"From the beginning of our very first visit, we suspected that Soule had the Feel Good Factor™. And we were right. This place will make you happy even on the darkest day of winter, when you spent three hours fighting with your neighbors over the lawn flamingo you used to hold your parking spot - and while that’s partly due to the upbeat atmosphere, the delicious soul food (like shrimp and grits, fried green tomatoes, and peach cobbler) is also key. Whether or not you actually need to be comforted, the comfort food here will do the job." - adrian kane
"Soule To Soule is a restaurant that has the Feel Good Factor™. This means it’s capable of putting you in a positive mood even if you lost your wallet and keys in the same morning. But the upbeat atmosphere and excellent jerk chicken wings, fried green tomatoes, and flaky biscuits aren’t the only reason to come here. This West Town spot is about hanging out and talking without technological distractions. Each little table has a box to hide your phone in and conversation starting cards to use as ice breakers. So get a friend to treat you to dinner and be prepared to discuss your most embarrassing nicknames." - adrian kane, veda kilaru
"Here is how you have a date at Soule in West Town. You put your name in (because there’s going to be a 30-45 minute wait). Then you go next door for drinks, and/or go pick up a bottle of wine, since Soule is BYOB. You’ll get a phone call (at exactly the time they gave you as an estimate) to let you know your table is ready. Then you can go eat soul food, like shrimp and grits or fried catfish, that’s so delicious you won’t know if you’re having a great time because of the food, or because the date is going well. Make sure to share the warm peach cobbler with ice cream for dessert." - adrian kane
"Soule To Soule is a restaurant that has the Feel Good Factor™. This means it’s capable of putting somebody in a positive mood even if they spent their first two hours in Chicago stuck on the tarmac at O’Hare. The upbeat atmosphere and delicious soul food (like shrimp and grits, fried green tomatoes, and flaky biscuits and gravy) will work like culinary Xanax on any out-of-towner." - adrian kane, veda kilaru
"This place comes from the team behind , a soul food spot brimming with Feel Good Factor™ in North Lawndale. The new iteration in West Town is BYOB (with a mocktail menu full of mixers) and serves its soul food in tapas-like portions. So expect little plates like smoky jerk chicken wings, and biscuits and gravy with pull-apart layers you’ll hold up to the light just to marvel at the flakiness. But the great food is not the main reason to come here. Soule to Soule is about hanging out and talking—each little table has a box to put your phone in, full of conversation-starting cards (would you rather be a side chick or a wife?) and the velvet seats are meant for lounging. They also have theme nights (like ladies night, hip hot trivia night, and small business night), which you can find on their . " - Adrian Kane
