How Highly Flavored Got Its Name

Highly Flavored Chicago City Grill started with a simple idea: cook with soul, serve with pride, and never apologize for big flavor.

All I can say…Is I had to call the restaurant back after taking a few bites, ended up speaking to the owner after asking for the cook/chef. I had to let them know, although this was a doordash order This Jerk, Shrimp and Orange chicken fried rice with broccoli and garlic bread was absolutely 🔥🔥🔥

Definitely worth the hour drive from the Northside. I called in a large hour and when I arrived the customer service was amazing, the wait was very short for my order, everything was fresh & hot. The young lady who took my phone order got everything correct and in person her customer service 10/10.
