The chicken tenders are delicious and fresh. The fries are also good. I only knock off a star because the prices are a bit high. The coleslaw was good too. Hopefully, inflation won't cause them to be priced out of the market. I will come back soon, when I can afford it. read more

We use to like this late night spot... we went back bc of hush puppies and the tenders "were" bomb... but I just left there, and y'all fried the juiciness out of them tenders. Dryer than... just disappointing. And what in the fish'n is going on here! I thought they just fried the fish hard, but this doesn't look right. And if smell-a-vision was a thing... go there if you dare! Do better JJ. Fish and chicken should be fresh and fried to perfection! I feel sick. read more

Went in to get 12pc honey bbq party wing. On the phone I was told they were $13. I added on an order of hush puppies and was told my total would be $18. Sounded like a bit much but I didn't say anything. I went to get my order and paid and noticed the prices on the menu said $10.99 for the 12pc party wing honey bbq or buffalo. The hush puppies on the menu were $3.99 yet I was charged $17. I let that part slide as well because I had to be at work . I'm driving to work and decided to eat some of my fries . When I opened my food there was no sauce on my chicken at all or bbq sauce in the bag . I called back and began explaining my whole experience and was cut off from talking and hung up on. He then began to ignore my calls and when he did answer again he said I was the one being rude . He also said that the extra charge was for the sauce , tax and debit card fee( which is illegal, consumers only pay credit card fee not debit) and told me to come back the next day for a remake. Not to mention the building smelled HORRIBLE when I went to get my food so that added to the reason I didn't return . That and also the fact that I felt if I did return that something would be done to my food given the rudeness of how I was continuously hung up on. I won't ever be going back . read more

To be honest I was very skeptical about eating here based on the Yelp reviews. However, I was starving and thought I would give it a try. I ordered the catfish dinner. It came with fries and coleslaw. The meal was freshly prepared. I enjoyed the lemon pepper added to the catfish. To be honest the catfish was delicious. The catfish was well seasoned in a corn meal batter. I highly recommend trying this location. I would recommend that the staff tidy up the floors in the dining area is my only recommendation for improvement. read more

Just went again and could safely say, it is one of the best chicken stops in the whole country

Due to poor CUSTOMER service, spoiled catfish steaks, and a cashier & cook calling the police BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T WANT TO REFUND MY MONEY! For spoiled fish, My family and I visited this location today 4-19-24 Trying to satisfy our appetite, this is not our first visit We have been here almost every time we're in town. Unfortunately not knowing that the ownership has changed! (as mentioned by the cashier ) We brought back our order after having a strong odor of ass filling the atmosphere of our vehicle. The fish tasted horrible. Come to find out that it was spoiled. After driving all the way back to the restaurant to return the order for a refund, we was told that we could not receive one do to the manager not being there, we was told to come back in the morning. WE'RE VISITORS, I responded to the cashier and we need to reach out to the manager tonight! Well she made the call to the manager and I guess they gave her the ok to refund the order, Well you would think that would've been the end of it, she tells us she can only give a partial refund for the fish order, I stated no we would like a full refund for the whole order Reason being We DIDN'T TRUST ANYTHING COMING FROM THE KITCHEN or that has been made by there cook. Well things went left and she stated that we should call the police in a rude manner. Just cause I'm black she thought she could just run me off, by saying she was calling the police. After calling the police and literally lying, making false allegations of us being rude loud and obnoxious, the police comes and tells us that it a civil matter. lol And they JJ Fish wants us to leave the property. The police a Sergeant at that , tells us he can't make them give me back my money, and we should just leave it at that. SMH! After knowing they served us bad spoiled food. I really feel that because of my color of my skin, I couldn't get a proper resolution to my problem. I wasn't the only Customer to bring back their fish order on tonight, me and my whole family bought back our order, And the cashier had the nerve to tell the police officer that we told the customers to bring back there order, when we was all together, the customers she was referring to. THIS IS A BAD PLACE TO EAT AT NIGHT, THE COOK HAS NO PROPER TRAINING IN FOOD QUALITY, AND SAFETY THE COOK AFTER WATCHING HIM, HE NEVER WASHED HIS HANDS. AFTER THE CASHIER GOT OFF THE PHONE LYING SHE NEVER WASHED HER HANDS BUT TOUCHED MONEY FROM A CUSTOMER AFTER TAKING A ORDER, AND WENT AND PUT HER HANDS INSIDE OF THE LEMON PEPPER SEASONING. And they TOOK MY MONEY AND HAD US PUT OUT, AFTER TELLING US TO CALL THE POLICE. SMH ALL OBER SOME SPOILED CATFISH STEAKS. THEY TIRED TO Drown the smell with the lemon pepper seasoning they put on the FISH SO THAT YOU CANT SMELL IT. SMH! Only reason it's one star, is because it's the only way I can post my review. SMH read more

Bomb fried food! Chicken was perfectly cooked and seasoned to perfection. Steak sandwich was surprisingly really tasty as well!

