JJ Fish & Chicken

I should have followed my first mind and not ordered from here. Coworker was going and I was hungry. Ordered catfish and prawn combo. He brought it back and was a disappointment. Fish was undercooked, salty, and prawns were dark like they had been fried in old grease. Of course tried to call to address issue, but no answer so I left a message. Will see if I get a response and give an update. My stomach hurts from eating one bite of half cooked fish and salty prawn. I never was a fan and probably never will be.

i did not like fish… may as well get it from long johns… ordered three of catfish and chips … turned out to be fifty something… when.i.reached home found out that we got four orders… while ordering i had repeated myself saying three orders … this was my first time trying… fish is chips is my favorite and from. the places this was bad compared to them…

I always get the fried catfish and fries only. The staff has always been nice and helpful. My food is always cooked as requested. I tried the greens and would not recommend them at all, bland, no seasoning at ALL. The greens were well cooked, not too mushy or anything. But definitely wouldn’t order them again. I really like everything else that I get. They give you a good amount of food for your money, not huge, but more than I can ever finish.

1^st and last time I visit this spot. Person that took my order basically ordered me what HE wanted. I specifically said I wanted and order with chicken AND prawns NOT an order of chicken AND an order of prawns. Make long story short my order was wrong and I was overcharged. Then when I let him know he just laughed and said that’s not what he understood

Food here is freshly made; there’s no heating lamp with piles of chicken or fish waiting so expect to wait about 10 minutes for y our order (if you want chicken leg, the wait is 25 minutes as they make it fresh).
You get a decent amount of food for the price you pay; but if you want cheap fresh fried chicken, walk across the street to Church’s chicken. Here, the food is good and worth what you pay. The hush puppies and grill sole was my least favorite. The filet was real good, fried chicken and fries well seasoned and you get a a couple slices of bread too.
Because of price, it’s not something I would come often but on the days where I want real «fish and chips» this is the place to go.

I love this place but something is not right about the fish at this location. Fish has been bad every time. Jumbo shrimp, lemonade, and fried okra tastes good. Fish, greens, fries, chicken, cake, and wait time is bad. Generally friendly customer service which is nice.

Overpriced? Yes. But I’d still pay some of an arm & a leg for a large platter of Jumbo Shrimp with «well done» fries! I’m a sucker for seasoned, well done fries. I love dipping fries in ketchup x mayo.
I have been coming here for the past two years & have never had a bad experience with customer service or the food. I do recommend you call ahead to make an order so you don’t have to wait.
–1 star for still paying some of an arm & a leg.

I always come here for fried chicken wings, fried chicken gizzard, and deep fried prawns! Sooo good. I use to get the fish but lately fish haven’t been cooked all the way and cold like it was fried frozen or something and not long enough. But overall I would recommend.

So sad to write this review. I used to LOVE this place. Its me and my boyfriend’s favorite place to grab food. It used to be a decent price and the portion is good. All of the sudden the price went up and the less food! They sometimes don’t even taste as good anymore. I don’t know if it’s new management but I know there are some new employees that works there now. Some are so unprofessional, I know this is not a fancy food place but come on have some kind of training. Employees should know how to answer a phone and give accurate information.
The last few months has been bad. I called to put in an order for tonight’s dinner and I had to talk to 3 different people to get my order right… only I didn’t even get to put in my order because the last guy said they close in 10 mins! And I just called an hour earlier asking what time they are close and I made sure to order an hour and half before closing. He said his boss called and let him know to close early. What kind of management have their business close earlier than it should be??? Just horrible. Never coming back here.

Do you want to eat some good fish or some good chicken come on down to JJ’s fish and chicken in Richmond 3600 McDonald Avenue

No Stars & The Food is very overpriced!!!
ZERO STARS!!!
This place is very expensive for the little bit of food they give u $ 20 for 2 pieces of fish, 3 chicken wings, & 4 shrimp… when I told they guy at the register that all the pictures of the combos shows 4 chicken wings he said, «u can order an extra wing for $ 2»…I said y’all false advertising y’all need 2 take the pictures down, I paid 4 it anyway thinking it was gone b delicious but hell to the naw, the chicken was fried hard like a rock!

