Cook Out

I visited this restaurant's Panola Road location on a Sunday afternoon and ordered the Rasta Pasta…read more I have to say, it was the best Rasta Pasta I've ever tasted! This was my first time trying this restaurant, and I was thoroughly impressed. The food was flavorful, fresh, and exceeded my expectations. Based on this experience alone, I'll definitely be returning to try the wings and explore more of the menu. Great job, Hungry! Keep up the excellent work.

I went BACK! Tried the salmon this time and it was cooked perfectly. Not dry at all. They offered…read moresoy sauce and boom boom sauce this time. Boom sauce spiced it up a bit. It was good. They were out of broccoli I ended up having to make my own. Would've been nice to maybe have extra veggies in that case but either way I enjoyed and customer service is always great.

The number of times I have…read morepaid for extra sauces and not received them or only received the ones I paid for and not the ones that come with what I ordered, or no sauce at all are too many to count. Ironically, they never fail to remind me that additional sauces cost extra, whilst also forgetting to give me what I paid for. The other day I ordered thru the app and went inside to collect my food, or so I thought. The cashier at the front was having a melt down and instead of tackling the line forming in the lobby, she resorted to wrapping receipt paper around her head and screaming obscenities. I ended up leaving and requesting a refund thru the app, I just wanted some chicken. It's already bad enough you're served a hefty side of attitude whenever you come here, but the bafoonery and circus antics just cross a line for me personally. I won't be back, I hope the place closes. They don't serve anything consistently but high blood pressure, high cholesterol, irritable bowels and attitude...minus the dipping sauce.

I would suggest that everyone order thru the mobile to skip the line. It's definitely worth it. The food is always delicious. I order a chicken sandwich and Oreo milkshake. Didn't disappoint. The ambiance was crowded. But I'll definitely recommend this location. It was the Oreo Milkshake for me. Just mouthwatering.

The food…read morearrived in good condition, and while I wasn't there for the service, the timing was pretty quick--about an hour or less including the delivery. I ordered grilled chicken and mac and cheese. The chicken was tasty and well-seasoned, with a nice mix of spices, while the mac and cheese had a slightly "eggy" texture, almost like the noodles in a chicken pot pie, but still flavorful. Both items were prepared very well and were filling and worth the price. I had a Sprite with my meal, and unlike my experience at Olive Garden, it was crisp and refreshing, not flat at all. Overall, this was a satisfying takeout meal, and I would definitely go back for more.

The wings came out pretty quick, but they cooked the fish fresh to order, which I definitely appreciated. The fish was hot and fresh. I never really got lemon pepper anything until coming to ATL, but whatever seasoning they put on the food was actually good. I definitely recommend trying their lemonade--it was . I'll also be trying some of their desserts next time because they looked good. Overall, I enjoyed the food and will be back... maybe just not this particular location.

9/3 I saw JJ Fish & Chicken in passing and thought, I'd like…read moreto try this place. I reached my destination and my companions said that they wanted to eat and they recommended JJ Fish & Chicken. I'm yes, while fist pumps in the air. I think the yelp gods are with me on this trip, and everything is syncing. After viewing the menu, I became very indecisive on what to order. I saw so many items that I haven't eaten in decades. I am talking about 2003 and beyond. I saw gizzards and almost lost consciousness. My selection was fried whiting fish with fried oysters accompanied by French fries and bread to make a sandwich. A side order of hush puppies too. In my world, you can't have sea food with the hush puppies. That's a no no! I am thinking of the playful term that I first heard in Ga, that term is big back and I caught big back vibes while ordering this meal. The whiting was so good, crispy and not greasy. 5/5 The oysters were soft and very tasty, no burn. 5/5 The French fries were flexible, soft, not crunchy, and not greasy. 5/5 Banana pudding was properly created 5/5 So entering inside JJ Fish & Chicken you will see the trend is take out, however they do offer dine-in but most patrons on the day I visited used the dining area for the waiting area. I can't see any locals using this spot for a date, maybe a lunch gathering for those that want to chat and kill time. The customer service was a bit rushed and pressed. I am guessing that is because a lot of people did as we did, called ahead for the order and when you get there you will find that customer service is a wee bit confused. Navigating phone orders and ordering in house can contribute to the confusion and slow the process of picking up an order. The reason I say this is because we ordered and when we arrived, we had to give our entire order because the number that they gave for confirmation was confusing due to the verification process. I don't know how that happened, but it did. The question now is, will I return. There are a few contributing factors that greatly influence my decision. 1- I am from out of town. 2- When I come to town again, I won't be going to that side of town. 3- It is fried food and I don't make it a habit to consume friend food. So, the next time I may have fried food may be 6 months or longer. While it is evident that I will not be returning, I do give my stamp of approval that JJ Fish & Chicken has good food with good taste, and they do give a generous amount to fill you to the point of being stuffed. I ate some and saved some. It was entirely too much so I do suggest sharing one order, it is more than enough. My companion also ate some and saved some, so it was not just me. Elite tip- organization with picking up orders would be recommendable. Three and a half stars rounded up to 4. Inspire more, Yelp more!

It was not dry at all and it was seasoned very well. The special sauce is ketchup, mayo and mustard mix. So don't be scared unless you have allergies or something. Great burger. Going back again to get another soon. Now for the second part of the review. I don't understand why they don't fry their fries by order. Second time my fries were dry and old. Come on!! Dang!! I love french fries. I still give them a five stars for the burger only!! I will post pictures of the burger next time. I was really hungry on this day. Lol!
