I was very dissatisfied with the food today. I went for lunch had the turkey tips, cornbread dressing and black eye peas; the tips were delicious! The sides were awful..I'm not sure if it was stovetop stuffing or not..but it did not taste good at all. I'll try again on another day when sides are different.
Review Source:Food is delicious but tooooooooo damn salty wow some people are already salt restricted and they add so much salt to the food it makes it unbearable to eat slow down on the salt if u want regular customers. But the food is great prices ok the restaurant decor is great the staff is very friendly and attentive.
Review Source:My fiance and I love this place! We live in the neighboring community, Englewood, and so the professional, clean venue is a breath of fresh air and very close to home. For students and professionals, this would be a perfect place to camp out with your laptop. It's also a great family restaurant. A very versatile venue. We're even considering letting BJ Market cater our wedding for a family-style twist on our big day.
Review Source:While headed back to Midway Airport I decided I wanted soul food for lunch so I stopped by BJ's on 79th. I appreciate the fact they have a parking lot for guests and lots of space inside to dine. I ordered the mustard fried catfish, mac and cheese and the mixed greens. The catfish was off tha chain! and the mustard sauce that comes with it makes it even better. As for the sides I would say they were just average. The mac and cheese was creamy inside and tasted more like boxed Velveeta macaroni or something so it didn't have that baked inside taste. The greens were just a tad too bitter but all in all everything was good.
Review Source:I had forgotten all about this place. I decided to stop by Monday and grab dinner.I ended up getting mustard fried catfish, macaroni, cabbage, caramel cake and peach cobbler. I enjoyed everything but the cabbage. They make theirs with banana peppers and carrots which doesn't have to be a problem but the taste was just off for me. I ate it but I would never order it from there again. I was happy with the cake because many people don't know how to do caramel frosting properly. This one was damn near perfect. The cobbler was damn good too.
Review Source:Once day I found myself on 79th and Racine and was I was extremely hungrey.  So, I decided to stop by BJ's Market which was across the street.  I noticed they had turkey rib tips on the menu and decided to  try it.  When I got home I enjoyed the meal so much I asked my mother and daughter-in-law to try them.  They loved them as much as I do.  For my block club's annual christmas party, I bought a tray of the turkey rib tips and they were a hit.  I am on my way over to order a 1/2 pan for a super bowl party I will be going to tomorrow and I am sure they will go over well.
This is just one of the items you have to try.
This is a fine gem on the south side. It sets it's self apart from many of the typical south side restaurants. There are no gyros or hamburgurs or pizza. It's more typical southern food. ie creole turkey drumsticks and shrimp.. I went for breakfast and the food was quite good. BJ's pancakes are quite large. They take up the diameter of an 8" plate. Â The restaurant was clean and the waitstaff are polite and well mannered. A fine establishment. I would go again.
Review Source:Haven't been to the location, but BJ's was set up at the 2011 Chicago Blues Festival and I had a chance to sample their peach cobbler...
Sweet mercy it was good. I wanted to run home and start slapping people in the face for not telling me to get it before. But since home was 2,000 miles away, it would have been a bit far to run. So instead I am here on Yelp slapping my friends and telling them they need to try it too.
Although I'm not a fan of soul food, I love many of the dishes cooked up at BJ's on 79th and Racine, such as the peach cobbler and the great breakfast specials. The prices are great, the food is great, the atmosphere is great albeit the much-changed fortunes of the neighborhood where this place is located, the interior and exterior of the place is beautiful and lovely, and the customer service is great. And this place is open at very convenient hours.
BJ gets five stars from me, all around.
Well this soul food restaurant is pretty good compared to some other's in Chicago. It is a buffet style restaurant, with everything from ribs, fried chicken, and neckbones..to sweet potatoes, greens, and mac and cheese. The price is very reasonable as well...but the parking is horrible because the lot is very small and it get's very busy on Sunday's. If your on Chicago's South side and want some good Soul food visit this establishment. Eat, Drink, and be Merry my friends!!!!!
Review Source:It's been a long time since I have been to BJ's and man have I missed it. I am so happy to have a quality restaurant right in my backyard. From the moment I walk in the place is a gem. The soul food was very presentable, piping hot, good portions, and very reasonable in price. Then I was so shocked when I was done dining that I was pleasantly satisfied.
Review Source:My mission - to eat a bland diet (by orders of a probably evil anti-fried things medical cabal...)
Which made me think of hospital food, which in turn made me think of Boston Market, which turned my stomach and made me think there had to be something better, but somewhat similar, which made me remember BJ's (with a damned apostrophe, you immature internet pervs...jeez.)
This basically looks like a very nice and fancy version of a Boston Market, but it's a local indie business, they play the good Chaka Khanish kind of soul music and they make soul food. Which made me think of mashed potatoes, which made me think of bland, which made me think I was on the right track and waaaay smarter than a doctor, which made me think that maybe I should take the MCATs or something.
Mission - TOTAL FAIL.
I knew I was in trouble from the second I tasted the green beans. The glorious green beans.... They were just way too fucking good - rich and buttery tasting with all kinds of garlic and seasoning and whatnot. And the mashed potatoes? Delicious. Ugh I just needed some bland, watery crap made of Potato Buds or something, but noooo, they were creamy and great. Thankfully the macaroni and cheese tasted way too healthy without enough cheese, but the damage was already done.
Which made me think the doctors would be able to detect my indiscretions through one of their blood tests or something, which made me think that Chicago is a really big city and that it would be really easy to just start all over again with another doctor, which made me remember that they also have peach cobbler and heavenly smoked chicken and gravy covered fried pork chops here, too, which makes me remember that I should stop incriminating myself with these damn Yelp reviews.
Hidden gem of cafeteria style elegance perfect for the healthier soul food lover in you.
Don't let the discount grocery posters in the window fool you.
From the burgundy brick interior, soft, warm lighting and immaculate floors, there is a sense of dining out yet in a way eating at home.
Down home, that is.
With choices like smoked chicken, pork chops, jumbo shrimps & catfish, this is a great place to relax and relish in a Southern-esque church banquet (without the folding chairs).
Try the greens flavored with turkey, peach cobbler and candied sweet potatoes. Yeah, they're that good.
No surprise, a steady flow of hungry people came through on a late Sunday afternoon.
What's better than grubbing on greens & listening to Marvin Gaye and not having to do dishes.
No-thing.
