    The food was amazing! However the service was just a bit slow and it was barely anyone in the restaurant. However I love supporting Black Owned Businesses. It was great.

    My boy Tee at the bar was phenomenal. Only thing I didn’t like is you will smell like fried chicken leaving there and it’s kinda smokey in there as well being the kitchen is in the same room as u eat. Music was top tier and food 10/10

    50 out of 10 is how I’d score L Station! We were greeted upon arrival and immediately seated. Our waiter was so sweet and answered all of our questions plus provided outstanding recommendations! They have great music playing, the entire ambience is an entire vibe. The turkey tips ( BBQ & Jerk) were finger licking good! Their mac and cheese was soooooo creamy & made with love, the sweet potatoes were on point!!! We also ordered a lemon drop tree & wooooooo baby it was worth every penny. This was our first time dining at L Station but it will not be the last! I will be sure to dine here every time I’m in Chicago!
