Takeout only? No problem. Highly Flavored was worth the trip. The catfish and shrimp combo with the Halsted sauce is going to see me again real soon. 🏃🏾♀️💨 #blackowned #highlyflavored #southsidechicago #blackownedrestaurants #fishandshrimp #takeoutfood #takeout #calumetcity #chicagorestaurants #chicagofood

I literally just left there with my food- which was so hot, I couldn't sit it on my lap! So it was definitely made fresh. The customer service is top tier! Welcoming, friendly, and helpful! Again, I have to say that the young lady who took our order was so helpful and had so much patience with me- I couldn't make up my mind-I truly appreciate that. We ordered the jerk chicken fried rice and the jerk rolls. OMG that jerk fried rice! When I opened the box I was immediately overwhelmed with how much food was stuffed in that box. I said, " I'm going to be eating this for three days." It was so flavorful- perfectly seasoned-the chicken was tender. I wish there was more broccoli but that's not a complaint at all. TEN out of TEN! Unfortunately, I wasn't satisfied with the jerk rolls. They had great flavor but egg rolls should have a crunch and they didn't. Kind of chewy. Nevertheless I recommend Highy Flavored and I'm going back!

I'm writing this review because I love to support Black owned businesses whenever I can, and hope that leaving reviews helps to address customers concerns and helps to make the establishment a better and more successful business. With that being said, today was my first time trying this restaurant as I have heard so many good things about it and I was very excited to try them out. I ordered the Hot honey Chicken sandwich. So first, the menu does not indicate that the sandwich comes with onions on the online menu or in store, and had it said that I would have firmly asked for NO onions. I don't like the smell, much less the taste of onions. However, upon receiving my order it had a large amount of onions on the sandwich. I was too far to turn around, so I just picked them off, but the presence of them alone already altered the taste of the sandwich for me. The reviews I have read in the past states that food is made to order so expect a wait time around 25-30 mins, which I'm all for because I love that restaurants serve you your food fresh. My order took 11 minutes, so I don't know if that meant my food was not made to order, or if what I specifically ordered just doesn't take as long. That I'm a little unsure about. With that I will say, the food was not cold, but it was not hot either. Also, I personally am not a "spicy" girlie so I love to have another flavor to help balance out the heat. With that being said, the sandwich was EXTREMELY sweet. No "hot" to the "hot honey" at all. I would describe the sauce as having a sweet syrup like consistency. By the time I was able to start eating the sandwich, the sauce had completely drenched the bottom bun making it soggy and basically fell apart when trying to eat it. The chicken itself was seasoned well, but that all got lost by the amount of sauce that it was covered in. I will say, the pickles are what made the sandwich. They really help to break up some of the sweetness from the sauce, with a nice crunch. Now as far as customer service, I have zero complaints. The staff was very nice and efficient. They were not rude at all, and very helpful. I wish the efficiency in the customer matched what I was served today. All in all, I do appreciate the business, and I like the variety on the menu and the fact they sell brunch items during all business hours. I would like to give this place another visit in the future, but I hope that I have a much better experience when it comes to the quality of the food.

TikTok sent me here overall the flavoring of the food is undeniably amazing however the freshness wasn’t the best I did a call in order the lady who took my order customer service was great told me to give them 10-15mins I live 10 mins away wen I arrived my order was not yet completed in which I didn’t mind the wait because now my food should be extra hot wen I got received it 10 to 15 mins rolled over into abt a 30min wait ok coo’ finally receiving my food wen I got home I was expecting it to be hot not warm I could tell wat ordered the food was made in by the freshness jerk egg rolls was fye despite that they were cooked first I could tell how the cheese had settled in but it was my favorite smash burger lacked some seasoning lamb chops were small but seasoning was on point the expectation of how my I wanted my burger to taste wasn’t a fan of the fried rice corn ribs was packed with flavor jus wish it was hot overall I probably would come back for quick meals they seem to be a 2 person staff which probably cause such a long wait time & the efficiency of the freshness

Heard about this joint on social media and figured I pop in to see what's good. I started with jerk chicken egg rolls and these bad boys were good and the red dipping sauce idk what is but it's a banger. 8.4 Next, I tried the salmon burger which was a fried salmon pattie w/ typical topping plus bacon. I really tried to like the sandwich but it was missing something (maybe more sauce 🤷🏾♂️). The pattie was seasoned decently...just everything didn't mesh well together for me. 6.9. Lastly, I got the chicken and churro and this was solid fr. Wish the chicken had more red sauce that was on it ...like on the side or something. The chicken was good pretty decent size pieces too but that churro oh boy was sweet, crunchy, and soaked up all that red sauce which made this meal a 9.1. Overall this Black-owned spot is worth the trip so definitely give them a try.

We had the jerk chicken rollz, salmon plate combo with broccoli and asparagus, lamb chop plate with broccoli and alfredo mac, and turkey wing. It was all so delicious! Everything was full of flavor, the turkey wing was HUGE and crispy, could not put it down! The lamb chop was well seasoned and tender, smackin! It was my favorite. The alfredo mac had a distinct alfredo flavor that was a pleasure to taste. The jerk rollz came with a pineapple sauce, it was sweet, so I didn’t care for it but I get they were going for a Caribbean vibe so I see the vision, just not for me. The serving sides are huge and we have leftovers. Everyone enjoyed the food and we look forward to going back, my compliments to the chef!
