Dirty Tiff's Cafe - Jerk chicken, rice and peas, Mac and cheese, and collard greens - Soul Food Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Went to try this spot recently based off of recommendations and I was highly satisfied. Ok establishment w/ a small area to possibly dine in( 3 tables w/chairs). The lady at the counter was very warm and welcoming which is always great asset. I ordered the jerk shrimp dinner which included rice and peas and an additional two sides. I wanted the garlic mashed potatoes and cabbage but they didn't have any garlic mashed potatoes so I ordered double mac and cheese w/ a side of cabbage. The jerk shrimp were good but wasn't exactly the taste I was going for when "I" think about jerk shrimp. The jerk sauce was good but kinda gave me the jerk bbq sauce feel. Kind of sweet and tangy and a lil kick of heat. All my sides were good and no complaints in that area. Also ordered 1/4 white of just jerk chicken and that was good as well. I'm more of a heat than sweet person when it comes to eating jerk being why I didn't give 5 stars but I will definitely be returning to try other menu items. read more

Tried this place a couple of days ago very very good had the jerk catfish and my husband had the jerk chicken Very fresh and flavourful.

**update*** the owner contacted me and explained she's having a foam lit issue. Very much appreciated. Changing my 1 to a 5 star for the customer service alone! Praying everything works out for this family. Can't wait to taste the food. This would've been my first time here. This place is NEVER opened. I placed a pick up order the other night...on the website...when I arrived they were closed. Called the number on my bank statement and it was the merchant services who said they couldn't help me. I've been calling every day with no answer and unable to leave a message because the voicemail is full. If you've closed down say that!!! read more

Guyanese gyal here: I've got one word: delicious! I got the goat curry, collared greens, and cabbage. Great portions, with meat that melted off the bone. I've been raised on goat curry, and this place definitely delivered. It's a wonderful family-owned business, clean and yummy food. Highly recommend. read more

Dirty Tiff's Cafe - Goat curry, collard greens and cabbage, ALL delicious! - Soul Food Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

The food is very good ( jerk chicken) and sides. The cat fish is flavorful but a little too much char,(CARCINOGENS)... They must clean properly where the floors meets the wall (cove base),as to not Turn- off good pay customers. These simple corrections makes for a more comfortable and pleasant experience. I will continue to support this business! 4 stars read more

So this place isn't much to look at but omg! The food was so incredible! It was absolutely delicious! I'm not a fan of Mac N cheese, I'd get it again. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because they were out of the curry goat and oxtails! Trust and believe that I'm going to return! read more

This place was nearby a location I was working at. I must say I was very lucky this was the case. I am a truck driver so most of my food options are garbage while on the road but I did call the restaurant and let them know I was a truck driver they were nice enough to bring my food outside to my truck. This was some of the best catfish of had ever, Let's not forget about the candy yams or the greens as well. While on the phone I was asking them what is good on the menu. They told me everything and so far I can say that was highly accurate I cannot wait to be in the city of Chicago so that I can return to get another bite. I would recommend it to anyone looking for flavor and good food. read more

Dirty Tiff's Cafe - Fried Catfish - Soul Food Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Tiff, where do I start??? This food was SO FLAVORFUL in all different ways. Although a bit dry (it was at 830pm and white meat, in all fairness), the jerk chicken was so flavorful with this wonderful heat and grilled flavor. We also has the rice and peas, yams, and green beans with this entree, which did not disappoint. I had the sides of fried cabbage and the greens. Let me tell you, that fried cabbage was so delicious!!! Tiff send me home with some of their new, jerk chicken sausage to try and report back about. I will be making that this evening, as Tiff makes her chicken spaghetti with chicken sausage. Yummy!!! Can't WAIT to try it for dinner this evening. Tiff's husband is right our of Kingston, so this is authentic jerk with a soul food twist. Truly delicious! Since we live right down the street, we will DEFINITELY be back!!!! Can't wait 'til you can get those ox tails going again, Sis!! Looking forward to trying those, the short ribs, and the salmon, too! read more

I ordered through DoorDash, and to be honest, the food was a little over seasoned for my liking. The catfish had too much seasoning on it. The greens were good and I didn't care for the rice and peas. Overall, it was mediocre I wasn't blown away, but I will probably order again just for a second chance option read more

Support this wonderful spot! Food is amazing, very flavorful, great portions, and the staff is helpful with placing orders. Did I say very reasonable prices too? read more

The best food I've had in Chicago! Seriously, this meal knocked my socks off. I ordered the jerk chicken with rice & peas, mac & cheese, and fried cabbage. Everything was amazing but especially the mac & cheese! The portions are huge and very reasonably priced. I ordered through GrubHub and Tiff called me personally to verify one of my sides. She was so sweet and I really appreciated that she took the time to call. Don't hesitate to order from here - it's the best Caribbean / soul food you're gonna find. And don't forget the banana pudding! I'll be back next weekend lol. Five stars across the board. read more

My food is always fresh and tasty. I order before picking up and it's a smooth transition.