Very good catfish. It was clean tasting & delicious. I got a 2 small platter & the fillets were huge. I also wanted to taste the wings & ordered three wings. It was a lot of food & I couldn't finish it. I wish they had vinegar too. I'd eat there again & get coleslaw next time. Fried on fried food needs to be cut with something cold & crisp! read more

I think they forgot the fish in the catFISH nuggets smh overfried and barely any meat. Asked for lemon pepper and all they taste like was unseasoned breading. Safe bc we started going to this one bc the one on Calumet sux... sad to say I will no be back. Waste of money. read more

I've always loved fried food and this restaurant has it all! From the delicious fried fish and chicken to the tasty mozzarella sticks and fries. This location will always be my favorite too the workers are nice and they always get my order right. If I could 10 stars! read more

Service was great. Food was sub-par. I got the 2 combo: perch & shrimp. The shrimp was good. The fish did not taste fresh and had a strange fishy taste. I also got fried okra but those tasted old/frozen and not very good at all. The meal did not come with tartar sauce. I did have mild sauce and it was good. $17 total including a can of root beer. read more

Ridiculous someone was returning their food because it was the wrong order and undone. They tried their best to make the person keep it until the person didn't back down so they returned their money as requested. Their very rude to blacks. Will not, have not been in over a year. Nah, I'm good. read more

My go to for fish cravings in Highland Indiana. Tilapia filets and fried okra is my choice every time. Staff fast and friendly.

We were in town for a family reunion and was looking for a place to eat lunch and found Jj Fish & Chicken and we fell in love. The food was Awesome next time we're in Indiana we definitely will be going to eat there. I highly recommend them read more

First time trying JJ Fish and Chicken and I'm not going to lie. They were great! I looked them up on yelp before going in to make sure that A: they didn't use peanut oil since most fish places do and B: that they have something that I would eat. Both were a success!! They use 100% pure vegetable oil and advertise it all over the store and they had chicken phillys. I ordered the chicken philly which came with fires and my boyfriend ordered catfish bits with fries. Both of us ordered smalls and the portions were huge. They were the size of a large. The chicken philly cost $6.99 and the car fish bites were $7.99. To be honest great price for the amount of food that you get. The food is made fresh and you can see them make the food. It comes piping hot and tastes amazing. I highly recommend this if you are looking for good food in the area. read more

This place is awesome, cheap and perfect for something on the go before or after heading to the CSO or Millenium park. I love the combos and the fries are the best read more

I ordered a large catfish fillet, was told 10-15 mins. I was ok with that. Came back the order wasn't even started. When the cashier asked the cook Moe about it, he just screamed at her in front of another customer with a missing order as well. He screamed if we didn't like it, give them their money back. As she was telling him he shouldn't act like that in front of customers, he expressed that he didn't care. I will NOT be back, especially as I saw they use lard from a box read more

Their fish is great with hot sauce and tartar sauce and fries and cold slaw and the shrimp and fried oysters and the dessert such as the bannna pudding and cheesecake, as well as chocolate cake. This location appears to be relatively new. You have to ask for more seasoning as they are rather conservative with their application. The prices are a tad bit more the other locations. The dining room was trashed when we were there. Only 2 employees in the store. The cook and the order taker. read more

Wing are very small they are the size of your thumb with no season unless you want lemon pepper season

I go to the JJs in Hyde Park on E. 51st Street at Lake Park. The food is always fresh and I always receive everything I have ordered. Great!

