Run, down and get you 2 of everything. Well done read more

I ordered two of the two piece fish meals. I order the two piece fish meal and replaced the bread with cornbread. My wife ordered the two fish meal. I requested the "catfish" and chicken. It came with fries. First, that definitely wasn't catfish. Not sure what kind of fish it was. The fish was dry and too salty. The fries were too salty as well. My wife ordered the catfish and calamari as her items. The fish wasn't catfish. The fish, calamari, and the fries were all too salty. And the corn bread was dry and old.This was experience was a complete waste of money. read more

When you walk into this place, you can see flower in this in the stench of old fish all in the back I've already called the health department two times about this place when I first came out here to Fairfield. I'll start going to this spot. The soup taste completely different from the spots in Oakland and it's because they're not cooking the shit. They're throwing batter and flour on the food in your frying it just enough to get a crisp on it I had diarrhea and I threw up twice eating his food. They need to be shut down immediately before somebody passes away from eating it. read more

We ordered 2 catfish combos, small and large. My husband' also ordered some cakes aswell, coconut cake along with carrot cake. Although I felt the salt could have been reduced the fish was delicious, loved the outside batter had a perfect crisp. The fries not sure how they make it but some of the best fries I've had even though they are plain old fries. Will definitely be back ! read more

To serve raw fish is mind blowing when you are a fish joint! Do better. Fish was still wet on the inside, pink, and liquid. You can food poison someone. The Mac and cheese was dry and tasted like Kraft waste of money and will not return read more

So glad I finally got to try them out. Food was delicious. Although everything was fried. I didn't taste or see much grease. Everything was fried in clean oil you can tell. No burnt or browning around the edges. I was surprised by how well they battered their fillet fish. The coating is thin but just enough and fried perfectly. I like how they coat their fried chicken too. No over powering battered just a light season and thin coating for that crunch. Everything was flavorful and not over doing it. It's already fried so it was pleasant to enjoy. The portions are generous. The menu has a variety of options which I liked. I very much enjoyed my fish combo. The fish was cooked well. The jumbo shrimp was bomb! Juicy and huge. Service was nice. The lady upfront hooked us up with the sauces. So many I couldn't tell which was what. No complaints though because I love sauces. lol Mac and cheese side order was just okay for me. My partner very much enjoyed it. It's on the more waterier side of melted cheese. It tasted good but consistency wise, it was wet. Don't pass on their cakes abs desserts!! They have options for everyone. Loved the banana pudding. A little too over powering on the banana essences but if you get a good bite with the loaded amount of wafers, you're good. Place was well kept clean. read more

Chicken waaaangs!!!! Always a go to for get togethers and parties. Can't go wrong with JJ's!!

The restaurant was clean and looked decent. The service was pretty good, I had no complaints. The food smelled good, and looked good, but it was not very good. The fish was dry and seemed old, and had a very fishy smell which could mean that it was bad. The fires was nothing to talk about either. I only gave it 1 star for the service. But I probably won't be returning. read more

Today we had the sole and jumbo prawns with fries. The sole was fried soft as requested, and was really enjoyable! The prawns and fries were good too. Condiments included tarter sauce, vinegar, and hot sauce. The tarter sauce is like Thousand Island dressing but its ok. I wish the hot sauce was spicy hot. Its pretty mild but has a nice flavor. They have desserts that look pretty good - cake, banana pudding, etc. We didn't try any but will next time. The lady working the counter seemed very nice and efficient but didn't intervene when someone cut in line. Its a small restaurant sandwiched between other businesses inside a small outdoor strip mall, and sits back off the main street. Overall, and better experience than my last encounter. Definitely plan to give them another try. read more

Over priced, batter was nothing special. Fried oysters were bland tasting, fries soggy and boneless chicken tasteless

Order was wrong and nobody at the place would pick up the phone. I ordered no fries and mac salad on the special instructions on theDoorDash app but nobody read them. After I saw my order was wrong I tried 7 times to call but nobody would pick up the phone so now Im stuck with this food. read more

Bought a six piece chicken last night went home woke up in the middle of the night with severe diarrhea. I will never go there again.

