    We were excited to finally have the chance to eat at Jordyn’s. My boyfriend, my mother and I arrived for our 5:30 reservation and when we walked in, we had to stand in line waiting for the hostess to take ‘to go’ food orders. We stood probably about 10 minutes waiting. When it was our turn, the hostess was very nice and thanked us for our patience. While the restaurant itself isn’t very big, it is decorated nicely. When we arrived at our table, the first thing we noticed was the chairs had very short backs. My mother is 85 years old and I was concerned about her sitting in a chair that she could not lean back in. The chairs sit very low, and the tables are tall, so I felt like a kid in a highchair! I asked for one of the two empty booths, but was told those were for larger parties. Anyway, on to the service. Our server arrived fairly quickly after we were seated, but that was where the quickness ended. It took a LONG time for the food to come out, roughly 30-40 minutes. My boyfriend’s food didn’t come out for another 20 minutes. The saving grace…the food was really good! I had smothered pork chops with sweet potatoes and collard greens, my mother had fried chicken, sweet potatoes and collard greens, my boyfriend had smothered chicken, mac and cheese and broccolini. Everyone enjoyed their food. Be warned, there is 20% gratuity added to parties of TWO or more. Kayla, the food runner, was sweet as pie and kept checking on our food for us. So to sum it up, would we go back again? yes, but we agreed we would try a different time of day. OH, one more thing, it is BYOB, no liquor served! I do recommend this restaurant but I am hopeful they will smooth out the rough edges.

    Found a piece of metal, possibly from a sponge, that was hidden in my mac & cheese. Thankfully, I didn’t swallow it, but that’s definitely a safety hazard.

    Service was less than adequate, we waited a long time for our order to be taken.I had jerk turkey and it was very dry.Our server never came by to ask if we need anything nor did he check to see if we were satisfied with our food; in his defense he was the only server at the time we were there.

    I think it may have been a better experience if I had earlier reservations. Thankfully we were seated at 9:30 pm even though reservations were for 10:30 pm. That was great. However, by that time most of the menu items ran out. I had a few appetizers that tasted good. I tried the fried tomatoes, salmon salad, and jerk chicken tacos. Plenty of leftovers to take home. Overall pretty good. I would give them another try earlier in the day.

    I made my reservation for 10:15 which is a bad idea I guess cause they barely had anything on the menu they was under staff the food was not seasoned I just felt it was rushed and it being a Valentine’s Day weekend. It sucked for my first experience but I’m willing to give it another try one day

    The food is incredible, somewhat pricey but worth every penny. Our server Bianca was great but we ordered our food and it took about an hour for our entrees to come, apps came quick so just make sure you order a couple appetizers to hold you over for the wait.

    First the restaurant decor is beautiful. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The food was absolutely AMAZING! The portion size was great as well. Music was playing at a level that was enjoyable which allowed us to talk without yelling. Service was prompt and the pricing matched the caliber of food that we received. I highly recommend Jordyn’s restaurant.
