Came here for the first time for lunch. Great experience. The man at the register welcomed me with a smile, was attentive, and friendly! I got mozzarella sticks, jalapeno poppers, catfish large, and red snapper large. Mozzarella sticks: 7/10 Jalapeno poppers: 7/10 Catfish: 8.7/10 Red Snapper: 8.7/10 Fries: 9/10 read more

I mean....it was OK. Definitely a busy place on a Friday night. They was slanging that food! I ordered the 3 way with catfish, shrimp and a crab cake and chicken tenders & fries for my son. The food was hot and fresh, but lacked real seasoning other than salt. Hot sauce was definitely needed. Lots of desserts to choose from in the front case. The restaurant was clean, bright and well organized. This is a strictly take out restaurant. read more

Well, let's say it could have been better. Jambalaya was a bit too salty to finish. The boss lady loved the fish. Said it was tasty and flavorful. May have to order something different next time. I will give them a second chance since I love me some soul food. read more

This is a pretty decent place to satisfy your fried fish and shrimp craving. I was satisfied with my order. I haven't tried all their desserts and extensive menu. So give them a try if you haven't already and see if you find a new favorite place. read more

Ok my daughter loved the food. I ordered prawns and wings. They gave me 4 big prawns and 3 pieces of chicken. Cost was $21. I also ordered a lemonade which was $3.99 and that was hella good. Service was amazing. Ambiance was mid but service amazing it can be overlooked. I do wish they gave more wings and prawns that's why I give it a 4. read more

I ordered the catfish fillet with fries and it was incredibly fresh and delicious. I haven't had fish in a while, and this definitely hit the spot. The portions were huge and well worth it. The service was excellent, the atmosphere was welcoming, and I really love the new location. I'll definitely be coming back again whenever I'm craving fish. read more

Let me be honest. I'm from Richmond, California, and I've eaten at j j's for quite some time, I had their peace cobbler before and I noticed that it was kinda rushed. Once I opened the container, I asked the question, where is the crust? When I looked at the dough, it is uncooked. Doy I'm really disappointed at JJ for trying to pass this office peach kabla out of 10 stars. Negative 5 negative 8 matter of fact out of 10 stars. It's just negative 10. Please take your peach cobbler off the menu. You're going to make somebody sick. Is real disrespectful? And I feel Appalled by the lack of respect I feel you do this out there like if they buy it, they buy it. If they they don't, I don't care well for a person that liked peach cobbler.I care and I care if you don't have this on your menu.If you wanna serve it like this. Yes, I tried not to give a star, but it wouldn't let the. Review, go through without giving one. So I have to give you one, but just note it doesn't deserve a star period As a matter of fact, just to be sure, am I supposed to cook this peach cobbler or this is what you called cook peach cobbler? Because from the looks of it, I'm asking the question. Now, do I have to put this in the oven? Or am I supposed to eat this like? You sell it read more

JJ Fish and Chicken - Peach Cobbler - Soul Food Near Me - Antioch, California

This is my family's go to when we cannot decide, then everyone is happy! I always get the prawns and snapper with fries

Nice to have good fish and chicken in the neighborhood. Shrimp are tasty and the chicken wings are delicious

The best catfish in the world service is always great and the place is always clean I would recommend anyone

Three (3)strikes you're out! on all occasions JJ'S fish and chicken food was overcooked and dry at the Antioch location and the so called sides is horrible the potatoes salad was under cooked hard potatoes with the taste of vinegar that was used as part of seasoned very watery, the so called banana pudding had no banana in it just vanilla waffer cookies and pudding, red velvet cake old and dry,the canned collard greens Nasty the fried orka was like popcorn so everything we purchased went straight to the garage can.Although JJ'S fish and chicken is a food change now I've been to different locations which includes the East Coast and the Southern states and theirs no comparison.Their's plenty room for improvement at the Antioch location. read more

Love a good chicken or fish plate. I have come where the chicken has been awesome and other times where it was lacking (felt like i got rejected meatless wing pieces). Hit or miss here. Location is a little sketchy but if you're in and out you should be ok. read more

Food was really salty And I put salt on my food BUT this was really salty. I'm glad I didn't put salt before I started eating it

