Came in for a bite before seeing a show at the Auditorium nearby. Food was superb and huge portion! The jerk sauce on the Italian Beef was perfect to warm up on a cold day! I liked all the Valentine's Day decorations inside too!

A hidden gem in the heart of the loop with my unique decor, friendly staff, great service and delicious cuisine. I always get the chicken wings, which are delicious but the side of dirty rice is amazing!

“Had a great first experience here.”
Had a great first experience here! My boyfriend and I sometimes question food places with such good ratings. The atmosphere is great, good music and immaculate vibes. The food was seasoned to a TEA. The service was great. No complaints here. We will definitely be back. Worth every cent.

“Great chill spot for food.”
Great chill spot for food. Whatever you want late night or a quick stop before catching the train. Happy hour is legit for food or drinks. This is going to be the late night spot for this epic Halloween weekend. Come on in and show some love. We're dealing with some crazy stuff as people in this great city let's remain together and keep the Chi-vibes going. Much respect S2 Ty for showing love. Picture is the quesadilla Drinks are a local spot special long island ice tea and it's fire. 🔥