While visiting Chicago, ventured away from The city to this south side eatery. Soul food with a Caribbean touch! We ordered, Jerk fish, fried catfish, jerk chicken and everything was delicious. One of the best Mac n cheese. Owner Tiff came over and offered some great recommendations. Good portion large enough and we had left overs while in our hotel. While in Illinois gotta stop here for authentic Caribbean/soul food. Our family loved it! read more

Great food. Big portions. Made with love. I love Dirty Tiff's. I tried it on a whim and was blown away by the portions, quality, and service.

I can't wait to try this place in person - when COVID19 is under control. read more

A friend recently steered me to Dirty Tiff's. And I'm so happy he did. I ordered the jerk chicken, brown stew chicken, fried shrimp, steamed cabbage, green beans, and rice and peas. Everything was delicious. My husband said the jerk chicken reminded him of Jamaican vacations and my 3 year just kept saying - more please more please more please. Brown stew chicken is one of my favorite dishes and Dirty Tiff's version did not disappoint. The fried shrimp was perfect - lightly breaded and fried to perfection. And our sides were all nicely seasoned and generous in size. I can't wait to go back to try the beef stew! Check this place out, if not for the food, for the superior customer service. The owner was friendly, knowledgeable, and welcoming. It's wonderful to meet someone who takes pride in what they do and who values their customers. I will certainly return soon. read more

Amazing food and good value! Owner gave us free mimosas one of the times we came- and food feels like it was made with love. Highly recommend read more

Food was Great service was Great Sauce good Could be spicier But Good Beans We're Great yams and Cabbage is my favorite

The restaurant is decorated beautifully, and it's very clean. I was delightfully surprised to discover that indoor dining was available. Ok now to the GOOD STUFF...the food. I ordered a mixed jerk chicken dinner with cabbage. The serving size was plentifully. I had enough food for lunch & dinner. Everything was seasoned to perfection. The chicken had a kick without the jerk sauce. Good neighborhood eating. Jerk chicken is served daily, but the rest of the menu varies from day to day. Parking available. I will be back. read more

Man this was some of the best food I've had in a while. It hit all of the spots and then some! I've never had a plate where everything was delicious. I actually was eating and thinking like dang this taste better than my family's food and we can throw down! The portion sizes were great, the food was hot and fresh and the flavor was perfect! My mom and I both had the jerk catfish we shared our sides so we could try a bit of everything. We had the Mac and cheese it was a 10. The yams were fire. The greens and green beans was literally perfect and some of the best I've had. And to top it off the staff was so nice, gracious and just gave off good vibes and energy! I believe she is the owner. I will definitely be back and encourage everything to give them a visit and support this amazing black owned restaurant! read more

Food is incredible but they're never open, they say they close at 11 but for some reason they don't take any orders after 8PM, incredibly frustrating as this is one of my favorite places in all of Chicago ‍ read more

Food was everything was seasoned, nice food portions, and the owner was really sweet! Definitely will be back.

We were visiting Chicago and we were looking for a unique place to eat. We weren't so sure when we walked in, but we were pleasantly surprised by a truly delicious meal. We ordered the mixed Jerk chicken, cabbage and garlic mashed potatoes. There was also rice and beans under the chicken. Amazing flavor in every bite! When we got our food, we didn't think we'd eat it all-it was a generous portion. But we ate every single morsel. We had tried pizza, hot dogs and other Chicago specialties. This was by far, the best meal we had. We chatted with the owner and she is truly an amazing person. The food is the best we've ever had anywhere. Truly worth checking out! read more

It was ok but I probably wouldn't go back. I had the jerk white dinner with cabbage and Mac and cheese. The rice and peas had a sweet tomato paste taste which I did not care for. The Mac and cheese had a lunchroom feel to it because it was so yellow like they use Velveeta. Also, the jerk sauce was sweet as well. I'm a more savory person so the food was too sweet for my liking. read more

The restaurant is so good literally haven't had nothing like them in so long I love soul food and when I say they food is of the chain I really mean that nice a seasoned customer service is phenomenal I can't wait too try more of they food and to the owner nice work honestly read more
