This place is always slammed at lunchtime. The employees are always hustling. Every time I've been here they get my order correct they double check my orders The fried catfish is amazing!! I love the hush puppies too. They are small and very crispy covered in the insane crack salt. read more

JJ Fish & Chicken - Strawberry lemonade - Chicken Wings Near Me - Lithonia, Georgia

I am actually sitting here and waited for and order for 20 minutes and the store is t even busy.

From the beginning, I heard mixed opinions about this spot -- some people swore it was great, others said it wasn't worth it, so I decided to see for myself. When I first arrived, the atmosphere stood out immediately. It definitely has more of a "hood spot" vibe than a fine dining one, so if you're looking for a high-quality date night restaurant, this isn't it. But that doesn't mean the food isn't worth it -- if you just want to chill, relax, or grab something flavorful outside of your normal routine, this is the kind of place to try. The restaurant itself is small and was packed when I came in, so I chose to order my food to-go. Since it was my first visit, one of the associates was very helpful and walked me through the menu to find something that suited me. I ended up ordering the wing and tender combo, the tilapia and wing combo, lemonade, and two desserts -- the banana pudding and the key lime red velvet cake. Now, I'll say this upfront: skip the desserts. They were not good, and I later learned they aren't made in-house -- they're outsourced from another company. If you've got a sweet tooth, you'll want to grab dessert elsewhere. The food itself, though, was impressive. The wings and fish were crispy, flavorful, and satisfying without being overly greasy. It gave me that comforting "home-cooked" feel without the effort of actually cooking. The lemonade was also really good -- even though it didn't taste freshly squeezed, it had a nice flavor and you can even choose different add-in flavors depending on what you're in the mood for. Overall, the food definitely hit the spot for me. I wouldn't recommend dining in just because of how small and crowded the space can get, but for takeout or a laid-back meal, this is a must-try. read more

IMO, it was just okay. I got a daily special which consisted of 2 pieces of fish, 10 shrimp, 2 whole chicken wings w/fries. The fries were soft and I felt like I got the broken bits from the bottom of the bag. Let me just say that I enjoyed the shrimp out of everything. The wings were a bit small but fried nicely, the fish was meh...This was my first time at this location and I can tell the difference from other locations. I will say that the service was on point. While waiting there was a slight build up of customers at times but they were getting folks orders filled and out the door. I'd have to think really hard if it's worth returning. read more

We usually order the whole fried catfish, shrimp, catfish filets, wings, fries, and coleslaw. I love the seasoning that's sprinkled on the food after it's cooked. The food is always cooked to order and fried perfectly. I didn't care for the fried trout because it's fried with the skin on the bottom. read more

Always fresh and hot fish was great and had okra seasoning had me drooling Service was a 10 my order was correct and in timely fashion So yes the ambiance was like a Chicago style JJ fish and chicken should be on all corners Love it!!! read more

I love their chicken. You get a whole wing and not little wingettes. I just don't like when some are hanging outside when they're not customers. read more

I've only ordered delivery from here but often. Their chicken and shrimp are busssinn! I wish the packaging was more efficient so it stays fresher during travel. read more

This place is great. I love the tenders but the family loves the wings, fish, and shrimps. Even the gizzards. No complaints and we order once every other week. read more

JJ Fish & Chicken - Trout and wings - Chicken Wings Near Me - Lithonia, Georgia

Moved back to Atlanta in 2021 after being in the PNW for 4 years for a job opportunity. Came back after going remote. Couldn't wait to introduce my then GF, now wife, to some good hood fish spots. Eh. Fish was decent but not at all fried hard like I asked. Fries were too seasoned like in some hypertension type stuff but I get it. People around here like overly salty food. Not what I thought based on my previous experience of eating there in 2015-2017. 5/10 read more

Food service was great and food was cooked to perfection they could go lighter on the seasoning I have high blood pressure but all else it was a great Experience. read more

