"An old favorite on Chicago’s west side, MacArthur’s is a Black-owned cafeteria-style restaurant serving homestyle classics like fried chicken, hearty meatloaf, sweet potatoes, mac and cheese, and peach cobbler. And you should always finish your meal off with the peach cobbler. Usually a seat-yourself, dine-in restaurant, MacArthur’s is only offering carryout and delivery at this time." - phaithe norman, adrian kane

I catered from them and my residents loved the food! We served over 150 plus people and they enjoyed everything. Baked and fried chicken, yams, greens, macaroni, and peach cobbler; our food was also delivered earlier than expected. We will be back! Thank you all!

Line was to the back but was moving fairly quickly. With that being said, you get the slightest feeling of being rushed by the entree choice girls. Then, by the time you get to the dessert girl, you have to hear the staff talk about their nights before. The meats, sweet potatoes, and barley the greens are well seasoned and taste good. But them other sides lol you better be packing some Mrs. Dash and Slap ya mama. But you get plenty for the money and that's always a blessing.

Food is really good the short ribs of beef is falling off the bone so tender & meaty and it's not really really expensive! the mac and cheese was also good with dressing.

Zero stars. Please do not let this place go down. They were the first I tried to steal soul food recipes now, but that was 2005. Fast forward- NO seasoning in ANY of the food, the lady doing trays treated paying customers like prisoners, the place does not feel the same. Please bring it back. Until then zero stars

I stopped eating here last year due to the fact the taste of the food as well as service changed . They have fair prices sometimes good staff . I returned with a promise off tick tock my favorite west side cook returned . I was excited to see the gentleman back and behind the station working , not joking around handling customers with respect . Me and my family follows this cook from the bus barn to the south side back to this place . I didn't appreciate being told he no longer is employed and now seeking another job.

This meatloaf was drowned in some type of oil. The food is not with the price or the attitude you have to deal with from people who don't know how to treat patrons.
