Way too expensive!! Customer service was phenomenal. Food was absolutely delicious. Really enjoyed the food way too expensive. Had to say it one more time but the food is definitely good read more

Placed an order on Uber Eats and boy do I regret it. I've eaten from the Harvey location a couple times and had the quesadillas which they have a bogo deal for on uber. I ordered that same thing a this location plus wings and a side of Mac and cheese for my friend. The quesadillas had almost no filling inside and the fries were not completely cooked I had to put them in the air fryer to finish. They put the smallest scoop of insanely overcooked Mac and cheese in the container and charged us $8 absolute robbery and it did not taste good. The wings just ok and needed seasoning. I truly do wonder how restaurants like this stay open. I would not waste another dime here. read more

Hello, I was passing by this location fresh off the plane, subpar food. The noodles kind of gummy, the shrimp was seasoned well, the garlic toast was microwaved. These are only my taste buds. read more

This was my first time here and I must say, that the food was absolutely amazing! The grilled salmon with the lemon butter sauce, chefs kiss. Atmosphere very inviting and the service was amazing as well. I love great service and S2 Express Grill exceeded my expectations. Thank you and supporting again. read more

How can you sell lobster/steak, but then feel comfortable selling me chicken that looks like this. Also was asked to give 5 stars for a free soda before I left, It's just the normal ghetto restaurant/hood read more

I ordered a couple of things to try. First, the lemon pepper catfish and fries were so good. Loved the mild sauce too. Fries were like those at Checkers, for those familiar with them. Plenty of food, even for a big back like me. The loaded baked potato was EVERYTHING. No skimping on the toppings and the potato itself was delicious. It comes with big pieces of broccoli that were steamed, and/or blanched, in the tears of angels. I'll be thinking of this potato as I drift off to sleep tonight. read more

No cash isn't fair for the community. Auto tip without warning from the waitress is not genuine. The cheap warehouse omviance is insulting on top of the cheap plastic cups. So far, before the meal, this place feels like a cheapnonwy hungry bar. Well the food was good bar food and we were able to leave when we were done so paying first feels wrong but it worked. The service was efficient but no cash is not fair for those whare are unbanked and those who don't care are selfish in their lack of consideration of those who can't. So IMO, it's a cheap bar with bad policies and good food. I hope it gets better and am glad something's there. You've Been Advised... read more

The catfish was good. The pieces were meaty and filling. The broccoli and loaded mash potatoes were also good, however, I don't like that type of cheese on my broccoli. Cheddar would have been better for me. Oh, and the Buffalo chicken soul rolls were tasty as well. Update! The short ribs were really good, tender and meaty. read more

Sooooooo out in the area late night and they were still open! Great bookmarked, so let's try. Plus I've seen it promoted on IG. So we walk in grab a menu and review the menu board, and the prices are different *SIDE EYE* We ordered Philly cheese steak egg rolls, beef short ribs, grilled chicken, plus sides, but unfortunately, they were out of yams. The food was freshly prepared so it took about 20mins. Food was received fresh & hot. Short ribs were delicious, didn't taste the grilled chicken, but the way my husband left the bones it must've been delicious LMAO. My Philly egg rolls didn't have veggies in them! No green peppers or onions, that ain't no Philly steak steak. Lbvs I'd go back and try the seafood, but only if I'm in the area. I wouldn't go out my way at all!!!! Oh, & the Sides were weak too! read more

On my quest to find something for lunch I came across S2 Express Grill on Uber Eats and everything looked good. I Ordered the Alfredo with Shrimp + S2 Ultra Rolls were Philly Steak. The Shrimp Alfredo was very good it was seasoned very well. I just wish the shrimp tails were not on the shrimp but still good none the less. The Philly Steak Roll were okay weren't anything to write home about. The Food arrived hot and fresh. The price range is average and the money. I will definitely be ordering again read more

Only think this is the best as two I've had fresh mac & cheese, so rich and creamy jerk. Chicken pasta is so good and spicy i would have taken a picture but food was soo good i finished read more

I tasted the Lamb chops dinner, and they were tender and well seasoned. Best lunch at work I had for a while! Would order again with Asparagus and Texas toast. The catfish was very fresh, hot and crispy. Kudos to the chef! read more

This is A Great spot. The bad reviews are from people who don't understand that the area it is around mainly is low income so the fact they offer food cheap. Tastes good. Provides the necessary nutritions for the body to keep evolving or just enough for your body to keep you moving. Or From someone who has a high ego and believes everything must be set up perfectly for them. Amazing service with respect. They are clean and very organized while providing a view from a far that stands out. What more can you ask for from the south side of chicago. And the area it is in although bad from certain people. MOSTLY everyone around this area actually cares though. read more

Trash. They need to stop making burgers they gave me a stale bun and the fries taste like they 3 days old stop making yall food look flashy if it's not good read more

Never disappoint always fresh I'm glad I live close this is my third time ordering through uber eats it was great

