Junebug Cafe Portage Park

These guys are in a world of their own. Have not had anything like this except for New Orleans. Please run don't walk here. You will not be disappointed!

Tried to order a King Cake for Mardi Gras because this is one of the few places you can find them in the city. I went to pick it up and they put the baby ON THE OUTSIDE. Needless to say I didn’t get the cake. Even Walmart sells king cakes with the baby inside. Extremely upset because this place is not close to where I live so it was a bit of a drive to even get there. People were very nice but if you’re looking for home food, save it for your kitchen. Anyone buying a king cake knows the baby is inside. It was left out due to a “choking hazard” but even Walmart sells king cakes with the baby inside.

Love Junebug Cafe!! They have delicious beignets rolls & this years King Cake was spectacular! Great service helpful friendly and I highly recommend! Their delicious sweets with sauces and all really added to our Mardi Gras menu!

The worst beignets ever. I have been to New Orleans and other restaurants in the south. They're suppose to be light, fluffy, not overpowered with powdered sugar. These were horrible chewy, no flavor, and so much powdered sugar

Went there for lunch and the food and service was amazing! Will be coming back for sure.

The breakfast pie was delicious. I'd rather give this place 8 bucks for their handmade delicious food vs any fast food garbage. Very worth it.

Fake Cajun and terrible tasting! Had high hopes but this place was BAD!!! Save your tastebuds from this bland experience and go to Popeyes for better taste. And Popeyes is not good so that should tell you a lot. The gumbo had a sour taste to it and was very oily. There was little flavor of true gumbo in this dish. Red beans and rice is my favorite, always try it at every restaurant that has it. Look at the pic. It looks like something you get at Chipotle. Very little beans compared to rice and they were hard. This dish should be creamy and melt in your mouth. The flavor should be subtle but warm and pleasing. They forgot to put in the flavoring, like no taste what so ever. We added the $6 up charge for Cajun chicken to the red beans and rice, big mistake. This was not blackened but slapped on a grill till it was tough and sprinkled with some McCormick Cajun seasoning. I really wish the owners would of taken the time to actually taste their own dishes to realize they need ALOT of work.

Excellent little gem that offers up Cajun cooking and delicious drinks. Food was excellent and served quickly. No complaints

I really came for the Biscuits and Gravy and that is no longer offered. Maybe they should update the menus and signage perhaps? Having just come from Savannah I thought the Beignets were a bit on the heavy/dense side. The ones I had in Savannah were definitely lighter and less greasy. These lacked flavor and had so much powdered sugar in them I felt like I was in a snow storm. The sandwiches are the real star here... as is the expensive Gumbo. Delicious. Go for the lunch PBoys and skip the breakfast Side.
