Surf's Up Old Town

Black-Owned Surf’s Up Hopes to Shatter Expectations on the North Side - Eater Chicago

"Surf’s Up is a Black-owned casual seafood mini-chain that opened its first location in 2012 in suburban Hillside. The business has expanded to 10 locations, primarily on the South Side, and has recently opened its first North Side location in Old Town. The restaurant offers specialties such as Chicago-style rib tips, fried lobster, fried green tomatoes, and chicken wings smothered in Hennessy sauce. The owners, Vanetta Roy and her brother and sister-in-law, Eric and Denise Roy, are planning further expansions both locally and nationally." - Ashok Selvam
