    Catfish combo with shrimp
    NENE W.

    Recently, I had the pleasure of dining at 'Highly Flavored' Restaurant in Calumet City. I want to post my review on the food and service I received. Upon entering the establishment I was greeted with a friendly and welcoming hello by the lady working the register. She was very pleasant. I informed her that this was my first time visiting. She said again welcome and I hope you will visit again. The menu is extensive with the business being a small restaurant with limited seating. There was so much to choose from, it was very hard for me to decide. I settled on the catfish combo with shrimp, it came with fries & garlic bread. I asked if it would be okay for me to dine in, her reply was absolutely. I placed order that included a carry out of 12 children wings for my family. Of course, on my ride home I had to try one of them wings that had my car smelling good. The wings tasted like I made them myself; seasoned well and cooked to perfection. I nearly forgot to mention that I also ordered their South Shore egg rolls to go. I didn't eat them until later that evening for dinner; they were delicious. I am certain they were a lot more crispy when I received my order. However, I had a very long drive home in heavy Chicago traffic. The next time I order them, I will eat them upon receipt. Upon receiving my 'eat in' order it was piping hot, fresh and delicious. The catfish was real catfish not Swai fish that is now being pushed off at some local restaurants as catfish. This fish was crispy on the outside and thick and flaky on the inside. There isn't anything bad that I can say about my experience I had at this location. When I arrived at the restaurant there was only one person ahead of me and they were picking up a 'door dash' order. After I placed my order the door never stopped opening. Several customers were coming in to either place an order, pick up a call in order or picking up a 'door dash' order. One customer asked the clerk if she was the one preparing the grits and the clerk responded yes! As the customer left the restaurant she said 'you are going to have to share that recipe with me; those grits are really good'! In my mind, I said well now I have to come back for the Shrimp and Grits! If you are in the mood for some good home cooked food stop by 'Highly Flavored' Restaurant, you will not be disappointed. They have two locations, Chicago (Roseland/Pullman) and Calumet City.

    Super Dry Ass Turkey Wing and what is that white crap on the rice? And nasty ass corn that's seriously not fried.

    You can't support black businesses. Disgusting food and the wrong food at that!!! Dry ass fried turkey and I'm lactose intolerant and they gave me Mac and cheese for no reason!!!! I could've gotten sick and I called and told them but the man-woman on the phone assured me I wouldn't become sick and laughed in My face. Never again and I'm telling everyone to Beware.

    A student brought in leftovers and was " You have to try this!", so I did and loved it. I had to try some fresh rollz for myself today. The girls and I tried the Italian beef, south side and jerk chicken ones. The jerk one was the best. I am looking forward to exploring more on the menu in the weeks to come.

    Highly Flavored is the perfect name for this carry out only establishment. The food is seasoned to perfection! The young lady who takes your order, is friendly, thoughtful and runs the place like a well oiled machine . Everything we ordered was outstanding from the chicken wings, to the catfish with macaroni and cheese to the fried rice with chicken. Also, they have a sweet and savory sauce that they make in house that was absolutely delicious and it made the fish even more craveable. If you don't want to cook, but you want to take home some down home seasoned food then this is the place for you. I'm returning to try their eggrolls, and their turkey burgers.

    JERK CHICKEN FRIED RICE AND SALMON/shrimp ALFREDO!

    The food is absolutely amazing! Salmon Alfredo is my favorite on the menu! Always ask if chef Shana is there!!! She's the best!

    Place exceeded my expectations. Cons are the price & the jerk chicken rolls having both zero jerk flavor & aside from the accompanying cheese having any flavor at all. When coupled with the sauces they're much better but honestly they fail in comparison to the rice & lemon pepper shrimp. It's also worth mentioning that the fries are prosaic also. With those tidbits aside this rice was amazing. Extremely similar to the rice found at hibachi restaurants but with tons more flavors. You'd be hard pressed to find a better rice dish in all of Chicago tbh. The lemon pepper shrimp were also a welcome surprise. Other establishments should take notes to what exactly lemon pepper should be because this is it. The portions are on the medium side of the spectrum but with the fries you'd fill any appetite.

    Combo fried plate w/ jerk chicken , shrimp & orange chicken .

    I ordered the combo fried plate. It has orange chicken , shrimp & jerk chicken . Overall I would rate it a 7/10 bcuz it was too much soy sauce I was tasting ( or some other sauce they cook the rice in was way too much). The smash burger tho is a 10/10 !!

