JJ's Fish & Chicken is definitely a hole in the wall. From the outside, it almost gives fast food and, I'm not gonna lie, it looked a lil ghetto when we pulled up BUT the drive thru line was literally around the corner, so I already knew they had to be doing something right. We went inside and Will helped us, and he was extremely helpful and patient with all of our questions and even our last minute changes. Customer service was actually really good. GIVE WILL A RAISE!!!! The food tasted straight out of somebody's grandma kitchen The chicken was DELICIOUS. Like seasoned, hot, crispy and good. The whiting fish was good too. Everything came out fresh and the portions were solid. There's also this white dust of something on all the plates. I have no idea what it is, but apparently that's their thing. And the lemonade?? THE HIGHLIGHT. It's more like juice than lemonade, but it was GOOD. Overall, it was a very good ghetto combo . The outside might make you question it for a second, but that line around the corner was telling the truth. I'd definitely go back. read more

JJ Fish & Chicken - Chicken Shop Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

The food is just okay,I've been trying them to see if they would get better.The fish need to be seasoned,they ask you if you want seasoning?why aren't you seasoning?They also need to soak the catfish you can taste the wild in it.. I tried the five pieces whiting no seasoning only got one that was of a decent size. The other four was very small. Why can't you be consistent? I would like to support you but with this service I'm not sure if I would recommend you to my family and friends. read more

Banana pudding was too small for $5 and only 1 slice of banana. That was VERY disappointing

The chicken is ok I prefer their fish very good flavor seasoning them put some kind of white powder on the fish and chicken I prefer none The service always fast The ambiance it's a chicken joint you get what you get good food read more

Amazing local traditional flavor! They keep it simple, but the flavors are excellent. Everything is handcrafted. There's multiple occasions around town which shows they're constantly thriving and improving. I really like the catfish fillet tilapia. Fish and shrimp and chips are delicious! They also have fried chicken wings, which is great And I love that you can get fish sandwiches. The cheese sticks are also amazing. Pro tip: order online!! or be expected to wait 15 to 20 minutes. Parking can be difficult. read more

One of the best places in Atlanta to get fish fry. You can get a variety of fried seafood like flounder, tilapia, whiting, shrimp and scallops. They also have fried chicken wings, fried gizzards, etc. Food is always cooked to perfection and never oily. Grab plenty of tartar sauce, hot sauce and other condiments to pair with your favorite combo. Don't forget their refreshing lemonade slush. Delicious! Fast and friendly service. read more

Good, hot, food! Variety of desserts, fish and shrimp. I recommend the Jumbo shrimp, Red Snapper and Flounder. WARNING Usually always packed( so be patient. read more

The one on Pryor St is passing a cheaper Swai for Founder. It was awful! Go to the Metropolitan one.

It opened at 11AM on the dot and I was already the second person in line. After ordering my food line was already at the door. This location is more of a get your food and eat in your car because it's located on the side of a gas station. First time eating at this location and what I love about JJ fish and chicken they are consistent. The inside ain't nothing pretty to rave about but I'm just here for the food and I'm out. read more

no no no absolutely not. Fish was regular I guess, but how YOU DONT HAVE MILD SAUCE???? Like what are we doing. as a Chicagoan born and raised that's an absolute violation. service was ass, the cashier was OVERLY weird and super duper rude. "We don't f*ck w/ Chicago" is crazy. the vibe in there was also damp and cold. Non welcoming. I'll never. read more

Would you like some food with your salt? Maybe I went on a bad day. It was little after noon. Middle of the week. Not sure . Maybe night time food is fresher but the chicken tasted old stale and too salty . Not fresh or maybe overcooked?. Sodium stroke attack. That can't be good. I might give it another try in the evening. read more

I have ZERO complaints.. I ordered the food and drove home 23 minutes away and the food was still hot! It was fried to perfection, it had the crisp and seasoning like the Lord himself made it. I have heard a lot about it and I was glad to try it. The customer service was typical Atlanta? That's why I'm giving 4stars instead of 5, but the food was superb. Go there to get your food to go, not to have a good time ! read more

