts some of the nation's top contemporary and French-inspired fine dining, but the Windy City remains the epicenter of steak houses, hot dogs, deep-dish pizza and Italian beef sandwiches.
