Maple Tree Inn was awarded the very prestigious honor of being named in the Top 50 Southern Restaurants In America by OpenTable in 2018. We are proud to announce that the Maple Tree Inn has permanently relocated to Homewood, IL. We have maintained almost 100% of our staff and they have made the move with us.
We are still committed to the art of Cajun/Creole cooking & maintaining our status as the first and longest-running Cajun/Creole restaurant in Chicagoland. We are featuring a menu of our signature dishes including our Hickory Buttered BBQ Shrimp, Country Gumbo, Jambalaya, Crawfish Étouffée, and many more! We have boutique wines on draft, signature hand crafted cocktails, and an impressive craft beer list. Our hand crafted, premium cocktail menu highlights the very best of our repertoire. We look forward to hosting you & providing you with all the comforts of New Orleans, just a little closer to home.

    This was my first time here and I DEFINITELY will be coming back. From the complimentary parking to the servers, and bussers were excellent. Joe was our server and he was very informative on the drinks and all the food. He treated us very well! That seafood Gumbo was the BEST!!!

    I had been to their previous two locations, they were great, so I was eager to go to their current place. It's just not up to par. While leaving, my wife and I both commented that It's just not worth a repeat visit. No crayfish, WTF?

    We had a wonderful experience. The food was delicious and the portions were just right. We really enjoyed our appetizers (corn bread, fried green tomatoes, crab cakes) and our entrees (I absolutely loved the burnt ends). The cocktails were fantastic as well - I had the fig cosmo(?)

    The service was AMAZING! The vegan options are plentiful. Our server, Gina & the manager, Emma (maybe) were fantastic. They were hospitable and accommodating. The food was great.