This spot serves the best fried chicken I've ever had. Everyone I know calls it "crack‑chicken" because it's that addictive. The crispy skin, juicy meat, and that mysterious white seasoning on top.....whatever that is ...... make every bite unforgettable. read more

JJ Fish & Chicken - Hard as h___ - Chicken Shop Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

This place was a typical fish fry joint that we had in NYC & Jersey... It reminds me of back in the day. The fish is on point and delish. I would definitely come back. read more

A national treasure of a business. I try to stay away from fried foods these days, Lord knows I do... BUT. A craving is a craving. And recently I found myself craving some fried fish and wings, and I only wanted them from JJ's. So that's just what I made happen. With so many locations around the city, this location was closest to me at the time. I decided to order online and it was such a smooth process! I ordered and scheduled my pickup time for about 10-15 minutes later. Located in a plaza next to a gas station, this place was on swole lol. It was super easy to get a parking space out front though and there were a number of spots still open on the side of the building. Now, there was a lot going on in that parking lot but to me, like the guy selling toilet paper packs and body wash lol, that just showed me that I was in the right place. The interior of the restaurant may not be much to see, but it isn't made to be a seated dining establishment. There are no chairs, just ample open space, a kitchen you can look into, a table where you can season your food, a table full of condiments and a bathroom in the back. That's it, and that's all they need tbh. There were about 10 other folks inside and everyone was patiently awaiting their orders. The menus were on display and super easy to read if you didn't know what you wanted to order. Lucky for me, I ordered in advance so I stepped into the 2nd line to pay. The checkout process was super smooth and I was given a number + a ticket, and told to listen up for my number. I feel like I only spent about 6-8 minutes waiting for my food as I people-watched and looked at the wall art that looks like it was fresh out of '91 lol. I was listening for my number and didn't hear it. Luckily, I was looking towards the kitchen and the gentleman who was calling numbers looked me directly in my face after calling a number and motioned for me to come over. I swear he didn't say my number but I went over anyways, lol. Low and behold, it was my order! How did he know it was me? lol. He gave me the biggest smile and reassured me that it was my order, making sure that I saw where to get condiments to go. I ordered a catfish + 3 wing combo and swapped out the fries for fried okra and baby. WOW. What do they put in that batter?! I added extra seasoning on the way out (because, duh! You can't leave without a little extra) and I swear that I'll never get tired of that flavor. I've had JJ Fish & Chicken a number of times but I think this was my best yet. Portions were plentiful, the food was incredibly fresh and stayed hot for my entire drive.The fish was perfectly fried and flavorful, super crunchy. The okra pieces were huge and the wings were not little baby pieces like I often come across these days. I really can't rave enough about this location! read more

Good, fast service. The cold slaw is served in a tiny condiment container so if you like that sort of thing ask for extra. The food was fresh and yummy. I wish the to go containers were breathable so the food could remain crispy and not soggy... so eat it quick. It's a dingy gas station spot... but it's super clean and fresh inside. read more

The food is ok They have to add the Ranch Sprinkles on it to enhance the flavor, I'm fine with that plus the prices are very reasonable. Will u be back yes because there's a location right up the street read more

If you want chicken, fish , fries, slaw, fried okra, or Hush Puppies this is hands down BEST place to get my goodness it was great! I will drive from South Carolina just to eat here! You will not be disappointed. Did I mention if you leave hungry from here it's your own fault! Fresh and awesome100/10 rating from me and my family! read more

The fish was full of salt sprinkled all on top along with the bagged onion rings. Fish didn't taste like soul food type fish. The customer service was great. I will not recommend!! read more

Some of the best fried fish and shrimp I have ever had. The batter was light. The seafood was fresh. Whatever they sprinkle on the top of the food is delicious. Food did not take long to prepare. Service was average. No ambiance. Keeps your head up. I wouldn't go at night. read more

