It just makes paying way easy!

Old review: October 2022 I don't remember the true name of…read morethis establishment (it has since been rebought and rebranded by another NOLA inspired kitchen). But it was a music/ pool hall that served Louisiana inspired cuisine. My ex and I went here to give it a try as it was the only thing opened after 10:00 pm. Very chill ambient and atmosphere. Low population of people and the music was 90s and soul. Our server was a nice young white guy who knew the menu and had recs. We ordered the gumbo, jambalaya and shrimp and grits. We also ordered two drinks. The food was not horrific but definitely needed pointers and tips. The rice in the jambalaya was still slightly undercooked. The roux of the gumbo was off. Not burnt and not salty, but I could not put my finger on it. The grits were also undercooked but the shrimp were decent. I knew it would need some work but I also knew I would possibly return.

The bar tender was great, kind, and friendly. She was attentive and we actually had good convo. I ordered shrimp and grits, catfish, and chicken and waffles. The shrimp and grits were tasty. I would prefer thicker grit consistency. The roux was almost like an Alfredo sauce but still pretty decent (7/10). The catfish was crispy and cooked to perfection with a good flavor and nice size filet for the cost (8/10). The chicken was good and crispy also with a good flavor my mom loved the waffles. The margarita was tasty but in a relatively small cup but the pour ounces was measured spot on a I watched her make it. Good flavor. They do have happy hour, nice music playing, TVs to watch sports, and food specials. However my only want would be something vegetarian like a pasta or a great fried eggplant sandwich. I would return to this establishment as the music and TV's are a vibe

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

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

As soon as I walked in, I saw so many goodies I knew I was taking home. They had a very well curated selection of fancy condiments from small makers, rare ingredients, and the highest quality version of many every day foods! Everyone behind the counter was so friendly and knowledgeable. I had to try one of their sandwiches and got the salmon po boy at their recommendation. It was really well seasoned and super fresh with a very generous slice of fish on it. Definitely coming back for another one next time I'm in the area! Thank you so much for great service and products!

The bread service was fantastic. The tomato focaccia and the baguette were both excellent and I had to remind myself not to fill up on it before the main meal! LOL! We started with the calamari which was very well seasoned and clearly not the typical frozen version you often see from foodservice distributors. It tasted fresh, was crispy, and well prepared. For dinner I ordered the margherita pizza which was simple and delicious. I ended up ordering a second one to-go for my partner who couldn't make it to dinner. He also loved it - even after it sat for ~30 min or so while we chatted more, then drove home to the Maywood area. I would imagine their delivery is pretty good based on that! My mom had the rigatoni vodka with added crumbled Italian sausage which she loved, and my dad ordered the Marcelino. He loved the generous amount of seafood and how well seasoned it was. My parents are big wine drinkers and my dad was especially impressed with the wine list and the selection available. Oscar was an incredible server!! He struck the perfect balance of being attentive while still letting us enjoy a relaxed, unhurried evening. The support staff and food runners were also fantastic and very friendly, making the entire service experience feel polished! I also loved the kitchen was more open which gives you confidence in the quality and care that goes into the food. The dining space is inviting with a nice bar area and an additional room that looks perfect for busy nights or private gatherings. Overall a great restaurant that we would absolutely return to!!

I almost didn't know what to make of our visit. We were here about a week ago and things started…read morepretty slow. The table bread didn't come out until we ordered and we waited quite a minute to order because our waiter would take a while to come back each time. The restaurant was not crowded at all so it was hard to understand what was taking so long. The first batch of bread was hard and my child's pasta pieces were also somewhat hard. It was just a bit of a mess at first. Then all of our food finally came, plates were smelling good and that helped lift our moods. My husband said that his pasta was just really spicy and the flavor itself wasn't really there. My pasta (vongole) was actually pretty good. We had to ask for Parmesan which helped with flavor for sure but I tried to have no complaints once our dishes came out. It was a nice place to try. If I was to visit again, I would be going to try their paella.

They were definitely not prepared for the crowd of couples. A few minutes after we sat down, a waitress who was not ours came by and asked if we had ordered already. We said no, thinking that she would help get us started. Instead, she took my boyfriend's menu to hand to her table. This left a bad impression on us. Food wise, it was delicious and all food came out in a timely manner. They were being pretty strict about only being seated for 1.5 hours max due to the rush. Our waitress was fine, checked in on us in a timely manner. I love the interior design of this place, and it looks really nice in their patio. I don't think I'll be coming back though, at least not during any nights I know it'll be crowded.