Visited Harvey location, ordered beef short ribs, macaroni and cheese, sweet potatoes and pinto beans. Everything was delicious! Had enough to last me 3 days. Will return! read more

I have eaten food from all of their locations and am universally satisfied. All of the food is exceptional, but there are a few things that really stand out. 1) Lamb chops!!!!! The absolute BEST you will eat anywhere! Yes that's high praise. All of the side dishes are very well prepared, but I'd highly recommend the grilled asparagus, candied yams, and dirty rice. 2) Ribeye--whether you surf & turf it with king crab or a lobster tail as I do, or just have the steak, this is a truly delectable meal. 3) The breakfast is now a Sunday regular in my household. I strongly suggest the big breakfast options--include the pancakes and grits. 4) Speaking of grits, the Shrimp & Grits is an outstanding dish for breakfast, lunch, brunch or dinner! Thank you for bringing such high-quality food not only to Orland which has so many pedestrian restaurants--S2 is a welcomed upgrade--but to the Southlands in Harvey, and the South Side of Chicago which has such a dearth of good dining options once you leave Hyde Park. The owners are scheduled to open S2 City Grill & Daiquiri Bar on 87th & Stony Island in Chicago--I can't wait! read more

S2 (both locations) have some of the best food in the city. Lamb chops to lobster tail, asparagus to Mac and cheese. My kids love the loaded fries and I love the surf and turf. Almost like fine dining in a fast food setting. Their operations hours are up and down and seem inconsistent at times when ordering late. But it's worth the hassle. I personally recommend the salmon with asparagus and loaded mash. read more

Daiquiri was tasty! I also ordered a salad, which came out to be a huge, delicious Chef's salad! It was amazing! Fresh avocados and all!

This was my first time visiting S2 Grill. We had Starr as our waitress. She was so accomodating and made great suggestions. She communicated effectively and exhibited a friendly and professional demeanor even though my group were tough cookies. She was absolutely wonderful! The food was delicious, and nothing short of fantastic. OMG, the mac and cheese melted in my mouth and it was to die for! My rib tips were flavorful and tender. Everyone at my table talked about how great the food was. As far as the restaurant's environment, presentation it was very inviting and the decor was eye catching. I felt like the establishment cares about the presentation of their business. The bathrooms were clean and cared for. They even added an extra touch in cleanliness. I was very impressed! I will definitely be back! Everyone should visit S2, it's definitely a gem on the southside. It brought back fond memories of me growing up in my old neighorhood. Keep representing and holding it down S2 and Starr! read more

It was very nice. Food and drinks were good Great customer service. The place was very clean and organized. It was my first time and I will be visiting again. read more

I am giving S2 Express Grill (8734 S Stony Island) one star because you can't give a 0 star. My family decided to try neighborhood restaurant since we had to go to work the next day. The waitress seated us and took drink orders, we asked for a kiddie cocktail for my grandson she advised we couldn't get that (7-Up & Grenedine with fruit). She asked if she could check out another couple and come back, we told her yes however she NEVER came back. Finally another waitress came and took our order and my grandson ordered pizza. After waiting over 30 minutes our food was brought by the bus boy and we were told that the pizza was coming soon. The waitress came back a few minutes later and said they didn't have any pizza. By the way, my daughter went to the bar to get the drinks. I asked for the manager and it was the original waitress that NEVER came back. We explained the level of service we received thus far starting with her and she stood there with a smile. This girl had no remorse. All she could say was "the kitchen was struggling". She acted as if all was okay. DO NOT EAT AT S2 EXPRESS GRILL ON 87TH AND STONY ISLAND. SERVICE IS HORRIBLE!!! read more

Maybe my expectations were set too high prior to coming here but I didn't enjoy the food here. The lobster tail was tasteless although I ordered it jerked. In addition to no flavor I felt like the lobster tails should've been cheaper because it was extremely small. The shrimp & grits had some huge shrimp in them however the grits had a soup like consistency & this too was virtually tasteless. The philly rolls weren't bad per se however they couldn't stand up to other cheesesteaks in the city. Twas served with ranch also but it didn't make them anymore enjoyable. I feel like they would improve with cheese whiz however I'm not sure howd that work being fried. The food is made to order & it came out in about 15 minutes. The menu is quite extensive & they even serve breakfast all day long. read more

