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.

    We took my mother-in-law out for her 88th birthday party. We had a large party and had to wait a little bit past our reserved time but that was because of lingering diners occupying the space. We had the best server Joe. He was very attentive especially catering to the birthday girl. The food was delicious, not too spicy, with a definite Creole zing. I had the redfish with etouffe - generous portion and very tasty. The catfish, chicken, burnt ends, and gumbo were also good. A great place for a special night out.
