I was quite impressed! This is definitely a contemporary spin on a greasy spoon, neighborhood restaurant. Although I ordered my food to go, the space was inviting enough to dine-in. The menu is EXTENSIVE, ranging from lobster tails to pizza puffs! So, if you are indecisive like me, you may want to look online at the menu before you go inside. Ok, to the most important - the food! I was not disappointed at all. I tried the Buffalo Chicken egg rolls and Chicken Philly sandwich, and both were tasty! They do not serve liquor, but there is an extremely nice liquor store next door (I promise, it's nice), and you can do BYOB. The service was prompt, I was in and out in about 20 minutes. read more

I cannot speak about their food because I never receive my order after waiting an hour. What I can say is the customer service is trash. There is no communication between the front of the house and the kitchen. I came back in after waiting 30 minutes to verify if they had the correct phone number, and I was told "yes," and it will be up soon. I come back after waiting another 30 minutes and find out the kitchen/cook never received my order. I wondered why my order was taking so long; I saw people who ordered after me received their lamb dinners, chicken dinner, etc., all I ordered was Jerk Paste and Jerk rolls. I hate that we have such bad service in our neighborhoods. Nevertheless, I will take my business elsewhere and persuade others to do the same. I can't wait until they open up The Licking Chicago on Stoney. :( read more

Ambiance: small spot inside and BYOB. Not the most comfortable dine in experience but if you want to chill and get some Good food this is the place. The food was Really good! The catfish was Yummmyyy and I enjoyed the sides too! I would def travel back to the South Side to get it again! Kinda expensive though, not your typical hood corner store prices but the food was good so I would spend the few extra $$ & go here! read more

the chicken in mychiken salad was burnt and dryed out this is the one on 103rd St in Chicago

The menu looks so delicious. I finally went yesterday and tried the steak Philly. It was everything I was looking for. I will be back. I dine out frequently but I'm happy that I don't have to travel too far for good food. While I wait I just head over to A&S read more

I come to this restaurant at least 3 or 4 times out of the month and when I say I've never encountered such awesome energy. The cashier was very patient and extremely kind to me she listened to my order and my life problems, she also had some great recommendations as far as food to try becabuse always get the same thing. The food was great as always! Although I don't usually do reviews the young lady asked me to do so and she gave me such great service I couldn't refuse . Thanks Again Brianna read more

So..... I loved 2S Express Grill so much I used to order sometimes 2X per week delivery. Quality food well prepared, appearance, hardy portions. One day I was in the area so I stopped in. I pay close attention to restaurant aesthetics. If it looks dingy & dirty that curbs my appetite & I'm done. S2 was clean, organized and the decor was cute and lively- read more

I just ordered them through uber eats for the first time... The best best dam food I've tasted so far this year! Whew. Please try them when you get a chance. read more

Found a wine tasting on FB for the spirits liquor store next door, and one of the owners of the liquor store took me next door to meet the ower of the restaurant. So glad that I decided to go back and grab a meal. The lamb chops (tender) and fresh mashed potatoes are delicious. I cleaned the lamb chops bone, nothing left. I'll be going back to try the rest of the menu. And.....I live on the north side of Chicago. This plate of food made it north, and still is delicious. That right there let's me know it is worth it. read more

S2 Express Grill - Lamb chops and fresh mashed potatoes. - New American Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Tried the jerk lamb chops. I thought the food was excellent. Only complaint was dinner only came with 2 chops I was definitely expecting 4 chops for $25 but wouldn't have had a problem with 3. That's the only negative thing I have to say I'll be going back to check out other items on their menu. read more

BYOB and food? What more can you ask for? I was so happy to know that S2 is back but with a full kitchen. They are known for their food and this express location is a great idea. I had the famous chicken with S2 sauce for the first time along with seasoned fires. My sister had the jerk chicken fries. All very good. - @bombandbossy on social read more

Good food, said they would call when my order was done but never called. Finally after an hour went in and my order had been sitting. Was bumed out since I wanted my lobster tails to be eaten warm. read more

Alyssa answered at 1:38p after an order I placed before 1am had been canceled Alyssa continued to lie. And give a million reasons as to why my food had been canceled without checking or trying to resolve my issue. No consideration. Poor customer service. read more

I'm fond of the buffalo chicken egg rolls here. They are pretty good and if reviewing on the rolls alone I'd give this place 4 stars. However the constant lack of proper customer service really sours the experience for me. Even if you place your order ahead of time expect to be ignored for about 5 minutes after walking in before being asked if you're ordering or picking up. read more

This is probably the 5th time ordering for this restaurant. I am really trying to spend my money in my neighborhood but black people come on. First you don't answer the phone so I can call in my order. Second, when I go in to order the person at the register is Clueless about what is on the menu. Third when I get my chicken taco dinner home, its not cooked the same as when I ordered it a few weeks ago. I paid $15 for tacos and i can get the same or better at a Mexican restaurant for less.. You Must be consistent with your food S2. I may give you one more try but I'm really disappointed. read more

Ordered through Grubhub and I must say the food was really good. The lobster tail was cooked perfectly (which pleasantly surprised me). The Alfredo was pretty good, but the pasta was a bit overcooked for my liking. Overall the food was well made and fresh, and if I'm in the mood, I would definitely order again. I wish they would expand their offerings, perhaps grilled chicken breast or an additional pasta on the menu. Either way, it's definitely worth trying. read more

Food is amazing! LOVE the LAMB BURGERS and WINGS... but that SAUCE!!! Yes yes yes!!! Excellent service and super clean! -Raine

