The food here is amazing — seriously comparable to French Quarter cuisine. Shout out to Mike, the #1 bartender in Chicago!

Mike is the best bartender ever!!!! He made our experience even more awesome which is incredible because the food is already amazing! Storyville is a Chicago gem and I love coming here. Incredible food and drinks!

Storyville was a great brunch spot my girlfriend found. Great atmosphere, food was so so good!! They have this fantastic sauce our server Tony recommended and wow, was he right! As for service, Tony was such a down to earth person- great service, was very personable, and went over the top to give us great recommendation for tourists. Stop by if you want a great brunch spot with a great vibe, great food, and affordable bottomless mimosas!

If you're looking for tasty cajun seasoning and friendly service - this is the place. I love their dessert beignets! The staff here are always so helpful.

The food was fantastic and service was excellent! Really wish we could’ve stayed for the band! We are definitely planning on going back.

I had the red snapper fish over jambalaya it was so delicious. The drinks are fire and the vine is on point. Love the speakeasy downstairs, such a cool place!!!

Best jambalaya outside of N.O. Great food, service, and drinks. Espresso Martini is not to be missed and, if you’re brave, the absinthe frappe is great too

Lulu's bartender downstairs, Hannah, was so awesome and made my first stay in Chicago so magical

As a Louisianian, when traveling, every city claims to have "Louisiana flavor" food. We celebrated my birthday at Storyville. We had a blast and the food was delicious! We ordered several different plates to get a taste of everything...and everything was well seasoned. We had: Fried Okra Gumbo Pasta Jambalaya Cajun Linguini Chicken Wings

Unfortunately, we didn't get to try the food, but the vibes and the staff here were great! Very cool place to hangout. If in the area I recommend trying Storyville.

This place was well worth the visit! My group arrived during Happy Hour and took advantage of the great deals they had going on. The drinks were delicious, the vibe was immaculate, and the service was impeccable. I truly appreciated the friendly bartenders and their great attitudes. We were also eternally grateful for the hostess who worked hard to get us a table and make us feel welcome despite the busyness.

The atmosphere was great. I really enjoyed my Hurricane and my wife enjoyed her cocktail although to be honest I forget which one it was! (It was one of their specialty ones.) I enjoyed the jambalaya pasta and my wife loved the redfish. We did not check out the speakeasy but will definitely be back and plan on seeing it. I would highly recommend this place

Came here already several times, the food & drinks are always amazing, would eat so much :)). As the service is always great, caring and sincere. A great place in Chicago.

Stumbled on this place when looking for a last minute brunch plan and it did not disappoint! We decided to sit at bar instead of waiting for a table since we didn’t have a reservation, the staff was friendly and inviting, especially our bartender Chantel, who was really sweet and attentive. The food was so flavorful, the portion sizes were huge and everything came out hot and fresh. Planning to check out the speakeasy on my next visit!

Chantel & Donnie are amazing. This is a staple and I have to come almost every week. The atmosphere is amazing and the people are even better. Happy hour is 4 to 6 every single day so you gotta find your way here.

Wemt straight for the pasta jambalaya with a cranberry drink and was not disappointed at all. The flavour was gorgeous and so happy they had a gluten free option. The man serving was very lovely and considerate, it was comforting to have someone to converse with as a solo traveller. He would ensure that visitors feel safe and gave me the perfect portion size I could handle as I know American food can be rather large. Definitely is a surprise to me that nearly their whole drinks menu is just alcohol lol.

Loved this restaurant, best cornbread and jambalaya I've had outside of New Orleans. Must visit.

The food was delicious 😬 Donnie was absolutely amazing and should be the bartender !

Atmosphere was nice, food & service was just right. You'll enjoy this restaurant

My husband found this place on TikTok and it stated they had a New Orleans vibe and we wanted to try it out for my birthday and it was everything the food the service the drinks and the atmosphere definitely a New Orleans vibe food was served hot and great waiters and front desk was so nice I will be back 10/10

They allowed my fiancé and I to come in a little early to the speakeasy for our engagement photo shoot. The staff were absolutely wonderful and accommodating and we truly appreciated them for letting us do this. The speakeasy is the perfect vibe that we were hoping for, dark and moody with some older charm. Drinks were also fantastic!

Ordered the Gumbo and burger and both were phenomenal. The gumbo could use a little spice but overall was very yummy, rice well cooked, sausage and shrimp cooked to perfection. The burger was also delicious, and the sauce was good. Also the beignets were so soft and sweet. Recommend, will be returning!

Loved it and the drinks were amazing

Donnie J was absolutely AMAZING! She found out I was visiting from out of town and went out of her way to make sure brunch was top notch. She was so personable, professional, and accommodating. Make sure you ask for her if you visit!