Do you enjoy horrible customer service? Wasting your time for food that isn't coming? A no refund policy? Then S2 Express Grill on Halstead is the place for you! We ordered 3 things- a turkey burger, and two orders of chicken and shrimp alfredo. We wait 15 minutes...then 30 minutes...then 45 minutes. We start to notice the people that came in after us got their food before us. Then a lady who called her order in was visibly upset since she was waiting an hour for her food. She asks for a refund. The cashier said they can't give out refunds. They expected her to order something else, and spend all afternoon waiting around for it like an idiot. She was so frustrated, she just left! No food, no refund, no nothing. Fast forward one hour, an entire hour of waiting for one turkey burger, and two orders of chicken and shrimp alfredo. Are they de-plucking the chicken? Kneading the dough for bread? Making the noodles from scratch? No. They ran out of alfredo sauce. Over an hour ago. You can't make chicken and shrimp alfredo without alfredo sauce. Did anyone tell us? No. We found out when we asked on the status of our food. One. Hour. Later. The communication from the kitchen to the cashiers to the customers is non-existent. Do they offer to make it up to us? Do they offer to give us our money back at least? No. They say we can order something else without alfredo sauce in it and give us a cold turkey burger. They repeat their no refund policy. We weren't having it. We made them call their Supervisor to authorize a refund so that at least we were just hungry instead of hungry and livid. Never experienced anything like this, nor do I care to repeat the experience again. We will NEVER step foot inside this establishment ever again. DO. NOT. COME. HERE. EVER. read more

They don't ever disappoint me. From the jerk pasta which I give a 8/10 to the steak dinner which I give a 9.5/10 they don't ever let me down. The sides are always on point, the service is timely which is a plus and the setting is very nice and clean once you're inside. I would certainly recommend S2 for anybody. They have a wide range of food and it's definitely good. This location especially. read more

Ordered S2 for lunch. I've had the food from other locations and loved it every time. But, this location is absolutely terrible. I ordered the chicken Alfredo with jerk. And the Philly rolls. Let's start off with the Alfredo -I ordered as soon as they opened. Yet, the chicken in the Alfredo was so dry. Which is crazy because the pasta was literally swimming in sauce. I picked up the tray out of the bag and the sauce literally was pouring from it. It was all over the inside of the bag. I've never seen their Alfredo sauce so soupy. It was literally the consistency of soup with some noodles thrown in. I literally had to scoop out the noodles into another dish . They also put the bread on top so by the time I got home and opened the tray my bread was extremely soggy. There was no real flavor besides some sort of spice. Idk what it was but it was not jerk. - The Philly roll was also very disappointing. For it to be a Philly cheese steak roll there was NO CHEESE INSIDE THE ROLL. Just meat and a scarce amount of bell peppers. Then they sprinkled not even a pinch of Parmesan cheese on top. The roll wasn't crispy at all and it came with no type of sauce. The meat was also very dry. Definitely a sad excuse for a Philly roll. Overall my food was absolutely terrible. And it's unfortunate because I've been going to S2 for a while(just not this location). All and all I ended up tossing the entire meal. Such a waste of $25 I had high hopes but those hopes were gone as quickly as I opened the container. read more

I ordered 2 breakfast through uber but only got 1. When I called the restaurant I waz told I could come in or get a refund from uber. As I was talking to the girl she hung the phone up. Mind you I spoke to her respectfully and in a respectful tone even though I was frustrated because they have gotten my last 3 orders wrong. The food is decent but I paid Uber plus I had to use my has and time to get the other half of my order. Will not order from here again! Poor customer service. read more

The service was friendly. The bar tender Trina was really friendly. I was able to sample a daiquiri before ordering. I love supporting black businesses and look forward to returning. read more

So I've eaten here a few times and for the most part I'm happy with my food. I've had the loaded chicken fries and LOVED them! I've had the chicken wrap and that is also very tasty. Today I ordered breakfast food, French toast and grits. The breakfast items are A la Cart. I didn't like the grits.... at all. The flavor was there but they were under cooked and gritty. I love grits so I was very disappointed. The restaurant has in door seating but the area is small so I prefer to take my food to go. It's also located in a small strip mall but the parking lot gets packed fast. FYI- they do take call in and online orders but for some reason today they would only take my order if I came to the restaurant and placed the order. Not to big of a deal but even when calling in your order the wait can be pretty long so I prefer to give them a head start on my order before coming to the restaurant. Although some of the items aren't to good ( the grits, the chicken and waffles) for the most part I enjoy eating from this establishment. read more

I ordered the veggie pasta it was delicious..Tried calling multiple times and no one answered the phone. I get there and stand at the door and call again because there was a young lady sitting at the counter and she still didn't answer the phone. But I did order the pasta read more

I was really looking forward to trying this place out especially based on all the pictures I've seen on social media). I ordered the lamb chop dinner. Unfortunately, I was pretty disappointed with how dry my lamb was and the portion (talk about Mary having a little lamb ) I always order my lamb medium, and these poor little chops were well done... I had the asparagus and mashed potatoes as a side. I must say, all three of my asparagus were good and the potatoes were full of flavor. All in all, I will give this place another chance in a month or so. Maybe tonight was a bad night read more

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. I ordered the buffalo chicken and Philly cheese steak egg rolls WHICH TURNED OUT TO BE RAW IN THE INSIDE. ALL 6 were RAW I tasted the flour on one and when I opened it I realized what the hell they gave me. I'm so pissed off I waited an hour for this food read more