Not every JJs is the same. The food is always fresh, speedy service, and friendly staff. Sad to say that I've dropped the sharks near me, and I drive by a JJs to get to this one. Everything that I've ordered has been fresh, hot, and full of flavor. read more

Well...when I ordered, I asked for two wing dinners with extra mild sauce on top. The cashier told me it would be an extra dollar charge for that, which was fine. When I got home, however, there was hardly any sauce on it (not even enough for a normal order. I called to let them know the error, only to find out that the extra dollar was just to put the sauce (or lack thereof) on top...the EXTRA sauce itself would be an additional $.50. I'm kinda out of words for how ridiculous that is, but whatever. I'll just stick to what I know next time: Crystals in Cal City, IL. ‍ read more

The catfish was all batter and not very big at all and very little fries no coleslaw or bread at least to make me feel like I got at least a meal and the counter person is very customer friendly definitely not worth what I had to pay read more

My girls and I arrived at JJs about ten minutes before closing. Although TJ and the cook had started making closing preparations, he graciously took our order. Saved us from a gastrointestinal disaster that is associated with the nearby White Castle! Thanks for treating me and my girls to a delicious meal after a long road trip from Minnesota. read more

This is a newly opened place that serves old chicken, and serves you old fries! While the cashier in the front is friendly, the manager is a jerk! We went back after complaining about the old black chicken they served us that looked like it was cooked a day before, and then the manager had the nerve to try to charge is to replace it. I tried giving them three chances, and that is it for me! This place does not serve fresh food, and their management stands around having personal conversations while there are customers waiting! I will never step foot, walk by, or even drive by this grease trap! Please find somewhere else to go! read more

I love JJ Fish. I always go for the lunch special, because it's still worth it. I always get the catfish fillet and some fries. Fills me up each time! I'm so glad that there is a JJ store close by. Their food is always cooked fresh. There was one in Munster, but unfortunately it did not last very long for demographic reasons, but it certainly was convenient. I'd recommend this place to a friend for sure! read more

Mediocre food terrible service. There were only 2 employees, 1 cooking and 1 packing and answering the phone. The woman's restroom was closed, and I had to use the filthy Men's Room. I will not go there again. read more

Very slow customer service. But their chicken was good. It's a 20 minute wait for 12 chicken wings, and it was little bit packed. Make sure you bring your book and your Starbucks drink with you. read more

I started going here after the black owned location on Ridge closed. They're generally very friendly and the food is always fresh. A liiiiittle pricey, but I'd MUCH rather go here than one in a sketch neighborhood read more

Was the worst to go food ever. Shrimp was overdone. Fries were burnt. And bread was wheat bread from a loaf of bread out a bag. Never again.

Horrible service food was okay nothing special. Very rude employee at the counter and on the phone. When I picked up my order we asked twice is there tarter sauce in the bag the lady's response was yes there is plenty of tarter sauce and ketchup in the bag. Got back home no tarter sauce called them spoke with a rude employee who needs a lesson in telephone etiquette because she hung up on us. We had to drive back in a snow storm to get the tarter sauce and again greeted with a rude silence and a stone cold facial expression where she handed the bag of sauce and said nothing no apology. They sure come off like they don't care about customer service at all I wouldn't recommend this place and I love fish read more

The chicken sandwich here is by far the worst I've ever had. They use chicken patties like the one's you would get from the frozen section of the grocery. I would think for a place that is named for fish and chicken they would at least use the same chicken they use actual fried chicken. It went straight to the trash. read more

My family's favorite JJ Fish & Chicken. The food is fresh and so good. This is my children's treat, once a month and they definitely look forward to it! I even used this restaurant for my daughters prom send off and graduation party. Everyone loved it. read more

Portions small and they overpriced! Got no bread or coleslaw with my dinner and little fries

The food is good but who ever is answering the phone ( today for example 2/2/17) is extremely rude. Answered the phone rude, cut me off with my ticket number before my order was even complete. She sounds annoyed and unhappy with her job. Perhaps the owners should consider hiring someone who actually wants to be employed. read more

My husband decided to stop for a carry out meal at JJFish and Chicken this evening; he has tried their food once before and enjoyed it very much. Tonight his experience was not as great as the last time as they forgot to put his cole slaw and the lemon he requested in place of the sauce in the bag and gave him the hard end of the bread. I called and spoke with the female manager telling her about the mishap with the lemon and coke sale and her response was not what I expected. She said they do it have lemon and that they do it give coleslaw unless you request it. I told her the cashier did not inform my husband that they had no lemon, but that he still expected coke slaw as it was on the menu as part of the perch meal. She then told me that the customers take the coke slaw out and throw it at them and so they only give it upon request. I responded that , they should ask if the customer wants the coleslaw rather than assume they will special request it. She then got rude when I said he paid for it and expected to have it in the bag. She said I could come back and she would give me my 35cents. How rude...I told her that I do not care if it was 2cents. The point was the menu listed it and he expected it. So damn rude. read more
