Best Soul Food Restaurants in Lyons

Food is really good, but going for brunch kind of sucks in terms of service. I don’t believe its the waiters fault though. They have a skeleton crew that is stretched thin, and you order from an online menu like you’re picking it up but sitting in a restaurant (its like a fast casual place vs a restaurant which is odd). Its one thing to have the digital menu, but can’t ask questions and even questioned if our food order was put in because it took a while and had no interaction with a waiter. Odd. Again the food was very good, but wouldn’t go back cuz half of going to a restaurant is the experience.

To begin, we were greeted immediately &were seated pretty fast. The waiter was AMAZING he gave us suggestions since it was our first time. Let me tell you how amazing the suggestions were! They truly took care of us &let us try sake! Such an amazing experience! Well definitely come back

The restaurant was crowded and lively. When we showed up with 11 people instead of our 10 as we had reserved, no one batted an eye. We celebrated our son's CU graduation and everyone was thrilled with the beer selection and the menu. Very gourmet entrees yet approachable. The Avocado Tartare was unique and my dad even took a picture of it! Everyone who ordered the Gumbo was thrilled and I enjoyed the tofu noodle bowl. My family talked about our experience there for a couple of days! A great idea for a group to celebrate any CU activity!
