Wiped my plate clean! A true home-cooked meal with a very homey vibe. This is a gem and I can’t wait to not only tell people about this place, but to come back again and again!

This is a cant miss jerk chicken. The heat is all there, but has good flavor and is nicely cooled with a side of greens and red bean rice. The place is unprentenious and just down-home carribean/southern comfort food. Definitely will be back!

Simply amazing! The food, the staff, the atmosphere! Everything was great. Also, the bring your own bottle option was a perfect addition to the restaurant. I'll definitely be back

We was not ready for the flavors we received from Chef Kellys cooking! Hands down THE BEST Soul Food restaurant in Chicago!! We ordered the jerk dinner with yams, rice and peas, collard greens, and macaroni and cheese. The chicken was grilled to a delightful crisp, but miraculously fell off the bone. The rice and peas creamy and delicious. The yams yummy! And the Mac...scrumptious!We ate everything with no shame! If you haven't been to Bettie Lou's do your stomach, tastebuds, and life a favor and Go! They offer delivery and dine in options on the weekend.Chef Kelly also served us and chatted with us for a bit. She is such a beautiful person inside and out! If you're still reading this STOP and place an order or get in the car!

Absolutely incredible. Some of the best mac and cheese I've ever had, with friendly staff that make you feel at home. A total gem.

Nice cozy establishment. Chef is so personable. Excellent food and my sweet tea and lemonade was hand made. Jerk chicken and salmon croquettes were delicious!

? The taste just takes over your mouth. The Taste the atmosphere like Granny house. Warm goodness all over. Seriously just consumed this plate. Anytime its no leftover you no the food is delicious. They check on you like you just friends of the family ?. I will definitely ? ? be back.

The food was sooo good. Staff was very nice and helpful. I had the turkey chops, cabbage and green beans with white potatoes. Delicious! Definitely will be going back. It is BYOB as well

I ordered the soul rolls and the macaroni was made out of the box I don't appreciate it and I gave them a tip which I would never do again

I purchased the salmon crochet dinner. My two sides were cabbage and the other greens. You get a slice of Johnnie cake with your meal. Everything was good except the greens were too salty. But will try again. The 6 cheese Mac n cheese is calling my name. The food is made fresh. So don't come expecting to get your food in five minutes. I believe the owner is the chef.
