Fried Catfish Filet x2
Elle L.

You get a lot for the price. My only issue was the batter had a taste that made me think it was fried in the same grease as the chicken wings. The hot water cornbread was good, it had a hint of sweetness to it. While picking up my order, someone asked for the price of bottle of koolaid. I was shocked to hear that they are charging $5.41 for koolaid! Sugar and water! lol.....I need to start selling koolaid if that's the going price. And this was for about 12-14 oz. I wanted to try their sides but again they are a little overpriced on those as wells. Initially I asked for cabbage and fried okra and the total with the 2 filets was $32 so I politely asked them to change it to fries, which I didn't eat. For $32 I could buy cabbage, okra and fish from the store and feed the whole family. I don't mind paying to eat out, but it has to make sense.

I really wanted to like this place, but unfortunately, it did not live up to the TikTok hype. While I expected a bit of a wait (about 20 minutes) since items are made to order, the quality of the food was a major letdown. What I ordered: Oxtails and gravy, catfish with Chicken Pasta and green beans. The Issues: * The Oxtails: Received 3 oxtails in my order that were noticeably overcooked, and it was clear the gravy had been added as an afterthought after the cooking process rather than being cooked with the meat. * Missing Items: I ordered the catfish and pasta, but they completely forgot my side. * Overall Value: Between the execution of the main dishes and the service oversight, the experience just wasn't there. Didn't finish the meal. Final Verdict: Waste of $50. I definitely would not recommend this spot and won't be returning. It's a classic case of a place being overhyped on social media.

Piece of fish and the roll wrapped in foil

Tried the catfish strips and fries- at first glance, I was like "ok, we might be on to something", but at first bite, I quickly realized I was wrong. The fish looks crispy, but oddly enough, it's not! It's overcooked and under seasoned. The fries were absolutely terrible. They are garnished well, but that's it- no flavor. For the price of this meal, I really expected more! I could've had a V8!!

The food has been good pretty much every time. The ambiance is average. The service was cool.

Came in to get our favorite J's international grill since the one in Richardson was closed. I was…read morealso going to stop by my fav vegan place and to my surprise it was closed and replaced by J's vegan burger which we have been wanting to get a burger from them for a min. But they only had it during the week, and with us working during the week and staying almost 30min. Away it wasn't doable. We ordered a lot of food as usual because we like to try everything overall between both places we paid about 95-ish dollars. The food and wait was worth it per usual, but the ATTITUDES at both places weren't, I let my bf order once I peeped, to avoid getting pissed off further. they can also practice safe food handling at the burger place.. I witnessed her wearing her gloves to write on the box, handle the food, touch cups to make drinks, walk to the other restaurant with the same gloves on and walk back, now while she didn't touch anything on the other side it's the principal.. At J's international when the food was ready, our name was called, and she let us look at the food to make sure it was right. The reason for the rating is because of the attitudes I didn't drive almost 30min. To feel like you don't want to work and be bothered today. Buttttt hey the music was a plus I was jammin for the most part!

This place is equivalent to a hood store but located in the suburbs or Desoto. The clerks are…read moreusually pretty nice. It's small so don't expect much of a selection. For the most part I see people buying beer or lotto tickets. Nothing special except he's located in the right spot.
