This place is a vibe! If you're looking for a unique and tasty experience, look no further!! I attended a birthday party here and the service was as perfect as the food.
The alligator was smoked to perfection and fell off the bones, literally! We enjoyed a buffet style dinner with the best macaroni and cheese and Jambalaya North of New Orleans!! I can't wait to go back and try more of the exotic dishes that they serve!!


We reserved the second floor for the baby shower of our eldest daughter.
We hosted about 45 people to partake for a menu of a whole smoked pig, delicious chicken, and garlic shrimp.
The place is amazing: ample, comfortable, and welcoming.
The service was top notch including our bar staff, the chef carving the pig, and the service staff.
Jen, our coordinator was always willing to help us with the preparations.
And Emily, the hostess, made us feel welcome and appreciated.
My entire family thoroughly enjoyed the food, the ambiance, and the service.
This is a gem of a place in Chicago.


The food was amazing! From the ribs to the peach pie jar it was great.
The drinks was out of this world good.
Jessica C and Jackie was so sweet.
They made our experience so much better ❤️ Thank you ladies.
