Now this place has some delicious down home Soul Food. I came here with a friend of mine and this was the highlight of the night. I highly recommend this location in Orland Park. It surely didn't disappointed our taste buds. The nice lady behind the counter gave us some recommendation on the food. The prices are decent for the amount of food that you get. I won't even complain when it comes down to some good food. I ordered the Pot Roast Dinner which came with 2 sides. I got the yams, rice and Texas Toast. The only thing that could of been better was the rice. The ambience is chill and relaxing. Super friendly and welcoming staff. I will certainly come back to this location. read more

Hubby and I decided to have take-out dinner from here. The parking is small and upon entering, music is playing in the background. I think for a small establishment, the music might be a bit too loud because it can be difficult to hear each other talk, but I appreciate the high-energy vibe it brings. We stood in line behind a couple that dined in, so my guess is if you want to dine in, before grabbing a table, you stand in line and inform the cashier/host. They will follow you to the table and bring you the menu. Hubby ordered the rib tip dinner with mashed potatoes and candied yams. I ordered the fried catfish dinner with mac-n-cheese and corn. Both dinners come with garlic bread. Portions are huge. Hubby thought the ribs were okay but loved their BBQ sauce because it has a slight kick to it. I love the catfish! It is seasoned well and fried perfectly. We both ordered the Lemon Italian cream cake and took a small bite of it so I could post my review, and it is just as delicious! If you are in the neighborhood and want a bite to eat, give this place a try. They also serve drinks and I think the Daiquiris are the only ones that they offer as carry-out. We will be back to try other menu items. read more

If you're in Chicago and looking for amazing food, S2 Grills Chicago is definitely a spot you need to check out. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by extremely friendly staff who made us feel welcome right away. The service started off great and stayed that way the entire time. We were seated very quickly and didn't have to wait long at all. The food came out fresh and hot, and no joke; everything we tried was extremely delicious. We decided to try a little bit of everything so we could really experience the menu. We ordered the oxtails, Alfredo pasta, lamb chops, fried catfish, rib tips, baked mac & cheese, and candied yams, and every single dish was on point. The flavors were incredible and everything was cooked perfectly. Another thing that really stood out was how clean the restaurant was. Even the bathrooms were spotless, which always says a lot about a place. Great food, great service, and a clean environment; you can't ask for much more than that. Hands down a 10/10 experience. Highly recommend S2 Grills Chicago if you're in the area. read more

You can get this free by going to your local park and grabbing a handful of wood chips and drenching them in gravy. The only thing edible was the macaroni. The greens were spicy if I wanted jerk greens I would've went to a Caribbean restaurant 0/10 for $40.00 read more

Love the food here but I was thoroughly disappointed to analyze the menu today and for various reasons, decided to order the $17.99 catfish dinner but then the cashier rang up $22.99 catfish dinner. I get that prices are going up but put the condones on notice when the prices have changed. Especially such a vast difference. read more

Everything could be improved the billing system, the services the food . The atmosphere is okay. The manager is lacking knowledge of their product and why they bill a large % with no explanation behind it. read more

Don't waste your time. I went here twice. Once last year, and had a bad experience with an unprofessional manager with a lack of knowledge. Decided, well a year has passed so I'll try again. I ordered the buy one get one free on Uber eats and they only sent one. The rude cashier who obviously has no business savvy goes "well it may say it on your receipt but didn't come through to us." The manager won't be here until tomorrow, the chef will say the same thing. Nothing we can do. *Indeed, the chef said the same thing. Shameful that she was so busy saying why she COULDN'T that she never even TRIED to help. People don't have enough common sense to know how to run business. You lose a customer who tells another customer who tells another all over $19 plus dollars. So you lose return customers and waaaay more money over $19 dollars..... THINK people. Further, how do you KNOW you have buy one get one free but sometimes the app doesn't translate it and you won't honor it? What's the difference whether it translates or not when you know your promos? That isn't my issue. Just sad. When you treat me like I need you when my money contributes to your business existence, that shows a lack of regard for my money and my time and I can just go elsewhere and take my recommendations with me. Again, DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY people. Go where you are served and appreciated. read more

Welcoming atmosphere.....until I was slapped with a mandatory 18% service fee. Then an addt'l credit card usage fee,....WHY because they don't accept ca$h. Great food. Well seasoned, well cooked & good portions. Presentation and delivery (hot, no delay) were good also. read more

