Rude Boyz Jerk & Soul Cafe

I came here for the first time with my partner because we use to pass it all the time. One day we decided to get it to go for dinner. Here is what we ordered and my thoughts on it.. *(We never got our free mini pork tips from our order either…) Cajun pasta w/ chicken: I LOVE pasta but this was a no for me. It was WAAAYYY too peppery. I couldn’t eat it AT ALL. Whether it was the chicken containing pepper or the Cajun with pepper seasoning, it was too over powering it just burned and tasted like black pepper. It was a waste because I knew under all of that it could’ve been really good. Chicken rice bowl: The rice bowl was pretty good. The only thing I was turned away by was the small garden cheese on top that couldn’t be mixed in and the fact that the rice was a bit on the dry side. Jerk chicken egg roll: The flavors were spot on. Wasn’t our favorite out of the two but really delicious! Garlic parm egg roll: Tasted EXACTLY like a garlic parmesan wing. They nailed the flavor spot on. It was strong but still delicious if you’re into garlic parm. Jerk chicken: This was actually good! The smell from the container was already enough to know it was going to be good. Baked Mac and cheese: This was a big no for me. Both of us. It was too oily, too gummy, no seasoning at all. We didn’t even eat it.

This place is the truth! We are on my lunch break I got the jerk chicken rolls the Philly cheese steak roll and the Philly chicken roll. I only had time to eat the jerk chicken on my break and it was so good. It was the meat with cooked cabbage so it was crunchy and there was cheese which looked and tasted like American. The egg rolls were also crispy on the outside and not soggy and greasy. And there was a nice sauce on the inside and I can't put my finger on what it is but it made the whole thing slap!

Jerk chicken tips were deliciously spicy and sweet and the Mac and cheese is cheesy moist and good and I love their small containers for sauce who don't love a top on your sauce that stays on the container very smart

Fantastic Food and Exceptional Service at 3 Kings Jerk & Soul! Review: I recently had the pleasure of dining at 3 Kings Jerk & Soul, and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience! I ordered the surf and turf loaded potato with salmon and shrimp, and it was truly a culinary delight. The flavors were exceptional, and each bite was a burst of deliciousness. Not only was the food top-notch, but the customer service was also impeccable. The staff was friendly, attentive, and truly made me feel welcomed. The atmosphere of the restaurant was inviting, and I appreciated the clean and well-maintained lobby. One thing that stood out to me was seeing the owners leading by example. It's clear that they are passionate about their restaurant and are dedicated to providing a great dining experience for their customers. I traveled an hour to dine here, and it was absolutely worth it. I can't wait to come back and try more of their dishes. If you're looking for amazing food, excellent service, and a welcoming atmosphere, I highly recommend 3 Kings Jerk & Soul.

Stopped by 3 Kings Jerk & Soul on Cicero and grabbed the $12 lunch special—jerk chicken with dirty rice and mac & cheese. The chicken had solid flavor, but the rice was a bit dry, and the mac could’ve been creamier. Portions were generous, and the staff was friendly, but the wait was longer than expected for a lunch rush. Overall, not bad, but there's room for improvement.

Hit up 3 KINGS JERK & SOUL for lunch around 1pm and grabbed their lunch special (jerk chicken with rice & beans, cabbage & cornbread), then treated myself to a jerk chicken eggroll and a side of yams. The jerk had just the right kick, eggroll was crispy & saucy, portions solid. Crew was chill and fast. Chi‑town soul food done right—I’ll be back.

I finally tried this place last night for dinner. I’ve driven by it a million times and always thought it looked good. The food I got doesn’t look bad, but let me tell you… this food had me so sick. The only thing that was fresh and tasty was the macaroni. It actually didn’t look great to me but tasted fantastic. The egg roll was the worst part of the meal. I’m glad I only got one to try. It was the philly cheese steak roll. It was so chewy and disgusting. Seemed like it was a few days old, not even just hours. Nothing to really say about the cabbage. You can see it was seasoned with powders and has no vegetables or anything in it. No complaints, but I definitely won’t be back for it. The chicken I picked at because I was hungry, but it tasted old as well and very very dry. This food literally ruined my plans for the night because I got sick. Sooo disappointed. I wanted this place to be good so badly 💔

Food: First of all, I loooove wings so I can be critical, but I was not disappointed at all. The sauce was fingerlicking saucing, the heat was warming and the fries were giving! Pictures don't lie🤤😌😂 The place was clean! The service was very plesant! I'm willing to try other things on the menu!

The food was fresh and full of flavor. I had Chopped Steak and this is probably one of my new favorites due to how fresh, fast, and good it all tasted. The service was great and the restaurant is very clean. The menu is huge and they have lunch specials everyday 11am-2pm. Lastly they serve both soul and jerk outside of fast food and a nice perk is the BYOB. Be sure to try them out for a break at lunch or a first date.

Service is horrible owner is rude and the food is nasty. I can't believe i spent my money on this nonsense. The place was clean tho so that's a plus.

The food was great, and the service was really nice. I'd rate the pasta a 10/10 . I definitely think this is a must try. The ambiance was a nice place to go in an out of the food was ready fast.

This place was alright. I'm giving it three stars for three specific reasons. The interior was clean and bright. That's our first star. Everything was sparkling and beautiful, though it was completely empty (always a warning sign for me). Despite this, service took way too long. The people in the kitchen didn't seem to know what's in all of the combos on the menu, so getting a combination tray (of food that was already prepared) just took too long for how easy it should have been. Everyone in the restaurant was personable though, very chatty and happy to help. That's our second star. My food was just ok. The chicken I ordered was totally falling off the bone and didn't have a lot of flavor. The sweet potatoes were delicious, though very sweet. The cornbread dressing was not the best that I've had, but was definitely a highlight of the meal. The egg roll was... interesting to say the least. First of all, it was soggy instead of crispy. When I bit into it, the flavor was just too much. Not balanced at all. I've never had a jerk chicken egg roll before, but I don't think these are the gold standard. Overall, the food gets a star for having some good elements. One thing that I noticed when looking through other reviews of this place, was that the negative reviews all have retorts from the owner. Not just responses -- retorts. Ones that essentially tell the customer that they're experience is wrong and invalid. I'm not sure that I like when a restaurant feels the need to get all defensive about their food when people don't like it. My opinion is that there are so many other places to get jerk chicken and soul food in Chicago that there is no real reason to bother with "3 Kings Jerk and Soul."

I was really impressed, how friendly everybody is here... And the food smelled really good walking in the door... I've had jerk chicken before, but the way they're doing the seasonings here is a little bit different, and I like it!
