Time Out ChicagoAugust 2, 2014The menu at this Blue Island spot reads like an eclectic tribute to Southern, Cajun and Creole cooking, and the kitchen consistently nails the classics (gumbo, fried green tomatoes, shrimp Creole). Read more
Diane JacobsonAugust 3, 2014Love Maple Tree Inn for many reasons; the food is the first one, but the old vibe atmosphere, too. This is a place you talk about long after you have finished licking your fingers!- DA MAYORApril 7, 2017Shrimp and grits are amazing! Entire menu is terrific. Katie and Erich have done a great job. Beer list is always rotating and on point. Emily is terrific and makes wonderful signature cocktails.
Mames RyanAugust 1, 2013Addicted to Oysters Rockerfeller. Best ever! Hickory Bbq shrimp deliciousness Emily coolest bartender for cocktailery or craft beers Bands like Leadfoot and The Giblin sisters--Nirvana.
Tom is an awesome waiter with good recommendations, a great memory and great personality. Request him ☺️
Augie AugustynekMay 14, 2018Seafood gumbo, jambalaya, great craft beer selection, and Emily is quite the mixologist.
Best damn beer bar on the south side and burbs that luckily also serves excellent cajun food. 25 taps, a few excellent bottles, and not a Lite to be found. Many excellent Belgian discoveries!
Eric SmithJune 21, 2015Just tried the seafood gumbo and it was delicious. The Stiegl grapefruit radler was a refreshing drink for a Sunday.
Robert SzaboFebruary 11, 2016Great Food and drinks one of there bartenders won a award for her signature drink she makes. Food was outstanding!!!!
EricDecember 27, 2012Awesome beer selection. The dry rub short ribs are amazing, and the hot BBQ sauce delivers. This place is truly a hidden gem.
