Dined in at Vari today. I was pleasantly greeted. Host (didn’t get her name) was very patient as I reviewed the menu and was undecided as there were so many great choices. Decided on fried pork chops dinner. I had 3 sides – greens, spaghetti, and Mac and cheese. Everything was hot and fresh. I topped it off with a large cup of kook-aid. (Even took a cup to go). Friendly atmosphere. I will definitely come back. The drive from Oswego was worth it.

I’m out of town from Oklahoma and my friend and I selected this place because of Google. The pictures online was what made us choose it. Everything looked delicious! It was SO good! We had fried rib tips, catfish, wings, Mac & cheese, and collard greens! Every thing was good! The owner was friendly and came to check on us multiple times to make sure our food was correct and tasting good. I wish I’d have taken pics of the food because I left there FULL and satisfied. The food was hot and fresh, perfectly seasoned! If I’m back in the Chi again, I’d definitely come back!

In search of soul food restaurants on the Westside of Chicago (suburbs) that is consistently good. Stumbled onto Vari’s which owner says has been there for 9 month. It’s carry-out and dine-in with decent tables and chairs after ordering at the counter. I ordered the catfish which was seasoned and fried to perfection. Nice thick, large pieces. Sides were spaghetti with meat sauce (prefer all together), and Mac&chez and corn muffin. Sides were small, altho, tasty. I also ordered fried rib tips which I was a pleasant surprise. Tips were very good (pic below) and I’d definitely reorder. Overall, the food is good, may be a bit pricey compared to similar restaurants, but it’s good to have a decent soul food place on the west side of the city. I recommend trying them out. I don’t know any place with fried rib tips so that’s an advantage.

I came all the way from Florida to try Vari’s Southern Cuisine because of the pictures on FB. When I tell you the food looks EXACTLY how the pictures look and the taste is even better!!! I had the fish basket and my sister had the shrimp and grits… they both were PHENOMENAL!!! WHENEVER, I’m in the Chicagoland area, I will DEFINITELY VISIT AGAIN!!! The service was SUPERB…very CLEAN… the workers wears gloves… and she sells koolaid (so nostalgic)… VARI’S gets an A+++ from me and the owner is beautiful, inside and out

The First Day I stopped in at 11:00 the young man stated were not opening till 11:30 in my the sign stated 11:00 strike one for me ,the next day I stopped in at 12:00 I asked for Turkey chill which was on the menu she (the owner ) stated I only sell soups when it’s cold outside!! I stated no problem can I order some Turkey Tacos she in turn stated we don’t have any Tacos either now I’m thinking why is it even on the menu if u don’t have it ? I guess she saw the frustration In My face so she began to name what they did have never the less I was forced into trying the Fish combo the Fish was pretty good I must say but there was all of ten shoe string French fries unlike the picture that I just seen on the website… I most likely will not revisit the Restaurant to much of a guessing game…..

Place a large last minute order for our Black History Month potluck at work, and they had it ready in time for me to pick up the next day. Very sweet and attentive staff, and the food was hot and delicious! Will definitely be using them again for future catering events!
