I frequent this JJ Fish & Chicken restaurant location on 8 Mile all the time! I mean all the time...I have their number saved in my contacts. My go to order is one of two things - either catfish nuggets or whole wings. I also opt for lemon pepper seasoning on them. Both come with fries, 2 pieces of wheat bread and a drink. Guess what! I use the bread for a peanut butter & jelly sandwich for later. lol They have canned drinks or Kool-Aid. I go for one of the Kool-Aid flavors as a treat, which is something I do not prepare at home. The service is always good and pretty fast. They also participate with multiple delivery service companies (DoorDash, etc.). The lobby has a few table and chairs for customers, however, I have never seen one customer dining in. There is a mounted TV playing and sometimes music. Make your visit a 2-for-1: In the parking lot, they have a clothing donation box for your convenience for your purging your closet. Tip for signage company: pieces read more

Just ok. Nothing special. Wings and fish. ‍ It's what you would expect from a fry house. Not bad, nothing exceptional. Typical wing joint. read more

My husband bought a Orange roughy and Tilapia dinner last week. It was very good so we went back this week and the service great. The food was still great, I was thinking it might not be good the second time round. But it was. I will be a regular customer from now on. read more

Delicious lemon pepper seasoned catfish nuggets. Fresh and not over seasoned. The only thing I think is ridiculous is having to pay for hot sauce?? Is there a hot sauce shortage somewhere? read more

That white powder seasoning is fire af. This is fried food heaven, what's not to like. Wish I didn't have to order from behind Bullet Proof Glass, definitely knock a star off for that. read more

I love JJ's. 10 pieces of fried chicken and fries for $10.99? Yes, please. Perfect every time. Seasoning on point. Why fry your own when they will do it for you? Open late. Yum. read more

Taste and quality of the chicken wings are always tasty. I have ordered for special events and never disappointed.

They do their thing in there and never let you down. When I say extra crack they know exactly what I mean and how to do it. One of the best chicken places in the city ! read more

JJ Fish & Chicken - Chicken Wings Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

J&j Fish on 8 Mile in Detroit Michigan has the best chicken wings, wing dings and fried fish in town, very crispy well coated. I've had the catfish and the white fish before. This is one of my go to's for chicken, wings and fish. read more

They will substitute swai for catfish so beware. The fish is delicious but I would like what I'm paying for. I don't like to send food back, it worries me about my next order so I just made due, plus I didn't want to have to wait any longer. read more

JJ Fish & Chicken - I ordered catfish and got swai. Not pleased about it. I even checked while there so I knew but not one to complain. It is delicious anyway. - Chicken Wings Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

This place used to be the beat on 8 mile. However, since covid happened it has went down hill. Food is not hot, over cooked, and the potions have gotten smaller. For example instead of getting 2 whole filets of catfish they now cut filets in quarters. i know all the jazz about raising cost because of covid. I'm a culinary/MSF graduated. So I know all about food cost. Instead of lowering prices for the lowered amount of food that is given this establishment chose to raise prices AND GIVE LESS FOOD. I'll take my business to nu wave or captain jays. You guys need to get it together. Food was horrible!!!!!! Probably will never come back to this place again. I wish i could give negative stars. read more

A couple of weeks ago, I was watching a mukbang. And the people were smacking on this food. I had no idea there was a few in michigan...We drove from Ann Arbor, & it was worth it! The food was good,AND HOTT... I could probably skip the banana pudding... All the guys were nice, I think the lady that was bagging my food up might have been nice. She walked away I had no idea where she went. The fried okra was really scrumptious. read more

Food was mediocre...Whiting was cooked too long there was no meat and the wings were really small. Don't get me wrong I prefer smaller wings but these were baby chicks and if I ordered a four piece I should've been given at least 6 to be of some equivalence to 4, Just saying! Catfish was good but somewhat greasy but that's typical with most catfish. My rating is based on a 1st time experience! read more

This is probably my best weekend place to get food. I eat pretty healthy but I love the fish, shrimp and fried okra. The lemon garlic season is just wow..... delicious. I am always very happy read more

JJ Fish & Chicken - Chicken Wings Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

I love their chicken wings they are delicious sometime very small not meaty,but when i want wing's out JJ is it for me.

