FYI the full regular menu is now available during their weekend brunch, in addition to the special brunch menu.

If you've ever traveled by car long distance on the two-lane and stopped by one of those eaterys with the huge gravel parking lots that can accommodate about seven big-rigs where the waitresses serve up hot joe and home cooking to lonesome truckers at the counter or gathered around on picnic benches with red checkered table cloths, then you've already been to Feed. If you've a hankering for collard greens, crispy fried chicken, ambrosial macaroni and cheese, or fried okra, then make your way out west on Chicago Avenue. Bring your own beer, though and make it a classic American lager. Don't stick a lime slice down the neck of your trendy import. This is a place where Belgian, or German wheat beers just don't quite fit in Schlitz, however, PBR, and Cold Duck feel right at home. I'll need to apologize to the owners for the "3" rating on service, but this is cafeteria-style service and you bus your own table. I wouldn't want somebody to go there on my recommendation and expect five-star service. The owners appear to have gone out of their way to re- exactly the correct atmosphere to complement the food: Down Home. Maybe next time I travel south toward Mobile, I'll just take US45 insted of I57, and I'l travel through places like Onarga, Brookport, and Tupelo. I'll take my father's advice, too, and stop in where the truck drivers eat. My next best bet is Feed.

I've driven by this place a couple times and always was interested because of the name. I had the pulled chicken with baked beans and cole slaw. The bbq sauce is really good and has a small kick, but I added hot sauce and it was very niiice. The slaw was good, not mayonaissey at all which I liked. The other sides that I saw weren't all that impressive. There was great down south music playing and the dessert looked good even though I didn't have any. This is a quick bite as you order at the counter and pick it up less than 5 min. later at the counter. I will return for sure.

Feed has a cozy and friendly atmosphere with the BEST comfort food I have found since moving to Chicago from Detroit. In the summer the back patio is a great place to chill and enjoy a Sunday brunch under the canopy of trees which give it a backyard feel. Try the pulled pork hash; it is possibly the tastiest thing ever.

The menu is very scarce and not enough selection to chose from, and the prices are a tad steep for a junky burger joint such as this one, come on, over $7.00 for a burger with bacon (which you never have) get real. The decor made me feel guilty and sad for even ordering food when right next to the counter you have pictures of homeless animals (especially the kitties) there are other options you could use to help the animals without making your customer feel like a heel for not donating. TAKE THE PICTURES DOWN, it's extremely tacky to beg while being paid for services rendered, if you care that much, donate a percentage of your take home pay each month to a animal charity or shelter, don't gouge the customer, physically and mentally, get some class and you'll see clearly what I mean.

I really enjoy the food at Feed. The people are friendly but who really cares when the food is good. I am dissappointed by their new "weekend brunch" menu. This is one of the most least reasoned things I have seen a restaurant do, change the menu on the weekend when people are showing up expecting your normal menu and then not offering it. Good luck with this one, I will be eating somewhere else.
