Simpson and Bonsu also created a photo collage on a few walls featuring vintage pictures of historic Maxwell Street, images of Chicago neighborhoods, and family snapshots. The restaurant holds 33 seats inside and an additional 24 on an indoor-outdoor patio that should debut when the weather eventually warms. Traditionalists needn’t be too concerned: “ is still going to have spiciness, sweetness, and juiciness in every bite,” Bonsu said.Ĭustom neon signs dot the 1,500-square-foot space, and neon big purple letters stress the restaurant’s motto: “Phlavz so good make you wanna smack yo mama.” Black People Eats visited over the weekend and raved about the salmon egg rolls.
The menu includes fried jerk wings, salmon or jerk chicken-laced egg rolls, loaded jerk chicken fries (cilantro, onion, sour cream, jerk sauce), sandwiches, and pastas. “Urban jerk” is a departure from the typical half-chicken-and-sides offerings found at many Jamaican jerk restaurants, said co-owners Phil Simpson and Andrew “Dilla” Bonsu.

The new restaurant also houses a full bar. For the past two years, the owners have run the Phlavz food truck, which will continue to operate. Over the weekend, University Village welcomed the “urban jerk” flavors of Phlavz Bar and Grille, a new restaurant from a pair of South Side natives at 717 W.
