This was our first visit, and I'll admit the discount coupon we had was a major influencer to try them. My wife was put off a bit when she noticed the sign on the counter warning that "you will be waiting several minutes for your food" but I asked her "do you want fast fish or good fish?". As to that I don't think we actually waited even 5 minutes after we ordered. My wife is not big on fish, she always puts tartar sauce all over it. BUT she does taste the fillets first. We got the catfish (takeout) and after she sampled a piece, she put her tartar sauce back in the fridge! I had taken Jolly's up on their suggestion to let them add their "lemon pepper blend" seasoning before the breading, and WOW that makes some really good catfish. Yes, everything is breaded fresh here, and cooked to order, nothing "kept under heat lamps her - that is why the wait. The fish is lightly breaded, well fried to make a crisp coating, (extra crispy edges) yet moist and flaky inside. So tender that if you stab a fillet with your fork it just breaks into two pieces. As long as they keep making their fish this good we will be back - often! Yes, I do recommend Jolly's fish! read more

I've eaten here three times now and keep returning because so far the consistency is amazing. I've tried the perch, chicken wings and shrimp. The PERCH is the BEST. It's seasoned well and crispy but fresh tasting and so good. It's not spicy, just has a great flavor. The tartar sauce is a bit sweet and I like it! The surprising star is the FRIES - they are crispy and tasty - some of the best around!!! LOVE THEM. The Chicken Wings are also tasty - so much meat on them. They rival most wing places around here and are so good. You can dip them in the sauces they provide - mild or hot - or ask for something else. They are very accommodating. I also like how they do NOT use styrofoam containers for their food - they put it in bags which helps keep it hot still and crispy!!! Nothing gets soggy. There was a Groupon deal online recently and I tried that and used it and it was easy. So TRY THEM OUT!!!!!!! Oh - the shrimp weren't my favorite. I've had much better. Even at fast food joints. But the other food makes up for it. I would also like to just grab some fries next time. I wish they would have fried okra - feel like that would go well there. OH - and the service has been wonderful! A small place - near the Antique Mall Shopping Area. It's a bit hidden, but if you are at the Antique Mall - just look across the parking lot and you will find it! read more

The jumbo shrimp are awful. They're definitely not jumbo shrimp. It's a lot of breading with a tiny little shrimp inside just terrible. They need to either fix it or take it off the menu. And what little shrimp there was tasted fishy. The owner needs to go to Bob's Shrimp and try what jumbo shrimp truly are! read more

Jolly's Chicken and Fish - Dine are - Fast Food Near Me - Highland, Indiana

I don't remember the last time I had such delicious fried chicken. We got an order of wings and fries, and an order of dark meat and catfish. The dark was meat was so moist! The wait was a little longer than expected, but it was alright. The football game was on so I wasn't missing much. The food was hot and fresh. This place is going to put other fried chicken places out of business if they keep this up! Very delighted to have such a good chicken place nearby. Only reason it wasn't five stars is because the girl that took our order was indifferent. No pleasantries. Didn't seem to want to be there. Regardless, we'll just be back for the food. read more

It is pretty good I got the chicken wings and really enjoyed them the sauce could be improved a little but other than that great service I recommend. read more

The perch pieces were large and I got 3 of them. I didn't know about this place before today but it was amazing! The perch has a nice spice to it and was extremely soft and moist. The jumbo shrimp were actually jumbo!! Awesome portions and very tasty. Mild sauce for the shrimp was crazy good. read more

**DID NOT TRY THE FOOD** Leading off by saying I didn't eat here so this is not a review of the food. I attempted to eat here but wanted to wash my hands/use the bathroom. There is no public bathroom and being told to go to dollar store meant I left and never returned. The woman behind the counter was not rude but wasn't nice about either. Just know while they have tables not really an eat in friendly place . read more

Fish was on point, tasty and cooked just right. Only downside lack of seats. Great customer services.

Catfish chicken combo Made to order for maximum flavor and texture. Slow down and enjoy the food. read more

Great fried chicken with multiple flavor combinations. Anytime I'm in the area Jolly's is a must!

I agree. Please don't rush the process. The perch reminds me of home . The order taker was great.

