I got the value meal with dark meat jerk chicken, plantains, rice and beans. It was very nice value, around $10 for lots of food. The chicken was good, I really enjoyed the sauce that came with it too. We all enjoyed our meals, and it was a good experience! I think it's a good spot for jerk chicken in the north suburbs and I would definitely recommend.

Pros: I like the atmosphere of this place. Bright colors inside and outside! Great vibes, couches are comfortable, art work on walls is amazing. I saw a sign that there is a parking lot across the street for customers If taking public transportation, red line Howard exit is a couple blocks away. Roof top is a wonderful aspect of Good to Go! I had the pleasure of attending several private parties and rooftop staff and bar staff are lovely! Cons: customer service in restaurant. One of the bus boys was sweeping the floor around us when we were first seated. I told him to move because my phone charger fell by my feet and I did not want him to sweep my phone cord. He also did not know the menu when we asked for brunch menu. We were told menu online/Google was not their current menu. Wait staff took their time to obtain our order. The wait staff also only gave us only 1 creamer for coffee and was told it was the last creamer, milk was provided. Plus the place does not provide free refills of coffee. The atmosphere and food makes up for the customer service. I would visit again to try drinks at the bar.

On the list of sides of next time: baked macaroni and cabbage. It's a to-go place so no dine in like the former restaurants in this space pre-COVID. Wish carry out wasn't in styrofoam, but understand that's the low price option and maybe other customers aren't demanding something biodegradable or reuseable.

It took a while to come out (they warn you about that with seafood dishes), but it was worth the wait. It came out piping hot and full of flavor. Spicy, but not too much (I grow and eat ghost peppers, so take that with a grain of salt). Ambiance is take-out, and they were reservedly friendly. I plan to go back again before I go home. The only problem is that there's about three things I want to try. OK. I went back for another round, and had the escovitched catfish, again with dumplings and cabbage. Delicious! Especially when paired with Jamaican ginger beer. The fried fish paired perfectly with the pickled veggies and sliced scotch bonnets. I'm back home now, but if I make it back to the area, I plan to try the snapper brown stew.

I'm writing this review late. I went to Red's about a year ago, and I was not impressed. Not only…read morewere they out of some items, but the food wasn't very good or tasty. I've now been to Belize eight or nine times and tried many different types of Belizean food, and they definitely missed the mark on everything. The service was okay; there was only one attendant when I went, and since the restaurant isn't very spacious, the atmosphere felt more like a pick-up-and-go place rather than a sit-down restaurant. That might have changed over the year, but at that time, it hadn't. The stewed chicken was very disappointing, and the rice and beans were also tasteless. Maybe they were having a bad day, so you might want to give them a second chance.

Both were okay, just not quite hitting the flavor I'm used to, and they definitely could've used more filling. It does look like a typical patty spot you'd find in Jamaica, just with more seating.

I also saw they had gizzada (which I completely forgot to order), so I'll definitely be back to try that next time.

I got the standard order and also ordered a side of Mac & cheese to try it out. I got a free drink with Yelp check in but the worker didn't know about it and had to call the owner. I got my meal to go and hubby got a meat patty for us to try on the ride home. It was hot, flaky and very tasty! When we got home the first thing I noticed was no sauce, and they didn't ask if I wanted sauce on the side or on the food. Still, the chicken was cooked well and the level of spice was perfect! I'm just used to jerk sauce, at least on the chicken. Yet despite no sauce the chicken was tasty and the white meat was not dry, although I will say that the pieces were noticeably small. The cabbage was a bit crunchy but delicious, as was the rice & peas and the plantains. I wasn't impressed with the look of the mac & cheese (looked like Kraft and not homemade) but it was tasty also. I had enough food for two meals so the value is good. Overall I enjoyed it and I think I found a new Jamaican spot.

If you're going to get food from here, call the number on the sign or order online. I made the…read moremistake of walking-in to make an order. My wait time on a Friday afternoon at 5pm had a 40-minute wait time. How do I know? Because I kept feeding the meter on the online parking app. There were many delivery people picking up food, including some folks that may have just finished a work shift and was grabbing food before going home. No I didn't get the pizza. I believe because Loyola University sits in the neighborhood, the restaurant is catering to the college kids by offering pizza. I decided to order some food for myself and husband - jerk wings, brown-stew chicken and jerk catfish - both with candied yams, rice and peas, and plantains; plus one slice of rum cake. After 25 minutes I checked on my order and was told there were no more candied yams, and I can replace it with cabbage and select 2 can sodas. When I got home, one of my orders actually did have candied yams, but somehow both included cabbage and macaroni and cheese. OK?! Well I guess I'll get to sample all of their sides! Let's start with the Jerk Chicken Wings. The presentation could have been worked on, however, the flavor was actually good and different from other places I've been. It had sort of a sweet and spicy flavor, but not overwhelmingly spicy. If I was to go here again, I wouldn't get the jerk catfish because they give you catfish fillet and not catfish steaks - which is what I prefer. Plus for the price - $25, I believe there should be more fish in this container. Can you see the catfish in my attached photos? No?! That's because it's in the top right corner underneath the jerk gravy (great flavor by the way). In fact, all the food had great flavors; especially for carryout. The candied yams were my favorite. Second would be the rice and peas. My hubby tried his food the next day and said the rice tasted mushy but had a good flavor. We believe that it was mushy because it had been over 24 hours and various refrigeration at home and his job. The chicken pieces were all dark meat (legs and thighs). On the online menu, it's called Jamaican Black Cake, but in the restaurant, it's called Rum Cake. Well you taste the rum on first bite, after that it tastes like raisins. I don't have to get that again. I've definitely have had better rum cake, and didn't have to pay $8 for a small sliver. I'm giving this restaurant 3 stars because of the enormous wait time, my order mix up and the not so tasty and expensive Black Cake / Rum Cake.
