Fish and shrimp always fresh and good. Always come to J&J when I'm in town. Got a perch dinner and shrimp dinner.

Very nice business best food ever the cashier Sofian is the best customer service I only come spend my money for this place because Sofian is very respectful young man I recommend for this place read more

Really good fish and chicken. Wish they sold vegetable side dishes (greens, green beans, spinach, salad or something.) Fried chicken is good EXCEPT THEY OFTEN DON'T CLEAN THE CHICKEN. LIKE FEATHERS that should have been pulled or burned off. That's really rude and disrespectful to customers to not clean/pull feathers. Otherwise J&J would have gotten one more star. read more

No masks were worn during Omicron era of this Covid-19 pandemic. In a place serving FOOD! An airborne deadly virus and it's not taken seriously. Gloves on only one hand is not acceptable when preparing food !!! I'm disgusted. It also smelled of cigarettes which makes me barely be able to breathe personally. read more

***** 5 STARS FOR LOCATION ONLY ***** This location has been under new management and I give the location upgrade and easy 5 stars, The old prison glass is gone and replace with an open concept and contemporary lighting. The chairs along the wall and the unsightly huge vending machines are gone and replaced with mahogany tables and chairs and faux stone walls in warm beige and brown, Very nicely done. I've added photos of the new location *** 3 STARS FOR THE FOOD *** I can tell that the batter for the fish is different than the old owners. I never get the lemon pepper and I remember the fish being a little more flavorful. I ordered 2 catfish (fried hard) filet and 4 wings The batter on the filet did not adhere to the fish and both wings and fish were flavorless without the lemon pepper. The wings were not good quality like Harold's. Both the filet and wings were a little greasy as well. I've had better food there so I will continue to go but they at least need to add salt and pepper to the food. read more

New front desk person. Yada,Yada ...... Ordered as usual; FOR YEARs. However, this time the order was not quit right. Asked for fish WELL Done.. The fish was not ....Well Done ....that was not the end of the world. HOWEVER! forgetting to put the lemon pepper seasoning on...is a HUGE DEAL BREAKER! I won't be back soon. read more

This was a horrid experience. Went to the JandJ in Lansing Il and they were sooo good. Tried this J and J a couple days later, no flavor, plastic, and over cooked. read more

The food at this location is pretty good. Unfortunately the food is totally overshadowed by the fact that the service here is extremely, extremely slow. If you are ordering perch, for example, be prepared to wait 20-30 minutes. read more

Had got a great deal. 20 wings with fries for 18 bucks. The lemon pepper seasoning is always a hit. We got the pan and it was still fresh and hot. The fries were not soggy and they threw in extra sauce. read more

No issue with the food my issue is with the server not wearing gloves the server/cashier touches many surfaces , fills condiment containers takes our money or credit cards and I never see the cashier sanitize their hands. As customers we deserve a healthy environment surely there are health regulations not in compliance at this store read more

Good food good service. Food is always hot and they are very accommodating with the condiments. I would recommend this location when you just don't feel like cooking & you need some good eats.. lbs read more

Their website is outdated, and I thought I was getting my order of catfish for $25 according to their website, but when I got to the location, my total was $50. After complaining that I wasn't gonna pay that much for all of that catfish that was a party size, the guy took off $5. I didn't have to pay at all, but was nice enough to go with it even though I didn't want all of that catfish. But please don't give me attitude when your website is outdated. Not my fault. Most people would have left, not buying anything. And on top of that, the fish had zero seasoning, not even salt. Not good at all. Asked for lemon pepper, and they didn't give it to me. And, this party pack doesn't even come with fries or bread or anything. I'm out of $25 and yoke on my face. read more

I ordered a large perch and six wings. Both the fish and the chicken was fresh and cooked perfectly. Also, they are adhering to the Center For Disease Control's guidelines in servicing customers due to the Coronavirus pandemic. Lastly, they are a friendly bunch. read more

This location is under new ownership and the quality of the food and service is horrible. I called in on three different times ordering a small catfish steak fried hard and keep in mind this cost $12 dollars. Every time I get home the fish is not well done and I call and the cashier had the nerve to say why didn't you check your order before you left and I said that is your job not mines. Never said they would replace the order at all. I won't visit this location again and neither should anyone else. Disappointed customer. read more

I liked the food better at the Lake Park location better with the previous owners. But, the new owners are faster and more efficient so It's okay. read more

Great food Great service Fantastic Shrimp . I live in South Bend and I come to Chicago every other week to get these Shrimp... A must try... read more

Pros: *it's recently renovated so the establishment appears clean and welcoming *chicken was cooked to order and hot&ready (rather than being left out waiting for someone to order it) Cons: *I've called twice to place an order and it hasn't been ready upon arrival. In fact, they seemed to not register my ticket number. What's the point in calling ahead if they don't actually put your order in? I'm a patient lady, so it's not the end of the world, but be prepared that this could happen *they used to do delivery (years ago). They no longer do read more

i love this place but i did have an issue and know one wants me to contact thr owner or claims they have no contact this is impossible someone has to have contact!! read more

Ooh - I love this place. It's a little gritty, so not a date place, but a nice casual place to grab some delicious, greasy food. Love the fried wings and french fries. Good sauce and they are generous with it. read more

WOW!!!!!!!!! Love the new place... The food is great, the service is awesome. I can't believe that this is the same place. Great Job to whom ever the new owner is!!!! I will go there every day of the week. The food definitely tastes a lot better than before. The jumbo shrimp is the bomb. My friend ordered the fillet and I ate most of his food. They were open on xmas eve. That is a big plus because most of the places were closed. I definitely recommend this place to everyone I know. read more

This dirty, tasteless, poor service restaurant is an embarrassment to fried chicken in Chicago. Further, the owners keep changing their yelp addresses to that ppl don't see the bad reviews. They just did it again. Avoid this place and go to Harold's on 55th. Owners ---man up. read more
