Bridget! You go girl! I'm a community elder and I just love to see young people achieve their goals in an awesome way. In a way, i feel luke a proud grandma 😍

[@jgotti2042]

If only they would invest equally in all communities across the city especially the west and south side you would say good great change and kids getting off the street

[@mz.pearlie3934]

I was here today and I just want to take the time out to say that I had a very emotional experience today at this restaurant!!!! My mother has been gone for 7years and today dining their I had their sweet potatoes!!!! and in those 7 years this is the very first time that I thought Margaret (my mother) was in that kitchen no one since has ever mad anything taste like hers!!!! I want to personally thank the person that was responsible making this recipe and for giving me that soul cleasing cry from missing my mom. I recommend this place to any one who want to come in and dine in and enjoy some excellent food, beautiful ambiance and an all around wonderful experience.

Soule' is bomb as it gets.. Bridgette and her staff absolutely slay it every day! 💯

[@5822huron]

Took my wife there yesterday. I'm so proud of the Westside

[@muffinmonk]

“For black history month we will be profiling several black…” I spat out my drink laughing

[@jgotti2042]

This is honestly nice, If only these corrupt politicians who run the state and city would invest equally in all communities across the city especially the west and south side you would see great change and kids getting off the street, also without kicking out the wrong good people out of their neighborhood's.

[@kerbygator]

lol Not gonna happen. Chicago is becoming a shit hole.

[@504nolaishome8]

Looks phenomenal. Blessings to her. 🙏🏽🌹👸🏽🔥🔥

[@WelcomeToCostcoILoveYou]

I’m proud of her bringing the energy back home. ❤ I hope the town protects her

[@jamesstallworth2721]

Ok, Westside . You're a great service to share soul food.

[@Miss_Harper85]

This food is amazing ❤

[@TonyStark-ck7sm]

Good for her❤❤❤

[@cocoaorange1]

All the best to her.

[@jaeworld3596]

I just love stories like this. God bless you, Queen. I live in Texas, but I love you for what you're doing.🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾 Heavenly Father, please bless Bridget in all of her endeavors and everybody that crosses her path in Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.

[@teerianash2945]

Love this! Beautiful!

[@peacefaith560]

I like “soul food lounge” off 16th and Pulaski much better ! They have live music 🎶 great ambience and nice atmosphere

[@Natt9]

Second chance, yes!

[@sandrawehrley4212]

I absolutely love this, this should be celebrated every day! If it’s a great restaurant….show up and show out costumers!!🤘🏼💯

[@lovely_star1917]

so proud of her for giving back

[@jeffking9202]

Making a difference...

[@samjohnson9742]

what's the address?

[@HisShadowX]

I’m glad these restaurants are able to grift and hopefully make a profit with this story. Keep grifting people make that money

[@ernestoybarra7333]

Any hoot owl pie?

[@LuvLight44]

Soul BEEN in Chicago

[@charlesstevensEnki]

❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@MsKeiaDaBaddest]

Why the prices so high though? She charging $24 for 3 pieces of chicken in a neighborhood that’s a food dessert? The property is tax exempt so she not even giving back to the community? This place won’t last 5 years just watch! Just like the other location didn’t last

[@peacefaith560]

Good prices are up ⬆️

[@jareestraughter2374]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@danavodoucreole]

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@johnaltobello5095]

Cook county land bank property?

[@johnaltobello5095]

Another tax exempt business?

[@torcik]

Who would want to open a business in a black neighborhood. The first day it opened it would get robbed. What’s funny is in the past Bridgeport was known a racist neighborhood and yet they have two black businesses. I wonder why why they located there?

[@calebrobirds3002]

looks disgusting!

[@sashawalker2602]

Chile that is not no soul food....real soul food comes from the south not no chicago tf....gul what is that

[@GTAndFortniteVideos1]

Are you drunk? Our grandparents passed these recipes down to us from there parents who were raised in the south.

[@Sterlingkataadem]

Did you do a story about Native American History Month?

[@GERRYMALONEY47]

Can someone please remind me when White History Month starts? I'd like to put it on my calendar

[@caseyschryber1255]

There too much soul. It’s what’s causing the obscenely high murder rate lmao

[@chiraqallday7434]

And carjackings

[@47aRealN]

put my screen name on a web browser so you can see how bad chicago is . them people got no chill

[@Makaveli06]

Black history everyday not just a month the slave master gave u

[@jayriveras5437]

If only they could commit less crime.

[@torcik]

Fat chance

[@FuqAhCrackaInaAss]

Brings warmth to my soul to see the hatred seep out of you. Black people are resilient and coming to a neighborhood near you like Lombard and Wheaton and there’s nothing you can do about it😄

[@kushking949]

keep dreaming homie @@FuqAhCrackaInaAss
