Smokkee SingletonOctober 9, 2013One of my favorite restaurants on the near north side of Chicago. You're here for the gumbo probably but you need to try the sausage Po'boy (with shrimp too if you're like me) or the Cajun crab cakes.
Diana DayJune 15, 201310years since my first visit and I'm still coming back for the gumbo and the chicory coffee creme brûlée!! My favorite dessert!!
Becky McConnellJune 16, 2010Any Heaven on Seven location is amazing. They have great food, the portions are generous, to say the least and it's a very comfortable atmosphere. I would recommend the Corn Blasters (appetizer).
Josh TamlinMay 6, 2013Blue plate special is the best food deal in town. From 11-4 it is $13 for the special of the day, gumbo/salad, drink, and a dessert.
HY ConnectJuly 10, 2012Awesome and authentic Cajun food. For extra fun, go during Mardi Gras. Be sure to get the gumbo. And try some of their hot sauces!
If you see someone order salad instead of gumbo, then punch them in the face. Better yet, if you see someone order the gumbo, then punch them in the face and steal their gumbo.
Crain's Chicago BusinessFebruary 24, 2012Shrimp is a mainstay here, notably in a fully loaded po' boy ($13.95). Soaked in hot sauce, lightly floured and fried, the crustaceans are garnished to a T. Read more
Jowan LewisJuly 18, 2013Great food and excellent service:-) OH and if you don't like spice its not for you.
- Crain's Chicago BusinessFebruary 16, 2011This is chili for the purist — Texas-style, which means no beans; it's all about the meat. Dubbed "Texas Roadhouse," it's dense and savory with shredded pork and shredded and ground beef. Read more
Sonia BagweDecember 16, 2012Thee yummiest gumbo, jalapeno corn blasters, and sweet potato polenta!!! You must try all three!- Sonia BagweDecember 16, 2012Thee yummiest gumbo, jalapeno corn blasters, and sweet potato polenta! You must try all three!
Jeanette RiveraDecember 3, 2011Food was great , shrimp fried green tomatoes is a must! As well as the gumbo and jambalaya great atmosphere nice and cozy
ISC ChicagoJanuary 4, 2015The "hot as a mutha" didn't do it. Is it just me? Maybe it's time to switch out the habanero peppers and go for the gold. Carolina Reaper, anyone?
Emily RisherAugust 10, 2014Just get a big bowl of gumbo and a side of slaw. It's really all you need.
Kris RzepkowskiDecember 13, 2011I always have the sweet potato polenta and andouille sausage appetizer, gumbo, and a crawfish po boy. Awesome!!!
Yvonne JacksonJune 29, 2013The absolute BEST gumbo ever!!! The catfish nuggets and fried crawfish are very delectable!
LiquiddagOctober 22, 2012Cajun cooking, Midwest pricing. Fried green tomatoes with shrimp and red bean soup. Amazing.
Kingsley YoungerSeptember 10, 2014Featured in a Heat Seekers season 1 episode. The 2nd restaurant in the TV show.- ISC ChicagoJanuary 23, 2013Hot as a Mutha: you need to sign a waiver! It's actually really good, quite spicy but flavorful; my scalp didn't tingle, tho
TazJuly 27, 2012Whatever you order be sure to get the Gumbo and experiment with the various hot sauces
Lance FlintApril 12, 2014Never sit at the bar at dinner time. The bartender will not even look your way until he or she is done with the other patrons drinks. Service is quick once order is placed but refills are tough
Just say "Jimmy Feed Me!" best deal in the city. Seven couses for about $35.00. The gumbo and turtle soup (don't forget the sherry) are second to none!
Andrew KlimaJune 3, 2012Best bloody Mary! Also the banana fosters French toast with pecans is killer
The Hurricane here is great! Not EXACTLY like at Pat O'Brien's, but a great substitute.
Riley LynchApril 21, 2013Try the Angry Chicken Po Boy - #Creole #Cajun #Chicken #Sandwich #PoBoy #Spicy
Brian SJune 2, 2010Gumbo was amazing. Had a huge family style smorgasbord for a friend's birthday party, everything I ate here was phenomenal.- Riley LynchApril 21, 2013Try the Fried Shrimp Po' Boy - #Creole #Sandwich #FriedShrimp #Shrimp #Coleslaw
Christopher KlausOctober 26, 2011Wonderful for people that love spicy food. That said, they also make wonderful chicken.
The Jambalaya is so good.. paired with a cup of gumbo, you'll definitely be full!!!
Kate PanceroJanuary 12, 2012Find Jason the bartender. His Manhattan is to die for! Oh, and get the gumbo!
Matt KaneAugust 10, 2012Had the Voodoo Shrimp Linguini - An absolute DISASTER & should be avoided at all costs! It's soggy linguini, w/ overcooked shrimp smothered in a Chinese style sweet & sour sauce.

"The jerk chicken is so many things: Spicy, soothing, flavorful and delicious. Did I mention it's spicy? You'll want the water pitcher to stay full. Cocktails are awesome. Cocoa bread too. Go here."
