Best Cajun food next to New Orleans
by iamspecial

Love New Orleans and this is the next best place. Makes you think you are in the Big Easy. Food is great. A good place for a group and plenty to look at on the walls. Bottle and bottles of hot sauce.
Hair of the dog

Had breakfast here and found a strand of gray hair on one of the sausage links. I didn't make a big deal out of it - i was done eating already - but decided to point it out to our server. She apologized but then returned later and, for some strange reason, told us no one in the kitchen had gray hair and suggested it might have been a piece of string. Because string is delicious. Offered a free dessert but no comp for the offending dish.
- Pros: interesting menu
- Cons: hair on food

My husband and I were in Chicago last weekend and ended up eating here twice. The food was soooo good! The Red Beans and Rice, Po Boys, Gumbo, and Corn Muffins are to die for. We cant wait until our next trip to Chicago and Heaven on Seven
- Pros: Food, Service, Atmosphere, Jalapeno Corn Bread Muffin
- Cons: None
Cajun style Gumbo by Shadae Y. at InsiderPages

If you are looking for Gumbo this is your stop. The gumbo has jumbo size shrimp with all the seafood fixings and the portions are huge. The price is worth bite.

Heaven on Seven is Incredible! Being from the south and with a affinity for Cajun food, this was a true pleasure to find. The Gumbo is fantastic, the shrimp and grits are plentiful and absolutely wonderful! They do not take credit cards, so make sure you bring enough cash!
Killer Crawfish!!
by fatpaulie

I stopped in to Heaven on Seven last month when I was in town, and I was greeted by a bizarre spectacle: in the middle of the dining room was a large table containing a platter full of crawfish that appeared to be dying due to lack of water and possibly starvation. At first, I was confused, as I could think of no logical reason to slowly suffocate small animals in the middle of a restaurant. Then I was informed that this was in honor of ?Crawfish Festival,? and was an advertisement for their seasonal boiled crawfish special. I ordered the special, though I foolishly tried to select mine from the ones on display, and was informed that these particular crawfish were to be thrown away after they died. Still, the ones I did have were delicious!
When I went back a couple nights later, they had run out of live crawfish, so they had some dead ones sitting out, which I felt made the display slightly less festive. While I still found the sight of several dead crawfish lying on a plate at room temperature to be appetizing, it didn?t make me as hungry as the previous night when I got to watch them slowly grind to a halt and expire over the course of the evening.
Nevertheless, I was so inspired that I decided to use this sales technique at my own restaurant, Fat Paulie?s Invincible House of Beef in Topeka, Kansas (just south of the Municipal Airport on Rt. 4). Of course, we mainly sell burgers and steaks, so we?ve been bringing a cow in each night and tying a plastic bag over its head. We poke small holes in the bag to let a little air in, as we want our customers to be able to enjoy the sight of the cow becoming less lucid, stumbling around, losing consciousness and finally dying over a period of several hours. Needless to say, hamburger sales have gone through the roof! It?s been a bit expensive throwing a dead cow away every night, but the increased revenue brought in by this brilliant marketing strategy has more than made up for it. Thanks Heaven on Seven!
Paradise It Ain't

Had high hopes for Cajun food in Chicago, but if it exists, it isn't here. It's not that it was bad, or that they were having a bad night. It just that nothing tasted that good. The crab cake appetizer was homogenized crab, sauteed too long, for a thick crunchy crust. The shrimp po' boy was on the wrong kind of bread, and served with tartar, rather than remoulade. The red beans and rice tasted of refried beans. We ended up skipping dessert, knowing we could find better elsewhere. Overall, just mediocre food at a fairly expensive price. Try elsewhere . . .
- Pros: The do have a lot of bottles of hot sauce . . .
- Cons: Not much good here

This is a New Orleans, Cajun style restaurant.The
food is amazing and the environment is fun. Marti Gras beads
everywhere and walls lined with hot sauce. The food is amazing. So flavorful. The sweet potato polenta and the gumbo are to die for. The po'boy's are great as well. Great drinks, bring your appetite.
if this is heaven i'll be sure to put in a request to go to h*#&

We made reservation so we got right in during a very busy dinner but that is about where my complements end. I was very disappointed with all of the food, we ordered crawfish tails for an appetizer and the portion was very small for the money and they were so over cooked that they were like tiny leather bites. We split a combo platter for dinner and it was only eatable. The crab cakes were very over cooked just like the crawfish and every thing seemed to have a burnt taste. Maybe it is time to change the fryer oil.
Our waitress was very nice but the girl bringing bread and removing plates was very unfriendly and she removed a plate while my boyfriend was eating from it, how rude,.
The atmosphere was great but not enough to bring me back.
- Pros: got in quick, friendly waitress
- Cons: burnt food, small portions
Awesome Cajun Food in Chicago
by pinoyvlf

When I visited Chicago, I read about a few that recommended this place and I am glad that they did. The food here was great, service friendly, and the place had the coolest decorum ever. Their walls are covered with hot sauces from whereever... a definitely little kick for any tourist. The food was great, but I have had better Cajun food (although I dont know if there are many cajun places in Chicago). Overall, I highly recommend this place to any tourist to come and check out (after eating all the Chicago pizza you can get your hands on). It is located right downtown Chicago, so its a great place to go to if you are shopping around. But beware, the restaraunt can be a little difficult to find (at least it was for me...).
- Pros: Great wall of hot sauces and good food
- Cons: hard to find?