The good is always amazing. The catfish nuggets and wings are some of the best I ever had. Donnie was helping us out and she was an amazing hostess and waitress. She was doing everything in that place from hosting to waitressing to serving. Really enjoyable experience.

Donnie was our server! She made our visit! Food was delicious! Overall, great experience. Thank you Donnie!

Happy Hour is a must!!! You definitely bang for your buck with good portions. I enjoyed the okra and savory beignets. Red beans and rice were a nice comfort food. It’s not a dish I would get each time, but worth trying if you want some warm goodness. I highly recommend the frozen hurricane!

Don’t listen to the bad reviews, I’ve been here almost 4 times and each time is better then the last. We tried the savory beignets , catfish nuggets, creamy Cajun linguine, and jambalaya and everything was amazinggg. The drinks were perfect as well. And The service is impeccable. Definitely one of my favorite restaurants in Chicago !

Happy hour deals are so good!

Hannah has been so fabulous at Lulu's she's literally the BEST bartender we've met our whole time in Chicago! Lulu's 10/10 so great!

Came to brunch with a few of my girlies and was immediately pleased with the stylish Nola decor and vibe! Bonnie was very thoughtful and helpful with choosing drinks and menu items. My chicken and waffles was so yummy, chicken flavorful and waffles not too sweet! Also, Bonnie’s Mule is one of the tastiest cocktails (you can add alcohol to it(; ) I’ve had in the city! Totally recommend for brunch and would come for dinner!

Came for brunch with a couple friends and loved it! Donnie was amazing with her drink creations and recommendations; we will definitely be back to see her!

Donnie is amazing!! Very attentive!

Jada is the best! And the biscuit waffle chicken sandwich is so good!

Bottomless were definitely bottomless! Had a great experience and the food was great! Jada was the best server!!!

10/10! Biscuits and gravy to the bottomless mimosas! AND Jada 10/10 server.

Great vibes, loved Jada

Great service, great hospitality, great vibes hosted by Jayda great vibes

This is my favorite spot! We love Jada

Impeccable service, tasty cocktails and mouthwatering food. This was my first time at Storyville and I'm definitely adding it to my favorite restaurants in Chicago list. I ordered the Shrimp & Grits. My friend had Jambalaya and we split the Bananas Foster for dessert. Everything was perfect!

I went for brunch for the first time.Food: I had The Seafood Skillet which was delicious!Drinks: Bottomless Mimosas and they were “Mimosa-ing!” LOL!Atmosphere: The tables are CLOSE seating especially if there are others next to you. That was the only dislike that I had.Service: I’m not sure if they are still there or not since my review is late but my server at the time was Jada and she was EVERYTHING professional, attentive and pleasant! The Bartender was Brendan and he was good!I definitely would recommend Storyville and I would return!

Javier is the absolute BEST he makes any drinks DELICIOUS

Jada was great! The drinks are so good! Recommend the Windy City hurricane and the banana foster martini. Great little French quarters N.O vibe

Jada is amazing! She is so personable and relatable, they are lucky to have her!

Jada is the BOMB!! Ask for her, she is the best!!!

I was here for happy hour on a Tuesday and it was great! I would recommend!

Excellent in every area! Grits were divine!

Just had brunch here with my boyfriend and I love their chicken and waffle. I can devour those chicken wings any day, so much flavors and crispy even after it got cold. We top it off with endless mimosas and got our money worth it. The host and our witness are super friendly and attentive. I saw them did their little dance moves behind the bar when it was a good jazz song playing. Love the energy

Had a great time at this place! Been there twice and served by Ms. Donnie both times...she's the best! Made sure we were well taken care of both times! See you again soon

Stumbled into Storyville because my friend Ashli raved about how amazing this place was, so we decided to give it another whirl. While I was tempted to have dinner, we ended up just getting cocktails instead. Jada, the bartender, was one of the warmest and charismatic people I've met in a while. Service was impeccable! Towards the end of the night, we were also served by Peyton who was very welcoming and sweet! Great alcohol knowledge and recommendations!Overall atmosphere was amazing. Can't go wrong with a NOLA themed spot. Beautiful decor and fun vibes.10/10 would come again!!

I love this spot. Hannah was amazing. The vibes and drinks were spot on. I would definitely recommend this to all my friends and family.

The cocktails were exceptional, and so was the jambalaya and pasta

Didn’t eat but the espresso martini was great and so was our waitress Jada!!

This is my 3rd time visiting storyville. They never disappoint. The food is impeccable, service is attentive and the atmosphere is vibrant. The chicken wings are a 10/10 drinks are strong and sweet. I honestly have never had a single complaint any time I’ve been. I highly recommend this wonderful location and all of their food and drink options!

Great experience. Great service!!! I’d come back here 100 times.

Staff was very friendly and food was pretty good

Jada was a super fantastic server. The food was fantastic. Jada made me feel like we were having a family experience!

