It's not your business
+5
Yes 5 stars! I love this place. I love Macarthurs because you get exactly what you pay for and it’s good. When I’m in the mood for soul food like my grandmother would make, I drive very far to get to this establishment. The prices are beyond reasonable, yet food is still on point. Now, I don’t venture off into any liver and onions, or ham hocks but I’m willing to bet they’re good if that’s your thing. I stick to basics with meat (chicken or fish, usually both because the prices are so reasonable) but it’s the sides and dessert that have me driving 45 minutes. I have three “soul food spots” near me in Hyde Park and they are okay, but they are three times as expensive and don’t give me soul food satisfaction. For a great value, good food, yummy authentic southern sweets and sides just run here!
I grew up in Alabama and just moved to Chicago from Atlanta, so I'm familiar as hell with Southern Cuisine, but this establishment LAID ME OUT. Too hungover to make collards and black eyed peas New Year's Day (but obviously still here for any Money and Luck I could get), I told Husb we had to get our sorry selves up and go find some, even if we had to wait in line.
Macarthur's, we were not ready. I took the best nap of my LIFE after this--so glad we got it to-go so I could crawl RIGHT in my bed when I was done...
Black Eyed Peas: 100/10
Collards: slap your Mama
Mac'n'Cheese: creamy and dreamy
Fried chicken: juicy as hell--Husb was trying not to share
Mashed Potatoes: garlic and love
Corn bread: melt in your mouth
Banana Pudding: probably the best I've ever had
Thank y'all for doing the Lord's work.
I have been going here for years and they never disappoint. I used to go here as a little girl when they were across the street with no parking lot. A small hole in the wall with excellent food! I wish they would bring back breakfast 😩 If not every day, at least on Saturdays or Saturday and Sunday....
