My wife and I had high hopes for this place, hoping to pick up a nice lunch after visiting Garfield o Conservatory. Placed an order and app said order would be ready by 12:15. Showed up about 12:20 but order not done and kitchen staff looked to be disorganized. They were polite and helpful, however.
Order was finally ready about 12:30 p.m. and we went home to eat as there is no onsite seating. Her catfish was “better than okay” but too salty and she wondered why restaurant didn’t include some kind of dipping sauce—red or tartar—for her fish.
I had the jambalaya. It had a nice, piquant bite but was a bit of a salt bomb. Nothing to write home about.

Parking is easy and abundant since they are across the street from Garfield Park.
Truly a gem we are excited to tell our friends about. We can't wait to come...

My food order was very very very BAD. My total was almost $50, it was late and incorrect. Ordered macaroni and yams I got string beans, half of jerk chicken was small 3pieces leg, back. I really want my money back I can’t even eat this! I waited a long time for an incorrect, sloppy, meat very salty, sides very bland. Rib tips taste like salty hard chicken/ turkey tips. I’m am beyond upset… look at these tacos covered in something. Everything tastes old and warmed up. HORRIBLE threw the whole thing...