The seafood skillet was delectable. Nice size shrimp and plenty of crayfish. The ettoufee sauce was also delicious and had a nice flavor. I recommend this dish.Jada was an awesome host!! Very attentive.

First time here! Jada took care of us. She was wonderful. So fun and kind! Shrimp and grits is 🔥🔥

Shoutout to Hannah for matching our vibe! Great drinks and a cozy, quiet setting. Cute interior

Donnie was amazing!!! I loved her energy and she made sure we were well taken care of! 100% recommend

I came here for my birthday and i just loved the vibe! Our waitress Donnie was on point!! She recommended great food and was super nice and patient with us even though we had a big group. If ur thinkin about date night or a bday dinner, this is definitely a good choice!!

Donnie is the best!

Donnie was amazing!! Celebrating a friend’s birthday and she took care of us all night. Great personality !!!

Love the food and atmosphere here but Donnie (our server) always enhances our experience. Definitely come for the food, vibes and Donnie 🙂

Donnie was so sweet and attentive

Donnie J was soooo amazing im coming back tomorrow.

Donnie was amazing! Service was absolutely top tier. 10 out of 10

Donnie was an amazing host and server! We came for a birthday celebration and she made it an outstanding experience! I will definitely be back.

Donnie was a joy! She was very attentive, offered amazing suggestions for food and drinks! She brought smiles and laughter to our birthday celebration and made it special! I will definitely come back to experience this type of service again

Loved every bit of Donnie’s service! She’s a joy to work with! Definitely coming back just for her!

Donnie was attentive and fun, just what we love about finding new places. Add in great drinks and food - definitely will be coming back!

We loved Hannah! After having a terrible experience upstairs she saved the day. We told her how horrible the service and drinks were and she delivered 10x more and exceeded expectations

Hannah is amazing. She’s so sweet and has the best energy.

I love Hannah!! She eats down and she has such a nice vibe!!! Shoutout hannah you were so cute

Hannah was the best! We had her at Lulus and she provided great service. She accommodated my friends and made amazing drinks.

Hannah saved the night when Javier gave us the worst experience. She’s literally best!!!! She made the night 10 times better.

I always enjoy my time at STK, food is always great. Dana is a kind and attentive server!

Celebrating my birthday with family and everything was great! Food, service, atmosphere were wonderful. Looking forward to my next visit. Jayda was amazing!

Jada was the best ever! Truly the best service i’ve received in chicago! Delicious food. “Spicy” is not spicy it’s flavorful for the louisiana folk. Excellent service. Excellent Atomosphere. 10/10 my girl Jada got us good with endless mimosas.

Storyville just doesn’t miss! Everytime I come here they exceed my expectations. I tried their happy hour this time we got a marg, old fashioned, beignets, and chicken po-boys. The drink were great, as always. The beignets were good though I feel like they were missing some kind of sauce? But the chicken po-boys and fries were amazing so fresh, and seasoned to perfection, we will be back !

It was my friend’s birthday & she wasn’t a fan of the seafood gumbo - so they went above and beyond and got her two birthday desserts and presented them incredibly. The waiter was amazing. The place is super cool.My food was delicious.

We're down here at lulu's speakeasy hanging out with the best bartender we've had for our stay in Chicago, Hannah. She has been so sweet and attentive and the vibes down here are fantastic! Highly recommend.

Hannah was amazing. Checked on us and was soSweet. The food and drinks were 10/10 (try the red snapper)

Everyone is super nice, there was no cover and we got a table without booking and the drinks were good quality. Recommended

I asked for a stronger drink from Hannah it was the first drink I’ve gotten from a bar, it was amazing and she got me right! The vibe and ambience was really nice the low lighting and all. The music choice was very good and the food was chef kiss. The Cajun wings were very crispy tasted really well but they weren’t spicy. The gumbo was very good it was missing that soul but trust me when I say it was still very very good. The Fat Tuesday fries were my favorite thing I tried but I know that seems basic but if you want to eat the whole plate definitely order chefs kiss!

I came here for my sisters birthday and it was so fun! We went down to the speakeasy and had Hannah with the impeccable blonde hair and incredibly straight teeth (she makes amazing delicious drinks, between her and the product i was inspired to write this) i got the swamp king, gumbo, the fries, and beignets. I also had the bourbon street old fashioned upstairs served by someone with two small gold hoops who was absolutely gorgeous as well. Love the atmosphere and the people making it happen!

Came here for my daughter’s 25th birthday and it was definitely a vibe. Hannah was amazing and the drinks were on point. Will be returning for sure😊

We walked in before midnight and found this gem in River North that has an amazing ambience! Music was awesome, service was top notch! Thanks Hannah for a great service!!! ❤️❤️❤️

So great!! Hannah was our bartender she was the best bartender ever! Would recommend for a fun night out with friends!!!
