1st time here…read more Extremely POOR first impression ! Will NEVER return. Entryway has spray foam around door trim that looks like a blind man did the repair work. Entry door glass was filthy with smudges and fingerprints and appeared to not be washed in quite some time. Same with the windows that connected to the Mall hallway. Bar area was closed for seating and I had to be seated elsewhere in the restaurant. You Automatically get charged an 18% tip on your bill which I didn't like. You may or may not get a good server & service. Ordered the Calamari Appetizer and it was FAIR at best... I also ordered the Headless Shrimp Boil with the House Special Sauce (which apparently is a combo of the Garlic Butter and Lemon Pepper) with Medium Heat... Was pleasantly surprised with the Shrimp Boil and consider that the highlight to my meal. They definitely could use new menu's as the one I received was all battered and peeling apart on all 4 corners. Pics are attached...

Unfortunately this place fell flat for me. We took a trip during the week after someone recommended…read moreit and I'm not sure we'll be back for anything other than the drinks, the plantains and the sautéed crab appetizer. The coconut curry shrimp lacked the depth and really any flavor you'd expect for something curried, the jerk wings lacked that quintessential smoke flavor and smell and at opening when we went they said we're out of rice and peas and substituted it for overcooked jasmine rice and the pineapple upside down cake was also unavailable. Again, maybe a place for appetizers and drinks only.

Unfortunately, I ate my Fried Green Tomatoes before I could take a photo. The breading was just enough not to outweigh the tomato. The sauce that comes with it is "fire". I will remember this order so I can have it on repeat. I am glad Noone is home, so I won't have to share. Keep serving everything up like this and you will continue to prosper. Thank you

We stopped at Maple Tree Inn for a pre-concert dinner, and I found myself asking: why did I wait so…read morelong to come back? My last visit was when they were still on Old Western Ave in Blue Island--way overdue for a return. Let's start with the food--absolutely delicious. The three of us kicked things off with the Cast Iron Cornbread, and trust me, don't skip it. Perfectly done and a great start to the meal. For mains, we went with the Pitmaster's N'awlins Gumbo, Hickory Buttered BBQ Shrimp, and Burnt Ends. Every dish was spot on--flavorful, well-executed, and clearly made with care. The restaurant itself is pristine--clean, polished, and classy without feeling stuffy. Service was just as strong. Our server, Nick, was attentive, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. Safe to say, it will NOT be another 30 years before my next visit. Highly recommend.

The original location of Maple Tree Inn was located in Blue Island. This location was unfortunately…read moredestroyed in 2018 by a fire. My coworkers and I would go to the old location from time to time. Their new location opened in 2019, but this is the first time that I got to check it out. The restaurant is gorgeous! One thing that I noticed was all staff that I encountered generally looked happy. The host was super friendly and offered vegan or gluten free menus if we needed. The person that seated us also was running food and ensuring tables were kept clean. Since it had been so long since I dined here, the menu appeared smaller. I appreciated that our server Adam explained some of his favorites. The cocktail that I got was excellent. The cornbread appetizer was huge. I went with the gumbo and it was full of meat pieces. It was really flavorful. Adam was super friendly and made us feel welcome. Parking lot is tight, but they also offer valet. I highly recommend this spot if you are looking for some Louisiana style cusine.

The jerk chicken and shrimp alfredo over macaroni is truth serum. I liked that the gravy was thick. They scored high points with it. I also ordered lamb chops with greens and spaghetti. They are not playing in the kitchen. The lamb chops were perfect. When I reheat them, I will use the reheat option on my bail fryer so they remain juicy. As to the greens and spaghetti, they introduced some smoke that kicked the flavor way up. Cajun Soul is a walk-up, so it will be all about picking it up to go. What I ordered was cooked on the spot. When I have my occasional lazy moments again, they will definitely get repeat business from me.
