   JoJo’s Winter Tent experience has a stunningly festive atmosphere, but the experience didn’t match the decor. Service was inattentive, with staff pushing the frustrating self-service option despite poor internet connectivity. The wait for food was long, and it arrived lukewarm. To make matters worse, our soup came without spoons, and it took far too long for someone (not even our server) to help us. While the ambiance was impressive, the slow service and subpar food quality left us disappointed.

   Jojos Winter Wonderland was just ok. Many other bars in Chicago have more interesting displays during the holidays. It felt like someone put up some decorations in their garage around a tree. Nothing amazing. The food was really the highlight, the sandwiches and pot pie were great. Even the shakes, outside of appearance, were just ok. There were no napkins, condiments, or silverware on our picnic table, let alone decorations. Shakes were spilled on the ground underneath it from earlier diners. Our server was very nice but stopped by our table every 15-20 minutes or so, not enough for food service. The staff were nice however. Our largest complaint was the bathrooms were gross. No hand towels, trash everywhere. I would expect more from a fairly well known restaurant like that. Overall, I would try another place before going back here.

   Horrible experience. I do understand it's the holiday season but even our spinach dip had not come after 45 minutes and when I asked our waitress Her saying you're just going to have to wait and get it when your food comes out was enough for us to get up and leave. Always wanted to eat at this location but it was not worth the wasted trip.

   It was very cold in the tent “Winter Wonderland” area and was not finished decorating so I believe it should not have been listed as open yet. The pot pie was delicious but the chicken sandwich was noting special and did not even come with a side. I was very excited to bring my granddaughter here but not sure I will return.

   The service was really bad the waitress apologized about the wait and stated she was the only waitress there, but we were 1 of 2 tables. In entire restaurant. The ornament experience was nice but we asked about it multiple times and it was brought out at the end which didn’t make sense because we didn’t have time to let the ornaments dry. Waitress stated she would bring over waters, meals came still no waters asked again and they finally came. There was an issue with the meals which was resolved via manger. Overall the ambience was cool, but not worth it for price and lack of service.

   The food was okay the shakes were the best thing on the menu we ordered hot wings but they were undercooked. Our booths were so close we kept bumping into the other guests, so it was kind of uncomfortable. Would I come back for another visit absolutely not

    Loved all the photo spots they have! I haven’t taken photos with family out in a long time, Jojos gave me some really beautiful photos! The staff were super helpful and friendly. The overall vibe was fantastic. My family and I had a great time! Can’t wait to travel there again!
