Chef-owner Jimmy Bannos brings Chicagoans a taste of New Orleans at his wildly popular Heaven on Seven restaurants.
From the restaurant's website:
"Welcome to Heaven on Seven, Chicago's premiere location for the authentic Cajun cuisine of critically acclaimed Chef/Owner Jimmy Bannos. We offer two downtown and one suburban location to serve you, providing full-service dining, carry-out, catering and private parties at all of our restaurants."
Cash only. Full bar. Serving breakfast (all day) and lunch Mon–Fri. Serving breakfast/brunch/lunch 10 am–3 pm. Sat. Open for dinner at 5:30 pm the third Friday of each month. Closed Sun.
"The wall of hot sauces, arranged floor to ceiling, should alert any diner that a meal full of soul is in store. A soft Zydeco soundtrack plays under this room's clatter, which comes from a crowd eating New Orleans-style food almost elbow to elbow. The counter is the best bet for those looking for a quick meal, but those with more time will want to savor their Po-boy sandwiches, andouille sausage, soft-shell crab and down-home sides like collard greens, cheese grits and corn muffins."