I was super excited to try this place - I come to Tinley Park/Orland Park for concerts and other random things and it's nice to become familiar with some new restaurants. Came for a lovely weekday lunch and ENJOYED the foooddd immensely. Was were greeted kindly by the cashier who was very helpful in assisting us in our meal choice. I opted to try the grilled chicken plate, which came with 2 sides (chose rice + black beans) and garlic bread and I added a side of some pineapple/coconut cake. Lots of seating, good air conditioning, and everything looked updated. Food came was ready within 10 min of ordering and it was LOVELY. The grilled chicken plate is honestly what I have been looking for and one of my favorite meals I've had in recent months - sometimes, I want a good, simple plate and this WAS IT. The grilled chicken was tender but flavorful, the rice was fluffy and the black beans were not too salty (and the nice thing about this is you can add salt if you want more). And the best part of topping off the meal was CAKE!!! We went with pineapple/coconut - it was decent, possibly a little dry but I also don't eat pineapple/coconut cake often so this might be the way this particular cake comes. They have sooo many other dessert offerings, that I'll try another flavor next time. Also to mention - they randomly have a full bar/wine/beer. I didn't get drinks at this visit but possibly in the future. All in all, such a wonderful gem in Tinley Park and will be back when we are on that side of town! read more

I saw a friend post about S2 Express Grill and when I looked it up, I was glad to see a location within 15 minutes of my house. I went on a Sunday morning and although the hours indicated that it opened at 10am, the worker was running a few minutes late, so the restaurant wasn't actually open. I appreciated that she was super apologetic and moved really quickly. She was also very kind and even brought our food to the table we were seated at vs. calling us back to the counter. I ordered French toast, eggs scrambled with onions and cheese and bacon. The food was ready pretty quickly and it tasted great. Prices are reasonable and the available seating was nice and clean. My only recommendation is that if they know you are eating there, to have plastic disposable plates. All the food is prepared as if it's to go, so you're sitting at the table eating out of styrofoam/plastic containers and aluminum foil, which is a bit odd. Aside from that, it was a good experience and I'd definitely return. read more

Had a catering service from the Orland Park location for Thanksgiving dinner. The food was absolutely wonderful. There was an issue with their delivery service provided through Ezcater, where the order was canceled, sending me into a panic. However, Danyiel worked with Ezcater to ensure my event was only delayed, not canceled. read more

I ordered a catfish dinner. The catfish fillet was smaller than usual, but tasty. The two sides were macaroni and cheese and greens. The greens were extremely salty. The macaroni and cheese was overcooked so the pasta was soft, but it was also salty. The garlic toast was hard and cold. I also ordered the banana pudding which cost $6.50. It tasted alright but you get a small amount with four vanilla wafers. It is absolutely not worth the price. read more

Darci.... You were AMAZING ! Thank you for ALWAYS showing love whenever my family and I come at this location. Food and service ??? 10/10 ! i HIGHLY recommend. read more

I was expecting more from the reviews. The food here is just ok. The catfish is cool. I was pretty underwhelmed by everything else. The chicken is below average for a soul food establishment. The fries are not good. The yams are edible . The Mac n cheese is ok. Seasoned well, but the cheese batter was over cooked. The broccoli and corn just taste like canned/steamed vegetables. Nothing special. Overall, not really worthy of the calories. read more

Steaks, mash potatoes and green beans were all too salty. They would have been good but I couldn't get past the saltiness. This is not good for diabetics etc.... I couldn't eat my steak dinner due to the salt and I am a salt eater, Delivery was timely. read more

The food here is GREAT, like capital G great! Their catfish, candied yams, and mac and cheese are just like grandma's house. Their cocktails? Boozy, and I'm not mad about it. Here's a tip: order to-go because the portions are bigger. We ordered in, changed our minds, and when we got our food ($90) we were shocked at the portion sizes (example: we ordered a side of asparagus and received 6 tiny asparagus wrapped in foil for $7!!!). We asked about it and the lady at the register explained that we ended up with smaller portions since they go by plate size for dine-in. Our food was made to order and since we changed our mind, they don't remake the food. It was disappointing to hear, especially compared to the cost - and only after pushing back and expressing our disappointment was she willing to "at least" refund the dine-in service fee from our order. If it weren't for the customer service, I'd give more stars. I was advised by another customer to try a different location next time. OR we will just stick to takeout to make sure we get more food for our buck LOL. read more

Great food! I enjoyed the Salmon Alfredo! My new go to spot! Many tasty menu selections to choose from!

10/10 everything fire , no cap. i tried new things i never had before and nothing disappoints here !!

I'm not gonna hold you - S2 Express Grill is actually really good !!! Everything is cooked and seasoned just right with a variety of choices and sides you actually won't. More importantly they give you 5 lamb chops instead of 3 - that in itself is worth every penny lbs read more

After a long day of work, long week and intense workout, I didn't feel like cooking so I've stopped at S2 for dinner at the Orland location. I've been here a couple of times including 103rd and got my favorite the Ultra Wings grilled. Ms. Violet and TJ were very nice and friendly. The place was clean. Of course, I enjoyed the food as always. I've never had a complaint everytime I support the establishment. Food is hot and fresh. Thank you S2. read more

