Good to go, and good to enjoy in as well! Good to Go gives you a taste of the Caribbean right in the backyard of the Chicago North Shore. Located in Evanston, the restaurant gives you a taste of the city without having to go downtown. With the homey asthetics and the endless picture opportunities the vibes are immaculate. When parking, there is a parking lot located right across the street for free rather than paying for street parking. They do have limited spots available but it is free if it's available otherwise it's only a few dollars for a few hours of parking. I got to try the Jerk steak tacos today and let me just say the flavors were out of this world! From the juiciness of the steak to the delicious salsa each bite was better than the last. There were no crumbs left to spare, and when I got home I wanted more already! I can't wait to try more of their dishes, and of course their drinks! I've heard nothing but great things about their rum punch! Yummy! :)
I always come back for the service. I never have complaints about it. I always sit at the bar or the rooftop when it's open. Recently, they decided to remove the oxtail rolls from the menu and that was also 1 of the only reasons I go because besides those I know better tasting Caribbean restaurants. Not sure I'll take the drive anymore to frequent this place. Jerk chicken and estovitch are good. My friend wasn't a fan of their seafood pasta. I always get the oxtail gravy on the side because the rice and peas are always dry.
While the look and feel of this restaurant is good on a Friday night. The music on point a calm warm welcoming Jamaican vibe. The ox tails are not worth the dynamic pricing of 40.00. The price on the menu should be the price charged. The Mac and cheese ( with 1.00 up charge ) shouldn't have the day old reheated look, and the dish it's served in should be full. As should the steamed cabbage although not a full bowl still juicy. My meal wasn't that bad and was good The starburst drink was very good and not iced or watered down. once I realized the ox tails didn't come with rice and switched my Mac and cheese for rice and peas. My meal felt more home grown. And the Carmel cake although a tad on the dry side was worth the 9.00. Please note to support its workers this restaurant has an auto gratuity of 18.00%.
Very nice waitstaff. Food took a long time. And when it finally came it was disappointing. Chicken Caesar salad was very watery. Chicken wings were dry and 4 wings for $10, seems a bit much Rib tips were overly salty and rice was bland. Limited metered parking Not sure I'll be back soon
I came here one night for dinner. On this particular night they only had seating on one half of the restaurant due to a market/ vendors using the other side. The owners were there and were really nice and welcoming. We were able to be seated right away and the staff encouraged us to check out the vendors. They have indoor and outdoor seating. It was cold out so we decided to sit inside. We ordered drinks and looked over the menu. Everything looked so good! But I decided to go with the curry shrimp dinner. The food didn't take long to come out. I will definitely be back when I am back in town.
We came here on the suggestion of an acquaintance after a celebration. She described it as 'upscale Jamaican'. We ordered drinks, asking for house wine and well drinks, noting that there is a Happy Hour menu between 4-6, where house wines and well drinks are listed $6 and $8. It was around 5pm. The appetizers were good, I did not try the jerk nachos, but I did get a jerk wing. It was not super spicy, but it was well seasoned with a kick. We wanted collard greens but they were out, so we ordered callaloo, a similar leafy green dish. I liked this better than the greens! The fried chicken, plantains and rice were all good. I think I like the chicken best of all. Moist but not greasy, maybe a tad salty though. I wonder if the menu was more 'upscale southern/creole' than Jamaican. For dessert we ordered rum raisin bread pudding (they also have rum raisin ice cream, which I suspect may be Haagen Das.) I would like to try the grape nut ice cream (no it's not the cereal!) next time. The rum raisin bread pudding was DEF worth the trip (no whipped cream but ok). the reason I have 3 stars, when I'd rather put 3.5 instead of my usual 4, was the drinks/bill problem: we were charged FULL PRICE for our drinks! We told the waitress, who was pleasant and informative, that we thought the drinks would be discounted. She said we have to ASK for the discount, or tell them we are ordering from the Happy Hour Menu! THey didn't have a separate Happy Hour menu, but we saw a list written as 'house wine and well drinks'. I forget where we saw the term Happy Hour, but we assumed that ordering during Happy Hour was enough to warrant the discount prices. Our bread pudding was not included on the bill, and when I pressed the issue about the drinks, she did comp us. Since we were a sizeable group our tip was already added, and the manager (owner?) checked on us. We did not bring up the drink issue. The atmosphere was quiet for a Monday pm, and we liked the tvs showing news. We took food home and really liked it, but I'd maybe opt for carryout if I go back.
It's unfortunate that I have to leave this review. I visited on Saturday for an early Mother's Day brunch with my mother and sister-in-law, and the service was disappointing. We had a reservation but the restaurant was fairly empty when we arrived. We ordered entrees for 5 adults, and pancakes and mac and cheese for my 2 kids. Two people from our table ordered fried chicken dishes. The wait for our food was unreasonably long. It was such a long wait that eventually I had to ask them to at least bring out my kids' food. It was over an HOUR between the time we were seated to when our food arrived. And then, after that long wait, my husband's fried chicken was undercooked - it was still pink inside! And the other fried chicken entree was too salty. The waitress never came to check on our table the entire time. The drinks we ordered were never refilled. And still, the restaurant was fairly empty, so I don't know what could have possibly taken so long for our food. They were nice enough to take the uncooked chicken off our bill, though.
What a Great Place to Celebrate Your Best Friend's Birthday! Good to Go in Evanston, IL. will have you cross the boarder of Chicago to experience some really good Jamaican cuisine. In fact, this place will have you come back for the Great Customer Service, alone. When a restaurant has servers like Cleopatra and Kayla who are warm, welcoming and knowledgeable; you know that you are about to enjoy your experience. On 2/8/2023, Cleopatra and Kayla served us steak and jerk lobster tail, the Jamaican National Dish: ackee and saltfish, yams, rice and beans, steamed cabbage, vegetable spring rolls, festival (fried sweet bread that's taste like a really moist cake donut), and rum punch mimosas! (Let's just say, I am excited to write this review, but I am very sleepy. There's nothing like being in a food coma.) My best friend and I enjoyed every morsel of the food, and will be returning to indulge in more! This restaurant has live entertainment, especially on the weekends. We have to go back to be apart of the action while eating jerk chicken and beef patties, of course. My best friend really enjoys this restaurant, and she traveled quite a distance to enjoy her Birthday cuisine. Now, she has me hooked. But it's worth it. Thank you, Good to Go, for helping to make my best friend's evening a special one!
Delicious flavorful foods, the jerk seasoning has just the right amount of heat. I always love fried plantains! The servers are quick and helpful! This place feels hip for late night drinks, though on a crowded night it is a bit loud. I would love to come back to try their brunch menu!
We went for happy hour and online they advertised jerk wing specials. However the only food specials were cheese nachos and fries. The jerk nachos only had jerk on the side and we got the chicken jerk pasta which didn't have jerk on it all, it unfortunately lacked flavor. The plus side was the drinks were very strong so I would recommend going for a drink. The drinks range $7-10 during happy hour.
Came as a walk in, the place was empty but we still had to wait a bit. This place is decorated VERY nicely, it's modern and stylish. Loved that. The waitress was very nice, they ran out of Mac and cheese or college greens when we went but it was okay, the other sides were still good. The portions were honestly a little small for the price, we later realized we were only given the luxe menu which is why it was so expensive. I would order from here again honestly but maybe not off the luxe menu. The lamb chops were good but again the price was lent worth 4 tiny chops. They have an area for a live band, I think this place would be better during later hours.
Food 5/5 Service 5/5 Food: A good Jamaican restaurant in Evanston?? YES! I was soooo surprised at how great this restaurant is. They have 2 vegetarian options that are vegan friendly. The vegetable (vegan) curry was on point!! The flavor was out of this world and the portion sizes are huge! I was beyond happy with my choice. Service: The server answered all of my questions and was very helpful in making sure my food was vegan. The place is adorable with good music and vibes!
My sister and I decided to take the hour drive to try out this Jamaican spot. It was quite a drive but worth it . We started off with the wings appetizers which can see from the photo we devoured . We were really hungry . For the entree I had the oxtail and my sister had the jerk bbq ribs . My sister and I agreed that my meal was better . For dessert my sister had the rum cake that was absolutely disgusting in her words "it tasted like rat poison". I also had one of their cocktails and I will say if I didn't cut myself off I wouldn't have been able to drive home as the drinks were really strong . As far the waitress she was ok kept forgetting to bring my sister water . As far as the ambiance we went on a Friday night and they had live music and they were quite good . Overall o would actually give it a 4.5 . Will definitely visit again