    Bottom bun drenched in sauce making it extremely soggy after 10 minute drive home

    I'm writing this review because I love to support Black owned businesses whenever I can, and hope that leaving reviews helps to address customers concerns and helps to make the establishment a better and more successful business. With that being said, today was my first time trying this restaurant as I have heard so many good things about it and I was very excited to try them out. I ordered the Hot honey Chicken sandwich. So first, the menu does not indicate that the sandwich comes with onions on the online menu or in store, and had it said that I would have firmly asked for NO onions. I don't like the smell, much less the taste of onions. However, upon receiving my order it had a large amount of onions on the sandwich. I was too far to turn around, so I just picked them off, but the presence of them alone already altered the taste of the sandwich for me. The reviews I have read in the past states that food is made to order so expect a wait time around 25-30 mins, which I'm all for because I love that restaurants serve you your food fresh. My order took 11 minutes, so I don't know if that meant my food was not made to order, or if what I specifically ordered just doesn't take as long. That I'm a little unsure about. With that I will say, the food was not cold, but it was not hot either. Also, I personally am not a "spicy" girlie so I love to have another flavor to help balance out the heat. With that being said, the sandwich was EXTREMELY sweet. No "hot" to the "hot honey" at all. I would describe the sauce as having a sweet syrup like consistency. By the time I was able to start eating the sandwich, the sauce had completely drenched the bottom bun making it soggy and basically fell apart when trying to eat it. The chicken itself was seasoned well, but that all got lost by the amount of sauce that it was covered in. I will say, the pickles are what made the sandwich. They really help to break up some of the sweetness from the sauce, with a nice crunch. Now as far as customer service, I have zero complaints. The staff was very nice and efficient. They were not rude at all, and very helpful. I wish the efficiency in the customer matched what I was served today. All in all, I do appreciate the business, and like the variety on the menu and the fact they sell brunch items during all business hours. I would like to give this place another visit in the future, but I hope that I have a much better experience when it comes to the quality of the food.

    Smash burger with bacon and non-requested onion

    Today, we attempted to give this restaurant a 2nd chance and yet again they did not follow preparation instructions. One Smash burger was dressed as requested with no bacon, yet the other was dressed with red onion. As a restaurant, it's important to adhere to food allergies and requests to omit certain components/condiments due to dietary restrictions. Upon pickup, I verbally verified with the manager that the order was prepared as requested and he specifically said, if not, provide a Google review. Moreover, I didn't think I needed to remove the bun and inspect. The food is good however, to eat out is not cheap and the inability to prepare as requested, has caused them to lose us as a customers.

    Fried turkey

    Saw this restaurant suggestion on TikTok. We ordered 3 entrees and one appetizer. Jerk chicken rolls were delicious; highly recommend. Catfish and Gouda grits were good but I got a thin fillet cut in half, so I feel I didn't get my money worth. Fried lamb chops; delicious. Fried Turkey wings and corn on the cob strips were too salty. If you like highly seasoned food you'll love Highly Flavored. If you have high-blood pressure, steer clear. My only other minor pet peeve is they don't have water!! C'mom!!! Go to Costco and get a 24 bottle case of water for $3.99. I was so thirsty and I didn't want the sweet sugary punch available

    The smash burger was a disaster- wilted lettuce and tomato , red onion pieces, no bacon ass stayed in description and meat was burnt.

    I heard about their potato salad 2 days ago. Looked at reviews and I would say at least 60 %…read morecommented on their potato salad. Now the next day I'm obsessed about trying this potato salad. It's about 25 mins from my house. Being lazy but couldn't let it go. So I went and got a container of potato salad and a lemon bar. Walking out forgot to ask for a fork. Because I knew as soon as I got in my car I was going to try it. Very very good. While thinking why is this so good? Hard to explain. It's creamy little bits of celery. Potato pieces are a perfect size. Just plain goodness. Moving on to the lemon square. Didn't try until later that evening. Not an expert on lemon squares but damn this was so so delicious. The tart/sweet perfect. But the buttery crust just perfect. One more bite, one more but it had me hooked like a junkie! All gone. Now the issue is it's late and they are closed if course. But I needed my fix. Now it's the next morning. 2 hours until they open. Decisions decisions... Very nice people. A wonderful experience.

    Chicken wrap and Carrot cake are best I ever had. The staff are always so pleasant.read more
