    I be tryna gate keep this spot but omg. Everything is perfect
    Paul H.

    Yea I waited years to post about this spot . I tried to Gate keep . But they just so good . No complaints ever.

    This is a half dark with extra gravy, plantains and cabbage

    I love the one on 79th and Preston the food is always fresh and hot. The only thing that I don't care for is that they never have any beef patties but everything else is on point. It's always good. They're always so nice and polite. The place is clean And it's not a long wait. I wish they made one out by my house is no Jerk restaurants out by me but I love love love love love this the oxtails are phenomenal and so is the jerk chicken

    I heard so much about this place and finally got a chance to try them out. The chicken didn't have any flavor, the macaroni and cheese was soggy and not good. I hope this was a one off since this place is where most people are recommending.

    The service was awful!!!!! The woman behind the counter was not friendly and rude! The food was pretty good. But the service was very poor. Will not be returning.

    This clean good awesome flavorful Jer hut will surprise you with its good customer service. This Jamaican cuisine is really good my favorite spot in all of Chicago. Better than jerk villa on 79th Street and Good to Go in evanstan,Evanston,. Please try this gem on sauk trail.

    Two dark meat dinner plates. I chose cabbage and plantains as the side the red beans and rice comes with it automatically.

    Two dark meat dinner plates. I chose cabbage and plantains as the side the red beans and rice comes with it automatically. Everything taste good. The chicken isn't super spicy, the cabbage and rice still has bite and wasn't over cooked. The only thing I didn't like for the second time was the JERK SAUCE. It was salty this time-- really salty. Would I still order from them?? Yes, because the only thing I didn't like was the sauce and I can make my own. FYI, no Covid precautions are being taken inside this restaurant from the looks of it (especially on the customer side). No one is wearing gloves, no hand sanitizer is out for customers and there is no mask sign on their door/establishment.

    I was really looking forward to this place for lunch today! So dissatisfied and disappointing. The chicken doesn't taste jerked at all, its just grilled chicken. You can tell from the picture the chicken doesn't have much seasoning. I don't like it. It lacks flavor. I expected so much more. I wanted plantains but they weren't ripe, and to substitute with yams or Mac n cheese was an up charge. My only option was more cabbage or this sad salad. Unbelievable! I was going to Order the Currie chicken until they had No plantain's and limited options without an up charge. I won't be back and no, I don't recommend. My homemade jerk is better and I'm an amateur. Good thing I only wasted $12.59, gas and my precious time in that I can't get back!

Still new so I was told the menu may change. The entrance is with the jewelry store so don't confuse with the bar door. Tables and chairs so you can eat in.

I ordered the chicken tenders for a coworker and box of chicken (4 pieces) for myself. Service was friendly and efficient and the owner was even kind enough to throw in some extra hot sauces and tenders just for the wait. Now that's service! As for the chicken, my friend said the tenders were deliciously cooked, juicy and flavorful! I had the 4 piecer which came with breast, thigh, wing and drum stick. All were cooked to perfection and tasted fresh, crisp and hot. I tried all 3 of the sauces as I def love my condiments and they too were good! Would I come back? Heck yeah! If I'm in the area again, I'd def come back for some finger lickin chicken, oh wait that's a different place. Thanks Rays!

Since it took so long to be corrected it became an order to go. No offer was made to compensate us for the mixup in the order or the time it took to to give me another order. Poor customer service. Nothing special about the greens or mac&cheese. I will not be back.

    I've been wanting to try this place for awhile so finally, 10/15/25 was the day. My friend and I…read moremade the drive from the city of Chicago to Monee, IL which was about 40 minutes. We get there and there is a cute young girl who greets us with an apron and chef's hat on. She seats us and takes our order - she was our waitress which surprised us. I ordered a cup of chicken noodle soup to have before my meal. I'm glad I got a cup and not a bowl. The cup was only half full. The soup was lacking flavor so I added pepper. The woman who is GrannyMa delivered the soup. She didn't speak to us or anything the entire time while we were there which didn't feel too nice. They were sold out of the beef liver, beef shortribs and sweet potatoes. We ordered the fried chicken (menu states it takes 20-25 minutes for the chicken) and the salmon croquettes. Each dinner comes with 2 sides each so we got the macaroni and cheese, green beans, dressing and mostaccioli (slight extra charge for the mostaccioli). Fried chicken was crispy and delicious! Seasoned well. The croquettes were good also - they give you two big patties in the dinner. We weren't impressed with the green beans as you can tell they came out of a can. The dressing was only okay. The mac and cheese was pretty good but the best side was the mostaccioli - it had a layer of cheese on top and was really yummy. I wish I had gotten that as a meal, it was that good and highly recommend it. For dessert I got the peach cobbler sundae which is peach cobbler with vanilla ice cream on top. The cobbler sauce was very thin. I like cobbler that has alot of flaky crust but this didn't have that but it still was good enough to eat the whole thing. The young girl brought us our bill. The prices are so reasonable for what you get. Our bill was only $62 with tax for all of what we had. The place is bright with warm colors inside. We conversated with the son-in-law to GrannyMa's, he was very nice and personable. Although the young girl was sweet, I felt some kind of way of her being our waitress because clearly she is underage to be working. We were told they have a Sunday brunch from 11-3 that includes a DJ. To my friend and I, the food overall was either hit or miss. One review mention about GrannyMa engaging them in conversation - she never came over to our table except to drop off the soup and she is the owner of the restaurant. Not a good way in customer service if you ask me. Overall, okay.

    Wow, this was an experience! I've been a patron of Harold's Chicken since the late 80's. This…read moreestablishment was clean, and seasonings, sauces, and shirts were available for sale. Well stocked with a delightful presentation. We purchased a red velvet cake (my wife's favorite) and peanut butter cookies. The cake was moist and full of flavor. The cookies were soft and flavorful. We purchased the same seasonings they use to cook the chicken in the store. Well priced and convenient. Side note: the owners have a link to purchase via Amazon. Show them some love. Gloria and Will were respectful and patient as I figured out what my aunt decided her order over the phone ( I hate not knowing g my order while at the register, love you, Aunty). Now, the food, I wish I had taken a picture. My wife had perch and wings; I had wings; my aunt had wings, too. Not only was the fish light and crispy, but it didn't taste like the chicken at all. You can tell they didn't take any shortcuts in using the same grease. The wings were sooooo good, fried just right. I'm a hot-and-mild person, so the proportions of both were spot on. This was by far my best experience. I've been to Harold's all over Chicago and Atlanta. Thank you to those running this place for the experience. I guess I'll have to make this my new stop when I'm back home now. I'll take pictures next time of the food.

    I have tried to order from this location 4 times and have yet to get any food. First time I went in…read moreI was refused service and told that they were too busy to take any more orders at the time. The second time I went in and the same thing happened. Third time, I was actually able to place an order and pay, but after about 5 minutes of sitting there waiting for my order, I was told that they were out of chicken breasts and did I want to substitute something else like dark meat or fish. I did not and asked for a refund only to be told that nobody there had the code to do a refund and the owner would refund my order at a later time. When I commented that this was the third time I was unable to get food the lady told me that I could get food, just not the food that I wanted. So rude and unprofessional. I went in the next day to talk the owner and he showed me that the order had been refunded and offered to give me a half white the next time I came in. So today I go to the store at 5 o'clock PM and the door is locked, no sign on the door, no people in sight. I have never had to work this hard to get a restaurant to take my money. I would prefer to support a local business rather than go to a big chain restaurant. The owners seem like really nice people (only reason I was willing to try a fourth time), but this kind of service is just unacceptable.
