    5/5 - I'd Drive an Hour Again, Happily (and I hate driving) Listen... if I drive an hour for food, it better slap. And Cubana Grille? SLAPPED. African-Jamaican fusion that's fresh, flavorful, and legit. The vibes are chill, the decor is cute, and the owner is an angel. He let my friends throw me a surprise baby shower here . I went all in with the Afro-Caribbean platter: jollof rice, rice & peas, curry chicken, jerk chicken, and cabbage. Plus it came with this tasty little curried potato + carrot situation. *Chef's kiss* Chicken fell off the bone! Both rices were flavorful, and the cabbage was cooked just right. Washed it all down with a Jamaican pineapple soda (so good) and also grabbed a chicken patty because why not? No regrets. I hate driving. I complain the whole time. But I'd absolutely trek back out here with no complaints. That should tell you everything.

    Met a friend here on a Sunday evening. We had no reservations so we took a chance. When you walk in the decor is very nice. It was no one there so our waitress let us pick our own seats. There were tables with nice chairs and booths. We chose a table. I will say our waitress was very truthful if we asked a question about food or drink preferences. I got the jerk chicken with sides and my friend got the fried chicken. Everything was good just wish the jerk chicken had a little bit more flavor. Also wish they were not out of jollof rice

    Foo foo dish

    I saw an IG post which enticed us to come because my daughter wanted to try foo foo. We arrived about bit after 7pm and were seated immediately. There were a few other tables of people and others started coming in shortly thereafter. Inside is decorated nicely - cool, chill atmosphere. We were given menus and looked them over to decide what we wanted. There was one server at the time we were seated, but two more started afterwards when more people arrived. We got the beef patty, chicken patty,and Nigerian meat pie to share between the 4 of us. My son loved the beef patty and daughter loved the chicken patty. The Nigerian meat pie was good but not our favorite of the three. I had the curry chicken, hubby & son got shawarma, and my daughter got the foo foo dish. I loved my curry chicken with spinach and jolloff rice - very flavorful. Hubby & son enjoyed their shawarma. My daughter didn't exactly love the foo foo though. She did taste some of our food and enjoyed it better than hers. Overall, good food. I really wanted oxtail but didn't want to spend the $40 for the dish. I'm sure it's great though and may try on another visit.

    Oxtails, fried rice and cabbage.

    My first time ordering on door dash and I will never order again. This plate cost $50. I ordered oxtails and this is what I was given! Please save yourself some time

    We've driven past here several times and wanted to give this place a try. Service was good, but dishes were overly priced. We thought it would be mean to just walk out, so we decided to stay and give if a shot. My fried chicken was crispy but had no flavor on the inside. I was disappointed. We, unfortunately, won't be back.

    Beef Suya

    Everything was delicious. The jerk chicken is so moist and falls off the bone. Beef Suya is great, just needs more spicy. Oxtails were fantastic and the cabbage is amazing. Nigerian meat pie was amazing too. Beautiful location and service was great. Will be back.

    Delicious!! I ordered the jerk chicken with cabbage and rice. The chicken was flavorful, well spiced, and fell off the bone! I highly recommend this place!!

    Puff Puffs (4 to an order)

    This was our second time visiting. We ordered almost the same as before (jerk chicken, jollof rice, Jamaican meat pie, veggies & puff puffs). This time though we ordered our food to-go. The taste was consistent to our first visit and the portion sizes were decent although the veggies (cabbage for me and spinach for my wife could have been a bit more generous). We were also disappointed we had to split the meat pie when the online photo showed two. During our previous visit the owner mentioned they were planning to add a few Cuban dishes to the menu to address the confusion over the name. We did not notice anything Cuban was added but did still see the banner hanging outside that says Nigerian and Jamaican food. We assume that means they are going to live with the controversy. Overall, still a somewhat pricier meal. Probably more of a "dining experience" than lunch or dinner option. If you do go enjoy your food on-site to partake of the ambiance, hospitality and culture.

    Food and atmosphere were great! Afro beats music and vibrant decor are very welcoming. The owner came to our table and greeted our group of 8 and we had a very attentive waitress. My chicken curry fell off the bone, the puff puff was perfectly sweet and crisp on the outside and o loved the spinach and plantains. If you're a ginger fan, try the pineapple ginger drink! So good! Can't wait to come back. I can definitely see myself hosting an event or party here that's larger than our small baby shower dinner.