I live not so far from the place and today was my first time trying their shrimp, chicken, jerk chicken Alfredo and mannnnnnnnnn, let me tell you. Food was super bomb and will definitely keep ordering from there again. Best food in the Southside. read more

I'd love to give this place five stars based off of taste alone but I can't. I placed a catering order here a few weeks ago for my birthday: a small pan of macaroni, small pan of sweet potatoes, a small pan of wings, and an individual order of veggie stir fry. Total was about $155. My first problem is they wouldn't allow me to place the order over the phone, even tho I was willing to pay in full. The catering menu tells you to call in 24-48 hours with at least half your deposit. When I did this, no one knew what to do and when I talked to a manager, she was kind of nasty. She was supposed to give me a call back after talking to her boss but never did. So that night at 10pm, I went in person to place my catering order which was so inconvenient for me. I also had to pay the full price, not half as the catering menu stated. Fast forward to the day I'm supposed to get my food. Even tho my order was paid for in full and I was willing to pay whatever delivery price there was, they wouldn't deliver my order. This was another major inconvenience. At this point I was embarrassed because I'd place such a big order and still couldn't get better customer service. I used to order from this place 3-4 times a week and really wanted to support because I knew it was black owned but I can't support bad service. Food is always exceptional but I wish they'd get some better people working in there. read more

This was my first experience at the establishment & I thoroughly enjoyed it. While entering I was greeted with warmth & a good atmosphere. Brionna who took our order was extremely welcoming & personable. Though I was hesitant to drift from my comfort food such as a burger or tacos. Brionna challenged me to indulge in the dinner options after almost leaning to the burger I decided to go for the steak. After eating the meal, I can say that this establishments is legit. The steak, loaded mash potatoes, & asparagus were cooked immaculately. After having a taste of the food, I could not follow my first thought to wait until i got home because the food was too good. The mixture of all the food coming together in my mouth left me craving more. Thank you to Brionna for challenging me to get out my zone & like you said, I was definitely not disappointed! I cannot wait until I come back to try more of the options! read more

Excellent food...with a great selection off their menu. It helps that they undated their menu and have a electronic one...much easier to read. Getting back to the food. Just go there and experience S2.Tell them Jay sent u. Lol read more

Trash food and the customer service is horrible after waiting all day for my food. I finally sit down to eat. And there's a hair in my food. I drive 30 miles back to the restaurant to take it back and get a refund and they say there are no refunds. They offered to remake my order but who wants to chance it being hair in the food again . Never coming to this place again. read more

One of my fav restaurants. I usually do delivery, but recently I was in the area so I stopped by. Aesthetically pleasing decor clean place and friendly staff. Every thing ordered is excellent pasta, salads, grilled fish - all seasoned properly and generous portions. read more

The food is seasoned to perfection!! My only wish is that the space needs to be larger for dine in. This is a hidden gem!!! The BEST food in Chicago, including downtown! read more

The prices are on the high side but the quality and quantity are worth it to me. I had a chic jerk salad one day and the shrimp'n grits another which were utterly fantastic! read more

Came here with my fiance. We got free mixed drink samples from the liquor store and ate our food on the patio. Extremely nice/professional staff and the food... To die for! Delicious jerk chicken Alfredo and succulent chicken breast meal if you are looking for something healthier. I've been having cravings for this food everyday and I'll definitely be back! read more

Hands down the best wings in Chicago. Still super hot after delivery and made my kitchen smell heavenly. The meat was so tender and fell right off the bone. I'd eat there everyday if I could. Can't wait to order the jerked beef sandwich soon! read more

nasty mess. jerk seasoning just thrown on topnot worth the Money we spent. that's why it's buy one get one free because the owners know it's crap. read more

Outstanding variety of food! Nice little chill spot. Not huge but nice ambiance. A must try if you over that way. The food is made fresh, takes a min, but Its worth the wait. If dining in, as my group did, it's B.Y.O.B. Hit it up! read more

So many different varieties of food. Food is really good. Wait time could be long depending on what you ordering.

My favorite place to go but they are terrible at time and consideration. I ordered my favorite meal it came out horrible so i took it back they kept giving everyone the " theres only one cook " excuse but thats not an plausible excuse. After returning my waffle i waited 30 minutes to keep getting told its coming A WAFFLE THOUGH it takes less than3 minutes and they barely wanted to refund me read more

Just wanted to support local business on this Mothers day.. BIG MISTAKE!!!! First off it took 2 hours.. Spent 25.00 on a "Steak. dinner" the steak was tough as shoe leather and burnt to a crisp!!! The corn actually tasted as if it came straight out the can from Aldi's!! Also the bread was soggy as hell and tasted as if it was cooked in fish water!! The "loaded potato" sucked.. It had big ass pieces of fried bacon onit instead of bacon bits!!! The poatoe itself was small as a little fist!!! It was SIMPLY THE WORST!!! I WILL NEVER SUPPORT THEM AGAIN AND IF YOU ARE SMART AND HUNGRY...THIS IS NOT THE PLACE TO EAT AT!!! TRUTHFULLY VANESSA read more

I order from them in pass and enjoyed there food , these last 2 times I've order I didn't enjoy the food it was nasty. I order A steak taco they messed up my steak taco end up giving me a chicken taco and I ordered a chicken Philly and it was disgusting, so since they messed up my order I called and let them know about the messing up the taco they told me when I come back and I can get a credit for another taco so I went back in and I placed an order for the shrimp Alfredo that was disgusting, I've given them 2 chances by trying something different read more
