for the soul
Voted Chicago’s Best Soul Food
we are family
Migrating from Greenwood, Mississippi and Franklinton, Louisiana, the late Samuel and Verlean Brown met and married in Chicago, Illinois in 1963. Their southern roots taught them to value traditions like home cooked meals, laughter, love, and spending time with family. The Brown's family legacy was passed down from generation to generation, inspiring us to share these same values with our community.
At Brown's Restaurant, we are committed to carrying out our family's traditions with others. Our mission is to share our family's values with our customers by serving love with every bite of our delicious food.

MADE FROM SCRATCH WITH LOVE
Our premium ingredients are locally sourced and prepared fresh from scratch daily. Our recipes have been handed down from generation to generation and have never been compromised. Our mission is to bring the love we shared at our dinner table to the rest of the world.
SEASONED TO PERFECTION
With great soul food, taste is everything. We pride ourselves on delivering perfect flavor profiles to give you a dose of nostalgia if you come from where we come from, or maybe a taste experience unlike anything you’ve ever encountered. In either case, Brown’s does not disappoint.
SERVING THE COMMUNITY
We opened this location on the west side of Chicago to stay true to our family’s migration story. Our family bought their first property in the Austin area, and we took it upon ourselves to be of service that same community. We discount and donate to make sure no one is left hungry.
