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.

We had a blast! 7 year old leans over to me mid lunch, "you're right, this place is pretty cool". FYI its kinda chilly, dress warm if you sit in the tent.

This year Christmas decorations weren’t that many. Christmas trees without lights😢 Food was not that good. Service was great! And drinks too. Food is overpriced.

I got seated a few minutes late from our reservation, but we never got a server. No one gave us menus. One bus boy brought a carafe of water and plastic cups. I asked a couple times who had our table. No one ever came. We left after 30 minutes. I’ll never go back.
JoJo's ShakeBAR - River NorthResponded 1 day ago
We deeply regret the experience you had—this is absolutely not the standard of service we strive for at JoJo's. Being seated and then not being attended to is unacceptable, and we sincerely apologize for leaving you feeling ignored and frustrated. Your feedback is invaluable, and we’ll be addressing this with our team immediately to ensure no other guests have a similar experience. If you’re open to it, we’d appreciate the opportunity to learn more about your visit and make things right. Please feel free to reach out directly. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

I have come here every year with my family and I would say I will not be returning. The quality of the food has gone down (particularly the burgers) and the service - they forgot our shakes after we kept reminding them multiple time - it took 55 minutes for our shakes (and he had 2 families of kids) Nothing was discounted and extra gratuity added. It was not a good value or experience sadly.
JoJo's ShakeBAR - River NorthResponded 1 day ago
We’re so sorry to hear about your disappointing experience, especially as a loyal guest who has visited us year after year. Waiting that long for shakes and feeling let down by the quality of the food and service is not what we want for any of our guests, and we deeply regret that this happened during your visit. We take your feedback seriously and will share it with our team to ensure improvements are made. wW’d love the chance to make this right and regain your trust. Thank you for taking the time to let us know—we truly value your input.
