We had a great time at JoJo's- Juan our server was amazing. We were there for a bachelorette lunch for my cousin. He even surprised her with zero proof shot since the bride to be is currently 7 months pregnant. The food was good I personally did not order food since we were going to a few places and planned on ordering at the next location however those that ordered enjoyed their food. The space is very fun and the music had us singing along and dancing in our seats. The restrooms were located downstairs however my cousin was using a walker due to her pregnancy and they do have an elevator to an upstairs bathroom and the staff escorted her and stayed up there as well in case she needed any help coming back downstairs.

This place is great. huge outdoor patio with good vibes and photo opportunities. also have a decent indoor seating section. this place specializes in boozy desserts but kids can also find a great selection. this place is in the middle of a ton of bars in river north so a really good place to start or end the night. great service too!

Food and service were amazing. Our server Leslie was amazing. She was attentive and gave us excellent Chicago recommendations as it was our first time in Chicago. We got the mini Chicago hot dogs, the birthday cake shot and a few mixed drinks. Highly recommend. P.s. if you are the owner, please give Leslie a raise. Hands down one of the best servers I've ever had.

Perfect place to stop and get refreshed! A lot of things weren't available on the menu when we went, but the options they had were still great! It was a very hot day in Chicago and this definitely helped us cool off! The staff on duty were very kind, and we sat in the shade as we watched everyone enjoy the pier.

This restaurant has been on my list for since the river north restaurants started opening back up during the pandemic and kept hearing great things about the food and of course the shakes! I had the mozzarella sticks with marina sauce, infused chocolate milk and a Oreo like shake. Delicious delicious delicious lol. I was surprised how many options were available for shakes and snacks!! Service was good and I was seated quickly. They checked on me and helped me with any questions about the menu. The vibes are cool and comfortable. Definitely a place to pre-game or after a night out.

I have a HUGE sweet tooth so I wanted to love this place but it was overly sweet. Like the milkshake had no taste other than sugar and the toppings (cookie, marshmallow, Oreo) were just ok. Like a freshly baked tollhouse cookie would have been amazing but I did not love the cookie they had on the milkshake. If you go you definitely have to share one of these. I shared with a friend and I think we still only had half of it. If it was just milkshakes, I'd say 3 stars but one thing I would come here for is their popups!! Super cute decor and themes throughout the summer / holidays so it's a fun ambiance for that. They have some basic American food, apps, etc. that are decent. Espresso martini was actually pretty good, nice service, and they play fun music.

When is a milkshake worth about $16? When it's big enough to treat your little family of 4!!! We enjoyed the shake and its parings at the restaurant and even had some treats to take back with us. First off, we walked into a winter wonderland with fun decorations everywhere. The staff was friendly and even though we only ordered a milkshake (purposefully not during peak mealtime), they were attentive. The milkshake was delicious but I was all about the additions. The smore was perfectly toasted, the covered pretzel and double chocolate cookie was scrumptious. I couldn't even stop myself from licking off the cup rim. If only it was SO cold, I would have enjoyed it more but I guess they can't control the weather and too bad my family didn't want to share one of the yummy hot cocoa options :P Make sure you make a stop when in the neighborhood!!!
