Jordyn's Soul Cafe Reviews
I normally try to give restaurants grace, but our experience at Jordyn’s in Chicago was completely unacceptable. Our party of 8 waited over two hours and never received our food. The entire time we were repeatedly told that our food was “coming soon,” yet nothing ever arrived to the table.
To make matters worse, the waiter informed us that they had run out of half the items on the menu after we had already been waiting. No one seemed concerned or in any hurry to make...read full review
I’ve been here twice before and had great experiences, which is why this visit was so disappointing.
We were seated at 9:58 PM and waited 32 minutes before our server even came to our table. She finally took our order at 10:28 PM, and then we waited another 30 minutes for just one drink.

Jordyn's Soul Cafe offers a delightful dining experience with tempting dishes. The pot roast empanadas are praised for their light and crispy shell, with a perfect gravy dip. The oxtail dinner with collards and mac and cheese sides is a highlight, with the oxtails described as flavorful and tender. The cornbread was delicious. The jerk chicken tacos are a standout. The atmosphere, with '90s/'00 R&B and current music playing, is a 10/10. The watermelon shot is fye and highly recommended. The service from staff is attentive and professional. The food generally slaps, with the grits creamy and mouthwatering, and the fish nicely seasoned. While some items like ribeye steak or potato salad might be unavailable, and drinks may arrive after food, Jordyn's Soul Cafe provides a great dining experience with satisfying soul food options and a good vibe.
