Food is fantastic. Price is high. Service from Nick (owner) was TERRIBLE…read more I was a long-time (20+ yr), loyal customer up til I was yelled at by Nick because I spoke up about consistently receiving orders much later than promised via online orders. I had placed many online orders for pick-up on my 30min lunch break, to ensure I had proper time to drive to, pick up my food, and quickly drive back from the restaurant. After a few pick-ups took around 20mins after promised time, I was pretty upset. I was told they only start making food once the person is there to pick it up, so I asked what's the point of placing an order online and receiving a pick-up time, when the food only starts to get made once you're at the restaurant to pick up? That's when the owner stepped in (My family and I have had many pleasant convos with him before at the old location), turned red, bunched up his face, and legit yelled at me "What do you expect? Do you want your fries to be cold or do you want them fresh?" (I was taken aback, and responded "I expect my order to be ready at the time indicated"). He told me I could go elsewhere. I get it. I was receiving consistently poor service and was upset when I asked the cashier about timing, so he stepped in to defend his worker. What I don't get is how you can tell a customer to go somewhere else when they're expecting their food at the time promised (or at least within 5 mins...I'm not THAT picky). Perhaps my expectations are too high?

I placed my order online and it was super easy and ready to go no more than 15 minutes. I was quickly greeted upon entering and my order was already ready to go. I ordered this weeks special #1 which was very light on the stomach but filling. Plenty of cheese, chicken, and tomatoes throughout with a nice light sauce over penne. The chicken parm was also very good. Right amount of cheese and parm on top with great breading and a perfectly cooked chicken breast. The housemade sauce was on another level. Very tangy with plenty of tomato chunks just the way I like it. Very good portions at a very good price.

Food was amazing. It was unfortunate that they sold out of ribs, rib tips, and pulled pork. But…read morethe food was amazing and for the price, well worth it. I had the beef ribs, fried catfish, brisket, and ox tails and my mom the catfish. Beef ribs were great and moist. Arguable the best beef rib I have had but every bbq I been that sells it is also good so to each their own. Brisket was amazing and honestly some of the best brisket I have had. Even after going to places like terry black's, the flavor here was perfect. Good savoring with a little bit of sweetness from the smoke. Catfish was well season, fresh and crispy. And the ox tails while good, I wasn't going crazy for. Decent flavor but nothing I would get again. First time having ox tails too. The only negative was that the meat is more on the fatty side. While that didn't bother me, I know my mom disliked it more and if you prefer more leanness you may not like that. If I am ever in the area I will happily go there again and I pray they don't sell out of all their pork! Service was good. No issues. Overall ambience was nice and if you're worried it is sketchy or unsafe, it isn't. Friendly staff and people.

They give you a nice amount of food in a small rib tip. I was quite surprised. The sauce was good, but it wasn't the best I've had. I prefer the sauce at places like pitstop.

Decided on the TikTok sandwich which is turkey and corned beef with all the condiments and fries with Hennessey sauce. The sandwich was ok and with all the stuff that comes on the sandwich you can barely taste the meat. The fries was just fries Customer service was excellent. The restaurant in general is small and first time customers get to sign the wall. Overall I wouldn't get the sandwich again but will go back to try other menu items.

I swear everytime I've gone into a fish place recently they've all been out of catfish, but luckily…read morenot today! This black owned business has above average standing room in the waiting area, two TVs and an ATM with a good amount of seats/benches. Seems like it might've been an old chinese food joint with a few tables, but they opted for a pure takeout experience (which is unfortunately the trend nowadays.) Since it was my first time I thought I'd try both the fish and chicken combo along with the dirty rice. The total came out to be $24 with the wait being about 15 minutes. The staff overall were nice.      After leaving the place and checking the food. I realized that the combo dinner didn't contain a roll and coleslaw like advertised which was kind of disappointing. It did have the fries though. The requested lemon pepper was there, but they also seasoned the chicken/catfish with garlic powder, salt and parsley which is fine. Everything was fried hard, but not dry which creates the perfect pleasurable crunch. The chicken and fish tasted better than a lot of the restaurants in the area with the fish having a lightness to the breading that's sorely missed. Some of the chicken was weirdly tough though as if it was slightly undercooked.      Speaking of misses we have to talk about the dirty rice. Dirty rice is one of those dishes that seems like it either is absolute perfection or an abomination with no in-between. This unfortunately falls into the latter with it not only looking boring with all brown notes, but the initial taste as well as texture being an off putting creamy rancid trip to flavor hell. After a just a few bites my stomach turned which does not bode well for this dish. I have no idea what went wrong here, but it seems like it may have been sitting out too long. Even the smell was a bit rancid. At least it has a good ratio of ground beef to rice which a lot of places skimp on. They also attempted to add in some vegetables like peppers although they are barely noticeable.       Overall Surf's up is a good spot with friendly staff, decent prices, but some issues with quality. My advice is to make sure the cooking temps are correct and consistent. Definitely make sure if food is sitting idle, that it is kept at the mandatory minimum of 140 degrees farenheit to avoid it going rancid so quickly. Also, double check the orders before sending them out or edit the menu if it is outdated.

I was greeted by friendly employees at two counters, one for Andy's Sunflower cafe which sells coffee and tea, and one for food (Ain't She Sweet). I had no idea what to order so I asked the teammate at the counter and after discussing my spice tolerance, decided to go for the Jerk Chicken Wrap since it's so popular. It was a bit spicer than medium, which I was warned, but it was worth it. The chicken was juicy and tender and I was impressed by the freshness of the other ingredients as well as their tortilla wrap selection! The chicken gumbo was also quite tasty. I would order both again. The prices were reasonable, it was a $3 upcharge for a side of soup. I sat in the restaurant to eat and enjoyed the music. I think I might have found my new lunch spot!
