Maple Tree Inn

The 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

Love 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!

Shrimp 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 .

Addicted 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 ☺️

Seafood 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!

Just tried the seafood gumbo and it was delicious. The Stiegl grapefruit radler was a refreshing drink for a Sunday.

It was my first time there and I enjoyed it. I will return.
