I was really looking forward to the Christmas experience at JoJo’s Shake Bar with my kids, but it fell far below expectations. What was advertised as a festive event turned out to be nothing more than a quick photo with Santa and seating at the bar booth- surrounded by drunk adults in Santa hats. We weren’t even seated in the main room for the “Christmas experience.” For the nearly $30 per person I paid in advance (gratuity included), I expected something far more organized and family-friendly. Honestly, I could’ve spent a little more and taken my kids to a steakhouse for a much better experience. To top it off, I tipped the new waiter additional gratuity at the end, even though it was already included. I felt bad for him especially since the table in front of us was being extremely rude to him so I tipped him additional. While the food was good, it didn’t justify the hour-long drive to Chicago or the disorganized atmosphere. If I wanted bar food, I could’ve driven five minutes to a local spot instead. Overall, I left feeling extremely disappointed, and I wouldn’t recommend this event to anyone looking for a genuine Christmas experience with their family.

Despite reservations there was a long wait and we ultimately did not get seated in the area we requested. Service was slow and inattentive but food came out rather fast.

If you plan to go for Christmas, make sure you have reservations for the Winter Wonderland Pop-Up. If you don’t, you will sit inside. Also, aside from the shakes, the food is not great. Our server was neglectful and that managed to screw up our order twice, forget to bring a straw for one of the shakes, forgot ketchup, and only gave us two forks for a table of four. Won’t be returning.

We were a party of 8. We prepaid for an ornament experience…The restaurant was understaffed for the holiday rush. Our server was fantastic. He had to juggle to take orders and to make our cocoa drinks. He was working hard. Also, two items that we wanted, birthday shake and fish&chips was not available.

Made a reservation and got there 5 mins early. They had us wait and started seating other tables that walked in after us. After 15 mins they gave us a table for 3 with 2 chairs. Waited another 5-10 mins then went to the hostess to ask for another chair. Servers kept running into our chairs because they insisted on walking through a 6in gap between chairs with food trays. We finished our food before the drinks came out. We ordered food and drinks at the same time. Other reviews said the service wasn’t good, they’re right, you’re just paying for the decor. Food was decent, but cheese wasn’t melted on my burger and one of the other meals never got the side it came with.

This was our first experience and were blown away by the shake presentation- so beautiful! The Winter Wonderland pop-up was fun too (we weren’t seated there but it looked fun and energetic). Definitely left on a sugar rush that was worth it.

It was freezing! We could see our breathe while trying to eat. Would not recommend if you are not looking to eat outside in the middle of winter. Hosts we’re not accommodating in terms of moving tables around either. Also, do not be fooled by the ornament painting. Not worth it.
