We hadn't heard of this place. We actually just rolled up looking for a place to eat and I'm happy that we did. The restaurant gives Sunday Funday without the twerking on the couches and drunk people rapping, spitting over your food and drinks. They have a full service bar and a full service counter in addition to seating. When you first walk in, it doesn't look as large but it's good for large parties, I'd say 10-15 people, and a two-top. We had a party of four and ordered way too much food because we didn't pay attention to the portions around us. The starters are large enough for the table and the entree portions are perfect. We ordered chicken and shrimp mix tacos and oxtail egg rolls for starters. For entrees we ordered 1 oxtail and grits and 3 catfish and grits. The catfish and grits must be a favorite because it seemed like everyone had it. Because of my food allergies, I wasn't able to taste the oxtail egg rolls or the tacos. So can't personally speak to it but they must have been good. There wasn't a crumb left. I had the oxtails and grits and the grits were creamy, buttery and salted just right. Oxtails were tender and flavorful. Everyone else enjoyed their catfish and grits. They said the fish was fried to perfection and was seasoned well. We all had leftovers. Essence was our server and she was pleasant, providing great food suggestions and was patient with me about my allergies. This place is good for a group of friends or family, a day date with your boo and a meet up with your favorite friend. I will be back.
My friends and I came to try Jordyn's Brunch Cafe after church. First, the restaurant is in a nice location but the parking is not ideal!! Be prepared to circle around multiple times. We were sure to make reservations ahead of time. I am sure glad we did because it would have been a very long wait if we had not! Canary was our waiter. He was very friendly and attentive. I got the Texas 2-Step for my brunch drink which was so so good! The food was great as well. My whole table rated our experience between a 7.5-9.7/10, so safe to say we all enjoyed ourselves and were satisfied!
The food was decent. The hubby liked the oxtail skillet he thought it was going to be dry by the look, but it was very tender. The wings were ok not fried hard but seasoned. I was expecting something more with the cinnamon roll waffle. It was good, but $20 I was expecting something more. The service was decent. The parking isn't that great we had to circle for awhile to find a spot. Be prepared to pay 20% service charge as I wasn't. For 2 people having brunch I think this was a little much.
They have a free parking lot. The music wasn't too loud. They do not have a kid's menu so keep that in mind. The food was delicious and were nice portions. The drinks were also pretty good and boozy. The variety was out so we couldn't get a matcha/latte. Also gratuity is already included on all parties. The waitress asked for additional tip saying that they have to share gratuity but I think this is standard at restaurants . I don't like that they don't show you a bill just come over with the handheld. I had to ask for itemized receipt and I'm glad I did because they was an error on it. I would definitely come again just without a child and ask for the receipt on paper.
The parking isn't the best, and the wait was kind of long, even with a reservation, but once I got inside I understood why. The food was amazing! We got the pot roast stuffed biscuits and I had catfish and grits with a strawberry peach mimosa! I wish they had a bigger building because they stay packed! So the parking and wait time made sense.
My Aunt and I visited Jordyn's this past Monday and I was pleased however if I may....First and foremost the decor and ambiance was amazing however the floors were dangerously slippery! I had to walk VERY slow to and from the restroom. The food was a bit pricey but that we did not mind as it was an 8 out of 10! If I needed to change anything in regard to the food I'd say the pot roast needs a whole new recipe! It was bland as was the gravy that was provided on the side. The biscuit was definitely homemade, hot and flakey just like grandma's!! The lemonade was delicious! (However, I do not feel that refills needed not to be free. I didn't need a refill but my Aunt got one.) There were some items left out for an extended period of time that were unsightly such as a broom/mop, cleaning supplies and windex on and next to the bar area and I'd prefer for an upscale establishment to conceal those items after use. Other than that our waitress Kendra was nice and the uniforms are a perfect touch! I would definitely return to try other menu items !
