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!
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😀
WARNING! Their Cajun Shrimp and Cheesy Grits with Andouille sausage are unforgettable and extremely addictive!!!! Practically every time I order 1 entree, I end up getting 2 more to go......phenomenal! The hand crafted cocktails / libations are irresistible and the service is up to par.
Nice place to get a bite to eat. It's a little overrated, and they are heavy-handed in the spices in their food. Outdoor patio and inside dining.
We had such a great time on Saint Paddy’s day, and the staff was amazing and the crab and crawfish gumbo and potato and leek soup were so good. It’s a very clean establishment and definitely a bit classier than some of the other “Irish” bars in the area.
Had the "Blackened" wings that looked orange, not Blackened, they tasted off. Next up had the Jambalaya, nothing to write home about, mostly rice. Buddy of mine had a burger he said was great and it looked good. Server was friendly and courteous. Keep expectations low, for some reason I remember this place being better.
I've already reviewed their burgers. Which were just simple and quality burgers.in the best way. But now I need them to make birria style Tacos with their chicken and sausage gumbo please and thank you
I came here on a Wednesday Afternoon. It wasnât busy. The first thing I notice was the beautiful decor. I love the clean aesthetics the restaurant is going for. There is a clear window were you can see the kitchen and the cooks prep and cook the fo

Small but cozy place I stopped by for dinner with a friend We were seated promptly and given menus. We both got the margarita on the rocks. They had three other options, but they were all frozen. I would have liked to have more non frozen opinions, b
Great thin crust sausage/pepperoni pizza! Jalapeno poppers were also tasty and piping hot! Cozy bar to watch the Northwestern football game on a chill Saturday afternoon.
We love Old School Tavern for the delicious food, neighborhood-feel atmosphere, and excellent service. Highly recommend the lake perch meal; it's outstanding. Save room for dessert, too, because the donut holes are delish! I'm personally not a meat e
My wife and I stopped in for burgers. Nothing has changed. I used to go there with my dad back in 1966 thru 1969. We walked up the street from where we lived to get burgers every Friday Night. Glad it has not changed. Brought back wonderful memories.
Amazing dive bar thatâs treats out of tourers like family. Great drink prices and legit patrons who will give you a local experience. Will definitely make a trip back
I went Saturday evening to pick up my drinks. They were hot and ready. The staff was pleasant and helpful. The store was clean and open. I ordered on the app. It wasn't too busy. Easy pick up. Well versed on the menu. Great service.
