So, as a Chicago Foodie, and I love my West Chatham Southside neighborhood, this is my close to…read morehome fish and chicken spot. Typical with urban fast food chains, it's at times "hit or miss" and like Harold's Chicken, it all depends on who is in the kitchen and their expertise. This J&J consistently gets it right. I get wings and fish-jack salmon/whiting and perch and cat at times, and it's cooked right, flavorful but you must ask for heavy lemon pepper if desired. They are lenient with the mild sauce and slaw, and cashier and cook staff are pleasant, knowing me by face and they speak and smile kindly. Hate to bring race into it, but other joints don't tend to appreciate the African American culture when they are Arab or Palestinian but this location, I don't get that voice be. Highly recommend! Place is clean and love the see thru kitchen

They never give you enough side sauce but it was good nevertheless. The service was spot on, our order was correct. The fries were delicious too!

All in all, great choice to get some wings and fries from JJ's

It wasn't heavy or caked on like Goose, Dicola or Lawerences. Something changed. Tell me I'm wrong. I've gotten past the nasty lady taking phone orders. Im over it. The south loop location is where i noticed the change so when I went back to the original I was very disappointed. It doesnt even look the same. IYKYK. Imma try one more time though. I don't wanna give up but a new shrimp house might be in the works for 2026

They are on Uber Eats. You can tap and pay. All credit cards accepted. Order in person or call ahead. Order online and there's usually discounts. My only hope and wish: they'd clean the lobby more often and repaint the parking lot lines. You can't go wrong here. Yes, even with the wal inflation we are suffering under this is a good value due to size and costs. They still clean the shrimp well and I tried those spaghetti and never have to have them again. It's just Ragu sauce and sugar or something parallel and that's okay for solks who prefer it. I just don't. Now, I will order them if I am hosting others to round out the meal. Happy eating.

Corn, broccoli, potatoes, rice, and two large fillets, and this was the "small." Wow. What was not so great: One of the garlic butters leaked. The smell was really good. Everything was sprinkled with hot red powder, either pepper or hot paprika. Too hot for me. I will rinse the leftovers before eating. I must be the only South Shore resident who doesn't like hot pepper. Next time I will ask them to leave off the sprinkle. Surprisingly, my husband is still chowing down, and usually he is the one who can't eat hot food. The food really is very good.

I decided on a 10 piece party wing combo with buffalo sauce. For $10.99 it came with fries and two pieces of toasted white bread in total. My only complaint was that I had to pay 75 cents extra just for ranch and ketchup which is sort of nickel and diming you, but the fact that it's salad ranch packets and not actual legit ranch made for wings is what was a bummer. I'd still return to try some other things on their menu! Great seafood selections for great prices!

I will say, that at the time of my visit, there were high school students that were perhaps loitering. After overhearing some of their conversation I felt a bit uneasy. The place could use more security. Otherwise my food was delicious. The chicken was fried hard and they put extra seasoning without me having to ask. I believe they even threw in an extra piece of chicken, not sure if that was intentional or not.