Came by for a sponsored event but I was early and enjoyed a drink at the bar. I ordered Vodka & Cranberry as it was discounted for Happy Hour. Bar area is bright. Service was quick. My bill included 18% gratuity. I really dislike when this is added automatically. I like to tip in cash. Anyhoo, place is lovely. Hope to come patronize this Black owned business for brunch. I noted they advertise a mimosa package and the owner stated they have oxtail omelet. read more
Had brunch with a friend and we had a great afternoon catching up on work and life news. Came for the shrimp grits, jerk wings and patties (sold out). 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. read more
Many years ago, I stopped by Good To Go when it was in its old location. The food was good. Being Jamaican, I tend to cook Jamaican dishes at home, so I hadn't been back. Fast forward to the present, the restaurant has a new location on the north side of the street. Very good food, large, and surprisingly empty. The beef patties scored big points. They're full of minced beef, proper spicy, and flaky like the beef patties I get whenever I go to Brooklyn. The brown stew chicken, steamed cabbage, and rice and beans also worked for me. I tip my hat to the bartender because the rum punch was lit. Where I back off on giving a 5-star rating is with the automatic 18% gratuity. I understand that restaurants bake in gratuity for large parties. I was solo. Service was outstanding, so my server deserved it. However, the automatic tip assumes service will be top every time. Perhaps there was mention on the menu. I missed it since the menu was accessible via barcode, and fine print may have not been presented immediately. Nevertheless, food and drink were outstanding. read more

