- VVedaChicago / Illinois •22 reviews4.0Dined on Mar 16, 2025Jordyn’s Soul Cafe is small, but mighty. The food is delicious and seasoned well. I ordered the smothered pork chops which were juicy, tender and enormous! You get 2 chops and I couldn’t finish 1. My guy ordered the Jordyn’s Special of ribeye and lobster tail, and was very pleased. We shared an order of fried green tomatoes that were very tasty and topped the evening off with a shared dessert of peach cobbler with 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream; it was decadent! The service is a little slow, but the vibe is great with a good music in the background. The place is not cheap, but you get hearty portions, and it’s definitely in my opinion worth it. We will definitely return; I hope to eventually taste the elusive side of dressing.More infoJordyn’s Soul Cafe - West LoopPrice: Very Expensive• Soul food• West Town•4.2
- AAndreChicago / Illinois •1 review5.0Dined on Mar 2, 2025As a first timer I was highly impressed by the Customer Service, we were seated right away, and the wait staff wasted no time with getting water to the table and then asked if we wanted appetizers right off the bat. Once we made our order the food was prepared and brought to the table faster than I expected. The Food was outstanding, I was pleasantly surprised at how good the entrees where and then the main meal was THE BOMB!!! We'll definitely be back.More infoSoulé to SouléPrice: Moderate• Soul food• West Town•4.3
