The rib bones had an after taste, not a pork favor, something disappointing. My advice to potential customers is order in the evening, most restaurants sell leftover food upon opening until those leftovers are sold out. WE want fresh off the grill food!!! I support black owned businesses but I don't support food that doesn't taste good , and those ribs I was served weren't worthy of any customer.

I swear everytime I've gone into a fish place recently they've all been out of catfish, but luckily…read morenot today! This black owned business has above average standing room in the waiting area, two TVs and an ATM with a good amount of seats/benches. Seems like it might've been an old chinese food joint with a few tables, but they opted for a pure takeout experience (which is unfortunately the trend nowadays.) Since it was my first time I thought I'd try both the fish and chicken combo along with the dirty rice. The total came out to be $24 with the wait being about 15 minutes. The staff overall were nice.      After leaving the place and checking the food. I realized that the combo dinner didn't contain a roll and coleslaw like advertised which was kind of disappointing. It did have the fries though. The requested lemon pepper was there, but they also seasoned the chicken/catfish with garlic powder, salt and parsley which is fine. Everything was fried hard, but not dry which creates the perfect pleasurable crunch. The chicken and fish tasted better than a lot of the restaurants in the area with the fish having a lightness to the breading that's sorely missed. Some of the chicken was weirdly tough though as if it was slightly undercooked.      Speaking of misses we have to talk about the dirty rice. Dirty rice is one of those dishes that seems like it either is absolute perfection or an abomination with no in-between. This unfortunately falls into the latter with it not only looking boring with all brown notes, but the initial taste as well as texture being an off putting creamy rancid trip to flavor hell. After a just a few bites my stomach turned which does not bode well for this dish. I have no idea what went wrong here, but it seems like it may have been sitting out too long. Even the smell was a bit rancid. At least it has a good ratio of ground beef to rice which a lot of places skimp on. They also attempted to add in some vegetables like peppers although they are barely noticeable.       Overall Surf's up is a good spot with friendly staff, decent prices, but some issues with quality. My advice is to make sure the cooking temps are correct and consistent. Definitely make sure if food is sitting idle, that it is kept at the mandatory minimum of 140 degrees farenheit to avoid it going rancid so quickly. Also, double check the orders before sending them out or edit the menu if it is outdated.

It was clean, offered a bathroom for customers, and great customer service. I was so happy to support. They actually had vegan milkshakes and vegan burgers, and it was right in my own hood.

She then told me she would have to cancel the order once the system was back up I asked couldn't I just get my shake. She said no now I have to file a claim with my bank since I never received what I paid for and I never received a refund shame on them and I will never be back u only have one time to treat me poorly!!!

Food is great no issues there but it is a crap shoot on if they will have the majority of the items…read moreon their menu. We have been a total of ten times, there was only ONE visit where everything we wanted they had available. Today is 07/26/26, we arrived at 2:17 pm and there were at least 7/8 items already sold out. How does that happen and the business opens at 11 and closes at 9. I truly understand how expensive food is and no restaurant wants food waste but running out of a significant amount of items on your menu with seven hours until closing is unacceptable. Also, the website needs to be worked on. The site does not show the menu in total. Additionally, if you call the restaurant they never answer the phone. Please note, we will travel for good food. We come from Evanston but I think this might be our last trip for the foreseeable future.

My guess is that they're refrying it after it gets cold, it was incredibly tough in texture... Don't waste your money here.
