    The servers was absolutely horrible. I waited 20 minutes to get seated after placing a reservation once seated 30 minutes have went by and no one came to take our order. I had to flag someone down to let them know that we haven’t been serviced yet. Then once the waitress came and took our order another 30 minutes written by and we haven’t received anything so I just got up and left. I never felt so disrespected in my life was absolutely horrible. I am so disappointed.

    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.

    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