Ladies, please be careful. This location appears to target women. The security guard even has a social media page where he posts videos of himself confronting women inside the restaurant. In these videos, the women are not provoking him--he initiates the situation by pushing, yelling, or escalating things just to get a reaction. There are also instances where he becomes physically aggressive, seemingly to record and post for attention and views. This is a very unsafe environment, and it seems that some employees may be aware or involved. Police reports have reportedly been filed regarding incidents at this location. Please stay alert and prioritize your safety. read more

The best food ever . I travel from LA to Atlanta just for this. The food is very fresh and well seasoned. The staff are welcoming and very fast. read more

Amazing food! Quick service - at a gas station but it was ok. The customer service was also great.

The chicken was ok but the fish was super good. I also liked the hot sauce it wasn't watered down

Loved the fried chicken and fried whiting combo. The only thing i didnt like was the frozen lemonade flavorings. Ruined the drink.

I ordered a 3 piece whiting combo and 3 piece whiting and chicken combo. The wait was not long at all. I was so disappointed in the food. They rely on that white powder that they put on the food so much, that they don't season the food AT ALL. My fish tasted the way that card board boxes smell. The smell of the fish was horrible too. They use that powder as a replacement for seasoning. Please have your employees season the food so the food can be enjoyable. I don't know if the fish was bad or what but it didn't smell good at all. read more

This is an Atlanta delicacy! I ordered an 20 pc at the window and it was cooked to perfection for my party. If you love your chicken fried a little crisper than normal this is your spot. You must use their special seasoning to complete this experience anytime you order from here. Their service was quick for the time it was ordered and filling. read more

You can't go wrong with JJ! Clean fast and yummy! Service is great also!! My favorites are the shrimp and wings! They sprinkle them with crack dust which i don't know what's in it but it's delicious. I suspect salt and sugar both not healthy but who goes to JJs to be healthy! Their wings used to be really big but i guess like all places now they are smaller :( read more

Food was good. Reasonably priced. We tried the fish, wings, fries, nuggets. I wanted the cake but there was a critter around the glass (all places have them ...sooo) read more

it's free of flies this time, and a lot cleaner. This is a very homeless area, a lot of addicts hang around and it can be very ghetto. If you are a person that is bougee then this is not for you. Food is fresh and very good. I love their fried mushrooms, they don't fry hard even if you ask for it. So you will get regular fried chicken, the soft fried and the fries are nasty to me. read more

This place has been around but, I never tried it. I tried for the first time & it was delicious! I got the shrimp & catfish & both were well seasoned, & cooked crispy like I like! I definitely would recommend! read more

Very tasty, I really enjoyed the flavor of the catfish and the fry chicken and chips. The crack dust brings it to another level 9 out of 10 recommend. Only problem I had was the wait, that part of it was a bit unorganized. That wouldn't stop me from going back tho lol read more

First off, let me say I am a chicago native and loved JJ's in the city. This however was an abomination to Italian beef sandwiches everywhere. I asked for dipped extra wet and it was dryer than a popeyes biscuit! The shrimp were decent but the mild sauce is bland with no kick to it at all, the cake were horrible and tasted worse than store bought. I will not be going back! read more

Don't be scared of whatever is going on outside. Pull up, hop out and get in line for this delicious a** chicken and you must sprinkle the seasoning on top. Extra!!! Everytime. I don't care what part of the hood I have to go to, I'm not scared. I'm getting my chicken and dipping out. Thank Me Later!!! read more

I'm not from ATL, but every single time i go, I always make it a point to come to JJ's. This is the best chicken/fish joint I have been too. Looks janky, but that's the whole point. 10/10 read more

This food was worth the hype !! Loved it, service was efficient, the ambience was ehhh, however it was great food regardless

Worth the wait and the location itself is not attractive but it's what you'd call a "hole in the wall"! It was Really good! The fried whiting fish, jumbo shrimp and chicken wings is what we ordered. Definitely not the healthiest but it was fantastic! The seasoning they use to boot on top really tops off the flavor! There is extra seasoning on the front table use it! Soooo good! read more
