While waiting on a tow from Advance Auto Parts to get my car serviced, I realized that I was starving and bored of sitting in my car so I decided to head over to JG Chicken & Seafood. Although the exterior wasn't calling my name, the online menu and Yelp reviews let me know that it was worth the quick walk over to kill some time. Upon entry, JG looks like a seafood spot. Nothing too special or fancy, but it got the job done. There were over a dozen tables and booths inside, more than enough seating for hungry patrons. When I visited, there was a party of about 5 people, a group of 3 on their way out and a pair sitting inside eating lunch. The menu offers a variety of fried seafood options, wings, desserts and more - a little something for everyone. Prices weren't super cheap for the combos, it was actually interesting because they were all $15 or so across the board with very little variation, lol. The seafood dinners on their own were a few bucks less, pretty reasonable. I opted to keep it light as I knew I shouldn't be loading up on fried food and went with the 3 wing kid's meal with fries, coleslaw and a soda. In less than 10 minutes my number was called and my order was ready. Let me say - it was delicious! My meal was hot and fresh out of the fryer which was perfect because I decided to sit down there and eat. The fries were a big surprise as they were thick with a little extra batter, not soggy in any way and delicious. My wings? Fabulous. I opted for seasoning and their special seasoning was more lemon peppery than expected, but I loved it. The wings were perfectly fried, moist and a great portion. The gentleman who took my order was also extremely helpful and welcoming, definitely a great customer service experience. All in all, I'm glad I decided to wait for my tow truck here and happy I got a great meal while I did so! read more

Fries not fresh. Fish previously frozen. Bad slaw. Nasty hot sauce. You can tell the owner isn't American because of the quality. I'd assume this is a recent business purchase read more

Customer service. I order from them through Uber eats and they had the driver call me and say they don't have what I order in stock. Then told me to cancel. Once I canceled they charged me the full amount. I gave the restaurant a call and they said they can't do anything for me I need to call Uber. -I am very disappointed because I order from this place at least once a week. So to experience this it just make me feel so invaluable, like I never want to shop here again. They treated me as if I was asking for the impossible. As if they gave me something. I got nothing but paid the full amount. read more

JG Chicken & Seafood - Fried whiting, jumbo shrimp & fried okra - Seafood Near Me - Mableton, Georgia

The food is very tasty. The fish is cooked when ordered and the sides are always fresh and hot. Prices are very reasonable for the amount of food you get. We have tried the catfish, whiting, wings and chicken livers. They aim to please the customer with great customer service. I am new to this area but this will definitely be my choice for fish and chicken. Very clean inside even the restroom!! read more

It's pretty good. I ordered via Grub Hub for dinner last night and the fish was nicely flavored and the jumbo shrimp were delicious. I think you have to order additional sides separately, including okra or coleslaw, which I'm not really accustomed to doing but I understand that now. I also ordered a slice of their sweet potato pie which was also quite good. They have delicious food and I see what the hype is for. I'm a fan. I'm definitely going to try other options on their menu quite soon. read more

Greeted as soon as I came thru the door.... I like that. Once she finished up with the other customers, she helped my hubby and I decide what would be best to try first since we're newbies. I ordered the Catfish Nuggets and Sweet Corn Nuggets. My hubby had the Catfish Fillets and the Nuggets and Chicken Wings. EVERYTHING was cooked fresh and EVERYTHING was good. I am very happy that we decided to give them a try. If you love fried food, then you really need to come here. They specialize in fried food.... from fried Mac n Cheese Bites to Belgian Sweet Waffles, so many things to try. We will definitely be back soon. There's plenty of parking and plenty of indoor seating. On a busy intersection in Mableton. read more

I am soooo satisfied with this order. The catfish nuggets reminds me of the ones you get from the you get from the concession stands a the little kids football games. Everything has a good corn meal batter, just like grandmas. The fries are really good. They arent the nasty frozen crinkle fries everybody else has. They also cooked and served our food fairly quick. The coleslaw was a good size and it tastes like KFC coleslaw. Now that lemonade... THAT MF LEMONADE BABY! Ima just say get the cotton candy lemonade if you want to! You gone be back for 2 more cups mmmkay. I had to take baby sips because I wouldve swallowed the whole drink in 30 seconds. It had little ice Crystal's in it and everything. Highly recommended. read more

This place is down the street literally and I have been driving past it for months. We decided to order some fried catfish nuggets and shrimp for dinner last Friday night and it was very good! The only thing I did not like was the coleslaw cause it was very dry. Why can't people get the slaw right? Lol Anyway this place is worth a try and is very inexpensive. read more

Mrs.kellies attitude and customer service was top notch and food was hot and amazing thank you!