The fish is delicious and perfectly cooked! I ordered online so am not able to speak to the service or ambiance however the over the counter employees were very, very friendly! Good food at a great price! read more

I am so glad that this location is here now. I ordered almost $140 just to try a bunch of dishes that they offer. The red snapper and white fish were my favorite. The fried chicken, my son loved and the french fries were nice and crispy with special seasoning on them. They also have a lemonade with several different flavors you can add to it was a nice touch. But the jambalaya wasn't so much of a hit for me right along with the mac & cheese. I had to go back a week later for the fish combo and the service was good, the guy there was funny with a lot of humor. I know it's new but the inside was just as clean the second time I went as the first time. I will go back to try something different read more

The customer service is horrible.I went in to pick up an order I placed and the guy at the counter was soo rude.I said I would not be back there ever!! He needs sum lessons on how to treat good paying customers.One day he will be rude to the wrong person and he will not like the outcome. read more

I been going to Jjs for years i'm so happy of the new location, love this place and the food has never let me down but my recommendation will be Red snapper/Scallops and Jumbo Shrimp and lets don't forget the Gumbo I can eat that all day :) The manager its also a great guy and loves to help you out! read more

The food is always on point but the crew that work there has always been friendly, helpful and quick. A+

Generous portions. Oh man the fish is phenomenal with the tartar sauce. Will definitely eat there again.

This is my go-to spot for fried fish and chicken in the area! The owner is incredibly kind and always provides excellent service. I'm so glad they've moved to a safer location--the restaurant is always clean, and the food is consistently hot and fresh. My favorite things to order are the 4 wings, snapper, and jumbo shrimp. Don't hesitate to give them a try! read more

I went there last night and ordered Catfish and prawns. I took it home and ate it. The food wasn't bad as far as taste. But got to tell you, it gave me the runs all night. So I have to conclude, either the catfish or prawns or both were spoiled. I don't know what you guys are doing with the food prep or maybe frying in old oil, I don't know. But you guys gotta tighten up! read more

So glad they are now by Luckys haven't had JJ's in years food was great well seasoned ready on time. Clean restaurant very nice employees will be back read more

We love this place. We always get the fried catfish and fries. The catfish is always fresh and crispy. If it is too crispy, you can ask them to fry it softer (which older people enjoy). The tartar sauce and hot sauce are also great. For sides, we like the beans and rice. The cakes are good too - especially the red velvet. Highly recommend. read more

Honestly at first me and my husband liked the vibe and then a girl employee I had asked a question and she kept going on she even was leaving customers unattended to try and prove a point to us I think she has bad customer service and needs to be more kind to people and the chicken was ok but the Mac and cheese was bad honestly thank you read more

Love their catfish nuggets. I can't get them to stop giving me french fries and bread. It would be nice if you had a choice other than french fries. read more

Regularly order here via DoorDash. Always fresh and well cooked. The sides are not the best though. Suggest getting the French fries over everything else. read more

Gotta leave a good review just cuz I been coming here for years appreciate yall moving OUT OF SYCAMORE lol yall were the only reason people even went there good fish n chips but their lemon packets are poop they don't taste like lemon at all idk what's in there but I can literally drink the entire packet and taste no lemon. So idk.. but good food read more

I ordered catfish nuggets, chicken nuggets, greens & okra. Greens - 4 outta 5 Okra - 1 outta 5. Way Overcooked, they were like eating popcorn. The only flavor present was the seasoned salt sprinkled on top Chicken nuggets - 1 outta 5 they're for uncaring kids. I tried one and threw the other 17 in the garbage. They tasted freezer burned and looked like the frozen ones you can pick up in a bag at Walmart 100 for $2. Catfish - .5 outta 5 where do I start. Again way overcooked. I know this is subjective but the skin should've been removed. They appeared to have been a couple hours old. No seasoning and just horrible. I threw them away also. I expect these places to better serve the communities they're in but too often they aren't held accountable. Do better... read more

JJ Fish and Chicken - Skin-on old, over fried catfish nugget - Soul Food Near Me - Antioch, California

Pretty hard to mess up fried chicken but they have. Quality is very low for the money that you're sending.

