    Hey, why is it these "world famous" places aren't known anywhere else in the world? All the time I was near the ocean, I never heard of Jocko's Chicken and Seafood. I only knew about them when I was driving down U.S. 127 to Cincinnati or across S.R. 129/High Street through Hamilton. $7.99 for 5 pieces of good-sized shrimp, 2 pieces of fish, and 2 side items isn't bad. That said, I kind of choked when she said $10 something after I'd added a drink. This is a fast food place, after all. Then, while I was standing there, someone came into the store complaining that he didn't get his fish sandwich, and the gentleman who responded to him said that they threw out the fish because it wasn't very fresh. That made me feel both good and nervous. What else wasn't fresh and needed to be tossed? (Hopefully not my cookies!) Also, as I was waiting, the woman from the cash register was mentioning orders, as they apparently don't have a numbering system to make it easier to announce when food is ready. As my food arrived, I went out to a clean table. In fact, all of them seemed to be clean. The shrimp were a good size, but had zero taste, as far as I could tell. The breading didn't really add any taste either. The fish was good, and a couple of times, I wondered if it was some sort of funky chicken--no, it didn't dance, but usually, places just serve generic white fish because people don't like fish. The Macaroni and Cheese was good, as were the mashed potatoes and gravy. The hush puppies were dry enough to be used instead of paper towels. Maybe, they could put some in the rest room, if they run low on paper towels. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great. I got a good portion of food. I just wished it was bursting with flavour. Oh, and as a few people had left the restaurant, another woman came into the dining room and wiped all of the tables. Someone cares!

    Divider window needs to be cleaned.

    The fish is lightyears ahead of Long John Silvers. The batter is perfect and you can actually sea fish.

    All of the workers were very nice. The food was good! It was pretty dirty, that's why I only gave four stars.

    I absolutely love fried chicken. Jocko's is pretty much as good as it can get. It ranks favorably with Wagners in Oldenburg

    The server was so friendly. The food delicious. We tried several menu items and they were all 10/10read more

The bartender was handling the table service this evening and did a great job. You would have thought that she had known us for years. She is super friendly! It wasn't crowded tonight when we got there but it did pick up quick. Despite the additional guests that came in she was on top of it. My wife ordered a Diet Coke and I ordered a tall Miller Lite. The draft beer was exceptionally cold which I like. We ordered our food which was 6 buffalo wings for me with a wedge salad and Bleu cheese. My wife ordered the shepherd's pie with came with a small salad. When our food came out the presentation was great as well as piping hot. She had to let her entree cool a bit before eating it. My wings were very meaty and loaded with sauce. (No need to ask for extra) The wedge salad was huge and delicious as well. I got their homemade Bleu cheese with it and definitely don't regret that. Note the wings came with Bleu cheese and celery also. My wife loved her salad and couldn't stop raving over the Shepherds pie. I did get a taste and must agree with her on how good it was. I took half of my salad and a full Bleu cheese home with me for tomorrow and my wife also brought home half of her meal. We ended up ordering the brown butter cake to split for desert which I will say was outstanding. We will surely go back and only wish that we had tried it sooner. Don't sleep on this one or you will be missing out.

    Take yourself out on your own darn date. Why not?…read more You deserve it. And when you do..... Order the Pink Starburst for 10 buckeroos. A steal. It's pretty and pink and glows. Second choice was an expressotini. The crab rangoons for 6 bucks are a steal. Who can't resist crispy fried filled puffs filled with cream cheese ? Not this girl. Then I took Anthony's suggestion and went with a coconut spaghetti. If you're wondering what that is...... It's flippin fabulous. It's mandarin egg noodles tossed with shrimp, vegetables, in a savory brown sauce. Sold. The curiosity alone was enough to order it. Now on to the ambience. 9.5 outta 10. The music is in the background and not too loud to not hear the conversations your eavesdropping on in the next booth. And any place you go and hear Fleetwood Mac is a plus. The bar has a cool vibe and you don't have to break the bank. And!!! best part yet, there are books all around the place to read if you get bored or have a boring date. And Lori is such a darn hard worker with a smile a great hair. And thankfully, they do Apple Pay.

    Excellent, excellent, excellent. We came for an early dinner and got a spot out front (25c for 30…read moreminutes, free after 5 PM). We sat in a very comfortable 2-person booth. Our waitress was Sheridan and she provided absolutely superb service. Major shout-out. They didn't have the beer my husband ordered so she took the initiative to return to the table with two samples of similar beer for him to try. She answered all our questions and made appropriate recommendations. We were checked on often enough, a soda refill appeared without my asking, and she neatly boxed up our leftovers. She was pleasant and kind and one of the best servers ever. Very classy decor here; subtle touches of the orient; wood, leather, and...books! And a very elegant bar. Motown music was playing, and festive but not excessive Christmas decorations were up. And yes, a fortune cat was there to greet us. Food arrived quickly. We had the Thai Dumplings app which was just enough for two to whet the appetite. It was tangy and peanutty and the cool cucumber slices a perfect contrast. My husband had the Green Mango Grouper and loved it. I had a taste and it was fantastic, fresh white fish and delectable toppings, spice level 2 was just right. I tasted it and agreed it was excellent and right then we made plans to return. I had Siam Curry with chicken. Full of flavor and wonderful vegetables especially the snow peas. Spice level 3 is described as Thai Spicy and they are not kidding. They do not wimp out on the spice here so use caution. (For example at Thai Thara in Richmond Indiana I go with 5 of 5 and I still need to add some spice.) Sheridan brought extra chili oil if needed. I would recommend erring on the side of lower spice with the option to add. We took home an order of Singapore Noodles to share for supper tomorrow along with our leftovers. I snuck a taste before putting it away and it's delicious! Looking forward to another visit soon and I think I'll try one of their cocktails. Highly recommended!