SUPER AESTHETICALLY PLEASING RESTAURANT. Walked in, immediately treated with staff. PROGRESSIVE BLACK BUSINESS! Great energy, amazing customer service from the front door to my server. They treated me so well. EARLY 90s/2000s R&B/ Afrobeats music in the background. Even found a new tune for my own playlist. The food was impeccable. I'm going to be thinking about oxtail all week now. So soft, tender, the brown sauce is delightful. You will spend a pretty penny but it is worth the experience and food. Friday nights are hosted with live music. Recommend visiting that day to catch the full experience here. Their brunch is highly praised by staff and locals. DEFINITELY COMING BACK on a Friday or for Brunch! Hope you do too read more

This was my first time having Good to Go! The ambiance was nice but the food wasn't my favorite. They had a nice Jamaican playlist and some cool art. The service is great and our waiter was attentive. Now the food. The rib tips my partner originally ordered were cold and tough. He asked them for the jerk wings instead and he really enjoyed them. The greens were very tasty! I enjoyed them! I got the oxtails.. they were okay. Just very fatty barely any meat. The max and cheese was bland and the cabbage wasn't anything to brag about. I will give it another try because I see the potential! Maybe it was just a bad day in the kitchen. read more

I'm impressed! The food was fresh & delicious. I was disappointed in the Rum punch, it was in a small glass and the mixture was off! I could taste the ginger beer(which was different) I love a good Rum Punch especially if made with Wray & Nephew I had Ackee & salt fish with fried dumplings & plantains. Very flavorful and good temperature. I was impressed with the clean presentation (I was curious about how it would be presented in a resturant style setting) so I was really impressed with how upscale the dish was presented. The atmosphere & ambiance was great! It was Chic & comfortable very different from other Jamaican restaurants I liked the flare. I would definitely go back & have something different or maybe the same dish (since it's my fav & they made it correctly). read more

The food is TRASH!!!! Was there for a birthday dinner and nobody at my table ate the food!!!! Food came out cold, ox tails were cold and nothing but bone and fat, Mac and cheese was from a got damn box, at least add some seasoning to make it your own and the pea and rice......TERRIBLE!!!! Peas dry and hard and rice not flavor at all!!!! I can say services and entertainment were good but who ever in the back warming up food need too do better!!!!! I would only recommend this place for the drinks and live band NOT FOR THIS NASTY ASS FOOD!!!! read more

Solid for the most part first time trekking to Evanston for food but the social media postings from this restaurant drew me in! Date night for my husband and I have become priority whenever we are both free we lead very demanding careers so as lovers of Jamaican cuisine and Rum punch we had to check it out. We looked over menus prior but when we sat down the waitstaff informed us about a 4 course dinner special but it included steak as main entree ,baby I didn't drive HR for steak she tried her hardest to sell the 4 course if I ask for suggestions please feel free but it was kinda annoying for her to keep giving her input . In a foodie I research I know what I want ! One think I didn't like was it was one only beef patty left for the night I ordered 2 though ,she bring the driest inedible hockey puck to the table Geez ,I asked nicely to have it disposed if and removed off the bill So hubby ordered the oxtails with cabbage and rice peas my order was bbq jerk chicken white meat with Mac and cheese yams and rice and peas and appetizer of wings since the patties were out. The oxtails 5 stars ,bbq chicken 4 stars yams 2 stars not good to my liking , Mac 3 stars , cabbage 5 stars a winner, peas and rice need some sauciness just bland. The entrees do come with 2 sides but very small portions and rice and peas are not standard they count as a side. So on Fridays is a live band I was so excited I emailed and DM for start time both times I was told 7pm wrong the band came on at about 815 There were too many people on stage during a whole lot of nothing. I made the assumption that it was reggae music but it was more like old '70s music not my speed so we left. The restaurant was getting busier and stopped sitting the patrons every other table and started squeezing people in 3 ft table space I felt uncomfortable with social distancing being ignored Advise to get there early read more

