Cajun Boil & Bar - Oakbrook Terrace 17w512 West 22nd Street, Oakbrook Terrace, IL 60181

"Food is always great.. the server aka Brat at the bar... is extremely slow. This is what kills the vibe each time. You advise her of something with the expectation of getting back to you in a timely manner but she does any and everything else.. the funny nonsense is there won't be other people around to be waited on ..its like she ignores you and comes back 20 minutes later with what you asked for and it's so amnoying.. get better servers"

"We thoroughly enjoyed the seafood at this restaurant, which did not disappoint. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was lively, with music and patrons singing and having a great time. However, the service was lacking in speed. Our drinks took 20 minutes to arrive, which was longer than expected. We were thankful for the water while we waited. Additionally, the appetizers were delayed and arrived with our entrees. I must deduct a star for the dirty bathroom. The ladies' restroom was messy, with toilet paper on the floors, dirty stalls, floors, and sinks. Cleanliness is important to me when evaluating establishments. I hope the kitchen is cleaner than the bathroom. The staff seemed more focused on chatting at the bar than attending to customers or cleaning the restroom. There was no one at the front to greet guests, as they were all gathered at the bar. Overall, I would have rated this restaurant 5 stars for the food and ambiance, but it falls short due to these issues."

"This was my first time at this location. I usually go to the Oak Park location. Immediately upon entering you notice signs on the wall stating that a 17% gratuity is added to every table automatically. Not a problem easier for me when the bill comes. Our server was very nice when he took our order and that is where the good ended. We sat for 45 minutes after placing the order waiting for our food. We watched the table whose order he took after ours get there food still our server never came back to us. I finally flagged down someone else and inquired about our food. I was told that things were backed up because they had a party room. She goes back into the kitchen and immediately returns with our food which had to be just sitting waiting I don’t know how long to be brought to us. Of course it was Luke warm. I was with my 13 year old granddaughter who only wanted a Mommy and Me day for her birthday so I didn’t complain or ruffle any feathers we just proceeded to eat and she did enjoy herself. The bill comes and I see that the gratuity is labeled a service charge and they had the audacity to want an additional amount they were calling a tip. I did double check with another staff member about gratuity being in the bill. Needless to say he better be grateful for that service charge and now I know why it’s automatically added to the bill I won’t ever be back!"

"First time trying this place. I got chicken po’boy with cajón fries and shrimp Mac and cheese. Food was delicious! No wait we walked in on the Tuesday at 4pm The atmosphere was great they had good music playing. Now the reason I did not believe this place deserved my 5 stars was because the service was bad. I would totally understand if they were busy but this was not the case at all."
