"As you can tell from the sign out front—the one fading into light pastels—Mitchell’s is not of this century. This Prospect Heights soul food restaurant opened over 40 years ago, and it wears its age with pride. The snug dining room has a few old chandeliers and around eight or so tables where you can sit and order from a menu that’s slowly becoming de-laminated. Most items—including meatloaf, turkey wings, and ribs—are around $15 and come with two sides, as well as a block of sweet and crumbly cornbread. If you don't know which direction to head in, get some fried catfish, and pair it with the cinnamon-spiced yams. photo credit: Kate Previte Food Rundown photo credit: Kate Previte Fried Catfish One thing we really appreciate about Mitchell’s? The portion sizes. Just look at all that lightly breaded catfish. The mac and cheese on the side is perfectly moist and charming in a homecooked sort of way, and the collard greens are just slightly sweet, with very little vinegar. Fried Chicken The crust on this fried chicken is so minimal it’s barely even there. Still, it has a bit of crunch, as well as a good dusting of seasoning. A reliable, if slightly boring, choice. photo credit: Kate Previte Cornbread Along with your meal, you'll get your choice of bread. Always go for the cornbread. It's fluffy, sweet, and well done around the edges." - Bryan Kim
