J & J Fish & Chicken

Terrible Service! Waited over an HOUR!!! We literally had to stand at the counter to receive our order, after the third time checking on the status. They didn’t even apologize. The food is good but not that damn good. I couldn’t even enjoy my food I was so upset. My 1^st and Last visit.

I have to give them 3 stars because I called in my order and gave them extra time, pulled in the drive through and my order was not ready. I waited 25 minutes watching customers order and receive their food on the inside. Seem like a lot of kids work there and I kept seeing the cooks leave the kitchen! I finally received my order after they apologized for the wait and the food was all worth it. It was delicious and fresh!

love there food. cook to order. i order from them alot

Don’t let the outside fool you… very good food here. I had the catfish fillet and wings… comes out fresh cooked to order and piping hot. The seasoning shaked on after cooking and the hot sauce are great.

The food here is great. The place isn’t too fancy but the food makes up for that. Just one of those really good food joints. That’s consistent every time ! I also like how they package the food (using slices of bread to soak up the oil) makes the food hot and perfectly crunchy !

They forgot my food so when they finally gave it to me it was cold. Also, $ 10 for 1 small catfish fillet and 3 small wings… nah! I’m from Chicago (where J&J Fish is originally from) and these prices would not fly for that amount of food.

Fish was fried too hard and was not seasoned… Grease tasted like it needing replacing. The sides were really small for the amount of fish I purchased it was pretty obvious I was feeding a bunch of people they could have told me the sides would be too small.

Good fried food, friendly, caring staff. Decent value. Went at 7pm and had to wait about 20min. They forgot my hush puppies and chased me down in the parking lot.

I love getting the gizzards! The ocean perch is pretty damn good too.

JJ’S is my go to spot for fried seafood on the eastside. Don’t expect that good olé Southern hospitality here. What that lack in charm they definitely make up for in deep fried seafood goodness. Do not forget to sprinkle your food with the seasoning they have on the counter. I never noticed it before until I saw someone else use it and thought why the heck not. Why, oh why didn’t anyone tell me about this stuff before. I was hooked. I’ve never had a bad meal here however I’m also a creature of habit and typically get either the trout-​shrimp combo or whiting-​shrimp combo. The chicken is pretty good too but definitely not the star in this show. If you’re considering a seafood combo that comes with it go for it.

I drove past this place for about 10 years never stopping until about 3 months ago and I swear I eat here almost everyday now. The food is always fresh and the seasoning is the greatest. Lemonade is the best in town and the strawberry cake will have you slapping your mama!!! Love this place!!!

I heard about this place and took a chance to order, Extra disappointed with the food. Never again for me.

Just came from J&J, Been here many times and the food is consistently fried perfect! I had 20 piece wings (for family), shrimp, onion rings and fried okra, plus red velvet cake! (yes it is FATURDAY! LOL) I am happy and full!
This place has NO DRIVE THRU! for years! and the wait used to be long. But now they have about 10 people in there working and even though there was about 10 ppl ahead of me, I was on my way out of there in about 15 min. That is really good especially since it is Saturday Night, If you are looking for some good fried food, this is the SPOT! Prices are reasonable.

The food is delicious and its seasoned so good but the wait is very long to have a drive thru. U wait so long u have to cut your car off gas expensive these days. Overall its good place to eat

Friday nite movie nite get the 20 pc chicken wings with fries and a frozen lemonade and omg you and the fam can eat drink and be merry. wings are the bomb, even with the lemon pepper sprinkles they use. must try

The food is great, the wait is not. Fast, hot, well seasoned fried food that is reasonably priced.

It was tasty. I only had clams and fries my daughter had wings and said they were delicious especially with the lemon pepper seasoning… I watched people patiently waiting for their orders that they were taking home. I assume it was good because of the crowd. All in all. It was good. Living ITP fried chicken to me equated to Publix (the best btw). I end this with I felt the frying oil tasted old… That’s just me.

I could eat here EVERY.DAY. EVERYDAY. The food is sooooo good. I don’t get to the Chi or Atlanta that often, but when I do I make my way to J&J. Unlike Harold’s they know how to fry some fish!!!
OMG!!! The food is sooooooo fresh and sooo inexpensive! I could literally eat this every day of my life. I’m really serious.
I usually get the catfish, but the last time I went I got the catfish and perch combo (because I was being greedy) and yes. It was delicious. From the coleslaw to the white bread, everything is fried to perfection.
This place stays busy because it’s just that amazing. And affordable.
Highly recommend if you’re in Decatur.

Atlantalicious!!! Traveling to Texas, stopped… what a find! Before your eyes mouth watering… no kitchen to hid in. Cook with gloves in plain eyesight… locals stopping in left and right lined up… no fast food properly cooked, worth the wait. Fried no baked… this was my treat after a vegan vacation. Catfish, chicken, hush puppies, oysters, perch, tilapia, crawfish… oh wow!

My 16 yr old nephew is a fan of this place. He began eating this when living in Dallas and puts it on his checklist when visiting me in Chicago. We were leaving Home Depot which is on the other side of I 20 when he spotted it. He lit up!
Given we were headed to dinner somewhere else, I assured him he’d get his fish on the bone experience the next day for lunch.
Drive thru has a sign that says call the number shown to place a drive thru order! After I finished laughing, I decided he should go in. It was so empty I thought it was closed. The windows were tinted and I couldn’t see inside. And the store hours sign made no sense. It was clearly missing numbers. It said it opened at 1 and closed at 1 on Sundays. He was more than willing to get out and check and it was open. I have no interest in fish on a bone but decided to take a bite so I could properly review this meal. After all, I am paying for it so it’s worth a review. The catfish dinner was $ 7.99 which were two whole pieces of fish!!! I posted pictures of the meal. I found it to be scary but he ate it all.
If you like whole fried fish, this is your spot!