The food was amazing ! Went there on a Sunday afternoon and it was busy with church folk getting trays of food! Yes , trays of Chicken or Catfish.The wait was kinda long, maybe about 20 mins. I got a lunch special with 2 chicken wings, catfish fillet, fries and Kool-Aid to drink all for $5.99 . Yes, Kool Aid! I have never ordered Kool-Aid as a drink and it definitely didn't disappoint. The catfish and wings were battered and fried perfectly. They even sprinkle this lemon pepper fairy dust all over the food. It's very light, so you may not taste it. The customer service is great as well. The workers dealt with my indecisiveness and gave me all the sauces I asked for. The parking lot looks a sketchy, but the establishment itself was very clean and inviting. I live in PA, so I may never be back to JJ's, but it definitely goes in my book of hidden gems. For all of you local folk, go support ! read more

I've ordered carry out via doordash 3 x - delivery has been great 2 out of 3 times- the food has been hit or miss- one time they sent a cold container of Mac cheese - the wings are usually great but yesterday they were over fried and they forgot the lemon pepper seasoning- so for what I paid, it was a huge bust- it's pricey getting delivery via these services - so when it isn't what you ordered, or not prepared correctly...last time that I'll order delivery and will order in person and check order before I leave read more

Lunch time! What should I eat? Hmmm .... Chicken wings! I checked on Yelp and found this place. Perfect, I have eaten at many JJ fish back in Chicago and very rarely did they disappoint. My trusty GPS found this place easily enough. For those of you who have never been to JJ Fish, this is a fair warning to you. Most of JJ Fish will be in the rougher neighborhoods, trust me I know. I have been to many JJ fish back in Chicago and only one was in a "nicer" neighborhood. When I walked in to this restaurant I was not greeted, that is okay I expected that. I ordered my usual, 6 wings with Arizona Green Tea. This meal cost me $6.81 (tax included) total. The chicken tasted YUMMY, I am glad that Detroit has JJ Fish. I always get mine with the Lemon Pepper. Now some JJ will ask if you would want Lemon Pepper on the chicken and others will just sprinkle Lemon Pepper without asking you, this location did not ask me and that was just fine with me. I think the Lemon Pepper "make" their chicken. Be warned, when you get the wings, they are very HOT. You will get the wings right off the flyer. Cons: the only complaint I have here is the size of the wings. The JJ in Chicago gives a much bigger wings. If you have never tried JJ give a try. Just be careful of the neighborhood and I would not go there when the SUN goes to sleep. read more

First time trying and I will not be back. I Just got my food and food was just alright. I got the large cod dinner since they were out of catfish. Cod was bland no seasoning and nothing but coating. And the fact I ask for tarter sauce didn't give me any. And I got 12 piece of shrimp not a single cocktail sauce. I Will not be back! Very disappointed read more

J and J has good southern style cornmeal breaded fried fish and crispy fried chicken wings. their fish can be a bit salty; so order light salt if you\re health conscious. their fries are soggy and the slaw is from a bucket; but the fish is the reason you go here. they're a bit pricey on Pickerel; but cheap on catfish. the shrimp is in cornmeal and on the rubbery side. best to stick to the fish. they have a selection of cake by the slice and banana pudding for dessert. they also have a cooler of drinks to suit most non alcoholic appetites. call in your order in advance and you'll get it hot. weekends can be busy so a call in always works best. read more

Like this place, my husband and I always come here after a late night at the tigers game and take the food to our hotel, price seem good and the cool aside is fun. read more