Somebody back there not showering I had to turn right around and walk back out, please practice hygiene.

What a huge disappointment. I was craving some catfish and since I've ordered here in the past I thought it would be good. Totally wrong. Food was packaged poorly. Zucchini fries were upside down in the bag and soaked the entire bag with oil. Was super soggy we couldn't even eat them. The cat fish was "okay" but I only had one tarter sauce out of the 9 sauces they gave us, whyyyyyyy ugh so I literally had to go to the store just to buy tarter sauce such a shame. If you give 3-4 catfish per order provide more tarter sauce! Fries were just okay we make better fries in the air fryer. The fried chicken was a let down. Spent almost $60 on this order and couldn't eat much of it since it didn't taste good. What a shame. Not sure if they switched cooks or owners but it tasted like it was just made lazily. Will never ever order food from here again. read more

Clean spot and very friendly staff. Food was made to order and piping hot! Portions will have you feeling stuffed and is fairly priced but bland in terms flavor. I'd give this place a 5 out of 10 for average. Great food after a night of drinking but nothing I would crave. read more

This is my go-to spot for hot, fresh fish! I got the shrimp and fish combo. The fish was crispy and perfectly seasoned, and the shrimp were juicy and full of flavor. Everything was delicious, hot, and cooked just right. I'll definitely be back! read more

10/14/2021: Did you notice my screenshot of J & J Fish & Chicken's Menu and also, I took a screenshot of my receipt as PROOF I bought my three-combo seafood and a bottle of Coca-Cola here?! Please keep in mind, my first visit to J & J Fish & Chicken was located in Stockton CA: Comparatively, the Fairfield CA J & J Fish & Chicken was alright . . . STILL, I waited fifteen minutes for my combo but, this Fairfield location didn't give you a bread roll nor cole slaw accompanying the traditional French fries for the three-seafood combo meal; Fairfield J & J Fish & Chicken only provided French fries, malt vinegar, and salt-that's ALL! Furthermore, Fairfield's three-combo seafood serving was skimpy, aka, snack-size whereas Stockton's three-combo seafood was A MEAL, A DINNER, and definitely NOT a snack! As a result comparing locations, IMHO, Stockton CA J & J Fish & Chicken has Fairfield CA J & J Fish & Chicken put to shame! read more

Cook FRESH Fish and STOP serving DRY & CHEWY Fish, dont OVER cook the shrimp and Layoff the SALT

I called in my order for dinner tonight. I ordered a 3 way Combo. With Fried Sole Basa & Scallops, I also asked for the seasoned flour batter versus the corn meal batter because the corn meal batter is gritty IMO. What a difference in batter. I wished they would have a wet batter like fish & chips considering it's quite similar. Out of the fishes I chose the Sole was quite thin compared to the Basa which was a lot more meatier. The Sole was almost paper thin causing the fish to be hard IMO. The BASA doesn't disappoint and neither were the Scallops. Fries were good but a little salty this time. My overrating for JJ's is 3.5s!! Needs a little improvement here and there for me to give a better rating. read more

Chicken - Good Fish - Gooood I mean c'mon what not to like? Their chicken tenders and fish are cooked perfectly. It's juicy good. Their servings are big and their flavors are packed. The front man is always nice even though they are crazy busy. I guess the only thing bad is their location. The area looks pretty sketch. If you're scared to go there, just order for delivery. read more

We've never had a complaint about JJ's until now. They have a new AI ordering system that won't let you talk to anyone. Our order was short two pieces of fish and the fish was dried out. Tried calling several times just for the phone to keep hanging up. read more