My sister suggested this restaurant and we decided to stop today. She ordered the 3pc wings and I ordered the 3pc wings w/ 10 shrimp combo and a piece of fried perch. OMG!!! My sister made the best recommendation ever. Their customer service is spot on, which could serve as a deal breaker for most businesses. The ladies working that day were patient in taking my order and attentive to details. Now, let me tell you about the food. Everything is cooked to order. The food was not only hot and fresh but ohhhh so delicious. The shrimp, fish and wings were all fried to perfection. I pray that the owner decides to place a location near the Midtown/Buckhead area. I will definitely be visiting them again very soon. Oh and you'll start eating in the car because it's that good. read more

Food was delicious and my server was very warm and friendly. Fish was crispy and tasty and so were those nice jumbo wings.

DON'T GO!!! Terrible customer service. We placed our orders as you see on the receipt. We waited an hour and when we noticed that people were leaving that came in after us we approached the counter. I asked did you call us and the cashier says "That's not my job." In shock I say excuse me. We asked for a manager from another employee he said well if y'all didn't hear her that's not our problem. They would not give us a manager name. When we walked in he was arguing with another customer. The receipt says Matt but the cashier was a white female at the counter says "I know it was them but that's not my job." This not our first time having a bad customer service experience. Honestly This place is a knock off of JJs. R-jabs down the street is better!!! read more

JG Chicken & Seafood - Chicken Liver Meal - Seafood Near Me - Mableton, Georgia

Hubby and I stopped by while we were in the area! So the place was relatively clean... some of the tables needed some attention. The two ladies at the register were nice. You could tell one of them was in training. But we kept them laughing... our dood was prepared fresh so the problem I have and reason k had to take off one star was because of the lack of attention to detail. My husband ordered 3 pc tilapia and since I had already eaten and wasn't hungry I just decided to add one piece of catfish to his order. Here's the issue... usually and I'm sure is the case here establishments charge more for catfish. Which I don't mind IF O ACTUALLY GET CATFISH!!! They gave our food to us with all the fish being talapia. I guess either they didn't pay attention or decides to do what they wanted and thought or hoped that we wouldn't be able to tell the difference. Well I'm here to tell you I CAN DEFINITELY tell and was DEFINITELY disappointed! Because I do not care for talapia at all this was my one and only complaint! When people ask for certain things given them what they ask for it may be for a specific reason they are asking and even if if isn't it's not for you to decide. Perhaps it' was just an oversight. Needless to say we kept the order because we just didn't feel like the hassle. Yes I'll probably visit again but make sure you check your order before leaving. read more

I love JG! This food is fresh and well seasoned. I had the 3 wings and whiting combo. Everything was so good. The fries are good too! This place was suggested by a friend and it is similar to another fish and chicken spot I love here in Atlanta. I will definitely be back! read more

THANK YOU Zee! Food was great and is all gone. We are from Minneapolis but live in Iowa. Finding good fish and chicken is our personal mission and we found it while visiting GA. The Hush puppies were too good and I didn't expect it. Missing 1 star bc I ordered macaroni and cheese and received the bites. But everything else on point. The lemonade is a must have. Sis I ain't gonna lie I must figure out how to make it bc when I get home I'm gonna need that! for the food, the service, and sharing read more

Filthy. Low rating of 84B. The lowest I've seen so far. I'm not going back here until it becomes somewhat clean.

The best fried chicken in town, hands-down. The restaurant does not smell the best on the inside but The food is beyond delicious at a good price. read more

This place seems popular but the food lacks taste. Seems like everything is cooked in the same batter. Good variety of fish selections. Captain D's has better flavor. Don't know why this section of Veterans Memorial has so many similar restaurants? read more

1st review! Surprised looking at the reviews! This place is the closest to Chicago style fried chicken! I wish they had more chicken options outside of the wings. Plus more side options outside of the current fried. Hopefully they'll come Soon in the 2nd review! I deducted my stars because even though I frequent this place often, my last two experiences have been terrible! This time I asked for my flounder and shrimp to be well done! Not only was it wrong, it was under cooked! This is the 2nd time this happened! I noticed different cooks in the kitchen as I arrived 8/7/19 at 8:30 before closing! I made it extremely clear on my order! Plus tipped! The fish was extremely bland. Unlike my first few visits! Work on the cooks! They're turning your regulars away! read more

