173 Surf & Turf | Seafood Soulfood Restaurant

Surf and Turf – Where Jamaica Meets the Deep South on a Plate Let me be real with you—Surf and Turf in Connecticut might just be one of the most underrated food gems in the entire Northeast. I walked in expecting good food. What I got was a cultural experience, Southern nostalgia, and Jamaican soul all in one visit. Let’s start with the fried okra. Yes, fried okra—in Connecticut. I dare you to name another place in this whole state serving it. You can’t. Heck, I just came back from Alabama—home of fried okra royalty—and let me tell you: Surf and Turf’s fried okra could stand toe-to-toe with the best of the South. Crispy outside, tender inside, not greasy, and seasoned just right. This isn’t some novelty side dish; this is Southern legacy on a plate. Then came the pink lemonade, and my g

I drove all the way from New Britain, Connecticut to try their food. I had seen a video on instagram and had to give them a try. The food is amazing, the owner was nice and very helpful. She’s wasn’t like alot of business owners trying to rob you for your money. She explained how I can get a bang for my buck. That’s very rare, not many owner do that. The cooks in the back do an outstanding job. The portions are huge. I’ll definitely be back again.

This place is terrible from the food to the customer service if I can give zero stars I would. Let me start with the food; I done gave this place multiple chances trying to support my own kind; ordered the Mac and cheese it was terrible way too cheesy and no seasoning; they took 15 minutes just to give me a side order of nasty Mac and cheese. The wings are horrible, they were burnt with no flavor, not as described at all. Yams were super sweet and undercooked. The shrimp were burnt! I can keep going about the nasty food but let’s get to the customer service. This 12 year old boy was the cashier, gave me my food and rudely said “Here!” As if he was doing me a favor, I’m old enough to be his grandfather! Somebody needs to teach him manners, customer service and respect! The cook just stares

the food was amazing! we had the shrimp & fries platter, yams, and spicy wings. you feel the love being put into this food! Let me tell you… the banana pudding will have your eyes rolling off the first bite, omg 🤤 thank you for the hospitality and making the wings catered for my sister & her tastebuds. She said the wings were just right, spicy but the kind that leaves you wanting more!

It did not give what needed to be gave! I ordered a fish plate And got a school lunch plate of fish. the rice was over cooked, gummy, clumped together, it tasted stale, the greens were a solid 6.5 out of 10 DECENT. The rest of the plate (fish, CANdied yams, yellow rice 3/10) I also ordered wings…. The food was so underwhelming, I didn’t even eat the wings. I think when it comes to the food the QUALITY can surely be improved. This was a 35$ dollar plate . Not worth it. I’ve paid more for actual good food elsewhere and was satisfied. Not here tho UPDATE: I ate the wings yall. They was fire! I added another star to my review! The wings were the right texture, and taste. Will order the wings again. Not the surf just the turf