Do you all have a new cook? My chicken was not done ,, so upset. I used to love you all,, please don't lose your consistency,, especially being a black owned business read more

The food was ok ,it was most definitely made to order three wings and fries and a Pepsi for $13.44 and about 20 minutes. The young lady who took my order and left before my order was complete. I spoke to her briefly and while ordering she asked my name and I asked her for hers, making her become distant. This had to make her feel uncomfortable as she was walked out by the owner who stayed outside until I left. I was never interested in anything but my food and took some offense to their behavior, when I called the owner was unavailable. The place was clean had ample amount of seating, the garbage can even had "thanks " on it. Food C for taste as well as amount Service F -, Ambiance C read more

Best chicken spot around, quality of everything was really good, seasoning and the crispiness was on point. Wasn't overly greasy at all, just what you'd expect from fried chicken. Definitely will be going back and hope more people find out about this place and ditch nasty Popeyes... JJ's, sharks all those are out of the question once you try Jolly's!! read more

This is a terrific family-owned business. You can really tell that the owners care about their food and their customers. I can't wait to try more menu items. read more

I have ordered for my family several times. The customer service was great, they answered all my questions and recommended items. The food is cooked FRESH. My family loved the well seasoned catfish and large wings. The jolly sauce is like tangy sweet heat and refreshing in the midst of so much mild sauce. Jolly's has been consistently delicious and the prices are reasonable. Sorry I didn't take photo but trust me it's golden fried to perfection. read more

Jollys chicken has the best Fresh Chicken and fish!! not only is it fresh but its not greasy. The Staff was very the friendly. You might also want to try The JOLLY SAUCE it is Everything read more

I've visited this restaurant multiple times and each and every time the service and the food has been A1! Always fresh always tasty. They focus on the service and accuracy part of the business. So much so, that during my last visit, the owner thought my order may have been incorrect, and went so far as to contact me to ensure it's accuracy after if already left! In this day and age of "get whatever you get" a company that focuses on servicing the needs of the customer is one that will continue to get my business. If you're ever in or near NWI visit them. You won't be disappointed. Keep up the good work Jolly's, you have a customer for life! read more

I can't say enough good things about this place!!! I ordered 100 pieces of chicken for my son's wedding shower. They sell legs, thighs and wings but I also wanted breast, because it was a wedding shower and although I prefer dark meat a lot of people prefer white meat. I know breast meat is not on their menu so I asked if they would oblige. Not only did they oblige but they hit it out of the park!!! That chicken was awesome and done exactly the time I told them I needed it. I know graduations are coming and I'm here to testify they can handle big orders, not to mention the staff is incredibly friendly and polite. Thank you Jolly's!!!! read more

My favorite new place. I had the fried perch and chicken wings and they were both delicious. The perch was VERY good. Nice crispy coated moist flavorful would definitely recommend. Tasty. read more

The chicken wasn't seasoned at all and it was extremely overpriced. Maybe i went on a bad day idk. And the girl that was at the front counter was on her phone the whole time i stood at the counter and waited for her to finish her text message before she took my order smh wasn't pleased read more

I never leave reviews but this place earned it. Had the battered chicken strips and catfish dinners. Both were awesome and put JJ's to shame. This is my new go-to fishwings joint. read more

Only reason I'm not giving it a 5 star is because I've only tried a few items from the menu. BTW... what I have tried deserves 5 stars. Walked in and noticed that restaurant was very clean. Definitely important for me to consider even ordering. The young lady behind the counter politely greeted my wife and I. Which is a very nice detail many establishments have gotten away from. We ordered 2- 4 piece dark, 6 piece chicken strip and a large order of shrimp as the order was "to go" to feed the family. The food were in containers for about 15 minutes. The includes travel time home and serving. Both the chicken and the shrimp maintained a nice crunch. The seasoning of the breading was delicious. The ratio of breading to protein was perfect. Not to heavy where as you feel your only eating fried dough yet not to light where it's missing texture. The shrimp were jumbo and delicious as well as the chicken. Cooked perfectly, juicy and not greasy. Personally I love crinkle fries so it was nice for me, that is the type of fries they serve which BTW were very good. Some may say "you can't mess up fries" but yes it's possible. These were not soggy, greasy nor hard. Fresh made with a nice texture and seasoning. Make sure you have both mild and hot sauce. Both were great and combined correctly.... YUMMY. Great customer service, friendly people, great food and fairly priced. Give this place a try, you'll only regret not trying it sooner. read more

Delicious, crispy and super juicy chicken! Loved the batter and crunch. The French fries were also wonderfully seasoned and had their own crunch. read more

SuperBowl Sunday was my first visit....it WILL NOT be my last!!!!! I just found my new chicken & shrimp joint! Y'all should bottle that Jolly sauce & sell it. It is delicious! The wings are better than any wings I've had in the Chicagoland area! The place is clean, the staff was friendly. I'm coming back for more!!!! read more

I stopped in to try this local business. The inside is very clean and inviting. Contemporary music played as I waited for my order. The chicken was delicious; hot and crispy with good seasoning. I tried the Jolly sauce and enjoyed it. If you like spice with a hint of sweetness try the Jolly sauce. I will be back to try additional items from this restaurant. read more

Food was amazing! I ordered 8 piece with jolly sauce. Omg it was amazing. Fresh, delicious and served hot. The young lady behind the counter was pleasant, polite and I loved that there are tables so you can eat in if you desire. 5 stars and I can not wait to return read more
