10 Salt & Pepper Wings with fried rice
Brea R.

JT's did not disappoint. It was very nostalgic coming to this place. A family relative used to own this location when it was a Williams Chicken. Although I didn't get pictures of everything, portions were great. Within our group we had fried fish, fried shrimp, grilled shrimp, chicken strips, burger, fried rice and fries. Staff was extremely nice and everything was made fresh to order.

Salt and pepper wings

Little hole in the wall off hwy 30. Walked in and the girl at the register was rude, no hello, no can I help you and no smile at all. She really needs so.e training. However the gentleman came out from the back and was way nicer and friendly. As for the food I had the salt and pepper wings with "fried rice". It was good, but didn't expect all the jalapenos and chili flakes...pepper is not that! Overall food was not too bad.

Menu

I had the 3 piece porkchop basket with fried rice, 2 piece fish basket with fries and 15 piece salt n pepper wing basket with fries. I felt the pork chops were try because they were thinly cut and over fried. The fried rice was simple, nothing I'd eat again. The fish basket was a little better, not overcooked and seasoned pretty well. The wings were good, I will probably purchased those again because my kids liked them. They are no Tucker's wings but a hell of a lot better than wingstop!

I have been wanting to try this place for quite some time. Unfortunately I can't relate to those who had either a great experience or great food. First off it was not well kept. By this I mean all the tables could have used a wipe down and the floor needed to be swept. The food was very bland and had a strange after taste. Because of that I only are one of the wings. The gumbo was watery and had a strong celery taste to it. Being that I've passed this place for a year and wanted to try it I really wanted to like the food. It just didn't happen for me.

a wall full of different types of food

After a job fair and going to work my belly told me, LOOK there is the Cajun place you've been passing for months, go eat..Now! I pulled into the restaurant which is located next to a busy access road. When you enter, it's still set up like the start of Covid which was odd for Texas. The young lady at the counter must have had a lot of sugar earlier and was crashing since she was low energy. Low energy and playing with the phone doesn't equal great customer service. You can see the menu up against the wall and my belly said, gumbo and fish. I wanted to wash my hands but both restrooms were closed, insert eye roll with an annoying really. There were only two customers and it took a while to get my food. The gumbo was plain with hardly any stuff inside of soup. The fish were lightly breaded yet really no exceptional flavor. For 20 bucks the not stellar customer service, no bathrooms and flavorless food was not a good experience. I will try it again in the future, maybe it was an off day for the restaurant and for sure for my big belly. Insert the sound of a dying pacman.

Tiny crawfish at 10.99 a pound and it's crawfish season. So disappointed not eating these I want my money back.

Gave tiny crawfish at 11 a pound after I asked the size he said it was medium size smh very disappointed. The workers are always so dry. I don't think I will be going back.

This hole in the wall right off 30 and Broadway by the pawn shop is the biggest hidden gem! Crazy huge menu like all your south dallas seafood joints. I stopped by to check them out and man I was blown away by the attentiveness of the employees and how great the food was. On top of that it's a great price. Got a couple of the 1fish 3 shrimp orders with the shrimp fried rice of course. You know it's legit when they got the shrimp fried rice option as the side! Go now!

Salt and pepper chicken with fried rice
Khiana C.

Wow, just wow. I first went through the drive through to order food but got super overwhelmed with all the menu options lol I wanted to know the difference in the salt and pepper wings vs the regular . I was told they had pictures inside if I wanted to see what it looked like so I took the advice and got off. They literally have a WHOLE wall with pictures of all the dishes they serve! Amazingly helpful! Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable on the food . I ordered the salt and pepper chicken, fried fish and shrimp and 3 whole wings with fried rice. Everything was HOT and FRESH, and tasted so good! The salt and pepper chicken really has a nice twist to it with the onion , jalapeños, and chili pepper sprinkles! The fish and shrimp were batter perfectly with just the right amount of seasoning. The fries have a tasty seasoning on them as well. The wings were also seasoned just right and fried to perfection. I didn't mind waiting the extra minutes to assure that. I highly recommended this place to anyone in this area! GREAT JOB JT's! I wish I lived closer, but definitely would drive 45 minutes to come back!

I have always loved my food that I have gotten at the seafood shack…read more Tonight I ordered by the drive-in, the tacos Vallarta with the fish. I got home and there was no cabbage slaw nor the white sauce only the orange sauce in my taco order.... the cabbage slaw is what sets these fish tacos off that are delicious. I've taken many people to this location & taking several of my Spanish friends from Mexico who loves this dish. I am very disappointed tonight because this does not taste as the usual order of taco Vallarta that I have gotten for several years now with your Mesquite location. I just called the store and got two people who could not speak any English and understand what I was trying to tell about my order. when I asked for the young girl who was at the drive-in window who spoke English she was not available. I talked to another young lady who did not really understand what I was talking about, but then she took my name and said the next time I come up there, they would give me an extra slaw. Duh, really!!! There should be someone at this restaurant that can speak English when there is something wrong with an order. The young lady asked me did I want to drive back up there; I told her NO - I live 15 minutes away. My meal that I was really excited for become very disappointing tonight. I know it's a Friday night, but that doesn't matter where the quality wasn't right, not what I'm used to.

