"Cajun and Creole restaurants open and close in Chicago at an alarming rate. We hope Fifolet in Wicker Park doesn’t also succumb to this trend, since their Cajun food is very good. The menu is full of classics, including gumbos and po’boys. Order the Fifolet gumbo, which has alligator, crawfish, and shrimp, and the shrimp and grits - the shrimp has nice spice and the grits are fluffy and creamy. It’s a casual spot, with a large bar in the center of the restaurant, and you should come for drinks or a low-key date night. If you’re lucky, they’ll have live music." - Adrian Kane

This was my first time coming here. I didn't know there would be a brunch so this was a really good deal. We got the fried green tomatoes as a starter. They were pretty good but it was a little different with the pickled cauliflower. I ordered the gator hash. It was very good. My party also had the shrimp and grits, beef and grits, and seafood jambalaya. I really liked that we can control what goes in the mimosas at our table. I would like to go back there again and try the other stuff on the menu and also check out the dinner.

Fifolet has very good cajun food and much of it is a nice twist on what I've actually had in New Orleans. Get the cornbread for sure - it's exceptional. Prices were fairly high but it was still a good value.

They have a great menu with plenty of options. The vegetarian options are very limited. We had ordered the seafood jambalaya and something with alligator (i don't remember the name). Both were served with rice which made this meal plenty filling. Both dishes had the right amount of spice and flavor. Leftovers the next day tasted just as good!

Very cool place, kickback energy. Good place for a date or a group, the music and the vibe just makes you want to conversate and laugh. The food was amazing! I highly recommend the cornbread and the macaroni, mamas gumbo and chicken jambalaya. Delicious!!

Great quality food for the price, cocktails were creative and delicious, service was friendly and timely. Fun decoration and unique music. If u want a reco, try the fried green tomatoes with pickled cauliflower, and the fried chicken po boy with the back door iced tea.

First time to this Cajun New Orleans place. Was initially put off because they didn't have oysters, but made for it with a superior seafood gumbo. The real pleasant surprise was a sampling of four absinthes. All the required trimmings. It was great. Also had boubon, brandy

Came in for brunch. $18 bottomless Mimosa/Bellini is a steal. Food is good. Service is attentive.

The owner is an awesome person. I stop by whenever I am around Wicker just for her old fashioned! The food is good as well, though they're medium portions, they pack a whole lot of that good cajun style flavors. The drinks are exceptional and always worthwhile. Cheers!