    Great ambiance and amazing food. I had the jerk chicken with cabbage and jollof rice. Service was fast and outstanding! Will be back.

    Smokey flavored vinegar, pickle juice with a dash of barbecue sauce they call jerk sauce
    Leslie H.

    So I love eating out, but it just disturbs me. I literally paid $25 for these baby pieces of chicken. They can't even cover the whole palm of my hand, some dried rice and peas a scoop of cabbage and a jerk sauce that taste like water down hot sauce with a smoky flavor. they say sometime we can be our own worst enemies and yes, I was my own worst enemy today because I should've known better ...but seriously I literally paid $25 for a bowl of food like there is nothing on this plate like I could have went to Olive Garden or the taste of the islands Jamaican place and got a plate of food A FULL PLATE for half of this price. I have more rice on my plate than anything I mean was this Chicken cut from a baby that wasn't grown enough yet is these like baby chickens it's dry and Cold. I Definitely will not be going back.. and this not even jerk sauce I don't know what this is. This is some kind of smoky flavor taste like vinegar in it or something or pickle juice hot sauce with a pinch of barbecue sauce in it or something. I appreciate the hospitality when I came inside nice team but I literally wasted $25

    Catfish & fries, Jerk chicken with rice and peas
    Rheanna A.

    The ambiance and decor of this place is nice. My boyfriend and I stumbled upon this place and our stomachs were prepared to feast. I ordered the catfish and fries and I was excited about it because I've been wanting some good catfish and you can't go wrong with fries. I was wrong. Exactly how the plate looks in the picture is exactly how it was left. I tried the catfish by itself and it was very bland, no flavor whatsoever. I tried the fish with ketchup and some sort of sauce they had, that made it no better. The catfish was fried really well and looked good the fries were bland as well. I had my boyfriend try it and he didn't care for it either. I'd give the catfish plate a 2/10. My boyfriend had the Jerk Chicken, he said it was okay but it didn't taste authentic not much flavor there either. He ate more than I did. When one of the girls asked how was the food. I proceeded to give her my honest feedback, she went and got the gentleman who may or may not be the owner. I told him feed back regarding the food and he tells me "it's just your tastebuds". Then proceeded to talk about a ladies night. That honestly rubbed me the wrong way a little bit, I am huge on customer service and customer retention, he wasn't rude or anything I just didn't care for the response like my tastebuds are lying to me. I dislike wasting money on food so needless to say I more than likely won't be back. However I do hope this business prospers and maybe it was just an off day I'm not sure but I wish the staff and owners well

    The ambiance was beautiful, the service was great, the food was very good extremely flavorful. I purchased the foo foo however, I was very disappointed that I had more fat than meat.

We opted for the lounge area as the seat offered to us there was better to our preference. The tables are packed quiet tightly which i dont like personally but i get it. That tidbit aside it is definitely a cool environment. Service was really nice and the food we ordered was great. I presume it's the same menu as J Theodore so I'm going to have to try that now for a more restaurant style meal. This is a cool place to hang out and bring friends imo. Since we don't really drink we'll probably end up at the restaurant next time as it's not easy to eat on tiny tables. It's a bar/lounge after all.

I lucked out and found this place; came there on a Monday night and it wasn't busy at all. Their smoking area was small, but laid out extremely well with leather chairs and a large TV screen. The humidor was also rather small, and several of the cigars were pricier than I've seen. Where this place takes the cake is the ambiance, service and whiskey selection. My hostess, Mary, was extremely attentive and provided good recommendations on the food and beverages. And regarding the whiskey - their selection was massive. Mary recommended a Texas bourban (Unbendt BiB) that was delicious. It was so good that I brought a bottle back to Chicago. Highly recommend this place for a cigar smoker looking for a good meal + cigar in a quiet/intimate environment.

We had reservations but there was no major crowd at 5:30. The place is contemporary, white tiles, brass finishes. Fully stocked bar. Nice big windows.

We split the SPREADABLE WHIPPED LEMON BASIL GOAT CHEESE. Loved this. But note to the Chef or food prep - the toast crackers had so many holes in the bread, there was NO surface for the spreadable.

I took a peek at their dinner and brunch menus, and I'll definitely be back to check those out soon. Such a cute spot with great food, great people, and a great vibe.
