Cajun Restaurants near Merrionette Park, IL

“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!“

“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!“

“First time here from out of town and had the best bartender named Diamond!! Omg the side car that she made me was the best I ever had!!! Make sure you try the Fried alligator po boy, seafood gumbo, banana pecan cake with ice cream!!! And ask for Diamon!!! Definitely will be back and bringing my friends!“

“Great food and fun!“

“That food was excellent I will be going back“

“My overall experience was fantastic. The music was great, the appetizers were appetizing, and the food was delicious, with generous portion sizes for the price. I will definitely be back.“

“It's in the hood but that just means it's worth the drive. We lived in Chicago for a few years and my MIL was the one who introduced us to this place. Stopped in after my son's dr appointment before heading back home an hour away. It was so worth it. The flavor and the amount alone is worth it. Spicy rice with the blackened chicken is my favvvv.“

“Picked up a catering order yesterday that was phenomenal.“

“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.“

“Best food and very clean! I highly recommend 👍👍👍“

“Tasty food, good service, reasonable prices 😊“

“The food is just so good“

“The food is ALWAYS top tier here. Crab legs be big not scrawny like at them seafood boil places. Right now im trying to have them relinquish me from their shackles because from the crab legs to the craw fish they got me stuck. Food is fresh and sauces are A1. Plus they aren’t too expensive either definitely reasonably priced.“

“The award winning food and drinks are delicious!“

“Great food, not so great service.“

“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 food is very good it will please your taste buds for sure.“

“Delicious“

“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.“

“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!“

“Food is good. Clean environment 💕“
