Inside of the restaurant
Teddy D.

When you walk through the door it's like you've been transported back in time in a good way, it has a real old school vibe to it. Can't say the food was life changing or anything like that but it was very good. My milkshake even came in a metal cup so I could pour the rest into my glass. If you're looking for really good burgers and shakes with great service and a touch of nostalgia then this is your spot.

Loved the vibes of the place as it harkens back to 40 years ago when the chains did not dominate. Service was spotty as they appeared to be too busy talking to come take our order, but that happens when the restaurant is not that busy. Food was extremely basic but good but had more of a GFS or Sysco vibe than homemade. Would go back, but would be a little more direct on what I would want when ordering.

My sister and I went for an old fashioned burger...they did NOT disappoint! Half pounder I knew I couldn't eat it all so I cut it in half for later, it was delicious and the pickles were fresh! Onion rings were good too!

Had lunch few time there, food was really good, only down fall is the parking around lunch timeread more

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?

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.

I went here for pickup, and I got the rib tips with fries. Those ribs were the most tender rib tips…read moreI've had in my life! They were super tender. The fries were good as well. 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. I asked for mixed sauce, and my food was not spicy at all. That's my only complaint. My food was ready quickly, and I didn't have to wait.

Surf's Up Beverly - Chicken and Catfish combo

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.

The staff was wonderful, friendly and helpful, and the food was good hot and fresh and packaged up…read morewith care not just thrown in a container and bagged. Will definitely go back!
