Will not be back. It's sad that when you try to support a black owned business with good food, they exhibit unnecessarily bad service. I visited the 9/13/15. Called in advance because I live in the suburbs and know that on nice days they will close early. Upon calling at 12 to ensure they were open before I traveled to the city. I arrived at 1:15 to be told they were only doing take out orders because they were closing early. So after bragging to my girl that lives in Orlando about the food, we couldn't even eat. So after I told them I called in advance and the young lady didn't mention they were closing early. They said I could stay, but everybody was on break for 30 minutes. Another couple was told the same. We left and went to original house of pancakes in Hyde park. I also saw the other couple there too. As a business, the worst thing you can do is turn away good money. You're in business to make money and sell food.

I ate in here a few times, but it was becoming overcrowded, especially on the weekend. I now usually just order for the take out. I love the breakfast selections, the turkey sausages & pancakes and my husband loves the smoothed potatoes. It's not many places that caters food to our style in our community. At first, I was hesitant until I actually set down and enjoyed how strangers were talking to each other about the food, the location, and how good it was. Not sure about the negative reviews especially about the waitress. I'm just happy that he allowed young women who may be having hard times or look as if they were having hard times an opportunity in their community. You will enjoy the food especially if your mom or dad came and cooked from the South. Happy Eating

I am so happy to finally be finding tasty sit down restaurants on the Southside! This is a no frills, small diner style place. The service is good and they are attentive. The food was also good. I must say that the sweet potato pancakes are great! They are not the standard sweet potato pancake/waffle, where the batter is thoroughly blended resulting in orange products. These have little pieces of sweet potatoes and pecans in what seems to regular pancake batter. The flavor is not overwhelming and the pancake itself is so light and fluffy. There will be a wait, considering that they cook your food to order. I will definitely be back.

OK, let me start by saying I had to visit Three Chefs twice because the FIRST time, I waited an HOUR for a "to Go" order. I had to leave...stuff to do. Anyway, the 2nd visit was different. I think the staff was waiting/looking for me. I was taken care of "quite quickly". I kinda ordered TOO much...to eat. I didn't know what I was doing. OK, I had the "Meatlovers" Skillet...PLUS an order of Hash Browns..that were in a "Skillet" that was the same size of the "Meatlovers"...Oh did I mention that I also had an order of Corned Beef Hash...in the same size!!??!! (... I told ya I had TWO/TOO much 2 eat...) ...OK. the food WAS good.,and the service was good as well. My First waitress name was Bree. My 2nd waitress, please forgive me I 4got her name.. but she served me well too... Three Chefs redeemed themselves from the 1st visit. I plan on going back now that I know how BIG the "skillets" are....WHOO!!

The veggie omelet here was fantastic because it was fresh and there was no skimping on the vegetables either. The grits were also very good. Had a taste of the gumbo, and again, the flavor was impressive-just like New Orleans! Great little diner. Wish it was open in the evenings.
(5)Cory P.
This place is seriously overrated. I have eaten here twice because the first time I thought it was maybe because I ordered takeout. So the second time I ate at the restaurant and let's just say the food is a bit on the flavorless side. Not going back

I love the food when it is cooked correctly however the service is by far the worst. Customer service is everything to me and it makes the difference between a great restaurant and an ok one. I love to support Black-owned businesses but the very poor service make it hard to do so. Lets change the way we think.
(2)Hungry M.
My goodness. Love this place. Repeat customer. Hard to read some of the negative reviews, but there are issues (like with any establishment). Let's look at the good - the food is delicious, the portions are great, and the prices are on point. I personally enjoy the gumbo, grits, steak, and pork chop. My girlfriend adores the sweet potato pancakes and their pancake specials. The food has a great balance of home style seasoning and professional flair. Weird combo, but I'm addicted to it. The issues - wait time, menu availability, and drink delivery. Unless you ask for your pop/lemonade to come before the food, it won't. It's just their policy - so just ask for it now versus later. Even my favorites run out, but I think it's a better indicator of the ingredients being fresh rather than constantly and questionably available. Lastly, they're just not quick - I don't mind waiting for enjoying what I get. Their service can be erratic, but they genuinely care that you have a good experience and are responsive to your concerns. They're good people that are genuinely invested in the establishment succeeding. Give them a go - give them feedback - and watch them get better and better (as I have).

This restaurant is definitely a hidden treasure in the Auburn Gresham neighborhood. I tried it today for lunch ( well I had breakfast) and I'm hooked! I had their trademarked sweet potato pancakes with pecans and they melted in my mouth. It was accompanied with scrambled cheesy eggs ( cheese very important to me) and homemade turkey sausage patties which were nicely seasoned and super delicious. The prices are reasonable and portions are good. I'll definitely be coming back and I'm bringing my homies and hubby with me :)
(5)Chalie P.
I ate here 3 times, the food is always fresh and the service is great, pretty waitresses make the experience worth coming back and it has a family diner feel. I overcame how safe it is police eat here alot which is good because its not exactly the best neighborhood.

