My first time at this location, hate that it's hidden but the food and service was amazing. Felicia the owner made this experience worth returning. I ordered something not to heavy and my wings were cooked to prefection.prefecture.

My guy and I tried the catfish/chicken combo, shrimp/chicken combo and friend green tomatoes. Everything tasted amazing. Amazing customer service from the lady that served us today. Environment very welcoming. It was a few older men sitting inside enjoying their food and watching television, the lady that worked there was also very kind to them as she kept coming to the lobby to check on them.

I swear everytime I've gone into a fish place recently they've all been out of catfish, but luckily not today! This black owned business has above average standing room in the waiting area, two TVs and an ATM with a good amount of seats/benches. Seems like it might've been an old chinese food joint with a few tables, but they opted for a pure takeout experience (which is unfortunately the trend nowadays.) Since it was my first time I thought I'd try both the fish and chicken combo along with the dirty rice. The total came out to be $24 with the wait being about 15 minutes.
After leaving the place and checking the food. I realized that the combo dinner didn't contain a roll and coleslaw like advertised which was kind of disappointing. It did have the fries though. The requested lemon pepper was there, but they also seasoned the chicken/catfish with garlic powder, salt and parsley which is fine. Everything was fried hard, but not dry which creates the perfect pleasurable crunch. The chicken and fish tasted better than a lot of the restaurants in the area with the fish having a lightness to the breading that's sorely missed. Some of the chicken was weirdly tough though as if it was slightly undercooked.
Speaking of misses we have to talk about the dirty rice. Dirty rice is one of those dishes that seems like it either is absolute perfection or an abomination with no in-between. This unfortunately falls into the latter with it not only looking boring with all brown notes, but the initial taste as well as texture being an off putting creamy rancid trip to flavor hell. After a just a few bites my stomach turned which does not bode well for this dish. I have no idea what went wrong here, but it seems like it may have been sitting out too long. Even the smell was a bit rancid. At least it has a good ratio of ground beef to rice which a lot of places skimp on. They also attempted to add in some vegetables like peppers although they are barely noticeable.
Overall Surf's up is a good spot with friendly staff, decent prices, but some issues with quality. My advice is to make sure the cooking temps are correct and consistent. Definitely make sure if food is sitting idle, that it is kept at the mandatory minimum of 140 degrees farenheit to avoid it going rancid so quickly. Also, double check the orders before sending them out or edit the menu if it is outdated.
Vegetarian options: They have coleslaw, rice, fries, etc.

This is definitely a hidden gem ?. Love the shrimp & grits, the grilled shrimp, collard greens, fried green tomatoes and those biscuits was magical ?. They were kind and friendly so customer service was great too. I definitely say this is a go too spot. I would have given them 5 stars but they forgot a coleslaw to one of my order's.
The lady who was working. Just made my day. She was cooking greens, and decided I should try them. lol. She came out brought me a sample of the greens and a couple of fried biscuits. Both were delicious!Haven’t even gotten to my food I ordered yet. But I know it’s going to be hit!
I went to the restaurant as part of my birthday celebration. Loved the cozy atmosphere, courteous and accommodating hostess, the flutist who personally serenaded me. The meal was delicious, the pound cake was scrumptious! I will be back!
