J & J Fish and Chicken

Decided to give this place a try since i always pass by and never stop by! This was my first and last time wings were disgusting and fries were just as nasty, couldn’t even finish them! Avoid!

OMG this was the worst food that I have ever paid for. The Mac and cheese came out of a blue box and the green beans out of a green can. I’ve been here once and that did it for me. Terrible food!

Let’s call it what it is… good, fast fried chicken and seafood. The staff is always more than accomodating and is certainly pleasant no matter what time of day you visit. Best part is, when you call in an order and they say it will be a few minutes, they actually mean it. By the time I arrive, my food is ready and waiting. What more could you ask for? While I really haven’t ventured much into the chicken itself I have to say that their wings are AMAZING and not to mention it’s a great price what what you get. They are crisp and flavorful. Lately I have found that the sauce isn’t as wonderful as when I first started going there but my solution to that is just to get plain wings that I sauce on my own. I am also not a huge fish fan but have to say that their catfish nuggets are great. It is a very light breading that is really not all that greasy and can easily be peeled off if you just want some moist, delicious fish. Certainly is the go-​to place when I have a craving for some fried food. I enjoy their potato salad and coleslaw but will say their macaroni and cheese is something that doesn’t seem all that homemade.

Great homestyle food. The kind that’s full of greasy goodness and is the worst for your health. But it’s always tasty and fulfilling despite the service being really slow. It’s worth the wait but not if you’re in a rush. They do however offer a call-​in order service. I never eat in the restaurant because it is dicey with mismatched tables, chairs and booths that appear to be older than I am.

J&J has friendly service oriented employees. The food that we had however, was mediocre at best. I had the medium large fried shrimp and it was over-​breaded and over cooked! Over-​cooking shrimp is a big no no. The collards had a piece of meat on the bone in them, and it was tasteless and kind of gross. The green beans were okay. The hushpuppies were pretty tasteless. My wife’s popcorn shrimp were better but very small. She liked the cole slaw. This is our second visit and will be our last. There are many choices for fried seafood that provide tasty food that is not over cooked.

Love the food and the service AND they’re cheap. You get way more than you pay for. Its definitely worth checking out. I havent had a bad experience there yet and I go pretty often

J&J is one of my go-​to places when I need a quick fish fix. The people in there have always been really nice to deal with, and the food is served hot and fresh.
As other reviewers have noted, this ain’t a high-​falootin’ fancy place, but the food is good and it’s priced right.

For a quick fried seafood fix, this place delivers! The fish always tastes fresh, no complaints. My favorite is the Catfish and Flounder! There has been a change in management over the past year and to me it’s gotten much better. Don’t expect fancy, just expect a good, fresh fish sandwich and you won’t be disappointed. I give it 5 stars simply for what it is, a good fish «joint».
Oh and let me say this, in a world where trust is an issue for EVERYONE… I ordered food one day, went to pick it up and realized I had forgotten my debit card. The lady gave me my food and said «next time you are in the neighborhood, you can pay». I looked at her because I was confused! I said really, she said yes and smiled… AWESOME!

I was in the mood for some fried seafood and I saw j and j and wanted to try it. Dont expect anything fancy in terms of décor but what do you expect?
So I got the fried catfish and jumbo shrimp along with fries and hushpuppies. The breading on the shrimp was a little thick and kind of overpowered the shrimp flavor. The catfish breading was good, however. The catfish itself had great flavor, a smooth and clean taste very nice. The fries were not very crisp they were just average.
Overall if your in the mood for fried food j and j is not a bad option. After eating I could barely move but my craving was satisfied.

I can’t even begin to say how awful the food is here. My stomach didn’t start hurting until the next day, maybe it’s just the thought of how bad the food was! I will say the employees are nice…
The first time I ate there I had a fish sandwich, which was just okay. My dining partner was sick all night after eating the scallops and didn’t want to ever go back.
The next time I went was for what they said is a Chicago style Italian beef sandwich, which is in their TV ad. Honey, I’m from Chicago and they don’t have a clue what a beef sandwich is or how to prepare it!
On the menu it says you can get it mild or hot, wet or dipped. For those from Chicago you know what this means and you’d think you’re in the right place. I got mild and dipped. Well my sandwich was not dipped, nor was it wet, it was greasy! The bun was sooo greasy I couldn’t pick it up. The beef was like gyro meat cut off the spit and placed on the grill. And I think they just poured grease from the grill onto the beef mixed with water to make the sandwich «wet.» I have never had a bad beef sandwich in my life, but now I can say I did.
The fries were nasty too. They had this crunchy stuff fried onto them and strangely, not very warm.
I gave up on the bun, just eating the few strips beef out of it and the some of the cold green peppers that buried it. I also had a few fries and then threw it all in the trash. I soda was good, but basically was a $ 5.00 soda as the food was only worthy of the trash can.
When I arrived no one was in the place except me, yet there were 3 cars parked out front. I think they do it to make the place look busy.
Don’t go there. Do yourself a favor and Do Not go there! The food is Awful, just awful!