I had planned to eat Thai food in the same shopping strip, but J J fried food aroma got me! Glad I was open to trying a new place. Their menu is stacked with all things southern, shells, wings, fins and gizzards. I decided to use my go-to when trying a new place, I asked the staff what they like.. Fried Red Snapper combo meal, side of slaw, order up! Nothing like satisfying all the senses, smell, sight and taste! Did I mention the crunchy texture of freshly fried fish to order. I will be back to try their chicken wings, fried okra and gizzards. Yes ma'am, yes, sir!! read more

Seafood gumbo without any seafood. Only chicken and sausage. Flavor barely tastes like gumbo. Nasty

Compared to the other local locations I prefer this location. Ample parking, stool table or table seating available. Combo orders, or a la cart, side dishes and desserts all in one location. Friendly counter service and be patient for the wait. Clean tables and location is kept fairly tidy. read more

In the past if I reviewed JJ Fish and Chicken I would have given them a 2 stars. However, I give a restaurant at least 3 tries before counting them out. JJ Fish and Chicken actually improved. That can only be due to listening to customer feedback. If you listen to your customers you will always succeed and your restaurant business ultimately wins ! This is my third time coming in to JJ Fish and Chicken. They didn't overcook my fish like the first time I visited. Their tartar sauce improved too! I just wish they had sweet potato fries as an option to regular potatoes. However, in all, keep up the good work JJ Fish and Chicken!!!! read more

Unfortunately, this visit resulted in dry catfish and and dry chicken wings. Neither had flavor. The nac n cheese had no taste whatsoever. The poor gumbo was full of rice and two small pieces of dry crab. I was so looking forward to some good food tonight, but this was not it. I'll see if I want to come back another day. I spent over $50 and threw most of it away. read more

I had fried chicken on the brain and hubby had fried catfish in his...so JJ's it is! We doordashed since we weren't feeling like picking it up. I was pleasantly surprised to be honest. When we rec'd our order, the food was still piping hot! Not to mention my fried chicken was perfectly seasoned! It came with fries and some bread- I could do without both though. I was feeling some white rice so bam, it was just a great meal overall. Hubby loved their fried catfish- also comes with bread and fries. There are other options of items you can add (for an extra cost) I actually couldn't eat my full order. Leftovers became a delicious lunch meal the next day. (Used my toaster oven...still crispy and sooo good!) We'll be ordering from JJ's again! Week 7 of quarantine- support the food industry! read more

Anytime I wasn't some good fried fish, this is my go to. JJs is a staple. I've never had an issue any time I've ate here. Their deserts are really good too. Specially the red velvet cake read more

Went there on March 6th 2025 at 1:00 p.m. . I had the catfish dinner. It was excellent. I will be back

Worst fried chicken ever, not sure if there is new management or new cooks. Wasn't my first time but will be my last. All I tasted was SALT..... didn't taste like any chicken I had ever gotten from here before. Waste of money I'd love a full refund! read more

Old chicken wings: the texture of fresh cooked chicken and old chicken is totally different. This chicken was hours old. Could have been from the day before. Old fries: fries were barely warm Old bread: Both pieces of bread was hard and crisp My food was not freshly cooked. It was cooked a long time ago and they may have threw it back in the oil to heat it ... It was horrible and I didn't have time to go back!!! I picked it apart and tossed it. I do not recommend read more

Food is good but not sure if I got what I asked for. Ordered a small Sole but the fish definitely didn't taste like Sole. Thought it might have been a minor mistake but the person I was with ordered Catfish and it definitely wasn't Catfish. They both were fish but not what we ordered. Oh and cake is not moist at all! read more

The food here is hands down delicious. The service is great and the food is made fresh to order. The ambiance is nice and clean.

In the past they served large, high quality chicken wings. Today, I was served very small wings. BEYOND DISAPPOINTED!!!

Your picture is deceiving on DoorDash pictures. I saw the picture on the menu and expected to get what I saw in the picture but I got McDonalds chicken nuggets. If I wanted Mickey D's, I would've gone down the street. It's cheaper and not soggy. I know better to make the extra trip to Vallejo for JJs. read more
