Heaven on Seven

Outstanding place to eat. I would put it up against any restaurant in New Orleans, it's that good. When in Chicago we never leave town without eating there and even once traveling to Naperville because it happened to be a Sunday and the Chicago location was closed on that day. Keep it up Jimmy!

Apart from the wait for a table, service was good and the staff were nice. AMAZING FOOD. We got loads of food and nothing was bad honestly (swap out the bread for grits). They also have good chicory coffee (pair it with their key lime pie). There is a lot of regulars in this restaurant (good sign). I would highly recommend this place!

I have found my favorite place for gumbo. Jimmy, I hope you see this post! Thank you very much for the very delicious gumbo. I was just telling my girlfriend last night, that I needed to find a great restaurant to celebrate my birthday dinner at this year, and having your gumbo today, I know that I'll be having my birthday dinner at Heaven on 7! I'll be seeing you in a couple weeks, with a appetite for creole. Thank you very much again for the delicious gumbo. See you soon!

Fantastic food and drinks. Prompt attentive service. About the only thing missing is live music. Minor catch with being Cash Only but they do have an ATM. Well worth the trip.

We came here for a late lunch. Despite it being late they were still relatively busy. My wife has to use the restroom prior to us getting our table and they...

We went there on Tuesday for a late lunch. No wait got right in. It was a cold rainy day so we craved for hot gumbo. It was located on the seventh floor in a business-looking building so we would’ve never expected there is a restaurant in the middle floor. We had to ask around where the restaurant is located and then we learned that we need to take the elevator up to 7th floor. Ambience is pretty cool. Southern decor resembling Louisiana I assume. Service was outstanding. We had some questions on the menu and the server was friendly and explained all the questions we had. A lot of seasonings on the table for your customizable experience. We ordered the famous Nashville hot chicken, jalapeno corn muffin, and a bowl of gumbo. The chicken dish was really hot and the muffin helped a lot. The hot chicken was not on the regular menu, it was written on the board on the wall as house specials. We were full after the chicken and the gumbo, could not finish the muffin and the fries all the way. Two of us paid $29.80 after tax. Very reasonable price for the quality food. Highly recommended.

Really tasty food for reasonable price! Everything was pretty much spot on besides the AC being turned up a little too much. Fried pickles, tomatoes & gumbo were all great. I would like to try the dessert next time. Come hungry and bring cash. (ATM available in restaurant)

When I started working downtown, this little joint was a plain Jane diner known as the Garland Building Restaurant. It was hidden from public view on the...

Decent prices, very generous portion sizes. It's a bummer they are cash only but luckily we had enough to not have to not order things. The jalapeno cheddar bangers were great, I really liked the friend pickles too. The vegetarian gumbo was gross (spinach and white rice). We liked the fried chicken and the cajun coleslaw as well. Drinks were decently priced and good portions/alcohol content. I'd recommend the place despite the cash thing.

The best Cajun food in Chicago. Super friendly waiters who don't mind sharing their hot sauce recommendations. Must try the fried shrimp, gumbo and the jambalaya. Also, ask for the ghost pepper hot sauce. Edit: it’s cash only, so come prepared. There’s an ATM inside the restaurant too if you need it.