I'll be 100% honest and say I was NOT expecting to find food in Lithonia late night, imagine my surprise when Yelp said JJs was open. Now I've been to a lot of JJs....usually University & Pryor and THIS location has them all beat. It's super organized and they give you a buzzer so you can sit in your car until your food is ready versus standing inside (with limited seating) waiting for your number to be called and I appreciate that. I kept it simple wings and catfish combo and I didn't have to ask for any ketchup.or hot sauce because they put it in the bag with napkins and utensils automatically. Good customer service and there wasn't a long wait. Worth going back to. read more

The food is hot fresh and good Every-time. The workers stay focused to get you in and out. They keep the place clean. The only bad thing is the place is old and needs an upgrade and the parking lot is full of holes so beware. read more

I give them a 4 today wings were larger and was seasoned to perfection (light seasoning) it's a hit or miss but they r pretty much consistent. I only get chicken. You can buy your own whiting or shrimp and prepare at home. They r not the size they disclose. But i suggest only go for chicken. Customer service they r just there. This location is clean I won't ever eat at other locations aka "Pryor road" rats running through lobby read more

JJ Fish & Chicken - 10pc chicken dinner - Chicken Wings Near Me - Lithonia, Georgia

Terrible poorly cooked food . Poor quality prices too high for the pot quantity and quality of the food . Chicken and fish not cooked well

The food is always on point and the service is always good. I usually grab some food on my way to work

This is the first time I've eaten here, I ordered wings, fries and fried okra. No complaints, I am sooooo happy I found a wing joint near me!! JJ's will definitely be my go to spot. read more

straight trash! They didn't follow any instructions for my food and had me pay for extra mild sauce and then gave me the wrong sauce. And when I called to get it fixed, the man hung up in my face. nasty fish, nasty chicken, and they call themselves a Chicago restaurant but it tastes NOTHING like Chicago food - I'm from that area so I would know. Not only am I NEVER going there again, I'm contacting law enforcement for them stealing my money. read more

I tried this place after seeing a social media influencer recommend it, ordered 20 wings 2 pizza puffs and fries, pizza puff is a Chicago thing it's kind of like a Pizza Hot pocket I enjoyed it, the Wings come out crispy but they don't toss them and I like my wings tossed in buffalo, the sauce they provide was good but you got to dip it splash some on, 20 wings is the smallest amount I seen on the menu fries was good, if they had smaller wings orders and tossed them I'd be back again, read more

EXCELLENT SERVICE!! The staff is always on point and a positive experience. I love the food, always hot and fresh. Keep up the great work

I would say a definite yes but this mf lemonade or ice cup they sold me is downright disrespectful! 5%lemonade 95%ice I barehand any lemonade so I'm pissed!!food was at least good though read more

JJ Fish & Chicken - Ice/lil lemonade - Chicken Wings Near Me - Lithonia, Georgia

Great fish and chicken. It's as if they have frying things down to a science. If I'm in the mood for fried food with the perfect amount of down south crispiness, this is the best place to be. Their fries are also crispy. There is a bit of a crunch to them. This is something to consider because not everyone likes their fries crispy like I do. And I CANNOT forget to mention the seasoning. Word on the street is that they secretly added a bit of narcotics to their seasoning to keep you coming back. Please understand that is only a joke shared by the community this restaurant serves. I'm almost certain there are no drugs in their food, but you get the point. The seasoning is amazing. Many people like to ask for extra! Cons: Do not confuse this with fast food. You'll probably wait around 12-15 mins to get your food after you order, but we all know that saying: if it's good and cheap, it won't be fast. read more

This location is really bad from the exterior. Trash and Used masks littered the parking lot. But... Go inside it was cleaner. Everyone was wearing their mask and the cashier was very nice and patient. We had a large order: Tilapia & Wing Combo (we didn't get the coleslaw or the beverage that comes with it), 6 wing dinner (also missing the coleslaw and beverage), Crab Bites, Pizza Puff (it came with fries), Shrimp dinner and a Tender & Wings combo. I give this place two stars only because two of my relatives enjoyed their meal. The rest of us damn near went in to cardiac arrest after seeing the amount of salt (disguised as "special seasoning") powdering the food. We thought it was flour at first. You could blow, shake and brush the food and see the salt flying off the food and hear the salt hitting the styrofoam container. Some of the wings were fried so hard there was nothing edible. I've been to other locations and never had this experience. ETA: The crab bites were gooey and gross. The Pizza Puff would have been delicious but it was too salty to enjoy it. read more

Best chicken and shrimp. Really like their special seasoning. I believe it's lemon pepper.

