J&J Oyster Bar

A local hidden gem, with fresh oysters!! They had some great chargrilled oysters with different flavor profiles. Service was amazing!!

J&J's is one of our regular go to's, usually for Gulf oysters or fried shrimp, but in the winter we go for Angel's off the chain chili. And today did not disappoint. This is chili Nirvana. We set out on a FTW chili quest last winter and then as now the chili that Angel whips up here at J&J's we think is the king of the hill. It is pretty much the same as he was making back in the day at Fred's. And now, as then, it is the bomb. Chock full of tender cubes of sirloin, a perfect balance of chili seasonings, and heat that makes your palate stand up and salute the Texas and Mexico flags. It is topped with a generous layer of cheese, garnished with a handful of sliced fresh jalapeños and then finished under the broiler. We each brought about half of our servings 'home for supper this evening. J&J's has an expansive menu. My one wish for the store would be to see the beer game elevated. I suspect that taps are not doable here due to space constraints, but surely some of the great local bottled and canned beers could be added to the offerings. But the chili. Y'all need this in your life!

We have been frequenting this local seafood dive in Fort Worth since about 2010. Of course, when we lived here frequent was more than what it means now - which is when we come to town!Excellent fish tacos, gumbo, chowder, oysters, shrimp! It's all really good and very reasonable on the price for excellent fish/seafood, etc. with a Louisiana/Gulf Coast flairThis location offers outside dining under a canopy and a small inside dining space with bar seating, as well. The wait staff have always been fast and friendly with their service and today's visit was no different. The drink of choice was waters all around. Add plenty of food for the whole family (no dessert needed today - too full!), we cashed out just over $45 for two adults and two kids under 10.

The food and service were perfect. Me and my wife both loved the ambiance and Dallas was a pretty chill server. He was welcoming, got our order correct and checked on us throughout the meal. The raw oysters on the half shell were meaty and delicious. Served with cocktail sauce, lemon wedges, and horse radish, which of course is the perfect combination. They were fresh and delicious. I also ordered the Mexican shrimp cocktail, and hands down, one of the best classic shrimp cocktails. Very plentiful. My wife ordered the grilled shrimp tacos and she loved them. She loves shrimp and was not disappointed in the portion and flavor. Beers were cold and delicious. We will be going back. I'm only disappointed in myself for growing up here and never stopping by. It's now my journey to make up lost time and keep coming back.

This place is such findGreat oysters Fried and grilled fishAnd this time of year the BEST CHILI IN TOWN!!!

Our new go to for seafood cravings. Oysters were fresh and juicy. Shrimp was nice & spicy, best seasoning I have EVER had! Service was great, people were great!!!

This former Taco Bell restaurant has been transformed into a solid and charmingly funky seafood joint. The service is quick and friendly and the food is spectacular. My companion said the gulf oysters were fresh and tasty, and the gumbo very good. My combo basket, with fried catfish, shrimp, hush puppies, and fries, was piping hot and delicious. Everything tasted clean and fresh, without any greasy excess. Even the fries seemed to be fresh cut, from actual potatoes.Ft Worth is a long drive for me, but if and when I'm back, J&an would be high on my list for a return.

The oysters here are delicious. Just the right amount of brine! Dallas is one of the best servers we've encountered!! A nice cold Modelo complements the food perfectly!!

Been eating there for over 30 yrs. About 6 times a year on average. Great Gulf Coast oysters and a stout horseradish condiment on the side. It' rocks! The seasoned grilled shrimp, gumbo, crawfish "when in season" and fried fish have always been good. You'll like it...Go!

This place is a hole in the wall that can be easily skipped over! Affordable, cold beer and a family favorite
