        Blue's Family restaurant can offer you and your family a great selection of food!  The tastes , sounds, and sights of a mixture of New Orleans and Chicago are right here in East St. Louis.  We keep the cozy St. Louis feeling, but with a touch of city style Chicago and Cajun flair, your dining experience is of a different world.  The menu satisfies appetites for gumbo, pecan pie, Chicago style stuffed pizza and mega hot dogs, crawfish, and Jumbalaya.  While waiting for a meal enjoy the sounds of blues and jazz music while snacking on our famous blue corn chips.  Blue's Family Restaurant is prided for its decor.  Blue's walls are artistically painted by the children of the community.  The variety of hues and creativity will keep your eyes entertained before and during your meal.  We recommend dining on the outside patio that looks out towards a lovely lush green lawn, which makes the meal even more appetizing.  Delicious food with that unique atmosphere can be found right here in town!