Customer service was very knowledgeable. The cook is pleasant and clean. the food was delicious. They give you a lot of food for the money I ordered catfish there's a special kind of seasoning they're using that I love it's savory. read more

The people who work here are extremely unpleasant and unprofessional. The ambiance is dirty. The kitchen looks nasty. I will not be visiting this place again and will not recommend. read more

First visit since opening was great! Food was very hot and fresh. Customer service was excellent! Go for the food, skip the dessert. Ordered Swai 3 piece meal, Whiting meal, Banana pudding, and sweet potato pie. Swai was delicious! Perfectly fried and well seasoned. Excellent option for people who want fish that doesn't have a "fishy" taste. A meal comes with fries, bread and a small cup of coleslaw. I personally loved the fries as they were delicious large, thick, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside fries. Fans of thin and/or crisp fries may want another option. Whiting was okay, maybe it was just because we ate it right after the swai, which was excellent, that nothing could live up to it. Whiting was well cooked and seasoned but it's fried with the skin on so it does have a pretty "fishy" taste. Should have completely passed on the desserts. Banana pudding/fluff is just whipped topping mixed with pudding mix and has a few bananas spottily mixed in and also has mini marshmallows and is covered in a layer of vanilla wafers. I wasn't a fan of the whipped topping, I love a good thick pudding. Sweet potato pie was a slice of frozen manufactured pie. It was good for a store bought pie but you'd be better off swinging by Walmart and getting yourself a whole frozen Patti LaBelle pie. Service was good and even though it was busy with a fairly long line, things moved quickly and the service was great. The only small negative blip from a service perspective was the fact that we had to ask for tartar sauce and then after asking, with 2 large meals purchased, we were given only 2 of the tiniest cups of tartar sauce I've ever seen. Next time we'll just ask for more. For a brand new business, we were super impressed and will definitely be back. Great addition to food options in the Mableton area. read more

This place is solid. Quick Service, reasonably priced food and nice sized portions. The fried ocean perch & fries were on point. I had the 5 piece and wifey had the 3 piece. Our total was only $17.00. However, they should be ashamed of themselves for those little ass Cole Slaw servings. Smh. My friends loved the fried chicken. read more

My daughter and I went for lunch last Monday. I'm a restaurant owner my self so I was exited to support. We go out to eat on most Mondays. When I tell you it was a waste of $26. The chicken livers aren't seasoned at all. The corn nuggets were cooked to hard with no flavor. My daughter had the shrimp and fries. She had to wait till they made cocktail sauce.Her fries weren't crispy at all. Only thing that's good is the frozen drink. I did inform the cook the food needs seasoning. We were both very disappointed and still hungry after we left. That seasoning they sprinkle on top needs to go on before you fry the food. Chicken livers have a distinct taste you have to season them. I'll go back for the drink that's Update I went back to try the lizards again . Yes, they added more seasoning to the flour. I also ask for extra seasoning. Third time back there up to the Chef liking. read more

I liked it. The cashier was nice and polite, took her time to explain the lemonade flavors. The crew in the back were communicating, making sure to get the orders right. I got a 3 piece whiting combo. The fish was decent, the fries were good, but they need to stop playin' with that baby sized coleslaw. Please stop by and try for yourself. read more

I really do like this place. The last couple of visits, I noticed my slaw container, that is already the smallest size, is only halfway full. Is this really saving you that much money? If someone says they want slaw, after you ask, please don't insult or cheat them by giving them a couple of bites. It gives a negative perception of the value you place on your customers, perhaps thinking they don't notice. read more

JG Chicken & Seafood - Coleslaw before I started eating. - Seafood Near Me - Mableton, Georgia

Update to my last visit, increasing score due to changes were made. . They increased the size of their cole slaw to a more normal side. They also changed the recipe a little for the chicken. It had much more flavor and was crispy. Customer service was better in the form of pleasantries. They do still have some work to do though. I get that white bread with fish is a thing, but it's still straight from the bag and this time it was stale. The prices are still a little high. They need to pay more attention to dining area. Floors were extremely sticky and most tables were dirty. read more
