So, as a Chicago Foodie, and I love my West Chatham Southside neighborhood, this is my close to…read morehome fish and chicken spot. Typical with urban fast food chains, it's at times "hit or miss" and like Harold's Chicken, it all depends on who is in the kitchen and their expertise. This J&J consistently gets it right. I get wings and fish-jack salmon/whiting and perch and cat at times, and it's cooked right, flavorful but you must ask for heavy lemon pepper if desired. They are lenient with the mild sauce and slaw, and cashier and cook staff are pleasant, knowing me by face and they speak and smile kindly. Hate to bring race into it, but other joints don't tend to appreciate the African American culture when they are Arab or Palestinian but this location, I don't get that voice be. Highly recommend! Place is clean and love the see thru kitchen

Yulk, yulk, & disgusting. $16.53 on small perch dinner, the fish was(what fish!) it was ALL breaded…read moreand hard, greasy, hardly any fish flesh inside. Man I was so mad ,& disappointed.. I should have seen the signs, it was trash, dirty at the entrance,not so clean on the inside...when I call to inform them I was told they don't get many complaints??! and that they can replace meal if I came back tonight or tomorrow, I informed them I don't live near by,I stay on the north side of Chicago... I will NEVER ELVER go there or any other jj nasty fish.. people who live patronize these businesses on the south need to speak up, stand up for your right to have proper food quality for the overly priced foods. And my meal didn't come with ANY cole slaw, she said it doesn't with the small order, but that not what MENU show, it saids ALL DINNERS SERVED W/FRIES, COLESLAW & BREAD, I guess the bread is referring to the breaded bread fish,, what a ripoff... Smh. that business performe in this manner.... Yesssss, sharks is sooooo much BETTER

We needed dinner options on 6/20/26 so we opted to try them through UberEats. We ordered the Fried…read moreLegs & Thighs which comes with fries and an order of Chicken Gizzards with mild sauce on it. Also got a side of fried okra and an 8 oz side of coleslaw even though our order came with a little container of slaw. They were fast and when the food came, it was piping hot! Portions were GREAT! We asked for lemon pepper on the chicken. Chicken was fried PERFECTLY with great flavor and absolute crisipiness! Gizzards were good and the portion was HUGE (see pic). Cole slaw was creamy and good. Okra was pretty good too. Fries were yummy. Definitely will be ordering from them again. Hope to try their jumbo shrimp the next time. Thanks for a great dinner J & J Fish! A+!! Update: I ordered from this location again on 6/27/26. Ordered the same 4 piece leg & thighs but this time the chicken was not fresh and dry like it had been sitting out for awhile. Shrimp, Okra and slaw were good still. I will still order from this location though.

I placed a large DoorDash order that included pans of chicken and fish. The food itself was really…read moregood--seasoned well, fresh, and definitely a crowd-pleaser! However, there was an issue with delivery: the DoorDash driver opened the food, which is a huge no-no for such a large and sealed catering-style order. Thankfully, the staff at the restaurant noticed this and called me right away. I truly appreciated them catching it and taking the time to let me know rather than letting it be delivered in that condition. While I hated that I had to go pick it up myself, I was glad they cared enough about the quality and safety of the food to reach out.Overall, great food and attentive staff--but I'd recommend picking up large orders yourself to avoid any issues with third-party delivery.

This is still my favorite BBQ spot in Chicago because the food is consistently delicious. The…read moreperson behind the smoker clearly knows what they're doing, and the side dishes are just as good as the BBQ--which is surprisingly hard to find. It's one of the few places where I genuinely enjoy everything on the menu. That said, I hope the business can improve its operations. Unfortunately, there have been several times when they've sold out early or closed before expected, which can be frustrating for customers making the trip. It would be helpful to keep their online channels updated with real-time hours or sell-out announcements so customers know what to expect before arriving. With a few operational improvements, I truly believe this place could be one of the best BBQ destinations in the city. I'm rooting for their success because the food absolutely deserves it.

Forty four minutes is, in my opinion, an excessive wait for a sandwich and fries. That said, the honey butter mild chicken sandwich was good, as expected. The fries could have been crispier.
