Bluegrass

Really good down to earth Cajun /Creole cooking at Northshore prices and quantities. We thoroughly enjoyed all the dishes we were served, but the standouts were the gumbo & jambalaya, and combo fried shrimp and barbecue rib plate. The shrimp had a very light breading and perfect crispy crunch. The BBQ is really VERY legit! Whoever is cooking at Bluegrass has some serious skills with the smoker. The shrimp etouffee and red beans and rice were also very delicious. Having just been in New Orleans in the past couple months, I can honestly say this place is definitely on a par with anything that I had while down there. The only difference being that the portions were much smaller and at twice the price! The atmosphere (theme) has tons of that Big Easy personality, unfortunately I couldn't say the same for the staff, who came off as cold and "all business", with no sense of humor or smiles, granted, they were very efficient at what they were doing. Who knows, maybe next week when this mask BS is done in Illinois and Mardi Gras is in full swing, the smiles will come out? Let's hope so!

First time eating here with my son & we absolutely enjoyed it! Everything was great! From appetizer to dessert it was worth the $$$ spent! Will come back again in the future!

Can't recommend this restaurant enough. 10/10 for amazing fresh Cajun seafood forward menu, 10/10 service/staff, 10/10 atmosphere (great outdoor seating options, very clean/sanitation conscious). My wife and I ate here for the first time when we celebrated our marriage and just returned a few weeks later because we wanted to try other dishes on the menu and the staff is outstanding. This restaurant has something for everyone! Every dish we have had there was well balanced but had such great depth of flavor. I strongly recommend the Louisiana Blacked Grouper, Crawfish Risotto, Smoked Cheddar Grits and Vegetable Jambalaya with Beyond Sausage. I only eat fish, but if I did eat meat I would certainly want to try Texas style BBQ ribs and other pit style options. But especially if you love seafood Bluegrass is an absolute must.

We had a great experience at Bluegrass. We had no reservation but that was not a problem. They sat us at the bar and we were served by Luis, he was a great bartender who provided excellent customer service. My wife had French onion soup which was amazing. I ordered the barbecued corned beef and it was impeccable. They had a great beer selection as well.
