Down in the delta was good. Flavourful. Shrimp cooked perfectly. Catfish was ok.

Cognac honey bbw wings were tasty but didn't taste Cognac.

Soul sister drink was exquisite

The table enjoyed the honey fried chicken and the salmon.“

“I enjoyed it very much. Would have loved more options to be included without having to pay extra for everything but overall the food was delicious. I’m fulfilled. I actually stumbled upon this place, I was headed to another seafood place but it was too far, looked up near me and here this was. Came with complementary ice cream.“

“The seafood boil is great. The Cajun seasoning is delicious. Nice selection of teas and Boba. BYOB makes it cost effective“

“I just walked out of the door and am so glad that God sent us there. We tried 3 places prior to walking in CheSa’s doors which was a definite blessing. We had the catfish skillet, bourbon peach cobbler franchise toast, chicken sausage and scrabbles eggs w/cheese washed down with a breakfast martini. Absolutely delicious and with the owner/chef being very warm w/great hospitality. We’re definitely going back.“

“Very nice place to take the family or date. Food and drinks was very good! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I'm kicking myself for having slept on this place for too long. I've been coming in semi-regularly for the last few months for coffee, bagels, and sometimes donuts before my morning commute. Always delicious, staff is always friendly, and I enjoy the atmosphere. I recommend bringing your own mug if you're getting coffee to-go because they're actively trying to minimize waste. Love that this place is in my neighborhood.“

“The food was delicious, hot and fast“

“Such great service (Alex) and food! Fantastic time and we were a large group.“

“Picked up a catering order yesterday that was phenomenal.“

“YOOOO the gilty pig is insane! They have "popped up" at my farm a few times now, and each time I am amazed by the flavors and complexity they bring to "simple dishes". They take a brat and turn it into a full asian inspired meal. Now if the food wasnt enough, this truck could not be run by two better people. They deserve all of the awesome things that are coming their way. Keep killin it, guys!“

“Was driving past and saw a Jamaican flag in the window so I turned around. Thank God I did the food is so good ya'll I had the lamb, spinach and mashed potatoes. I'm still outside the restaurant in my car posting this cause the food is gone already!! An amazing Shout out to the owner miss tanya and her staff a wealth of knowledge a true blessing. Also thank you to Mario from Goebbarts farms for serenading me with live music while I waited!!“

“The food is just so good“

“So glad I noticed it walking by and came back with my husband for dinner. The menu has lots of choices but we were only two so will have to check out different options next time. We each had dinners, he choosing 1/2 baby back ribs, Mac and cheese, cornbread. I had 1/2 slab brisket, Mac and cheese and collard greens. Side portions were generous and the collard greens were fantastic! Mac and cheese was terrific and the meats were just perfect. Service was great and price was just as great. Washed it all down with classic Margaritas. Great addition to neighborhood in same spot Fat Willy’s left when closed for good.“

“The crab & shrimp boil bag was good, it’s nice they have a variety is spice levels and sauces. However we didn’t receive the sides we ordered. The waiter was happy to remove them from the bill, but still a little disappointing to not receive the items. Our waiter was friendly and nice but they seemed a little understaffed.

Parking: Free parking lot across the street at Jewel Osco/Lowes & metered parking along Milwaukee“

“A must visit!! The food was amazing. I had the fried pork with black beans and white rice. The tastiest white rice. Sister had stewed chicken with rice& beans, again delicious. Price was comparable to Portion size. Perfect meal. Looking forward to tasting the black rice next time.“
