food always a hit. service always decent. it's a lil hole in the wall so the ambiance gon be what…read moreit is. the ONLY beef I got w/ them is (why I didn't give 5 stars) they: close too early, always outta SOMETHING, and the yams be kinda weird. Other than that the food gon always bus' know dat!

I really wanted to enjoy my experience with Lickle Jamaica Restaurant. First, I want to say that…read morethe young lady who assisted me was very pleasant and provided great customer service, and I truly appreciated her attitude. Unfortunately, the food experience was completely different. In these days and times, when everything is so expensive and people are working hard for every dollar, it is extremely disappointing to spend your money treating yourself only to receive the wrong order. I ordered a half white chicken dinner, but when I got home, I discovered that I had been given wings instead. I understand that we should always check our orders before leaving, and I take responsibility for not doing that. However, customers should also be able to trust that the order they paid for is prepared correctly. To make matters worse, the food was so salty that I could barely enjoy it. It honestly tasted like someone dropped a whole bucket of salt into the meal. When money is tight and you decide to spend what you have on a special meal, getting the wrong food and then not being able to enjoy it is very disappointing. Again, the customer service from the young lady was wonderful, so this review is not directed toward her. I just hope management takes more care with checking orders and food preparation. Customers work hard for their money, and whether we spend $10 or $100, we deserve to receive what we ordered and food that we can actually enjoy.

I just had to visit Surf's UP - Maywood after discovering its collaboration with Good2Go Veggie…read morewhich I have tasted at Vegandale, a vegan food and drink festival. 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

While i don't get here as often as i like to, BUT WHEN I DO it doesn't disappoint. The meal was…read moreprepared and served with care. When I hear "your order will be ready in 15mins" I already know that it's being made to order..and guess what i like that! I dined in and grabbed a window seat for my lunch, the seating was decent, the music was soothing as I sat and destroyed my lunch! 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. Ok, my review is done, I've received my nourishment for the day and now back to serve the community. Enjoy, be safe and Make It happen D

UPDATE: I'm not totally sure what's going on there but 1) the portion sizes have nearly been cut in…read morehalf 2) the menu prices apparently aren't the prices any more and some things have at least gone up by 50% and others nearly doubled?! Chi chi, you aren't looking so super my friend. Cut it out or you're gonna lost some stars. Original review below. Duuuuuuude dude dude... ok, this is going to seem a touch racist here but I'm just going to be real for a second because normally this isn't a spot many of you reading this would run across simply because of the neighborhood it's in. I know that when you white people look at the location of this place you may write it off but as a certified white person I can tell all you Chips, Tiffanys and Skylers to relax, you'll be just fine. On to the food part. Bring cash, cash only. Save yourself the wait. Call ahead, order. If you are into super flavorful rich food that costs almost no money, then this is your place. The Jamaican/puerto rican/soul food inspired and sometimes mixed up dishes are ah-maze-balls. It's the kind of food that makes you over eat and still want to smash another 5 bites into your face. Get the large jerk chicken burrito dinner with extra jerk sauce and 2 side dishes and be in heaven. Greens, mac, dressing, beans, rice, shrimp, ox tail, Cuban sandwiches, the breakfast sandwiches... I swear I have never had a bad anything there, ever and I'm making myself hungry and upset that I cannot go there right now. This place seems like the PERFECT after bar food but alas they close BEFORE 10p or 9p depending on the day and are not open at all on Sunday and possibly Monday (I can't recall for sure on Monday). But this place is 100% worth the trip and working around their hours. Give it a whirl, you'll come back again and again. Ask questions, the family that runs it is pretty straight forward and helpful. If you're into sweet/spicy, smokey BBQ type flavors, rich Mexican type dishes, home cooking then this is for you.

Had a jerked turkey leg. It was awesome. I had it to take out but they do have sit down option. It…read moredidn't take forever for my order to come out and when it did, the entree was hot.