S2 Express Grill - Salmon Dinner - Seafood Near Me - Orland Park, Illinois

Okay so here is the real, real. . My wife spent $65 for jerk chicken egg rolls, chicken wings n waffle( 3 piece with 2 xtra wings), Lamb Chops with asparagus and a loaded mash potatoe..... Facts: MY wife said, she enjoyed the lamb chops and sides. I took a bite and the chops were good and well seasoned ( didn't taste gamey). As far as the wings etc. Very disappointing. I mean you can't convert a previous wing spot ( shatks) and sell subpar wings!... THE BEST THING I ENJOYED was the jerk egg rolls, but even those were processed-pre-made ( frozen) then dropped into the hot oil.. If you want to truly seperate yourself from your competitors,Minimize you menu ( cuz you suck at certain things) focus on food Quality- fresh food( not processed or frozen)- made to order by hand... Tip: If the bone is dark, it typically signals , frozen wings, Quick dropped into hot oil ( not thawed and marinated). Don't know about you but I like my wings fresh.. ' IF THE BONE AINT WHITE, IT AINT RIGHT!"... Overall she gives the food a 4 and I rate it a 1.. that's gives a true 2.5 stars out of 5... You money, Your risk but the price point vs overall quality, clearly says , the owner is more concerned about short term profit margins than Long term volume repeat customers... The fries tasted pre- cooked then refried..soggy and bland NOT OFFICIAL! read more

Overall comment as a first time customer: the items chosen tonight were tasty! Food presentation rating: great! It was 10:10 PM when we got there and there were four people ahead of us. Two people came in for a pick up order. Even with that, service was excellent! The cashier girl was very patient and was as thorough as she could be (she was in training, yet pretty independent). She even kindly mentioned that the order already came with a bread when one of my family members chose bread as his side option; having two pieces of bread would have been surprised and unwanted (Thank you for your great customer service ). The night manager was also attentive ^_^ she gave me and one of my company both sauce options. She also checked in again at the end to make sure we did not need additional boxes to go. I chose the four chicken tenders with fries. The menu said it comes with bread, which was forgotten, but I am very okay with because I was full after eating all the fries and only two tenders. My other three family members that came with me choose the dinner option with comes with two sides of your choice and bread. Pictured: lamb chop dinner with the sides of black beans and mac and cheese; fried cat fish dinner (can also be baked if you prefer) with the sides of candied yams and a side salad; and the smoked turkey leg with the sides of corn and a side salad. All the meats were perfectly tender!! The lamb chop and turkey leg were juicy. Only suggestion to change mentioned by my company who isn't adverse to salt in his cooking, is to decrease the salt on the corn. We all agreed that we would go back again. read more

My husband and I decided to have date night here. We try to patronize black owned restaurants as much as possible. We used the order kiosk for our food. The cashier brought our food to the table and announce they didn't have any cake or cheesecake as we ordered. All they had was chocolate mousse. We asked for a refund on our desserts, but she claimed she didn't know how to complete a refund on the kiosk. How is that possible? If you can take my credit card, why can't you issue a refund back to the card? Anyway, my husband got the rib tip dinner with Mac and cheese and fries. The Mac and cheese was ok but needed salt. The rib tips were tender and the sauce was good. The fries were good. I ordered the chicken and shrimp pasta with extra jerk and Cajun seasoning. As I love spicy food, this was great. The shrimp were plump and tender. I would get both entrees again, but with different sides. The restaurant was very clean. When a patron left, the cashier cleaned to table and chairs. read more

So I ordered a fried catfish fries and jerk catfish with mac & cheese and broccoli and a side of dirty rice. It was my first experience going to this restaurant at this location. You were not greeted nicely by the woman at the counter I asked for my order she asked for verification. I thought it was kind of rude the way she asked I came home to eat this try this food out. People are raving about this food so legit, the catfish, the jerk catfish it's smothered with just a sauce of Jerk I thought it was gonna be like a nice sauce, marinated catfish fried catfish was bland. The only thing that had anything for itself was the mac & cheese and the garlic bread. The broccoli on the photo shows that it has cheese on it. There was no cheese on mine so needless to say I wouldn't go back it's OK, Grandma can make a better fried catfish no doubt read more

Food is always good and friendly employees. Ribeye and lamb chops are what we normally order. Love the candy yams.

The food was amazingly delicious. Darcy was kind and attentive. If you pass by, stop by. You won't be sorry.

Decided to stop here and pick up some lunch on my way home from getting my car serviced. I am extermely disappointed to have spent $38 on food that was completely trash. I ordered 1 ulta rolls that were too salty, over fried, dry and the cashier told me they were prerolled. I ordered one dirty rice that was just horrible and 1 baked mac and cheese that tasted ok. I left a tip because as a african american female restaurant business owner myself I like to support my own kind. But S2 Express Grill needs to do better this was the worst experience ever I will never come back or recommend. Also please narrow down the menu there is to many opitions on the menu which is probably why you guys can't perfect one. read more
