Josephine's Southern Cooking is a must-visit for anyone craving authentic soul food in Chicago! 🤩

The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, perfect for families or solo diners. We tried the lunch buffet and indulged in delicious fried chicken, mac and cheese, and mouthwatering peach cobbler 🍑. The flavors were comforting, and the service was speedy and friendly.

Though some dishes could use a touch more seasoning, it's clear this women-owned gem has been a community staple for years. Affordable prices for hearty portions make it worth the visit... Can't wait to return!
