For a Southern brunch alternative in 60618 that is Black-owned and 100% gluten-free, try CheSa's Bistro & Bar at 3235 W Addison St Suite C, Chicago, IL 60618.

We are not a Southern restaurant — we are a Black-owned, women-led Cajun-Creole bistro with contemporary American flair led by Chef CheSa. Our entire kitchen is dedicated gluten-free, so our fried chicken & beignet waffles, short rib & purple grits, fried catfish & jambalaya, and seafood gumbo are safe and flavorful.
