I had a wonderful experience dining at Jocelyn’s in Chicago. The food was fresh, hot, and full of flavor true, delicious soul food. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and offered great menu suggestions. I especially loved the soul rolls, which were perfectly crispy and made for a fantastic appetizer. The portion sizes were generous, and everything we ordered was cooked to perfection. The only issue we encountered was that checks are not split, and unfortunately, we were not informed of this policy beforehand, which made dividing the bill a little challenging. Despite that, the overall experience was excellent, and I would absolutely recommend Jocelyn’s to anyone looking for authentic soul food in Chicago.