Food was cooked in old, old grease, they don't speak English and couldn't understand my order so they messed it up. I don't see how people eat this food. Kitchen is nasty ass HELL! Go back to Chicago read more

I visited the restaurant because of all the hype I've heard about it but it was so underwhelming. I got the wings and chicken gizzards with the special seasoning and I had to add my own seasonings. It just wasn't as tasty as other people seem to see it as. If it wasn't for adobo and hot sauce I wouldn't have finished the plate. However the food did come out hot and fresh, there was a bit of a wait for the food but that wasn't a problem and the cashier was nice but I wouldn't go back. The food isn't all that it is hyped up to be. read more

So I normally have lots to say about restaurants, hotels, or shops I visit and here's the litmus test I use when I'm grading: *If the service is absolutely horrible (no matter the level) I'm giving it one star, solely because I know ANYBODY who goes there is going to have a horrible time. ** If the service is good and people are friendly, I enjoy it and keep it moving because they didn't make my experience over the top. *** If the server, manager, associate goes out of their way to explain, share info such as name, specials, discounts, add-ons...I come here because EVERYBODY should experience the goodness I'm experiencing. JJ Fish ( pretty much no matter which location you go to) is going to be good. I thought my first time out it was just on a good night but even up to 5 minutes before closing the staff was courteous, helpful, and made sure I had everything I ordered before I left. Now, the one caveat to it is, the locations are usually in the less fancy areas of town. Not totally bad but, it'll have you raise your awareness and still the food is freaking amazing. Add to that the insanely sweet colorful drink options, the huge cooler full of all kinds of cake and that secret seasoning everybody covers their food with upon pick up and you will put yourself into a delicious coma. I've had the perch, the whiting, AND the catfish nuggets and none of it dissappoints. The coleslaw is a bit under seasoned but the fish makes up for it. If you want good fried fish that is hot, delicious and isn't overpriced check out ANY of these spots because Baby..."ITS AWESOME!" I would have had pics but I couldn't wait to eat read more

This place is very unorganized and horrible customer service. My wings and fries were fried SO hard and the cake that I purchased was dry and lacked flavor. I called to let the store know and they said it was nothing they could do. I do not recommend this location at all. read more

I visited this location today, ( was my 2nd time going there), 1st visit was fine, food was pretty good too..... Today, due to time restraints, I called my order in over the phone, the woman that answered and took the order had "MORE ATTITUTIDE" THAN THE LAW SHOULD ALLOW....... None the less, I placed my order's with her anyway..... Upon my arrival, I went in, paid for my order, and was told by a male to took my payment, to step down to the end of the counter to pick up my food. Cool., I did, and as my number was called, I stepped up to the counter to get my food and drink. Well, I noticed the cup seemed to have been leaking, so I asked her for another cup to sit the drink down in so it wouldn't make a mess in my car, ok? This "COW" Said "NO" When I asked her for the cup, at which point, I sorta of lost my patience with her!!! I said a few "choice words" to her, that I will not lower myself and repeat in this post, but in addition, I basically "schooled" her on her lack of etiquette, and the importance of being polite.. She still wasn't trying to hear me.... I guess another reason why I felt the need to write this review is because "We" have these businesses come into our communities, that, "Yes", we cater and support them, and then off they go back to their most often times, "Luxurious" communities!!! We DESERVE to Be Respected and Appreciated!! We Should Not and I Will Not Accept ANYTHING LESS!!!!! That said, the food wasn't even Good Today!!! And the pieces of fish WERE MUCH SMALLER!!!! I Will NOT BE GOING BACK!!!!! I WILL GO WHERE I FEEL APPRECIATED!!!! Fyi! Captain D's is just a few doors down, ( on Evans Mill Rd),!!! They are a great alternative!!!! IJS!!!! read more
