    Catfish, loaded mash, broccoli and cheese
    Jasmine N.

    The catfish was good. The pieces were meaty and filling. The broccoli and loaded mash potatoes were also good, however, I don't like that type of cheese on my broccoli. Cheddar would have been better for me. Oh, and the Buffalo chicken soul rolls were tasty as well. Update! The short ribs were really good, tender and meaty.

    Grilled chicken

    Sooooooo out in the area late night and they were still open! Great bookmarked, so let's try. Plus I've seen it promoted on IG. So we walk in grab a menu and review the menu board, and the prices are different *SIDE EYE* We ordered Philly cheese steak egg rolls, beef short ribs, grilled chicken, plus sides, but unfortunately, they were out of yams. The food was freshly prepared so it took about 20mins. Food was received fresh & hot. Short ribs were delicious, didn't taste the grilled chicken, but the way my husband left the bones it must've been delicious LMAO. My Philly egg rolls didn't have veggies in them! No green peppers or onions, that ain't no Philly steak steak. Lbvs I'd go back and try the seafood, but only if I'm in the area. I wouldn't go out my way at all!!!! Oh, & the Sides were weak too!

    Shrimp Alfredo Pasta

    On my quest to find something for lunch I came across S2 Express Grill on Uber Eats and everything looked good. I Ordered the Alfredo with Shrimp + S2 Ultra Rolls were Philly Steak. The Shrimp Alfredo was very good it was seasoned very well. I just wish the shrimp tails were not on the shrimp but still good none the less. The Philly Steak Roll were okay weren't anything to write home about. The Food arrived hot and fresh. The price range is average and the money. I will definitely be ordering again

    Maybe my expectations were set too high prior to coming here but I didn't enjoy the food here. The lobster tail was tasteless although I ordered it jerked. In addition to no flavor I felt like the lobster tails should've been cheaper because it was extremely small. The shrimp & grits had some huge shrimp in them however the grits had a soup like consistency & this too was virtually tasteless. The philly rolls weren't bad per se however they couldn't stand up to other cheesesteaks in the city. Twas served with ranch also but it didn't make them anymore enjoyable. I feel like they would improve with cheese whiz however I'm not sure howd that work being fried. The food is made to order & it came out in about 15 minutes. The menu is quite extensive & they even serve breakfast all day long.

    Girl & the Goat is a must go in Chicago. Between the reputation, the awards, and the fame of chef…read moreStephanie Izard, my expectations were high. I made this reservation more than a month in advance and was genuinely excited when I finally snagged a table. Thankfully, the meal delivered. The space itself is exactly what I hoped for--minimal, chic, and effortlessly cool. Nothing feels overdesigned or trendy for the sake of being trendy. The menu is also refreshingly approachable. It's creative without being overwhelming, and there's enough variety that everyone can find something they'll love. Before I even get into the food, I have to give a huge shoutout to our server, Kona. She was absolutely incredible and deserves a raise. Attentive without hovering, knowledgeable without being pretentious, and genuinely invested in making sure we had a great experience. Service like that elevates an entire meal. The drinks were fantastic too. Strong, well-balanced, and with enough variety that there's truly something for everyone. I had both a Manhattan and an Old Fashioned, and neither disappointed. The Manhattan was bold and spirit-forward, while the Old Fashioned was exactly what I wanted--strong, slightly sweet, and the perfect companion to dessert. To start, we ordered the Pita & Dips, and thank goodness we did. The pita itself is enormous, warm, and beautifully prepared. The dips were fresh, vibrant, and packed with flavor. It's one of those dishes that seems simple on paper but ends up being one of the most satisfying things on the table. The famous Green Beans absolutely lived up to the hype. Kona came by and suggested pairing them with the halibut, which is exactly the kind of thoughtful service that makes a difference. She didn't have to do that, but she did, and she was right. The green beans were incredible--crunchy, savory, addictive, and somehow far more exciting than green beans have any right to be. I'd honestly come back just for this dish. The Pan-Roasted Halibut was another standout. Fresh, flavorful, and beautifully balanced. The acidity cut through the richness of the fish while the subtle sweetness tied everything together. It felt bright and refined without losing comfort-factor. The Goat Empanadas were exactly what fried food should be. Crispy, flavorful, and impossible to stop eating. Sometimes restaurants try to overcomplicate things, but this dish succeeded because it simply executed the fundamentals perfectly. Then came the Roasted Pig Face, which might have been the most fun dish of the night. Mixing everything together transformed the plate into something completely different from its individual parts. The textures were fantastic, and the potatoes added an element I wasn't expecting but thoroughly enjoyed. It's playful, creative, and a perfect example of why Girl & the Goat became famous in the first place. And then dessert happened. We ordered the Popcorn Situation, and I now understand why people talk about it. The combination of sweetness, saltiness, creaminess, and crunch somehow works perfectly. That cake, the cheese component, the salty notes - everything came together in a way that sounds unusual on paper but tastes absolutely incredible. Overall, Girl & the Goat lives up to its hype. I'll 100% be back

Service is polished, the space feels classic Chicago, and it's a great place to relax before or after a performance downtown.

The blueberries were sweet, and it was like eating a blueberry crepe/pancake. The sweetness level was not overpowering, which was what made this dish so enjoyable. The "Bhel" Hummus and Spicy Whipped Feta were both very tasty. I loved the fruitiness of the "Bhel" Hummus and loved how the Spicy Whipped Feta had its pomegranate bits. Each were so unique, and it was an adventure with each bite. Excellent service and food overall. It was a pleasant new experience.
