MacArthur's Restaurant

“Food, service and atmosphere was exceptional and even had seconds.”

(Same review left on yelp) Drove all the way from Bloomington, Indiana to visit a friend and we were so excited to try this restaurant because we remembered it being so good. However, this food was terrible. We were told we were served fried catfish and I don’t believe that’s what we got. Outside of that you can tell the fish had been sitting, it wasn’t hot. The macaroni was also bland as well. I went and asked the waiter what fish we had been served and she said it was catfish. I’m not sure what was going on but $20 was wasted and this food went in the trash.

Came all the way from Houston Texas and I must say the food was terrible!! I got the smothered pork chops and they were so hard they crumbled like cookies! The cabbage tasted like it was boiled in water, drained and served! The cornbread was crumbly and terrible and the yams weren’t cooked long enough! The only thing I had that was edible was the greens and even they weren’t great! I definitely don’t see why ppl stand in such long lines for this horrible food! It’s laughable that they run out of food! I guess ppl just don’t know any better! I would never recommend this place to anyone!

MacArthur’s has been a Chicago staple for the last 29 years!!! Authentic soul food with endless options and HUGE portions! The macaroni is so cheesy and good !

I’ve been going here for years. Quality has definitely changed! Mac & cheese is horrible now. They need to change that ASAP!!! Waa there 3/1/26 Meats are always a hit. Customer service can be improved. Prices are very reasonable. Portions are good!
