If you want the best, fresh (you can see the live fish in a tank, and observe the filleting) grilled catfish (fillet) you’ll have to ask for it. But you will be rewarded with the most tender catfish you’ve ever had. The seasoning was perfect and it comes with a container of hot sauce if you want some heat. The yams were delicious and the greens (collard) had a hambone to enhance the flavor. Authentic soul/seafood at its finest right there in Rockford, IL.

I really did not want to hate this place. I went here for the 1st time and placed my order of catfish fillets and dressing and a chicken wing and catfish nuggets basket.
I waited almost an hour for my food just to be told they didn’t have catfish fillets ( Strike one).
So I got chicken wings instead. After waiting and finally getting my food the catfish nuggets were absolutely terrible, I couldn’t eat it. And the fries were just too gross. Not edible food at all. (Strike Two)
Then I got the booty part of the bread (strike three)
Fries 0/0 not edible
Catfish nuggets 0/0 not edible
The chicken wings was 6/10
Dressing was 7/10

Great Food with awesome portion sizes. We had the chicken and ribs with sweet potatoes, greens, garlic toast and corn bread. Yummy. Catfish is a must try. We prefer the nuggets. Must try in Rockford!!!

1st time trying. Didnt have what I went for so I got the rib dinner. Ribs were mixed with older cooked ribs so made many pieces tough,greens had a bone in them and no season,dressing was good until I came across some really dry pieces of meat so most likely was also not cooked fresh. My corn bread burnt to a crisp. Toast was decent. Not worth $17 or the $3 tip. I can cook all of the above and this dinner wasn’t!!

First time here. More bbq that soul food. Did not have the mac&cheese in ;disappointing.
Had the rib tips, fried okra, yams and corn bread biscuit.
Rib tips are all right, nothing special. Fried okra is very good. Yams were very good. Cornbread was a little dry. I ordered an additional cornbread biscuit and did not receive it
Service is great
Cash only. No seats to eat inside.
Would I drive the 20 miles to go back to it, probably not.
But I highly suggest to support your local owners

Excited workers in todays economy, you will find them here at Chuc a Luc. Welcomes, greetings and questions about your fish needs. You select your choice of fish from the inside pond and they keep netting until they get the fish you desire. Next, they inquire about how you need your fish processed: steaks, filets, thickness. Even recommended you keep the fish heads for your gardening needs. Fresh catfish killed without the muscles tightening leaving you with rubbery fish, NOT at Chuc a Luc. You can see and taste the freshness in every bite.
