Gary Native, visiting home! And I had an amazing experience at JJ Fish & Chicken! The food was…read moreabsolutely delicious; hot, fresh, and full of flavor. Every bite hit the spot! We don't get this in Cali!! What truly made this visit stand out was the EXCELLENT customer service from Daniella. From the moment i ordered, she was kind, attentive, and went above and beyond. We were cold and tired, and she graciously brought our food out to the car because we were enjoying our moment of rest and under estimated the food completion time! That meant so much to us! It's rare to find both great food and genuine, thoughtful service, but this location delivered on both. Thank you, Daniella, for your kindness and care, we will definitely be back! (tomorrow lol).

Unsanitary and unbelievably rude service. My son and I both ordered the Station 21 burger medium…read morewell. When our food arrived, I cut into mine and it was extremely rare--so undercooked that one side of the patty was still pink. My son's burger was cooked correctly, so I know mine clearly wasn't. When our waitress checked on us, I explained the issue, and she politely apologized and took the burger back. A few minutes later, the manager on duty brought the same burger back upstairs, slammed it down, and asked with an attitude, "What is the problem?" I explained that it was undercooked and that I had ordered medium well. She then asked, "What do you want me to do with this?" while just standing there staring at me. After acting irritated, she asked if I wanted a new burger or wanted "this one" recooked. The idea of them recooking a burger I had already cut into and handled felt completely unsanitary. Her attitude throughout the interaction was awful. I declined a replacement, and she huffed that she'd remove it from the bill. Unfortunately, it got even worse. Just minutes later, an earwig crawled out of my friend's salad. We were horrified. We took a picture, caught the bug, and asked another server to get the manager. When she returned, she walked up with her hand on her hip and said, "Now what?" We handed her the napkin with the bug, and instead of apologizing, she opened it right there on the table, let the bug crawl out, scoffed at us, and said, "Fine, I'll take that off the bill too." At that point, my friend was covering her mouth in disgust after realizing she had been eating a salad with a bug in it. Rather than showing concern or professionalism, the manager snapped, "What do you want?! I didn't put the bug in the salad." I have never experienced such unsanitary conditions combined with such shockingly hostile customer service. Mistakes can happen, but the manager's behavior was beyond unacceptable. We left disgusted and will absolutely never return.

This was our first visit, and I'll admit the discount coupon we had was a major influencer to try…read morethem. My wife was put off a bit when she noticed the sign on the counter warning that "you will be waiting several minutes for your food" but I asked her "do you want fast fish or good fish?". As to that I don't think we actually waited even 5 minutes after we ordered. My wife is not big on fish, she always puts tartar sauce all over it. BUT she does taste the fillets first. We got the catfish (takeout) and after she sampled a piece, she put her tartar sauce back in the fridge! I had taken Jolly's up on their suggestion to let them add their "lemon pepper blend" seasoning before the breading, and WOW that makes some really good catfish. Yes, everything is breaded fresh here, and cooked to order, nothing "kept under heat lamps her - that is why the wait. The fish is lightly breaded, well fried to make a crisp coating, (extra crispy edges) yet moist and flaky inside. So tender that if you stab a fillet with your fork it just breaks into two pieces. As long as they keep making their fish this good we will be back - often! Yes, I do recommend Jolly's fish!

I've eaten here three times now and keep returning because so far the consistency is amazing. I've…read moretried the perch, chicken wings and shrimp. The PERCH is the BEST. It's seasoned well and crispy but fresh tasting and so good. It's not spicy, just has a great flavor. The tartar sauce is a bit sweet and I like it! The surprising star is the FRIES - they are crispy and tasty - some of the best around!!! LOVE THEM. The Chicken Wings are also tasty - so much meat on them. They rival most wing places around here and are so good. You can dip them in the sauces they provide - mild or hot - or ask for something else. They are very accommodating. I also like how they do NOT use styrofoam containers for their food - they put it in bags which helps keep it hot still and crispy!!! Nothing gets soggy. There was a Groupon deal online recently and I tried that and used it and it was easy. So TRY THEM OUT!!!!!!! Oh - the shrimp weren't my favorite. I've had much better. Even at fast food joints. But the other food makes up for it. I would also like to just grab some fries next time. I wish they would have fried okra - feel like that would go well there. OH - and the service has been wonderful! A small place - near the Antique Mall Shopping Area. It's a bit hidden, but if you are at the Antique Mall - just look across the parking lot and you will find it!