I celebrated my birthday with brunch at Good to go this past weekend, and they did not disappoint! I love the Rum Punch Mimosa so we ordered the tower and it was more than enough for everyone. I usually get the red snapper but this time I tried the ox tail omelette. It was pretty good. Most importantly, every time I come here the service is always so kind and it was even better for my birthday. it's safe to say this is one of my new favorite spots. Thank you to the management team because Caribbean restaurants don't have the best reputation for customer service but that is not the case here. I love it! Ps - the Bees on the rooftop love perfume, flowers and rum punch so be aware lbvs read more

Dog friendly and good service. Bbq jerk chicken dinner was good but not really full of the jerk flavor. The JERK CHICKEN SANDWICH was just sliced turkey and had no jerk flavor or sauce. Had American cheese and mayo on it (missing this on the menu) and had it taken off the bill as it was not as noted on menu. The goat curry was delicious and full of flavor; but the rice and beans was very dry. Happy hour margaritas @ $7 each was simply margarita mix on large ice cubes. Couldn't taste any liquor. Finally although great service, but one does not remove dishes from a table and pile them up on the table scraping each plate on to one on the table. Poor edict. Manager was there but never came out to advise on the problem. A fair rating well earned. Plus they add 20% gratuity to every bill. Diffidently not worth the $90 bill. read more

I was so excited to try this restaurant, I love Jamaican food especially jerk chicken. We sat down about 1:15pm. We had to be somewhere at 2:30. About 2pm we had to ask for our food to go and still wasn't ready. We paid about $75 and still tipped the waiter $25 . We finally get our food and leave. While in the car we decided to eat since we were starving. We noticed they gave us everything we DIDNT order. Instead of jerk chicken we got 2 small pieces of stewed chicken. We subbed the cabbage for Mac and cheese(didn't happen) and we asked for plantains . Again didn't happen. We basically threw away $100 on horrible horrible service . I would never come back again. Future Customers please be very weary of this place ! If I could rate them negative 5 I most definitely would read more
[Good To Go Jamaican] Jamaican cuisine restaurant hosting Jamaican and Caribbean inspired dishes. Local business, restaurant in the day and music venue at night I was gonna try their Jerk Rib Tips but they were out so I ended up getting the Curry chicken. Comes with 2 sides so I got the rice & beans and the candied yams. Hands down one of the best restaurants I've reviewed. The chicken was fall off the bone mixed with the rice and curry. The candied yams was the best I've ever had literally. 10/10 place. https://www.goodtogorestaurant.com 711 Howard St Evanston, IL 60202 read more
Been here many times for live music, food and ambiance. It's a classy but chilled out atmosphere. Indikka reggae band played for a few hours setting the vibe. Come as you are or dress up a bit. As far as food, everything was tasty. They were out of a few items (jerk wings, jerk ribs and beef patty) we wanted but ended up splitting coconut shrimp, oxtail rolls and jerk chicken dinner. Drinks good but a little pricey. Rooftop is fun but wasn't open this visit. 100% recommend reservations. read more
Really liking this place for the bright open space, good vibe and great food. The jerk chicken is fabulous! Had their new breakfast too and they have a lot of options. I had an iced espresso with my breakfast skillet, which I really enjoyed. They have happy hour drink specials, a patio in front, a small patio with a bar in back, a stage/area for a DJ, and two large bars as well as comfortable seating if you just want to come for a drink. A friend is thinking about hosting an event here, and if she doesn't, I might! read more

Extremely Pricey but the food was really good. I ordered a combo with jerk chicken and curry goat, along with a la carte pieces of fish which was sky high, but the pieces were HUUUUUGE. Eating Caribbean inside a really nice establishment may typically hit you harder in the pocket than your standard takeout joint. Will I return, likely. By the way, this was my 2nd trip. read more
