    Mac and Cheese with Cabbage
    Fred H.

    Wife heard about this place from a friend and wanted to stop in, so we did. Located in Oak Park, in a stip mall on two main street, North and Harlem. You have to enter the strip mall lot off North bound Harlem or Easbound North. Trying to enter the lot any other way is going to more than a chore with the traffic in this area. We stopped shortly after opening, so eveything was freshly made and hot. Service was friendly and inviting. We were treated like long-time customers, although this was out first time. When ordering, we noticed how tight the space was. There were two seat to wait but there wasn't much more room. We ordered and waited in the car. I'm also thinking you could phone in your order as well. The set-up was buffet style with fried foods prepared to order. One protein comes with 2 sides. They offered a wide variety of sides. My two sides were cabbage and mac and cheese. Other sides offered: dressing, garlic mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, green beens, rice and gravy, collard greens, red beans and rice. My protein was beef short ribs, all of which had just been freshly made and was kept warm. My wife opted for cabbage and sweet potatoes with the catfish. The order took about 20 minutes to prepare. Since it was our first time, we were offered to taste any side. This was a nice gesture and we appreciated the customer service. The taste: The beef ribs were tender and seasoned. The mac and cheese was excellent, not too cheese, with the perfect cheese crust on the top. The cabbage was also good but I would prefer it to be cooked longer. The portion size was perfect. I think the plate was well balanced. Just enough food. My wife let me taste her fish and it was perfectly crispy. Not fired hard......Crispy not crunchy. Overall, a good plate and a welcome alternative to fast food options in an area with a diverse amount to choices.

Despite a…read moregraduation party in a private room and a crowded house, we were greeted and seated right away. The staff was warm and attentive throughout--especially Maurice (I believe the manager), who took care of us from start to finish. The food hit the spot: chicken, fish, and pot roast, all with generous sides and dessert. Great value for the price. Between the solid comfort food and exemplary service from Maurice, I'd gladly make the hour-long drive to come back again. Highly recommend.

The food was good, but a little bit on the expensive side. We ordered three one entree plates. They came with two sides and a muffin. My wife and son both ordered their fried chicken entree with Mac & cheese and yams, and I ordered their smothered pork chops with yams and collard greens. The fried chicken was good, Mac and cheese was ok, collard greens weren't the greatest. The yams were delicious and the smothered pork chops definitely hit the spot. The food overall was seasoned well, not under seasoned and most importantly not over seasoned. The gravy was really good and the pork chops were cooked perfectly. We also ordered their banana pudding. This one was just ok. Not sure if I'd order it again. We wanted peach cobbler but they were out. Next time we'll order that if it's available. My entire family enjoyed their meal and we will definitely be returning.

But it's another when you see the potential which is why I slight don't want to do it for the Yelp Came in @ 5:15pm expecting to dine in only to be told you can't eat in...why all the tables? Ordered 4 meals at 5:30pm .... 7:00 pm I finally walked out with my food. (Total of 4 other customers during my time there. 1 was already there when I got there and two seemed to have placed their order on the phone as they barely waited and 1 was a grub hub pickup* (* Grub hub pickup person was super piss pacing back and forth in front of the restaurant. Time = money) Presentation! Things I don't want to see when I come to a restaurant. A can of HOT SHOOT in the "non-dinning" room area, Your hair in a Bonnet like you just got out of bed, Food items on the floor (in this case vanilla wafers and onions and a few other items), items thrown on the tables (for the "non-dinning" room area) I had a $25 restaurant.com certificate. (Which is a story in itself) I sometimes I hate using them cause I always get that feeling most of the restaurants don't want to honor it. (why the heck do you sign up for it?) After giving Tiyana the code and ringing up the food it took an additional 6-8 min before actually processing the card. Not sure if it was because she didn't believe the price after or needed a confirmation about the actual certificate . it was never explained just long silent waiting.... *cricket* I added my food up through the groupon app before even ordering and according to that price I was charged about 30 cent more. I wasn't going to argue over that and left it alone. FRIED CHICKEN DARK - 8.99 - It was good. SMOTHERED CHICKEN DARK - 10.99 tasted like a different batch of chicken from the fried chicken as it tasted more burnt/dried out it was slightly cold (only took about 15min to get home + the 10 before actually getting my food at the end ) JERK CHICKEN - $16 for 4 wings??? I get that it's a "dinner" as you can order 10 wings for the exact same $16. but basic math your charge $6 for two small sides So the other $10 is for 4 WINGS! Another odd comparison is that regular four wing dinner cost $12. Jerk seasoning cost $4? Flavor was excellent and seasoned well. Expected large Jerk Wings for the price, something similar to Montego Bay in Bellwood. SMOTHERED PORK CHOPS - $10 thin cut, but for the price I guess I expected that ) the meet was a little dry and overdone but again I take it due to the thin cut of meat as you don't have a lot of room for error and need to make sure the meat is done. SIDES Jerk Mac Cheese - Fire! The only unique thing you'll get hear in regards to not being on a nearby restaurant menu. It's a handful of items with Jerk in it. Jerk Pizza Puff, Tacos, Nachos, Burritos, Jerk Chicken omelette Sweet potatoes. - probably the closet to my moms recipe that I have ever tried. (Diabetics be warned!) Greens - the only thing I didn't personally try myself, but was told after throwing some vinegar and hot sauce on them, they thought they were good. Regular Mac and cheese. - it's alright compared to the jerk version. Dressing - literally don't even remember. I ate it but flavor wise I've had better. Tiyana was nice and I notice more smiles at the end . I know black folks get that "mean" typecast do to RBF (Resting itch Face) as I was questioning it myself. However at the end I know she'a putting the food out in hopes you really like it and would come back. She also gave me a coupon book for the restaurant. (Some of it is to be questioned. Such as refer 20 people and get 7 free meals.) and two key chains which got destroyed as the heat from the bag made the paper material in between the key chain wet. It's like I see the effort and hard work and not trying to knock what Tiyana is doing Notice the one year anniversary menu (All you can eat buy one for $18.99 and get 2nd meal for $0.01) I like everything is cooked from scratch. I understand the whole "call your order in advance" reply I'll probably get, but I waited 90 min! The place wasn't dirty but too cluttered with items on the table etc. Not sure if going through remolding, but the photos I seen on Maywood Village Press showing the dinning room area is nothing like what I seen when I got there. I felt Tiyana attire was more like see your sister on thanksgiving morning putting the turkey in the oven before everyone gets up and not I'm the business owner/chef. This is one of those reviews where despite the low rating I hope people give it a chance and able to see visible improvements. As a person that almost never order delivery. This is the one time I'll say grub hub and door dash would be in your best interest.