Hidden Gem, all I can say is: Unbelievable!

I am a regular return carry-out and dine-in visitor. I truly enjoyed the following: gumbo, garlic bread, a tilapia dish that I don't recall the name & stuff catfish. You can ONLY get the stuff catfish on Sunday as a special and it's not offered on a regular :-(. The ONLY down fall they close @ 5pm.
(4)Catrina C.
Breakfast was very good! The sweet potato pancakes and turkey patties are a must try. Service was a little slow, but not a deal breaker. They have take out as well, I am sure to return with the hubby!
(4)Jade B.
I thought the food was pretty good! McDonald's ending up being closed for breakfast so we ended up going here! I'd go there again, just probably try something different. The service was slower than expected, but it seems like a family operated business. I had pancakes eggs n sausage which was pretty good, I'll probably get an omelette n smothered potatoes next time. My boyfriend loved them! And my best friend loved her French toast too! :) Nice place.

This place is one of those places you won't really notice unless you are looking for it so please go look for it. We came here the day before Thanksgiving because we had some last minute shopping to do and we just made it in because they were closing early for the holidays. When we walked in it was packed and that is always a good sign of some excellent food...I'm so glad we made it because the food was just that EXCELLENT. They had some thick sliced bacon that was cooked to perfection just the right crunch but not hard. I also had the smothered potatoes which had onion and green peppers mixed in with it...so yummy. My girlfriend got the Sweet Potato Pancakes and all she kept saying was mmmmm now this right here is good. The coffee freshly made and the eggs were cooked the way we asked for them. This is a place I will definitely go back too and try other things that they have on the menu. I do believe normally they close at 4pm but don't quote me on that. Enjoy!!!

Everything here is amazing. Except the staff. The wait staff is unprofessional, borderline lazy, did I say unprofessional? It's like being served by your little high school aged cousins that really don't want to be there but they have to. Food is great, fresh, perfect . But gosh these little servers..... I won't be back.
(1)Ryan B.
My sister and I went at 2:15 and they said they were closed. I say but your open for 45 more minutes. The waitresses just looked at us and said "The heat". It was cool as can be in there. We left disappointed and confused. Be careful of this bad business.