2 Stars -- I Really Wanted to Love It. My daughter and I went to Jordyn's Brunch Cafe because we enjoy supporting Black-owned businesses, and we had really been looking forward to trying this place. This place is upscale and beautiful inside. Our experience actually started off very well. We were greeted and seated by a very pleasant, well-spoken young lady who gave us menus and water and told us she would be our server. Shortly afterward, another waitress came over, didn't introduce herself, and told us she would be taking our order. Since it was our first visit, we asked what the favorites were. Instead of really recommending a few standout dishes, she basically went through almost the entire menu. We thought, "Okayyy, everything must be good!" We started with the Roast Beef Biscuits -- $20. Two biscuits came on one plate with some THICK, 40-weight gravy, but let me tell you... those biscuits were GOOD. 9/10. Probably the best thing we had. Unfortunately, we still had no silverware. We were hungry and excited, so we used the natural forks God gave us--our fingers--and put that plate right between us. Eventually, we asked another waitress who happened to be walking by for silverware, and she immediately and pleasantly brought it to us. My daughter ordered the Lakeshore Martini -- $16, which she enjoyed and rated 8/10. I ordered iced tea. The flavor was decent, about 7/10, but it came in such a small, skinny cocktail-style glass that when she first set it down, I thought she had brought me a Long Island iced tea! For iced tea, I definitely expected a larger glass. While waiting for our food, we were fighting FLIES. I understand flies can come in when the doors are being held open, but there were too many of them. Some type of discreet fly-control system would really help. For our entrées: Chicken & Waffles -- $28: 5/10 Cajun Fish & Grits -- $22: Fish 7/10, grits 3/10 Mac & Cheese -- $9: 5/10 Collard Greens -- $9: 7/10 The Cajun sauce on the grits was the biggest disappointment for me. It had a thick, pasty texture and just wasn't enjoyable. The mac & cheese had a good texture but was very plain in flavor. Both $9 sides came in very small cup-sized portions. Overall, the portions felt small for the prices. My daughter's waffles also came without syrup. Once again, we had to flag down another waitress--the original young lady who first greeted us--and ask for it. She immediately and pleasantly helped us. Then came the part that bothered us the most. Our waitress brought the handheld payment machine over, verbally confirmed our order and total of around $140, and held the machine up high, in order to hide all the charges, for my daughter to tap her card. After the payment went through, the machine was lowered for the tip selection. She clearly had something to hide and what a mean trick. Held the payment machine up high so you don't see the gratuity of 20% & hoping you don't ask. What was not verbally pointed out to us was that a 20% gratuity had already been added for our party of two, which we would have seen if she would have lowered the payment machine or sat it on the table. She definitely didn't offer a receipt... why would she do that?! Not realizing gratuity was already included, my daughter gave the waitress another $10 tip. Restaurants absolutely have the right to disclose and charge service fees or automatic gratuities according to their policies, but when gratuity is already included--especially for only two guests--I strongly believe that should be made crystal clear before presenting another tip screen. A guest should never have to discover afterward that they tipped on top of an automatic gratuity. The bright spots were the roast beef biscuits and the two other young ladies who were pleasant, attentive and immediately helped us whenever we asked. They are honestly a big part of why I'm giving 2 stars. I wanted to love Jordyn's. I really did. But between the high prices, small portions, inconsistent food, flies, lack of attentive service, and the gratuity experience, this visit was disappointing. 2 stars. I sincerely hope some of these things improve because I WANT to see our Black-owned restaurants thrive. Supporting the business doesn't mean we can't also give honest feedback that helps the business become better.

The parking at this location isn't the best. I went on a Sunday for brunch, and the parking lot was packed. I was lucky enough to pull in and immediately find a spot. The restaurant is pretty mid standard, but they do have a patio, which is a nice option. It was packed inside when I went, and there was a wait. Since I was dining alone, I was able to grab a seat at the bar after about 15 minutes. They have so many great options on both the food and drink menus. I ordered the oxtail skillet, which comes with oxtail, eggs, your choice of grits, rice, or breakfast potatoes, and veggies on top. I went with the oxtail and grits, and it was amazing. The oxtail portions were really good, with some nice sized pieces. Which I did enjoy! FYI, It did take a while for my food to come out. For my drink, I ordered the Gold Coast Bellini. It was pretty tasty, but it did not come with the gold sugar rim that was listed on the menu. Overall, I would definitely come back to this location. I'd probably go during the week next time, just to avoid the weekend brunch crowd. Definitely worth trying if you're in the area! read more

This place has a wonderful ambiance to it and while we could tell it's new and working out the kinks the food was fantastic. The catfish with the catfish and grits was well cooked and delicious. My wife's oxtail omelette and grits also well seasoned and flavorful. My daughters bacon egg and cheese croissant was flaky, buttery and she loved it. The seasoned fries where also delicious. I was driving so had the juice flights and they where also good. I would definitely recommend if you are in the Houston area. read more
