St Rest No 2 Country Kitchen

The customer service is good but the food....not so much. Over soaked in grease , and I've witnessed a server drop a pen in the food and left it there for a good 5 minutes quite unsanitary don't ya think

While driving through the Chatham neighborhood I craved a breakfast one afternoon. I was literally stopped in traffic facing eastbound on 87th Street. I glanced to my right and the chef of St. Rest #2 was literally waving me in. I lowered the window and said "You all serve breakfast?" Without hesitation he confirmed and guiding me into the parking lot.

I ordered the build it yourself omelet with turkey sausage and green peppers. A nice size side of hashbrows and homemade biscuits. My buddy had the grits with his omelet and I manage to swipe a few samples.

I never really had mind blowing grits before until I walked into St Rest #2, I almost didn't feel guilty eating them. Their turkey sausage was superb, a little crust action shield locking in the flavor until you take that first bite. Perhaps the Captain America of turkey sausage I might add.

The staff was extremely friendly and the chef actually chatted with me for a few to check up on my experience. Tina our server was polite and knowledgeable I would go back again just for her to pour me coffee.

There is an incredible buffet lunch spread including fried chicken, fried catfish, pork chops, veggies and pretty much everything to feed your soul.

This is the best S-O-U-L F-O-O-D Restaurant on the southside of Chicago. The food is always hot and fresh. I love this place!!! Their salmon croquette patties, homemade turkey sausage, homemade biscuits, eggs cooked just how you like them makes me take all of my friends there for breakfast. Their banquet style service for the lunch & dinner meals allow you to see everything before ordering, and believe me the fried catfish, smothered pork chops, short ribs,  cabbage, greens, sweet potatoes and don't forget the Peach Cobber... all so delicious!! I'm hungry now : )
