   Very nice environment. It was a first time dining experience for me and my family so we were very excited to try a new Black owned restaurant. Reservation was for my husband’s birthday and I’m glad I did because the food was so so good and seasoned with love!! Our waitress was Jazzmon (I believe that’s how you spell her name) who was very attentive. Even though she was waiting multiple tables she managed to keep up with our entire party’s order and it was 5 of us. All of our food came out in a reasonable amount of time with the temperature nice and warm. I’d definitely recommend this restaurant and will come back soon!

   I’ve visited Jordyn’s 3 times now. The food has been consistently exceptional. This is authentic soul food prepared to perfection. I highly recommend it if you’re looking for homemade type dishes. There are a lot soul food restaurants to choose from in the Chicagoland area, however, you’re looking for soul food with flavors like our grandmothers and great grandmothers were known for, don’t look any further!

   Our service Bobbi was a complete doll. When I return, I will request her to be my service. Her customer service skills and interaction was impeccable

   I’ve been to Jordyn’s a few times. The food is good, the service is slow. Took almost 15 minutes for the waitress to take our order and another 30-40 minutes before our food arrived. The food offerings are varied and pleasing. I love the location because I live in HPK.

   I loved the food and the service! The music was great but a little loud.

   First of of all, upon arrival there was a line outside the door for at least 15 minutes or longer only because there was no hostess at the hostess stand. My friend had to brush through the crowd to go inside, go to the bar and ask if we could be checked in. When we checked in, there was still a wait due to the people in front of us needing to be checked in with reservations as early as 515. Ours was at 6. So that shows you how long people were waiting. Once we were seated we had to get our own menus , and asked for silverware from a couple people and never got it. My friend had to go back to the hostess stand and have her go get that for us too. Then, The food was good UNTIL, there was a hair found in my fried catfish which threw me completely off. I requested that I speak to a manager. He never came to the table smh!! The waiter offered me 20% off the item with the hair in it. I think it should’ve been free . Who wants to be eating and eat someone else’s hair. I understand accidents happens but sheesh !!! That’ll ruin your whole meal. Not to mention when we were ordering there was at least 3 items on the menu that they did not have. I have been to the other location multiple times. I will never go back to this one location. There was just one thing after another here .

   Although it took a little while to be seated approx 30 minutes after our reservation was scheduled. Once we were seated everything was fine from there. The food was very good. I had the oxtails with mac & cheese, string breads, & a side of cornbread. It was all delicious. Definitely plan on going back

   We were seated and no one came to take our order for over 30 minutes. When we finally stopped someone they said sorry it was shift Change, instead of someone communicating any of that until we asked. The drinks came at the end of our meal after bringing them up twice. Food was pretty decent but charging 18% gratuity for that service is criminal

    Very good food kinda pricey. Don’t like that you include 20% gratuity.
