"This is an excellent restaurant with exceptional food. I ordered the Whiting dinner with a quarter pound of shrimp and had to try the fried green tomatoes. I also enjoyed the beignets, which were just as fresh as the fish. The seasoning was perfect. I regret not trying the greens; I saw another customer enjoying them so much that they made a purchase after sampling! I will definitely be back for those. The place is clean and welcoming—truly a gem. The staff there were incredibly nice and helpful, especially since I almost drove past the restaurant. If you're heading north, it’s on your right side; if you’re going south, it's on your left. After calling three times, I think the manager came out and waved me in. The family-friendly atmosphere made for a memorable experience—this is exactly how a business should be run. I highly recommend this place, and without a doubt, it will be my new go-to for fish. I can't wait to share it with others!"

Oh my God. What can I say? The fried lobster with garlic fries it's really good. The bread they give you with it is really fresh. If you haven't tried fried lobster from Surf's Up, you really need to get there.

Excellent food and outstanding customer service! I enjoyed the grilled shrimp and fried green tomatoes, and I also had the beignets, which were delightful. This is definitely a place you should visit when you're in the area!

I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant! The fried lobster was absolutely delicious. I ordered for pickup, and when I arrived, I was warmly welcomed. As I left, I felt truly appreciated. I will definitely be coming back! View menu

The food was delicious. Excellently cooked and spiced. They give ideal portions. The greens are tasty and the fried green tomatoes are some of the best I've had. I had the fried catfish combo. The lady who answered the phone was courteous and accommodating.

I was so disappointed in this place. All the meal here ranges from 22 to 28 dollars. The food is bland and the portion size is not worth it. Don't waste your time and money going to this place. I tried to support this place because it's black owned not a good idea.

We were playing pickleball in the park nearby and decided to stop by Surf's Up on a whim The service was amazing! Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. Definitely gave the place a homey feel to it. Food was good too, servings were big and fry on the fish was spot on. The fries were a little oily and soggy though but we didn't mind. It certainly hit the spot and made for an enjoyable experience View menu

Had a catered order for my daughters graduation party. We had chicken wings, catfish, corn and potatoes, greens, fried green tomatoes with house made Surfs Up sauce ? , fried biscuits. Everything tasted amazing and DeAngela provided excellent customer service! Guests really loved the potatoes and I should have gotten the large pan. ??‍ Highly recommended, can’t wait to try some of the othe menu items like the crab leg dinner and shrimp. Thank you Surfs Up. You understood the assignment!

"Tempesta is arguably one of the best sandwich shops in the city. They make a lot of their meats in house and use high quality ingredients so you know you’re getting the good stuff. Not only can you get a great sandwich, you can purchase most of their meats to go as well as other small artisanal grocery items. I have tried almost every sandwich they have on the menu but my top two choices would be the #1 The Dante and the #2 Yo! Vincenzo! The Dante is their version of a classic Italian sandwich but a bit on the spicier side. The Yo Vincenzo is a chicken parm and I personally think it’s the best chicken parm sandwich in the city. The chicken is perfectly crispy, and they use just the right amount of sauce where it doesn’t get soggy. Both of these sandwiches come on their fresh baguette which helps set them apart from other sandwich spots in Chicago just because of how good it is. The B Franklin is also a great option, and if you’re starving get the Wagyu Pastrami but be warned it is a very heavy sandwich because of that Wagyu. The last pro tip I’ll add in here is order your sandwich ahead of time if you’re doing takeout. This is a very popular spot and is always busy during the lunch rush so if you wait to order until you arrive you may need to wait for 10-15 minutes. That should speak to how good this place is because it’s in such high demand, so if you’re in Chicago make sure you stop in!"
