I have been eating good quality takeout seafood from here for quite some time, but the last few trips have not been good. They still give generous portions, but the breading they heap onto the shrimp and especially the oysters fries into something quite the texture of concrete. I attempted to pick it all off the oysters tonight, but they were still hard to chew because of the overcooking. Sides are limited and not very good either. I recommend that you buy seafood here and take it home to cook it.

Very good service but… I question the origin of a lot of their seafood. The first time in, I asked where some fish came from and the guy behind the counter said, «I got a guy that gets them.» He would not specify where it was from. The last time I was there I noted several items had signs that said they were from Vietnam. Therefore, I’m not sure just how much of this«fresh» seafood is actually from the Gulf of Mexico and how much of it was farm grown in Asia. SO, if you don’t care about the origin of your fish or shrimp then they have a great selection.

The food is always fresh and seasoned well. The only reason I give such a low score is because their customer service is horrible. They are nasty and rude everytime I’ve visited this place. I tried to exscuse the attitudes to the fact that it was always busy, but regardless of how many people are waiting to be served it doesn’t ease the tension between the order takers and the patrons. A shame because i really enjoy the food.

I came to J & D’s at my Grandma’s recommendation… having grown up in Panama City, FL, she knows good seafood! Today the large shrimp was $ 8.99 a pound and from the gulf. We have purchased shrimp here several times and have always been pleased with the high quality of their seafood and their service. When I have made purchases here, they always put a bag of ice in my shopping bag with the bag of shrimp… if I am going straight home, there’s no need to mess with a cooler!

Checked this place out after overhearing some business people talk about it(fairly new to the Montgomery area). I got a Po Boy and Gumbo to go. Frog Legs and oysters are on the menu, too. No dining in but they take call in orders. I wrote this reviewed some time ago, but forgot to publish it. I have been here several times since, and the food was always good with great portions. They were always busy with pick-up orders.

What an amazing find! I stopped by here to buy something to grill up for dinner. I pleasantly discovered that it was not only a seafood market but they also cook up seafood for take-out as well. You can order anything from fried shrimp to fish po-boy. I didn’t order anything food but I did bring home two white snappers that was cleaned and descaled. They were delicious grilled up with some salt and lemon.
