My family and I were visiting Chicago (by way of L.A. and Denver)...some of us for the first time. We wanted to make the trip special as we were celebrating my Mom's 70th Birthday. A Soul Food restuarant was a must-do activity for us. A friend recommended Army & Lou's and it did not disappoint! The service and atmosphere were friendly and welcoming and the food...Oh my! We were stuffed when we left, but oh so happy. I had the smothered chicken, mom had the catfish, one cousin had the turkey and gravey and the other had the fried seafood plate. We all loved our meals and the sides were divine! I have to mention the cornbread muffins too! They were so good, I had to take a few home (to the hotel)! We were so full that we had to skip dessert (that never happens!). Army & Lou's is a must-go spot in Chicago if you are looking for real down home, stick to your ribs, I can barely move, but it was so worth it soul food!
Pros: The food and service!
Cons: decor
