"After a decade in Lincoln Square, this Southern comforts specialist has relocated to Irving Park, where breakfast and brunch feature Darnell Reed’s favorites like chicken and waffles, crab-stuffed shrimp and grits, biscuits and gravy, and peach cobbler French toast." - Jeffy Mai
"After a 10-year run in Lincoln Square, Luella’s Southern Kitchen packed its bags and moved to a new location in Albany Park. Their menu is now brunch-only, but you can expect dishes like crab-stuffed shrimp and grits, chicken and waffles, and catfish po' boys. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - John Ringor
"The Southern restaurant served its last customer at its original Lincoln Square location, closing at 4609 N. Lincoln Avenue in early July; it plans to reopen "in just a few weeks," according to a message on its website. Owner Darnell Reed hasn’t shared the new address with the public, but says it’s only a 10-minute drive from the original restaurant. In the meantime, fans can get a taste during a gospel brunch hosted at Common Pantry on Saturday, August 2." - Jeffy Mai
"Luella’s is delivering its Southern food for dinner and weekend brunch. You can also call the restaurant directly for pickup at 773-961-8196." - adrian kane
"The golden breading surrounding Luella’s chicken has a fantastic light crispiness. But underneath it lies perfectly juicy and rich meat, all thanks to some buttermilk. And we know this is a chicken guide, but don’t be surprised if the side of ham-hock-flavored collard greens steals some of your attention." - john ringor, adrian kane