I come here to visit family and we always get a platter or some thing for everyone. Two of my friends, both from the east coast, are kind of obsessed with being able to get more of the chicken and shrimp when they come back to Detroit with me. Good crispiness from the friend chicken, good flavor on the fish breading, and you can get a lot of food for cheap. My friend and I went there and got $40 worth of food, and we could have munched on that all weekend between 3 people. read more

The food was well season cooked fresh to order taste great they just forgot my macaroni saladI would definitely order from here again the service was fast it was friendly and the food was great! I also ordered dessert haven't tasted it yet but everything else was outstanding! read more

Solid wing and fish carryout. I would suggest calling ahead. They also have daily specials. I really like the seasoning they put on the food when it comes out. read more

This chicken is the truth! The seasoning is perfect, the doneness is perfect. The quality has not faltered one bit from the many times I have been. The desserts they sell are also delicious! Also the prices, you really just can't beat. Go here for fried chicken, you will be addicted. read more

Love their shrimps & fried chicken wings. I could eat a bucket of wings. Food is hot & finger licking good.

As we all know, our state is in the middle of a surge of COVID-19 infections. I put in an order today at JJ's over the phone. I was told there was a twenty whole wing special for $15.99. I opted to stay in the car and wait for my order to be ready before going inside. I got to the door and noticed too many people inside at one time. There are 6 foot social distancing stickers on the floor inside and there were way too many people in the store to abide by normal social distancing rules. There were people inside with no masks as well. That said, many of us chose to stay outside until the number of customers thinned out inside. I finally got inside and one of the employee waved for everyone to pack in inside. I had to voice my concern about social distancing rules and this guy was still trying to get people inside. It wasn't until I raised my voice that he backed down off of asking everyone to pack in. I discussed over the phone just giving the exact total owed and the employee said they were in the back and couldn't help me there. I finally got to pay and I was charged $21.19. Now, I did order two ranches, but there's no way that the $15.99 special plus ranch and tax totaled $21.19. I payed and left. To the owner of JJ's, please fix this store. Your practices are going to get someone sick and your business fined. I get that when you're getting a lot of business, you're focused on keeping people from walking away from their orders. I shouldn't have to speak up. You should already have a system in place where your customers don't have to be subjected to the potential of infection. You've had 9 months to figure this out. What happened today was simply unacceptable and I won't be back until things are properly addressed. Care about your customers enough to keep them safe. Maybe we're just another dollar to you. Do better. I was order 87 today if you'd like to look it up. read more

This is some of the tastiest and reasonably priced artery hardening, high blood pressure causing food in the city .

This place is amazing and I have been coming here for years because of this reason. The chicken is always hot, the chicken is golden brown, and the lemon pepper they sprinkle on top is the cherry on the sundae. There fries are amazing too. This past Super Bowl XLVI I ordered wings and when I went to pick them up it took 45 minutes for me to get in and out. This may sound like a negative but it is not; the wait was unbearable but every wing that they prepared was golden brown, hot, and by far the best wings I have ever had. Most places would rush the process of cooking the food to get people in and out as fast as possible, but JJ's made people wait to make sure their customers came out with a quality product. BEST CHICKEN PLACE IN DETROIT!!! read more

Straight terrible!! I watch a woman bring In her wrong order from outside, I watch the cooks open the container, season it again, then pack it back up and try to give it to me to now take. I say, "Is that the one she just brought in?" They said "Nah they took it in the back." It's hard to lie when I'm watching THE ENTIRE TIME! It was my first time there ever and will guaranteed be my last. This happen on 8/22 around 6:35pm. read more

Love their chicken. The seasoning they use is noice! Only problem is the staff is a little lazy and ghetto, and they tend to be crowded often. read more

I really enjoy their fried chicken wings and their Catfish made me truly like Catfish! That's the reason I go here-- the Catfish!! I only have to tell them to not put on the extra seasoning at the end because it will be too salty for me if they do. read more
