Tj's Bbq & Fish - The menu - Barbeque Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Get you a fish sandwich and fries. It didn't disappoint. Fresh, hot and ready to eat!

I have eaten and enjoyed the catfish sandwich from Tj's for years. However, my recent experience was terrible. It tasted as if the fish was cooked in old, reused oil. It was not well seasoned. And my friend's fish was not fully cooked. I'm sure we will not return there. read more

Best sandwich in town! Possibly best sandwich anywhere! Quality and service and it has been consistent for years

I hadn't eaten here in years so last night I decided to give it another try. There was at least 6 cars in line waiting. I ordered 2 piece catfish with spaghetti and coleslaw as my side. I also added two fruit teas. The lady at the window was friendly though she didn't give me a receipt. The fish was ok. It looked like it was cooked in old grease. The spaghetti tasted like it was from a can. I checked my bank account this morning and for this meal I was charged....$31.90! Definitely not worth the price. IDK what the other cars got but this meal wasn't it. read more

I LOVE IT HERE, My favorite fried catfish is unmatched in the city. I pull up at least 1x per week. read more

First, they just started taking credit cards! Second, very pleasant service with lots of smiles. They brought the food out to us once it was ready. There was a light wait as they prepared it fresh. Third, we had the whiting and catfish dinners. They come with a good serving of fish, two sides of your choice, bread, pickles, onions, mustard and hot sauce. The fish was well salted, could have used a tad more pepper. Breading was crisp, and fish was cooked correctly. Catfish was nice and moist. The sides were fresh, properly prepared and again, a good sized helping. For dessert, the peach cobbler. This is down home country cooking, nothing fancy about it, but good for what it is. No pretense. We sat in the parking lot and ate our dinners. Nice place for a relaxing take out. No sit down dining. read more

Tj's Bbq & Fish - Eatin' in the car...old school style. - Barbeque Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Peach cobbler was store brand "Sara Lee". It was not good. I was expecting homemade peach cobbler at a black owned business.

Hands down delicious, down-home southern cooking at its finest. First time here and I ordered the rib plate with fried okra and mac & cheese for my sides. I would've rated it 4 1/2 stars b/c the bbq sauce on the ribs tasted as if it was from a bottle and not home-made but don't let that deter you (if it was home-made, they should start selling it in stores). The okra was perfectly battered / fried and the mac & cheese was good and gooey. I really tried to finish my meal and had to throw in the towel; ample serving that will not leave you hungry. Next time I'll try the fish sandwich. I did not see any drinks on the menu. Drive-thru / cash only. read more

You'll never eat a fish sandwich this good. This is what made east Nashville famous for food. No, it's not hot chicken. It's whiting fish coated and fred and served right out of the skillet on two pieces of plain white bread with an abundance of mustard, pickles, and yellow onions. The fish has a crumb coating on it so Crisp that it could stand it on its end. Inside the two huge pieces of fish are flaky and moist - firmer than catfish. No, the white bread can't stand up to the sandwich. It's not supposed to. Don't come here with your White starched shirt, on a date before you're going to the movies. You came here to eat. In a T-shirt. In a of pair shorts. And you may need a shower afterwards. The folks here are friendly and proud of what they do. Bring cash - about 10 bucks - and eat on the tailgate of your pick up truck or SUV. You can't really leave Nashville or live here without having a whiting fish sandwich from TJ's. read more

Tj's Bbq & Fish - OMG best fish sandwich of your whole life. Don't die before you eat one. Humongous - Barbeque Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

I came across this drive-up only fourth stop on my Nashville BBQ tour after a recommendation from the guy working at Hog Heaven. Let me begin by saying, "Get the fish!" Do yourself a favor and skip the BBQ. The rib were good but nothing special. They lacked the flavor of better ribs, and the sauces consumed the flavor -- preventing the meat to shine. Okay, with that being said, the fish is fantastic. I got the catfish with onion, mustard, pickles, and hot sauce. It is served as a sandwich on white bread. Wow! The fish is cooked to perfection. The batter is peppery and complements the fish perfectly. This drive-up dive does fried fish better than anyone else. (That last statement is pure speculation; I haven't tried much fried fish in TN.) Even though the ribs were mediocre, the fish salvaged the review and was so good I gave the four stars to the fish. read more

Can't really go wrong with some of this fried fish! I first went to this place 8 years ago and 8 years later I have returned and the same good quality. I will tell you that it is DRIVE THRU ONLY and CASH ONLY! You get 3 big healthy portions of whiting (if you get the dinner) with all the trimmings (pickles, onion, 2 slices of bread, mustard and hot sauce) and two sides! They serve can drinks and the fish itself is not seasoned but good and hot but you can make up for it by creating you a sandwich! Good all the time! read more

Amazing food! You can find southern delicacy's like a whitening fish sandwich here, which is my favorite item on the menu. My family & I are hooked! I always get the whitening sandwich fried crispy with extra cheese. The fish is always seasoned to perfection. The breading gives it a bit of crunch, but the actual fish is tender. I also get the fries with my sandwich which are hand cut & delicious. The staff is friendly & they walk your food to your car. They only accept cash so come prepared. They only have a drive through (which I love) so don't expect to eat in. I always recommend locals & visitors alike to visit this place. read more

The only reason I didn't give 5 stars was because of the long wait . The food is fresh and well seasoned and this is coming from a picky eater. The portions are past large enough to fill you up, this is my go to place for fish sandwiches now ! read more
