J & J Fish & Chicken

Their jumbo shrimp!!! It's only a few but their breaded good and no complaints of taste especially with a sprinkle of lemon pepper. The banana pudding tho! Best I've ever had... DONT skip that. Lady was nice who took my order, I called in for pickup.It's in a strip mall, plenty of parkingAnd the eyebrow place next door did my eyebrows while I waited. Win win.

We ordered the large Perch dinner and 6 piece wings. Quick, hot and ready to eat. Loved the convenient location. Food is always on point, everytime we visit Chicago we stop in and satisfy our cravings.

I tried the Jumbo shrimp special, comes with fries, bread, and coleslaw. The breading on the shrimp was just perfect, not over seasoned. The shrimp were cooked perfectly and were not dry at all. The fries had some seasoning as well and were great with mild sauce. The coleslaw was a just ok. Will definitely be back to try the wings.

No masks were worn during Omicron era of this Covid-19 pandemic. In a place serving FOOD! An airborne deadly virus and it's not taken seriously. Gloves on only one hand is not acceptable when preparing food !!! I'm disgusted. It also smelled of cigarettes which makes me barely be able to breathe personally.

Really good fish and chicken. Wish they sold vegetable side dishes (greens, green beans, spinach, salad or something.) Fried chicken is good EXCEPT THEY OFTEN DON'T CLEAN THE CHICKEN. LIKE FEATHERS that should have been pulled or burned off. That's really rude and disrespectful to customers to not clean/pull feathers. Otherwise J&J would have gotten one more star.

***** 5 STARS FOR LOCATION ONLY *****This location has been under new management and I give the location upgrade and easy 5 stars, The old prison glass is gone and replace with an open concept and contemporary lighting. The chairs along the wall and the unsightly huge vending machines are gone and replaced with mahogany tables and chairs and faux stone walls in warm beige and brown, Very nicely done. I've added photos of the new location *** 3 STARS FOR THE FOOD ***I can tell that the batter for the fish is different than the old owners. I never get the lemon pepper and I remember the fish being a little more flavorful. I ordered 2 catfish (fried hard) filet and 4 wings The batter on the filet did not adhere to the fish and both wings and fish were flavorless without the lemon pepper. The wings were not good quality like Harold's. Both the filet and wings were a little greasy as well. I've had better food there so I will continue to go but they at least need to add salt and pepper to the food.

On Friday evening of June 7, 2024, I went into J & J Fish and Chicken on 47th Street and lake Park , Chicago. I ordered what I frequently order, small chicken tenders and large fries. I went and sat and I noticed the price increase since last time on the tenders of a $1. I soon got the food and I went to my apartment. I noticed the tenders usually hold up better on the trip home. The breading was so soggy it was falling off at least two of the tenders. The chicken is usually hard . Not this time and I paid more for it this time. Also, they didn't give me as many fries as they usually do. If that wasn't bad enough , it looks as though something took a small bite out of one of the pieces of chicken. It was turned so I wouldn't notice it right away. I didn't.

Very nice business best food ever the cashier Sofian is the best customer service I only come spend my money for this place because Sofian is very respectful young man I recommend for this place

This was a horrid experience. Went to the JandJ in Lansing Il and they were sooo good. Tried this J and J a couple days later, no flavor, plastic, and over cooked.

New front desk person. Yada,Yada ......Ordered as usual; FOR YEARs. However, this time the order was not quit right. Asked for fish WELL Done.. The fish was not ....Well Done ....that was not the end of the world. HOWEVER! forgetting to put the lemon pepper seasoning on...is a HUGE DEAL BREAKER! I won't be back soon.
