- AArielChicago / Illinois •4 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoI’ve wanted to go to this place since I’ve always saw the food on TikTok and wanted to go and try it. I ordered the Jerk Turkey Tips with Mac and cheese and cabbage and my brother got the same thing but instead of cabbage, he got the yams. We had every intention on taking pictures of the food but the camera didn’t make it because we ate everything so FAST! Everything had full flavor. The jerk turkey tips had the perfect amount of spice. Everything thing was made like someone’s grandma was in the kitchen. It gave very much comfort food vibes. We also had margaritas. We went at 6:30 on a Wednesday and it was happy hour so we lucked out since they were half off. I got the blackberry one and he got the strawberry one. They were made very well. Our server was very nice and professional. Her name was Carly. She made sure to check on us throughout our time there. My bill was only around $95.00 because gratuity is already included but I still tipped anyways since it was a good first experience there! I will be going back.More infoThe L StationPrice: Expensive• Soul food• River North (Chicago)•3.9