The food was amazing. I recommend trying the shrimp enchiladas & hush puppies…read more Other than great food, it's super affordable and convenient for big families. The only thing I'd suggest is having more space for people to sit comfortably as it is pretty small and tables are too close to each other.

If I could give this place zero stars I would!! DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME HERE. Customer service is…read morehorrible... my husband asked them if the "catfish" was real catfish and the waiter said yes it came out and if you eat catfish then you know Real catfish and it was not so he sent it back. We could tell they were being dishonest because she came back twice saying they say it's catfish. The waitress never came back to check on us after that. The chicken wings were undercooked The crawfish didn't really taste like live crawfish (I eat crawfish all the time and know the difference) We didn't complain just knew in that moment we would never come back. My husband went to pay and they had the nerve to charge him for that catfish. He said I sent it back because it's not what you advertised and the other waitress came from the back and confirmed it's swai. But still the manager continued to stand firm saying no refunds on food. He said it was posted.. my husband said where....It's on the napkin holder!!! No physical menus to look at. Deceitful To us it's about principle don't advertise your product as something it's not and expect people to pay for it when you admittedly said it was not catfish. This should be against the law.. one could be allergic to this fish. Anyways they were rude, not attentive, food undercooked, under seasoned crawfish.... I should have paid attention to the reviews I will just make the drive to the Mansfield Location they are the best of this franchise hands down. I wouldn't be surprised if this place closes in the next six months they need a lot of work!! Customer Satisfaction should be of utmost importance If a seafood place is not busy during crawfish season that is a red flag

The service was terrible. The entire staff wasn't terrible but the ones that I actually served my…read moretable seemed like they were not one to be bothered with. While I was there I could see some of them stare at me and then would whisper to another staff member. When I got my order the snow crabs were barely even hot and the dungeness was still cold as soon as I opened it. I told the server who had me place both items into one bag. Another server came back and asked if I wanted the crabs to be remade and I said yes. Then the same server that took order back gave me the same exact bag I gave her back with the snow crabs in it. After that she never came back to my table. Since the crab legs were at least warm I kept it. By the time they finished with the Dungeness crab, we had finished all the other items we had ordered. I tried to speak to a manager but she wasn't available and so I waited but it was taking way too long. My complaint/issue wouldn't be solved today, and I do intend to follow with the establishment.

What a wonderful place to stumble upon. I noticed it from my hotel room. It was walkable. And here…read moreI am enjoying a nice red snapper with fries and a salad. Delightfully served by Brenda, who exhibited a kindness not oft afforded now a days. She checked on me frequently and with sincerity. The this and that. I came off hours for a very late lunch. Scaffold. This is a cheerful family seafood Mexican restaurant. That being said leave your Pappadeaux aspirations at the door. This there's a genuine authentic appearance that made me smile, my food was served the head and tail still attached with the body artfully scored. Fresh lime wedges awakened the flavor of the fish. Everything was fresh I have no complaints and I was really surprised to see such a nice presentation of seafood in Garland, Texas. How wonderful. (Garland is quite a distance from the Gulf of Mexico and living in Houston I have access to fresh seafood and quite spoiled) I think I'll come back for the Seafood Po Boys tonight and check them out. Many other things on the menu fried boiled starters side orders in from the grill as well as tacos and of course salads. So my review is just really based on the redfish and being biased about red snapper from Houston I can honestly say this was a pretty good eats here. Well that's just my personal opinion you make your own choice. Some would say this is a hole in the wall (not really, please) and if your expectations are such, know it's a humble place and they're very proud of it. You will find here plenty of booths and tables, natural lighting and TV's and a variety of channels and I found the music pleasing. The place is clean it looks like they really know how to entertain and take care of the customer too small or large party. So that's my take. If you're looking for a good service something close to La Quinta and you can walk to or find a walkable place to have a meal with protein and fresh food - this might be a good option for you. Likewise, if you're looking for something that's tasty you and you're in the area, I'd stop in. Converseky, if you're looking for something matchy, matchy or on pointe trend interiors to impress yourself or your friends, maybe this is not a place for you. But it is the place for you if it's a best friend and somebody you naturally would have a good conversation with mo matter what. I will take them here and enjoy the food and your time together. You're welcome. Overall, I think this would be a fun group neighborhood place. The music is great too. Why not find out?

New to the area so I gave it a try based on reviews. With zero bodies in the place at 5:00 pm I…read moreshould have turned right around. I chose a booth and quickly realized my mistake when my forearms stuck to the table. A very weird and odd humidity was present. Ordered chips and guacamole. The guacamole tasted off and chips were stale. Two fish filets and two shrimp for the main. Filet breading was like eating sand. The fish itself was a cotton - like mush and the oil was off. The shrimp was paper thin and tasted like the filets. Oil dripped from the fries so none made it in. The only good thing about this visit was the one cold beer I had. It's now 11:00 pm and I'm on my 6th tablet of Tums and the same number of trips to the throne.... 34 bucks and a 6 dollar tip. Sometimes you gotta pay in one way or the other when you FAFO! The waitress was nice.
