Just in time for Mardi Gras, Crazy Jaws Roadhouse hosts its grand opening on Tuesday night. Housed in Morton Grove, Illinois, the venue serves up New Orleans-style fare such as fried oysters, gumbo, and Po' boy sandwiches.
At the back of the space, a private dining room with its own bar can seat 40 to 50 guests or hold 75 for cocktail receptions. The restaurant is also available for buyout, and can host receptions for 300 or seated dinners for 200.
Flat-screen TVs throughout the space hook up to laptops and DVD players, and staffers can help hosts rent any additional audiovisual equipment.
