Different Strokes is a good soul food joint in the front and a party place in the back. In addition to being one of the city's best kept soul food secrets, Different Strokes is one of Chicago's many unsung dance halls. The menu ranges from a variety of breakfast dishes to inexpensive and large-portioned soul food dinners. There is a banquet hall used for weddings and parties and a cocktail lounge where blues and jazz bands play on the weekends. If you step into the back, you'd better be ready to dance.