The JJ Fish and Chicken at the new location does not serve the same quality of food from the previous location which is ironic given it's in a way better location. The chicken wings were not as big and overcooked along with the red snapper. The quantity is less and let's not even talk about those mini party wings. I was just disappointed and letting anyone who is familiar with this chain know to not get your mouth set on those big chicken wings they had before. read more

In and out place is just for pick up but food hits everytime especially when the manager is there. Food comes out quick also. In hood but if you don't bother no one they will not bother you simple. read more

This was the first time ordering thru Grubhub. The food was awful. I ordered the jumbo shrimp and catfish nuggets and scallops. One side of mac and cheese and it wasn't cheap but certainly a waste of money!! All of it was soooo salty I couldn't eat it and it ended up in the garbage! Never again, sorry! read more

Quality and quantity worth the price. Highly recommend. We tried the fried snapper catfish and shrimp all so good. Kids absolutely loved the macaroni and cheese. read more

***NO STARS*** I don't know why people love, love chicken but here's why I love, love , love chicken and enjoy eating it so much. 1. crunchy 2. crispy 3. flavorful 4. juicy 5. easy to cook ‍ My first experience here at this location was my last. The chicken was at least A DAY OLD it was hard and EXTREMELY dry. It was so close to being CHICKEN JERKY it was that doggone chewy. The coating (flour) was so pasty it left a bad taste in your mouth I don't know if it was even coated in flour maybe it was something else nonetheless it was AWFUL. The chicken on the inside was very BLACK with nasty bloody veins that had burst and made it so DISGUSTING to even look at it. It had no taste at all. They also served boneless chicken thigh which I have never had a FRIED chicken thigh and would not have ordered it but it was included in the order without my knowledge. I write this review being a little reserved because it's NEVER my intentions to deter anyone from trying a new business. This is MY experience and I choose to share it. On this day they did not provide good service. I spent $30 and it went all in the trash. I don't ask for refunds or replacement food I either choose to not patronize a business or I may give it a second try and hope for a better experience. But this was not what I had looked forward too. Here are my top choices for fried fish or chicken this area Pittsburg, Antioch, Brentwood NOTHING BEATS HOMEMADE 1. Las Palmas (Pittsburg) "fish" 2. La Raza Market (Pittsburg) "chicken" 3. Winco (Pittsburg) (baked chicken) 4. Popeyes (last resort) read more

Good food, as expected of fried fish it was fried and tasty. Service was quick and courteous and the portions are pretty big. I had the snapper and catfish in the past and collard greens were good. For a quick deep fried food I recommend. read more

Happy they reopened customer service is great food always cook perfect great for inexpensive seafood and chicken and many others items great location read more

Fish is good, but not too crazy about the sides. Location is sketchy, but so is the location of every JJ establishment that I've been to. I really wish fries weren't automatically a part of an order. Not everyone wants them, and by the time one gets home with their food, the fries are cold and inedible anyway. Give customers the choice of what they would like to accompany their protein. read more

Any food restaurant or chain. Should conscious of selling cooked or preseasoned food in a majority black/Hispanic community that it's salt . I'm definitely not in favor of precooked fries either. Especially when they are seasoned. People in these areas are living with pre diabetes, pre high blood pressure, diabetes and high blood pressure. read more

JJ Fish and Chicken - Fish was fresh. Most previous posts the food looked bad. And I mentioned it to the gentleman behind theBut it was way too salty for me. - Soul Food Near Me - Antioch, California

Pretty good catfish and fried oysters. Two points off for ambiance. Located in Sycamore plaza- a lot of people are loitering near their cars during the day. A lot of traffic and I saw a drug deal go in while waiting for my order. read more

The catfish is GOOD! However this place seems to be located in the hood, no matter the location. But this specific location has a hood infestation. We went to pick up our food and these dudes was playing dice out in front of the place. Who does that? Don't get me wrong, I'm from LA, but I'm not with this!! I had my kids with me and still didn't feel too safe. Now the Mac & cheese that we picked up- TERRIBLE! My step mom had to try and doctor up this mess!!! Smh So the 3 Stars is for the fish and the people that work there are cool!!!! read more
