About this restaurant

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!

    There are so many delicious things at Maple Tree, we always over eat! When I order, I want to go back to a wonderful dish that I had at a previous visit. However, trying a new item has never disappointed. We are always happy with the recommendations made by the staff. The service is very good, friendly and attentive. Appetizers are a must (Cornbread, yes!) and the special cocktail creations should not be over looked. (The Little Dragon is magical!) Maple Tree is a wonderful dining experience.
