    I felt like I died and went to fried fish heaven. The best catfish ever and the seasoning is fantastic.

    Fried catfish and shrimp combo - It was good but on the salty side
    Shayla B.

    ***3.5 Stars*** Here comes JJ's with that fried fish and shrimp!!! It is quite smackin' if I shall say so myself. Traditionally, I'm more of a beer battered and tempura fried fish kinda gal. But JJ's?! Yeah... they can get it. They just need to tone down all of that damn salt and we'll be cool. Stopped by for dinner about a month ago and I made it in line before the crowd came in. I ordered ahead but they still make you stand in the same line as the walk-ins. Not the best setup here, but what can you do? People were social distancing while waiting in line which was good, but of course the line was out the door. Took a while to get to the register but got my food as soon as I got up there. The lady at the register is also the same person answering the phones too. They could definitely benefit from having another body back there to help. Ordered the fried shrimp and fish combo and the portions were nice and big. Both were nicely battered and tasted relatively fresh. But damn, waaaay too much salt on them thangs. Like a whole salt shakers worth. Next time I'll ask them to tone down the salt if they can do it. They give you hella fries but they're average. I don't think they have cocktail sauce here. Definitely ask for extra tartar because they're kinda skimpy with it. They have all kind of desserts here too. One of the ladies that I was talking to in line told me that all of their desserts were the bomb. She recommended the banana pudding and of course I ordered it. When it comes to banana pudding, you ain't got to tell me twice! That sh*t was SOOOOOOO damn gooood! Mmm mm MMM! Them nilla wafers, that creamy puddin'. Yep, homegirl put me up on game. The damn dessert was better than the fish and chips! If I was in the area and had a craving for that pudding, I'd come back here pronto. But anyways, the fish and chips were still good. Not the best, but better than many other places that I've been to (minus all of the salt). Oh yeah, I should probably mention that the parking lot was full and this place is in the hood. But, don't let that deter you. Just park illegally like everyone else did and avoid the nutcases that try to approach you on your way in and out of there (shrugs shoulders). Would I come back again? I would if I was in the area and had a craving for the frieds and/or that puddin'.

    the taplia fish is old taste old look old i spent alot of money on this i was wonder y it tasted like this

    the food did not taste good taste like it was freezer burn i will not be eating from them again for a long time i called the man hung up i should of went to fish king best

    We came as a party of 7. Great ambiance for happy hour!! $1 oysters and fun drinks (but we didn't…read moretry this time). Note that there is a limit to 30 oysters per table. I really like how they let you build your seafood experience exactly how you want it, from the type of seafood to the seasoning and spice level. The only thing was I think the spice level could've been kicked up a notch. Our table ordered a mix of oysters, garlic noodles, Cajun fries, shrimp, crawfish, mussels, which came with corn, potatoes, sausage and hard boiled egg! The seafood was fresh and the sauce coated everything nicely without being overwhelmingly salty, and the corn and potatoes soaked up all the seasoning. All for a very reasonable price if you get the combo, which comes in 3 different tiers! The oysters were a standout--fresh, briny & I loved all the different sauces like horse radish and cocktail on the side. I do wish the fries were a bit more crispy and could've gone heavier with the Cajun seasoning, but that's personal preference. The atmosphere is casual, lively, and perfect for big groups. If you're looking for a customizable seafood boil with fresh oysters, fun drinks, and plenty of options to build your ideal meal, Rockin Crawfish is definitely worth a visit

    I was very disappointed with my recent takeout order. Before placing my order, I specifically asked…read morewhether the crawfish were live, and the waitress told me they were available. Based on that conversation, I expected fresh live crawfish, which was available Tuesday when I ordered from DoorDash the previous time. After I got home and opened my order this time. it was clear that the crawfish had been frozen. If the restaurant serves frozen crawfish, that's fine, but customers should be given accurate information when they ask directly about the product right? I feel misled because I relied on what I was told when making my purchase. Transparency is important, and I hope the restaurant does a better job communicating with customers about whether their crawfish are live or previously frozen. VERY DISHONEST BUSINESS SMH.

I will definitely come back here again since my boyfriend left his burger, and I had his fries and they were tasty and crunchy! And I definitely love the lemongrass chicken vermicelli!

    Absolutely wonderful experience here for a last-minute birthday dinner…read more We didn't have a reservation for a Saturday night, but did not have to wait around 5:45pm for a party of 2. There is plenty of seating inside, by the bar, and outside in a heated patio. I ordered the spaghetti del Trabocco, as I love seafood and pasta, but have food intolerance to onion and garlic, which has always been challenging for me when going to Italian restaurants. However, the waiter informed me that this dish has no onions or garlic at all! I have never yet encountered a pasta dish with no garlic/onion and was beyond exhilarated that I would be able to order this dish. My husband got the lasagna, and we both ordered drinks. The drinks came out within a few minutes, along with yummy bread, vinegar and olive oil. The entrees took about 10 minutes to come out but they were well worth the wait. The scallops in the spaghetti were so soft, the shrimp were large, and the pasta was cooked to perfection. One of the clams was slightly salty but it did not ruin the dish. My husband enjoyed his lasagna as well, noting it was fulfilling. The best part of the night, was when I asked for a tiramisu to celebrate my birthday. Having tiramisu cake on my birthday holds personal sentimental value to me. Apparently, when the cook isn't busy, he'll come out and sing Happy Birthday to you! The cook was busy when my cake came out about 10 minutes after we finished our main dishes, but the waiter came to sing instead and he was wonderful, topping off the night to say the cake was complimentary. I was almost brought to tears by the gesture. The tiramisu was delicious, devoured too quick, even my husband approved, and I have been thinking of it ever since. I am so appreciative of how they made my birthday dinner a wonderful experience, the service, and the delicious food. Would definitely recommend and come again.

Took a little break because my last dining experience was not that pleasant. The bartender/server had some kind of attitude and completely ruined our night out. A year later, I was craving their delicious butternut squash ravioli and I couldn't resist. We dined in on a weekday afternoon and sat at the bar. Brenda was our server and she gave top tier service. Totally made up for my previous experience. We couldn't find this pork belly appetizer that we'd always get. Turns out it's not on the lunch menu, only on the dinner menu. But Brenda knew exactly what we were talking about and placed our order right away. The beet salad never disappoints. And that ravioli dish was so good, I must've licked the plate clean. I ordered a blood orange soda which was crispy and refreshing. And my partner ordered the ferrari margarita, which never disappoints! Brenda was on top of everything and totally made our dining experience one of the best ones yet. I love how there are different sections to this restaurant. There is the main dining area, stool seats right in front of the kitchen so you can see all the action while enjoying your meal. There is an outdoor patio and a bar section, which is our go to when there is room for us. We'll definitely be back soon!

Would have preferred bite size chicken pieces. Tasty dish though Mac n cheese: too cheesy, but delicious. I love that was made with shells. Chicken Fried Oyster Mushrooms: by far the BEST fried mushroom situation I've ever had. Well seasoned, balanced amount or batter, and friend to crispy perfection. This dish took me. Shrimp (and something) Chowder: I'm still dreaming about this chowder. I could not believe how flavorful it was. I hate to say it was the best thing we ate, but it was definitely the most surprising...and most delicious. lol I will slide though to pick up chowder and biscuit. That's all you need. Dessert: I forgot, maybe an upside down cake. My friend loved it. I don't like sweets so I can't really speak on it besides it looked hella good.
