Filing Alert: Good to Go Jamaican Cuisine Chapter 11

Good to Go Jamaican Cuisine LLC, an Evanston, IL-based Jamaican cuisine restaurant, filed for Chapter 11 protection on Apr. 28 in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division.

The filing appears precipitated by the restaurant's closure following a Nov. 29, 2024 fire and subsequent difficulties securing funds after an insurance claim denial (which the owner is reportedly disputing) and a lack of support from an Evanston city committee for a requested $120,000 repair loan just days before the petition date. The city committee's reluctance was reportedly influenced by a history of missed and late payments on prior city assistance; the restaurant was delinquent on a separate $38,891 loan since April 2024 and had other outstanding city obligations prior to the filing.

The company reports $500 thousand to $1 million in assets and $100 million to $500 million in liabilities. The filing indicates that there will be funds available for distribution to unsecured creditors. The case number is 25-06446.
