When you hear the name Shanahan's, one would think that this is an Irish pub, but it's actually touted as a creole restaurant. I have been to this restaurant in Forest Park, Illinois many times, and have mixed feelings about it. Oftentimes, the food is delicious but there have been other times when I found certain dishes to be inconsistent; such as the Seafood gumbo (sometimes too salty but other times decent). On the other hand, the Shrimp & Grits, the Fried Calamari and the hurricane drinks are consistently delicious. Dress is casual and food prices are moderate and a good value for the amount of food served. The staff is friendly and attentive. The locals love this place (which sometimes causes a noisy atmosphere) so get there early to avoid the crowds, as well as to secure on-street parking.

Brunch was very good. Quiet, and great service.Wheelchair accessibility: Easy entrance, no stairs, and large handicapped bathroom that had handrail and plenty of room for my walker.

I have been to New Orleans and tasted different Gumbo recipes and I would say their gumbo is top . I also tried their wings and shrimp sliders which were really good too?

A taste of Louisiana Creole in Forest Park, Illinois. We were not disappointed!Starters: My husband and I both tried the gumbo, we had the chicken and the shrimp. We couldn’t decide which one was better because they both were so rich and flavorful we wanted seconds.Drinks: We tried the Hurricane it was too sweet.Main Entree: I ordered the chicken and andouille sausage jambalaya and my husband ordered the shrimp pontchartrain. The food was great, every bite was full of Louisianas creole right at home. Note: The jambalaya is very spicy! The shrimp pontchartrain was amazing I will definitely get that entree next time.Atmosphere: cute and cozy, we went on a Sunday early afternoon, not much of a crowd and were okay with that. Servers were attentive and friendly. They have a little store that sells chocolates and wine and we definitely took a bottle of their famous leprechauns fury hot sauce! I highly recommend them and I cannot wait to return.

This is a semi OK place to visit food is average nothing so great.Best to ask about their special and drink special.Pattie melt was good their rice is a little bit of an exaggeration of Creole style. It was too spicey and hot to eat and very gritty. Ask for a sample or substitute. I guarantee you that it is bland, hot, gritty, and gross. Potato chips are not as stated on the menu they are not homemade and are very stale.Don't get me started on the shrimp.Is not a bad place to stop at, but it's not a great place either!