Visited "3 Chefs" @ 81st & Halsted this afternoon. Food was delicious! Not heavily seasoned (which I can respect). My husband had the salmon croquettes/fried green tomatoes. He said they were very good. Nice lil community spot. Black owned. Service was really nice. They don't "cross cook"-which I love! The only down side is they don't offer high chairs for babies. We had to hold our 10 month old while we ate, but no biggie. We will definently be going back!
(4)Violette H.
Solid breakfast food in an area that often times leaves few options. Decided to stick to what they were known for-sweet potato pancakes and gumbo and we weren't disappointed. Our total inc a cup of coffee was $20 which I thought was very reasonable. From the time we sat till we walked out, it was approximately an hour so yes, service was a bit slow. The nice waitresses and taste of the food made up for the slow service and we will likely be back.
(4)Quentin M.
Good food...TERRIBLE service.... Sat the table and waited as 2-3 servers walked past multiple times without offering to take our order. When the order was finally taken, the attitude was indifferent. The wait for the food was ridiculous. There were people who came in 20 minutes after me, ordered the same thing, and got their food before me...unacceptable... The food was good, however, the poor service makes me hesitate to come back a second time...
(2)Fred W.
I would give the food 5 stars, but the customer service is lacking, so overall I have to give Three Chefs Restaurant 3 stars. Wait staff is pretty much made of kids, while I understand wanting to provide jobs to the neighborhood youth, they need proper training in providing quality customer service. Best bet is to call and get your order to go. Gumbo is the Bomb. Stuffed Catfish is fantastic
(3)Colonel M.
Ok went back and sat in to eat... Food was great... Till I saw the fat mouse running around the floor... It's a shame that I will not be retuning after that
(1)Kaelyn G.
I am really starting to change my mind about this place. The food is really good, I've never ordered anything I didn't enjoy, but whenever you see something on their really small menu that catches your eye they say they don't have it! I ordered corn beef hash, they didn't have it. So I ordered a Belgium waffle instead and they didn't have that either. Really??!! What do you have?
(2)Sharina R.
I've been to this place a handful of times and my experiences have typically been pretty good. As far as the food is concerned, the Mexican skillet is delicious as well as the French toast, and the prices are more than reasonable. The waffle here is good of you get strawberry and whipped cream, but the chicken wings didn't have much flavor, but are still a good size. The service sometimes lacks a little and the wait is about 20-30 minutes whether you call in or sit in the restaurant. All in all, I would definitely recommend this place, just be ready to wait.
(4)Dwaun D.
The service was terrible. Had a waitress that was new and didn't know what she was doing. Waited almost 30 mins for our food. When we did get it one order was wrong. I will never go there again!!
(1)Bruce B.
I live around the corner from this restaurant so I finally tried it when the waitress came to my table she look like she was scared and if I would have said boo she would have jumped out of her skin its apparent she should not have been a waitress but anyway I ordered pancakes and I like eating butter with my pancakes with butter not margarine they didn't have butter so go figure I will not be back even though I left a $10 tip if I would have said boo the waitress will jump... ...find you some good help I read a lot of the Yelp reviews and a lot of them are the same has to do with service not getting your food in a timely manner drinks not coming with the meal the service I just wonder do the people that run this place ever read the reviews
(1)Endie C.
the sweet potato pancakes is to die for and the food is great! Cons: its not tht big Pro: food is grt and its home cooked meals
(5)Octavia T.
My review is a bit limited as I only go for the sweet potato pancakes and my partner always gets the croquettes. Both selections are delicious! Service is friendly and fast(although the waitress always look like they came in from the club). I would give the food 4 stars (could use a little seasoning and I don't like the way they cook the potatoes). I give the place itself a 2.5- they definitely need to upgrade and I question he cleanliness. I bring my own bottled water just to be safe. It would also be nice if they used more fresh ingredients. I got the pasta primavera one day, ate two bites and tossed it. Full of frozen vegetables, no seasoning and bottled tomato sauce.
(3)Kathy A.
W O W! Unimpressive exterior and interior but amazing food and very friendly helpful staff. Our group had gumbo, catfish, ham & eggs, waffles, steak sandwich and Cobb salad. Every single item was cooked with care with fresh ingredients. Great prices too.
(4)Ursula P.
Really quaint place and the customer service was good. The prices were reasonable .Will definitely be back
(4)Robert L.
Food was superb. On our table, sweet potato pancakes, veggie skillet, veggie omelet, fried green tomatoes, bacon, grits. Highlight of table was a new item, blackened catfish stuffed with cornbread and crawfish, drizzled in a cajun cream sauce. Everything was made to order, cooked perfectly, and with love. Priced well for the mounds of food. WAIT SUCKED. BE PREPARED. Was a large group in there, hence 4 stars as opposed to 3.
(4)Richard R.
The food her was off the Damn chart good!!! I had stuffed catfish and gumbo!!!! My oh my!!!
(5)Glenn H.
I absolutely adore this place. The food is very high quality especially going off of the surrounding area and the cheaps are great as well. I have ordered mostly steak and eggs and while the steak has ton of flavor there is a bit of fat rendering on the sides but thats no biggie. The only slight I may have is sometimes they are understaffed which can lead to not being seated, not being able to order in a timely fashion and not being served fast enough but I still love it like a fat kid loves twix.
(5)Lei E.
I only go for the sweet potato pancakes. No, really...they are amazing and I go here once a week just for those. However, the other people I dine with also rave about their other food options, like the smothered pork chops, fried green tomatoes, and catfish. I have to take off a star for the slow service but the food and the prices are spot on.
(4)Florida P.
Their sweet potato pancakes are the best and I think the chef adds a special touch to the turkey sausage.
(5)Cassandra W.
I'm a frequent customer and I keep going back. Saturday, I had a great special. It was seared sea bass and fettuccine in cream sauce with bay scallops. Oh my God, it was so delicious. The sea bass was perfectly seared and moist. The fettuccine HD just enough cream sauce. I ate the whole thing and believe me it was a lot of food. The service is friendly and they cook your food on the spot. They also have great lamb chops and short ribs of beef as specials from time to time!
(5)LynnAz L.
Went today not satisfied. There are about ten tables for eat-in customers. They were full when we arrived. Most were already served but it seemed to take forever to get a table. When customers left waitress wiped seat and then table with the same towel. Once seated I got no drinks, no utensils. Order came I had to dip bread in my gumbo until I got a spoon. I ordered the small gumbo as an appetizer I ordered sweet potato pancakes for the entree. My sister got steak undercooked and then recooked without resting a friend got a skillet and gravy biscuits neither was good and other friend got catfish which was ok--me? Still no pancakes or pop. Then my sister ordered steak and the potato didn't come till she was thru. They took so long and my friends were almost done eating so I cancelled the pancakes. The gumbo was ok. I don't think I will go back.

Found this place on Yelp while looking for a good breakfast spot this morning. The food was great and my boyfriend loved it! I had the sweet potato pancakes...awesome! I wish I'd known they had nuts :-( Luckily I'm not allergic.I was able to scrape them off the middle. Turkey sausage was excellent!!! The man loved his ham, sausage, French toast, eggs and potatoes. We'll definitely be back. The best breakfast on the South Side by far!!
(5)L T.
One of the best breakfast spots on the Southwest side. If you order anything like a breakfast steak or a pork chop, be prepared to wait. The service is good and it won't take long before they're familiar with whatever is your "usual". Most of all, the food is really good and reasonably priced. I hope one day they open a Three Chefs on the southeast side
