Zach Morgan: Try the blackened chicken wrap with spinach tortilla. Great value!
Andrew Volk: Blackened chicken wrap is real good. Cobb salad, too. Fairly priced.

Southern Food Restaurant · Near West Side · 98 tips and reviews
Erik Rowley: Awesome southern cuisine, the blackened chicken with black-eyed peas and sweet potatoes was very good. Enjoy the alcohol soaked cherry in their mixed drinks!
JenKudu: The burger is really good! The blackened chicken sandwich is big and a little spicy. For sides, I really liked the home fries. The cheese grits were okay. Friendly staff.
Explore Chicago: Wishbone’s mascot Dolly is the owner’s actual childhood dog. Stop by for fast-service brunch, but also don’t forget to try their signature shrimp & grits, blackened catfish, or smoked beef brisket.
Bob DeGraff: Good fries and good service. The blackened chicken sandwich was a little mild on the flavor.
Roslyn Redmond: The ribs, steaks, calamari. The dinner menu offers great choices. Lunch menu needs improvements. Very pleasant environment.
Carina Navarro: Very good food with good size portions that won't hurt your wallet. The desserts are awesome. I suggest the Captain Jacks Buried Treasure. It's big enough to share!

Ben Alton: Their blackened chicken sandwich with pepper jack is awesome. I'm not nuts about the burgers, but their chili is also excellent here. Give it a try. One of my favorite after work spots in Chicago
Christopher Floss: Great German/Bavarian feel to this place! Had a good German wiessbier on draft. Tons of other options for those who like specialty beers from all parts of the world.
Chris Kang: No ranch. Boo. But you can throw the peanut shells on the ground.
