Customers rave about the quality of food, real southern style bbq and soul food. Place is usually full to whatever capacity is allowed, and once things can return to a new abnormal, they book great blues bands from the area, and are wanting to expand to include other genres. I pick up this place using third party delivery DoorDash, a ... read more

Neil St. Blues has some of the best food in town, hands down. Literally everything on their menu is on-point. Their catfish is unmatched in Champaign/Urbana. I recently ordered some food from them through DoorDash (the pick 3 meal with catfish, chicken, shrimp, and 2 sides, which were collard greens with turkey and red beans and rice ... read more

Came here on the recommendation of coworkers. This place did not disappoint! The Creole pasta was delicious! The service was on point. Very beautiful interior. The menu was diverse without being overwhelming. My boyfriend and I both ordered meals to go AFTER dining in 😆! Bring your appetite! Highly recommended!

I tried the blues burger and it was pretty good! The draft beer was nice and cold. The customer service was on point! Oh and I met a couple of cool people while I was at the bar. 😁 I'll definitely be going back and highly recommend.

Delicious! The catfish, wings, macaroni and cheese, fried green tomatoes, remoulade, potato salad, and shrimp and grits are all so amazingly good! I can’t wait to try other items on the menu.

I ordered delivery last night and it was absolutely fantastic! The Cajun Alfredo was delicious, but the hushpuppies and banana pudding were the best we ever had! Definitely ordering again!

James Cole via google.com - Sep 19, 2020
The food was excellent and staff was very nice. I had alligator po'boy. The shrimp po'boy had a nice kick. Banana pudding was best I have ever had. Philly steak egg rolls were really good and we had another appetizer that was very good as well. Honestly it is hard to pick the menu in general sounds great.

Neil St. Blues is one of the best all around places to eat in Central Illinois. Their menu contains some staple options, as well as plant-based substitutes. Neil St. Blues also has a full bar with a great drink menu. This black owned business is just a block from the Hyatt in downtown Urbana.
Michael Raices via google.com - Aug 27, 2020
Best place to get catfish and soul food sides! Catfish is crispy and perfectly seasoned. Mac n cheese has just enough salt and pepper. Greens are real and not from a can! And the cornbread is soft. Overall great place to eat!

Frog legs are delish. Drinks are delish. Food is full of flavor & you’ll definitely need a box to take your food home. Jul was our server & he’s the BEST. We’ll be back.
Lena Becerra via google.com - Aug 21, 2020
Me and my partner had mixed reviews on our takeout order. I got the Blues Burger which was super delicious! My partner got the yardbird and the two of us weren’t very big fans.
Danny Clark via google.com - Aug 17, 2020
Absolutely love the food, ambiance, and service. The owners are great people who really care about bringing amazing soul food to Champaign. Can’t wait to see how this restaurant grows!!
Ashley via google.com - Aug 17, 2020
Honestly one of the best places to eat in Champaign. Absolute banger. Ordered a vegan burger and it was top notch. Owner was busy at the bar but still stopped by our table to talk to us. I'd love to come again to see the live music.

Loved it! It's also great that they have the option of dining in, outdoor seating and takeout. I had the deep fried Catfish Fillet Dinner with sides of sweet potato fries , red beans & rice. I especially enjoyed the sweet potato fries. It's one of the best I've had - looks visually appealing and tastes great. A mix of waffle-looks an ... read more

Great service. Fast. Definitely delicious. Needed more salt in the greens and a tad bit more sugar in the sweet potatoes, but I’m from southern Indiana and we like sweet and salty.

Great service. They are doing a great job complying with covid regulations. Fried chicken was amazing, shrimp and grits needed a touch of salt but that is what hot sauce is for! Overall highly recommend supporting this great local business. Looking forward to when they can have live music.

DELICIOUS! We ordered off of GrubHub, got catfish, which came with mac and cheese and candied yams, a vegan oyster mushroom po boy sandwich, and extra fries. We live across town from Neil Street blues about 5 miles and our food was delivered hot. The cat fish was meaty and succulent, crispy on the outside with a mild seasoned breadin ... read more
