I just had to visit Surf's UP - Maywood after discovering its collaboration with Good2Go Veggie…read morewhich I have tasted at Vegandale, a vegan food and drink festival. Surf's Up serves a Good2Go product on their menu being the Shock N' Shrimp. When I discovered that, I just had to visit because since Vegandale I have been on the lookout for Shock N' Shrimp throughout Chicago. As a vegetarian, I am always on the hunt for plant-based foods. So, I chose and made my way to Surf's UP which sits within a short distance of the hospital I work at in Maywood. I ended up ordering their 8 Pieces Shock N' Shrimp which came with Fries, figuring that it would fill me up rather than the 3 Pieces Shock N' Shrimp. I always love ordering online via yelp because it is convenient! Most of the time my orders are completed upon my arrival or near complete. I encountered the issue of my order not going through via Grubhub, resulting in me having to call Grubhub to cancel. All went well with that process, and I was refunded in a timely manner by Grubhub. And at the time, the employee was patient, even when receiving the call from Grubhub. Since I was already onsite, I resumed the ordering process after the employee got off of the phone with Grubhub because I just had to have the Shock N' Shrimp. And no more than 10 minutes from the time I placed my order with the employee, he completed it, and I was well on my way. As for my food, the Shock N' Shrimp tasted wonderful! To complement the taste, I was given barbecue dipping sauce with them which I absolutely loved. And I just cannot go without mentioning the Fries which were not too overly seasoned. I enjoyed the Fries equally as I did the Shock N' Shrimp. With there being other items on the menu that I would love to try, I am very well open to visiting and ordering from Surf's UP - Maywood, or any other Surf's UP location again. And with that being said, I share my endorsement of Surf's UP with you all. Ambiance: 3 1/2 | Service: 4 | Food: 4 Recommendations: Vegan Chunky Chili, Lar-Bear's Beyond Meat Bowl, Vegetarian Bowl, Anthony's Beyond Meat Burger with Fries, Vegan Shock N' Shrimp, Shock 'N Shrimp Tacos, Cheese Garlic Corn Bread Muffin, Fried Biscuits, or any of the Sides. ~ Oh darling, let's be adventurers ~ Thomas G

When I hear "your order will be ready in 15mins" I already know that it's being made to order..and guess what i like that! I dined in and grabbed a window seat for my lunch, the seating was decent, the music was soothing as I sat and destroyed my lunch! I am not sure why they serve the sauce (rhetorically speaking) because my shrimp were cooked to perfection and the wings were like being at a family member's house. M The owner was on his way in with supplies, and greeted me as he was completing his task. The team member has always been pleasant, she is a staple there whenever i visit. Ok, my review is done, I've received my nourishment for the day and now back to serve the community. Enjoy, be safe and Make It happen D

I ordered the catfish dinner with spaghetti and mixed greens for my sides. I also ordered black-eyed peas and cornbread. I would knock a point off on the catfish steaks for being small. However, they were full of enough flavor that I didn't put hot sauce on them. Loved the spaghetti. And the greens with smoked turkey were also pretty good. The black-eyed peas with the cornbread were the winners. The smoked meat in the peas was a plus. I'm a fan for establishments with pleasant service and they score high here. Add to that tasty food and I'll keep going back. There are several other menu items I want to try.

The meal started with complimentary chips and salsa. I ordered a mezcal margarita (fruta picanta) and my friend got a mango cocktail (mangasa). I liked mine a lot, my friend didn't care for the tajin rim on hers, and the waiter offered to replace it, but she stuck with it and liked it in the end. There were so many great sounding things on the menu, with gluten free and vegetarian options. We ended up splitting the calabaza- an acorn squash stuffed with mushroom risotto and also the wild mushroom tostada. The calabaza was great for winter, warm and filling. The tostada was lighter but really delicious, it was probably my favorite of the two. It was a great dinner, that I would definitely visit again if I'm back in town.

For our entrees we tried the Barbacoa Tacos and Blackened Fish(Tilapia) tacos. Both entrees were 21.00 for 3 tacos but no rice or beans on the side so a little pricey in my opinion. Street parking is a challenge but they do offer valet for 5.00. They have a fantastic patio that is open in the summer so we will definitely be back to enjoy a few cocktails and Latin American eats.

The fries taste like something out of a bag, which is fine, but I wouldn't get them again. The jerk taco was GOOD! There was a lot of food on there as well, so getting extra shells is ideal.

I picked up my food to go - so I wasn't able to see what others have mentioned about their masks and coughing habits, but stay safe!