Maaaan, first of all The fish wasn’t all that. It could of been cooked a little bit better. The shrimp is good though I haven’t tried the chicken so I can’t speak on that. But the fish was nasty. I had way better fish than what they served at this spot. So I’m giving it 2 stars cuz the fish wasn’t all that good.

Came on Saturday to pick up my 30 wings for a girl party in. wings nice and HOT and prepared well.

I was kinda hesitant to try this place out because of the negative reviews. But it’s Friday and being a religious person we don’t eat meat due to lent so I wanted seafood. My boyfriend really wanted to try this place out and I am so glad we did.
We ordered the #1 catfish fillet and shrimp. Got it fried hard extra crispy. Can I just tell you that it was the BEST fried catfish I’ve ever had. It was crispy on the out side and nice and soft like butter on the inside. No fishy smell or taste and the fries were perfection. The cole slaw is amazing as well.
We went around lunch time and ate there. I don’t know of that has anything to do with the freshness of the food. But everything was a 10 for me and my boyfriend. The food didn’t feel heavy at all. It actually got us wanting more but we didn’t want to over do it. We might even go back for dinner.

The food looks good, but taste poorly made.. I asked for my fish to be fried hard and it was still soft and had a weird taste to it. As if the grease was old or something. My Family is from the south so I know good seafood, and this is far from it. The chicken was bland, and the catfish tasted like fried tuna?.. .I am very confused with this place… Anywho save your money and go to the boulavard fish on cutting, or red snappers on Ohio. Their food is cheaper and twice as good.

I ordered a two-​way combo that came with fries. I had the jumbo pawns (excellent) and the catfish fillet (gross! double gross). The catfish fillet texture was way off. Instead of it being flaky, it was a funny type of melt in your mouth mushy. G-​R-​O-​S-​S!!! So needless to say, I will not be reordering any fish from them again. I don’t like taking chances with my food.
However, all wasn’t lost because I returned the next day to order a large jumbo pawn dinner. My tastebuds were happy!
If it had not been for the nasty behind fish, I would give them a 5 star rating.

I enjoy the fish at this place, it’s well seasoned and not over fried. Only 3 stars for the location. I can’t help but be concerned when I patronize any establishment and there is bullet proof glass between myself and the employees. I would suggest ordering ahead, and getting your food to go. Another tip is to stay away from the chicken wings. The wings are good in flavor, but unbelievably large. I have never seen such large wings, they are really scary. They must use chicken parts pumped up with steroids. The Foster Farm birds would not be pleased.

I work in Oakland and Live in Hercules so when I crave that fried catfish and fried Okra, this is my spot. it’s in my old neighborhood in Richmond and right off the freeway so I usually just call from my car when i approach the exit and the food is always ready by the time I go inside. The dudes behind the counter are some cool cats too. they always act like they’re hooking you up or something, I know they are not but it just feels good! I usually get the Large catfish and sub the fries with fried okra for an extra dollar or so. This sets me up for the night or when I am watching the game. their fried oysters and snaps are also hella good.
So if you like that southern style fried fish and seafood, this is the place in Richmond.

I order a 18 piece chicken nugget and the lady asks me if I’m sure I don’t want to get any chicken with that. We then stare at each other confused in complete silence for an extended period of time. On a side note the chicken nuggets sucked. I have had better frozen nuggets from Costco.

–¼ of a star for the fries. I personally do not like fries that are coated.
OTHERWISE… this place is da bomb. Seriously.
I just placed an order for 7 different combo plates. delivery! Food still warm. and EVERY ORDER IS CORRECT!
They’re very friendly on the phone, and know me and my co-​worker by name. They don’t even ask us for the address anymore!
Catfish fillet is great and always fresh, as is the regular shrimp.
Call in for delivery service and you won’t be disappointed.
(on a side note. the fries get a bit soggy while in transit and they’re edible but not the best)
