A taste of Louisiana Creole in Forest Park, Illinois. We were not disappointed!
Starters: My husband and I both tried the gumbo, we had the chicken and the shrimp. We couldn’t decide which one was better because they both were so rich and flavorful we wanted seconds.
Drinks: We tried the Hurricane it was too sweet.
Main Entree: I ordered the chicken and andouille sausage jambalaya and my husband ordered the shrimp pontchartrain. The food was great, every bite was full of Louisianas creole right at home. Note: The jambalaya is very spicy! The shrimp pontchartrain was amazing I will definitely get that entree next time.
Atmosphere: cute and cozy, we went on a Sunday early afternoon, not much of a crowd and were okay with that. Servers were attentive and friendly. They have a little store that sells chocolates and wine and we definitely took a bottle of their famous leprechauns fury hot sauce! I highly recommend them and I cannot wait to return.

This is a semi OK place to visit food is average nothing so great.
Best to ask about their special and drink special.
Pattie melt was good their rice is a little bit of an exaggeration of Creole style. It was too spicey and hot to eat and very gritty. Ask for a sample or substitute. I guarantee you that it is bland, hot, gritty, and gross. Potato chips are not as stated on the menu they are not homemade and are very stale.
Don’t get me started on the shrimp.
Is not a bad place to stop at, but it’s not a great place either!

Had the “Blackened” wings that looked orange, not Blackened, they tasted off. Next up had the Jambalaya, nothing to write home about, mostly rice. Buddy of mine had a burger he said was great and it looked good. Server was friendly and courteous. Keep expectations low, for some reason I remember this place being better.

We had such a great time on Saint Paddy’s day, and the staff was amazing and the crab and crawfish gumbo and potato and leek soup were so good. It’s a very clean establishment and definitely a bit classier than some of the other “Irish” bars in the area.

WARNING! Their Cajun Shrimp and Cheesy Grits with Andouille sausage are unforgettable and extremely addictive!!!!
Practically every time I order 1 entree, I end up getting 2 more to go……phenomenal!
The hand crafted cocktails / libations are irresistible and the service is up to par.

I had the shrimp and grits, only 4 shrimp and 4 pieces of sausage, the chicken tenders were dry and fried too hard. Poor experience the food.

I have been to New Orleans and tasted different Gumbo recipes and I would say their gumbo is top . I also tried their wings and shrimp sliders which were really good too

The food is absolutely terrible. The drinks are ok and the service is good. Our waitress was fantastic, but the food was barely edible…absolutely no flavor and the crawfish was rubbery. Ugh. Only reason 2 stars instead of 1 is the waitress was nice and provided great service.

This place is fantastic. First time being here, and shanahan’s did not disappoint. The calmari was damn near perfect, it wasn’t rubbery or hard it was just right. The crawfish etouffee was delicious, it wasnt over seasoned or under seasoned. The key lime pie was the bomb, I swear if they told me it was a cheesecake I would believe it. The atmosphere setting is very laid back, casual and relaxing. This is a must try place if you are willing to try something new.

I luv this little place, has a bar and some seating inside. I’ve had their seafood and chicken with sausage gumbo, whether a cup or bowl, filled me up, very meaty. I also had the shrimp and grits, I was too full to eat much. I enjoyed it too