Surf's Up serves a Good2Go product on their menu being the Shock N' Shrimp. When I discovered that, I just had to visit because since Vegandale I have been on the lookout for Shock N' Shrimp throughout Chicago. As a vegetarian, I am always on the hunt for plant-based foods. So, I chose and made my way to Surf's UP which sits within a short distance of the hospital I work at in Maywood. I ended up ordering their 8 Pieces Shock N' Shrimp which came with Fries, figuring that it would fill me up rather than the 3 Pieces Shock N' Shrimp. I always love ordering online via yelp because it is convenient! Most of the time my orders are completed upon my arrival or near complete. I encountered the issue of my order not going through via Grubhub, resulting in me having to call Grubhub to cancel. All went well with that process, and I was refunded in a timely manner by Grubhub. And at the time, the employee was patient, even when receiving the call from Grubhub. Since I was already onsite, I resumed the ordering process after the employee got off of the phone with Grubhub because I just had to have the Shock N' Shrimp. And no more than 10 minutes from the time I placed my order with the employee, he completed it, and I was well on my way. As for my food, the Shock N' Shrimp tasted wonderful! To complement the taste, I was given barbecue dipping sauce with them which I absolutely loved. And I just cannot go without mentioning the Fries which were not too overly seasoned. I enjoyed the Fries equally as I did the Shock N' Shrimp. With there being other items on the menu that I would love to try, I am very well open to visiting and ordering from Surf's UP - Maywood, or any other Surf's UP location again. And with that being said, I share my endorsement of Surf's UP with you all. Ambiance: 3 1/2 | Service: 4 | Food: 4 Recommendations: Vegan Chunky Chili, Lar-Bear's Beyond Meat Bowl, Vegetarian Bowl, Anthony's Beyond Meat Burger with Fries, Vegan Shock N' Shrimp, Shock 'N Shrimp Tacos, Cheese Garlic Corn Bread Muffin, Fried Biscuits, or any of the Sides. ~ Oh darling, let's be adventurers ~ Thomas G

I am not sure why they serve the sauce (rhetorically speaking) because my shrimp were cooked to perfection and the wings were like being at a family member's house. M The owner was on his way in with supplies, and greeted me as he was completing his task. The team member has always been pleasant, she is a staple there whenever i visit.

At the time, the restaurant was listed high as I searched for southern food nearest to me. Also, its 4.3 star rating out of 7000+ was the assurance I needed that I would receive quality food. Looking through the menu, the pescatarian in me was drawn to mario's catfish sandwich which comes as either southern fried or grilled farm raised, with the option of either fries or potato salad. I ended up ordering the sandwich in the form of southern fried, with potato salad as my side order. It took twenty-five minutes from the time my order was acknowledged by Uber Eats to the arrival of it at the hospital I work out of. Much praise to the Uber Eats delivery driver, Walter for making that happen at that reasonable time, as well as meeting me at the main entrance of our hospital where I waved confirming that I saw him. And Walter confirmed that it was me grabbing the order, which I cannot thank him so much for. I loved the potato salad! Seeing it seasoned made me curious of its taste which ended up being far from a disappointment; It was by far the best potato salad I have ever had, and that is not exaggeration. Now what I found interesting about mario's catfish sandwich was that it was placed on a hamburger bun rather than a sub-style bun. Even with it on a hamburger bun it was nicely presented inside of a styrofoam container. It was lightly seasoned, topped with lettuce, onion, and tomato! I further added tartar sauce to give it the taste that I love. I really enjoyed mario's catfish sandwich and would consider ordering it again. Being that I had a good ordering experience, I would surely order from Chicago's Home of Chicken & Waffles again whether it be Uber Eats delivery or takeout.
