7.6
A late-hours surf-and-turf counter where the strongest play is simple: pick one premium protein lane and keep the add-ons minimal so everything stays hot and direct. It’s a neighborhood stop for seafood-and-steak cravings rather than a long, paced meal.

Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking along Stony Island Ave and nearby side streets; availability improves later at night, can be tight during peak evening hours.
Dress code: Casual—jeans and hoodies are common; no need to dress up.
Noise level: Moderate to loud—more of a counter-and-go energy than a quiet sit-down.
Weekend wait: 15–30 minutes during peak late-night rush, faster if ordering to-go.
Weekday lunch: Typically no wait or very short waits; this is more of an evening-focused stop.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Very limited—mostly sides; not a strong vegetarian destination.
Vegan options: No dedicated vegan options beyond basic sides.
Gluten-free options: Protein-forward dishes can work, but cross-contact is likely; best to ask and keep orders simple.
Best For
Better for: Late-night surf-and-turf cravings, big proteins, and fast satisfaction without ceremony.
Skip if: You want a true fine-dining pace, polished service, or strong vegetarian and ambiance-driven experiences.
