Food was so good I had to rate it ???? I got the wing dinner with Jerk sauce and fingerlickin def recommend ❤️
If I could give zero stars I would. It was three of us we arrived at 7pm, we waited about 7 minutes to be seated no one came so we sat down ourselves. We waited about ten minutes before a waitress came to our table. The waiter let us know that it would be an hour wait. We waited an hour and a half, we kindly asked the waiter how much longer the waiter told us thirty more minutes. We ended up leaving, it was only one waiter working and she had a party of 30 to serve in the party room. The bathroom was disgusting and it had no tissue. I will never return to this establishment. Customer service is poor, do better.
once I knew I was going to Chicago, I had to experience DJ Khaled restaurant. it lived up to all of the hype and everything that I thought that would be good about it. The mystery juice in the lobster Alfredo were so good. this was my first time also having a fried and broccoli and I would never look at broccoli the same. it was amazing!
This past weekend my family and I visited this restaurant and here is my experience. The parking lot is busy and very unorganized. Once you enter the restaurant, it is very modern and inviting. There was a table of people already seated with their drinks, but we noticed that no staff was in sight and after 15 minutes of waiting, we sat ourselves. Our waitress finally came out and handed us our menus. It took us about 20 minutes for her to come back for drink orders so we ordered our food as well. The were out of everything we wanted (steak,fountain drinks, grits, etc.) Please keep in mind that the waitress was working by herself and two more tables were seated by this time for a total of four tables and she is by her self. Her name is Naja (I know I misspelled it) and she eventually received help from Nia. Now these two gorgeous young ladies handled this situation and kept a big smile on their faces. I don't know many who could handle this amount of stress and do so with a smile and beautiful demeanor. If it wasn't for Naja, the service probably would have been really bad. So we receive our food. Presentation wise, it was great. Taste, not so great. The chicken was okay at best. It was like they didn't season the flour. The candied yams tasted like they put syrup on them and heated them up out of the can. The fries were over cooked. I also had a slice of caramel cake. Big mistake. The cake was cold, hard and thick. The cake was not caking. Now the mystery drink was on point. Overall, I gave it two stars. Naja and Nia need more help.
If I could give this rating a negative stars it’ll be more sufficient and honest
I order online through DoorDash as the website recommends

I received a time frame for my older to be ready by
Your order from The Licking, 5045 W Madison St, Chicago, IL 60644, USA, is confirmed. Be ready to pick up your order between 5:50 PM - 5:55 PM.
I arrived at The licking after receiving confirmation text that my order was ready at 1750.
I walked into the restaurant to retrieve my order and collected my order and left. It smells delicious therefore I returned to my vehicle to tata te test when I noticed that the shrimp was missing.
I returned to the store with food and explained the situation. I informed I was find with paying the difference for shrimp add on and to sneak it easier I’ll take the shrimp and fish dinner instead and will repost the remaining balance since my food was now cold I inquired on making it fresh and to return my food . The manager with blue hair said it was fine to pay the difference of the food. My food was never rung up and and re-order but I was told otherwise. I stayed there until 1930 (7:30) and never received my food and was constantly told it’s coming up next and they are behind I was number 128 and when I left they were on 161.
Everybody ignored my rants and raved and as proof it shows I never received my corrected food nor the food that was order precisely.
I want a full refund and you can’t always support black on business because they don’t relato care about you I drove all the way from up north to this mediocrity this is unprofessional, unappreciatedx appalling and disrespectful that I did not deserve to experience my business could’ve went somewhere else.
Customer service was good. Byob was a $50 fee. Definitely not worth it. They didn't inform us of the fee and the price wasn't on the menu. The waitress offered/ informed us of it as if it was free since you are bringing your own bottle. The food was good.
I had a great experience here. Our waiter was very professional and prompt with our orders, and it was greatly appreciated. I also love the fact that I could smell bleach due to the constant cleaning as patrons came in and out. So there’s definitely a clean and friendly atmosphere here. Don’t forget to try the mystery drink too, it was delicious ☺️
I was skeptical at first due to the signs all over about the 20% gratuity charge. The server was very lackadaisical and we barely saw her until it was time to collect that money. Food was outstanding tho. Red snapper banged and was a good portion fasho. There is no alcoholic beverages but yal will be okay without it, drink water.
