Cajun Restaurants near Homewood, IL

“Was recommended this restaurant from a friend. The maple tree and did not disappoint. Made a reservation online easy. Their menu is awesome, simple and delicious. Crab cake was perfect! Our dinner was fantastic. We had trout and shrimp. They have the best banana pudding over crème brûlée. The coffee for an end cap was out of this world good!“

“Food was Excellent and definitely worth the price, however 15% gratuity no matter the party size is unheard of. Wife n I wanted to sit and have some drinks after our meal but we refused because of thr automatic gratuity. Will definitely eat from their again, we will just get ours to go!“

“Great food and fun!“

“115 Bourbon Street is such a fun spot! The place is huge with plenty of space for live music, dancing, and hanging out with friends. The atmosphere is always lively, the drinks are strong, and the food hits the spot—especially the Cajun and Creole options. Staff is friendly and quick even when it’s packed. Whether it’s a concert, fundraiser, or just a night out, this place never disappoints. Definitely one of the best venues on the south side!“

“Today was my first time there. The food is delicious my kids love it but I don’t feel I had the great service. First, we didn’t get the napkins and utensils on time but way after the food got there. A drink spilled on me (our fault) which made me realized there was no napkins provided, by the time we found the lady for napkins I was soaking wet. Then we were about to start eating and my children needed a fork, well no fork was provided. We ordered 3 seafood boils, no utensils for that were provided neither. My husband ordered an extra drink, never was it brought to us. I’m happy my kids enjoyed it, but we were not that pleased as we saw others being treated differently. Not sure if we will be returning.“

“Acclaimed renowned chef Fabio Viviani best known for his Italian and now California wineries (Fabio Viviani Wineries) and his 2008 appearance on the reality television competition series Top Chef where he was voted the "fan favorite" has lent his name and vision to a few new restaurants in the Southlands at the newly opened Wind Creek Chicago Southland Casino on 173rd & Halsted. \n\n“Shuck It” Oyster Bar is a reasonably priced Louisiana Cajun Style restaurant that offers “a curated selection of freshly shucked oysters served with flair, pan roast, live-action kettles, and classic gumbo, accompanied by libations.”\n\nFor starters I suggest a classic Caesar Salad —\nromaine hearts, anchovy, sourdough croutons, horseradish, and a delicious Caesar dressing. The Clam Chowder, New England or Manhattan though my preference is for, and this review is of, the classic New England chowder, was rich, with FRESH oysters clearly made from scratch in-house. The Gulf Oysters on the ½ Shell were similarly FRESH and delicious. Finally the “Prince Edward’s Mussels” are served in a variety of unique styles but again I prefer classic style dishes so I enjoyed the steamed in white wine, garlic and herbs.\n\nThe Gumbo is simply remarkable! Creole stew cooked with andouille sausage and okra. Served with steamed rice is common to the five styles: 1) Poarch Style - Shrimp, crab, lobster; 2) Shrimp; 3) Crab; 4) Lobster; and 5) Chicken varying in price from $30-$20. My version was clearly made to order—classic NOLA style gumbo with lobster as an add in—shrimp, crab, lobster, chicken and andouille sausage. \n\nFinally, you must “experience” the Seafood Étouffée -Cajun stew, shrimp, crab, and lobster served over soft moist white rice.“

“Love Candy’s Place… whenever i want to listen to some good music, eat some food and just have a good time…. i know we’re to go.“

“The award winning food and drinks are delicious!“

“I had such an amazing time at Bea's kitchen for my birthday brunch. There were so many options at the buffet and everything was replenished continuously. The strawberry peach mimosa tower was off the chain, and the DJ was super dope. He gave continuous birthday shout outs, and I even received a complimentary birthday dessert with signs saying happy birthday and birthday baddie. It felt like bottle service without spending $500 dollars. The staff was soo friendly, and I danced the day away. I cannot wait to go back!!!!“

“Places for GOOD genuine southern or Cajun style cooking are becoming rarer around the Chicago area. Dixie Kitchen fits the bill, top to bottom. If I ever feel like Soul Food and cooking at home isn't the order of the day... This place is on my list of go toos.“

“The bartender Bryan (handsome bald white man) was amazing ❤️ I had a great early dinner the music was good and the honey hot wings and buffalo chicken rolls were fresh and flavorful. Strawberry marg was so good I finished before the food came.“
