Black-Owned Restaurant and Business Directory

Chicago’s Black Food Industry is one that is rooted in faith, community, and resilience. As a transplant to Chicago, I was welcomed with open arms into this community, and have been fortunate to build a platform showcasing and supporting this industry through my work. Now more than ever, I feel it is my duty to give back and help the same community that gave me my start.

The directory features Black-Owned Restaurants as well as Small Businesses that don’t have a brick and mortar location. New features include alphabetical and numerical tabs, direct location maps for each listing, as well as specific colors to better distinguish each listing for an easier and more interactive experience.

Coffee Shops and Cafes, Bakeries, and Dessert Shops are highlighted in Orange
Restaurants/Bars are highlighted in Green
Small Businesses without a Brick and Mortar Location are highlighted in Red

Businesses with the ** symbol also offer online services for shipping, curbside pick-up, and/or contactless delivery.
