    Chicken Tenders Dinner
    Tristan L.

    Door dash order. Fire chicken, crunchy and pull apart tenders with better than average batter. Fries were the way I like: potato-heavy with crispy edges and a decent seasoning. Sauce that came with it was ok, bread needed some jam. Looking forward to trying the catfish, too!

    Lemon pepper wings (6) with fries and cole slaw
    Sonya M.

    I hadn't been to this JJ Fish and Chicken location in over a decade. I don't usually eat chicken wings or greasy food in general. But I wanted to do a taste test on the wings in preparation for a party I was planning. If I liked the wings then they'd end up on the menu... I ordered pickup via Uber Eats and my order was ready in about 10 minutes. The gentleman behind the counter was pleasant and eager to assist me. My food was also hot and ready to go when I arrived. I ordered the 6 piece (lemon pepper) wing dinner with fries. It also came with cole slaw which I didn't eat. The food smelled greasy and honestly I'd wondered if the grease they'd use was old. I didn't have high expectations, but the food ended up being ok. Nothing spectacular, but decent... The lemon pepper seasoning was a little heavy on the wings, but they were cooked well and tasty. The fries weren't very good though. They were a bit soggy and definitely appeared to have been fried in old grease. Either that or they'd been sitting under a heating lamp. They were edible enough though. Overall, my experience was okay. I might be inclined to go back someday, but the food definitely wasn't party worthy by any stretch of the imagination.

    Large Lemon Pepper Catfish Fillet w/ fries

    Regardless of the area or sketchiness you might have in a certain neighborhood you can not go wrong with JJ's hands down it's good for fried catfish fillets make sure you get lemon pepper and mild sauce. Just to be warned this is not a sitdown restaurant. Do not come expecting to be greeted with a handout menu, make sure you know what you want once you do step up to the window and place your order. You'll be fine!

    2 piece perch, 3 piece wing, fries, toast
    Darian J.

    I decided to try this place since it was coveniently located close to where I am living currently. It is in a super sketch part of Bronzeville (the windows are bulletproof) so I was nervous the entire time I was inside the restaurant. Good thing I ordered ahead so I could just pay and leave. The transaction was quick and easy. I ordered 2 piece perch 3 piece chicken wing dinner with double fries and a piece of red velvet cake. HELLO CALORIES! :) But I have no regrets. The fish were perfectly seasoned and moist, tasted fresh too. The chicken was also perfectly seasoned and juicy. I love the lemon pepper they sprinkle on right before they serve it to you. Gives it a nice zing to the flavor. The fries were average. The toast was blah. They need a better roll instead of a piece of grilled white bread The red velvet cake was STELLAR! I don't think J&J makes the cakes though. Whoever is the owner of Bess Cakes, you are wonderful! Dense, chocolatey, smooth with homemade icing. You could tell there were no box or cans used to prepare the cake. All in all a great experience. Some have complained about sub par "ghetto" service. Realize where you are and judge accordingly. Sorry, the harsh reality.

    U-shaped "catfish"
    Jewell S.

    My "catfish" is shaped like a U-shaped sea urchin :-/ super dense & dry. Not the juicy lemon pepper sprinkled fish I was hoping for. Shan't be returning to this location.

    $5 two piece catfish fillets w fries & coleslaw, tasty!

Our server, Jacob, was helpful and his recommendation of the Lyonnaise Potatoes did not disappoint. We had the small whale, an aged ribeye sandwich, and I got the filet mignon with bone marrow butter. The chilled seafood was delicious, especially with the house mustard sauce. My partner said the steak sandwich was the best they ever had. The filet was easily the best steak I've ever had though the dry-aged ribeye at Abrasado in Mendoza, Argentina is a close second. The grand martini was a perfect pairing for the chilled seafood. They threw in a complimentary brownie with ice cream for a bday dessert which was appreciated on multiple levels. We're not affluent and a meal like this was definitely a splurge but I have zero complaints and would 100% come back for a comparable special occasion. Everything was perfect and I'll remember this meal forever. Thanks, Joe's!

She was very attentive, especially given the amount of people enjoying the delicious happy hour service! The food itself was exactly what we were looking for. The oysters were fresh, the mignonette an excellent pairing as always. My partner, who is the expert of everything french fry, absolutely adored their thick cut fries. They were perfectly crispy on the outside, and balanced very well with the light appetizers. The calamari was a very fresh take on a classic. The sweet tangy thai sauce was quite a surprise, and although I wish the calamari itself was more crisp, I couldn't help myself but go back for more! Im sure the crab cakes would have been better fresh from the kitchen, but I admittedly let them sit while I started this review. If it's any consolation, here's a note from my southern belle herself "now those are some d*am good crab cakes."

Well, it is kind of tucked away in a desolate area on Canal Street, but still. One of my good friends suggested we check this place out after hearing about it from a co-workers. The only thing I know about Vietnamese cuisine is pho (which for some insane reason, I've never had) and banh mi, which I tried (and loved) while visiting my fave cuz in the Bay. . I arrived early to this very large, beautifully decorated venue on a Tuesday night and was intrigued by the set-up. One side was all tables, the other side was tables and multiple gigantic screened tvs playing Family Feud and the World Cup games. Kinda crazy. I chose to sit on the big screen side while waiting for my date. He called to say he was running late and to get the order started. I had been waiting a bit, so i caught the eye of one of the workers, who came right over. He was so friendly and accommodating and answered all questions. I ordered the green Thai kumquat iced tea, spring rolls and the chicken wings he highly suggested. He rushed off to place the order. Moments later, a couple of distinguished gents walked in and sat at a huge round table cater-corner from me and soon thereafter the nice man who took my order sat down with them. I'm assuming he was the owner for obvious reasons. I gained more respect for this establishment because customer service goes a very long way with me and he obviously cared about that. Our server, a very friendly young lady, brought my drink out and I was surprised to see that it was served in what looked like a sippy cup, with a cartoon design on the lid. Kinda weird seeing as I am an adult, but it was a tasty beverage, nonetheless. My friend showed up as the spring rolls and chicken wings came out. We devoured both, which were delicious and then placed our orders. I went with lobster noodles and my friend got the beef tenderloin pho. Even though my entree presentation wasn't the best, it was a very tasty dish to both of us. The beef tenderloin pho was definitely the star of the show! The broth was fragrant and flavorful and the beef was tender beyond measure. I'm an avid ramen fan but this pho definitely had my attention and I can't wait to try more. Ocean Bar and Grill is such a cute, quirky place that caters to date night diners, groups and families. They were all in there that night and everyone seemed to be having a great time. I know I did. I'll definitely be taking my daughter when she comes home from her summer internship!
