Fat Jack's Chicken and Fish

Wheeeeewee, talk about good eating. Jet lag from China has been kicking my tail. With that being said, I was up at 1:30am starving. I decided to ask Facebook for a tasty restaurant open in the wee hours of the night. To my surprise, a friend recommended Fat Jack's and told me the drive thru stays open until 2am. I put the pedal to the metal and pulled up about 1:45am. Boy was I pleasantly surprised that they were open, moderately priced and very customer friendly. The wait for fresh fries wasn't bad and from the pic below, absolutely worth it! The owner reached out to me on IG thanking me for being a patron. Go dabble in this fantastic seafood

Had the the catfish and okra. The seasoning was delicious. Not sure if they make their own or not but either way it was good. Cooked a little on the crispy side, which for me I like. Was hot and fresh. The okra tasted wonderful as well.

I'm not sure that they season their fish with, but it's delicious. Portions are good and they usually have some type of special going on, so the prices are always good. I can't wait to try their shrimp.

Total disappointment. We ordered the 12 piece wings and fries to go. My 9 & 11yr old boys said it tasted funny. My wife didn't like it either. I decided to try the chicken. It tasted like leftovers from the day before that had been reheated in old grease. They were friendly. I like to support black owned and new KC businesses.However, if I had seen a review like this, I would not have wasted our time and money.

If you blink you will drive right past it. The food was very good. I had the catfish & shrimp combo. The shrimp was huge, fish had great taste. The sides was very flavorful. I had mixed greens & coleslaw. I also tried a side of gizzards, they were fried to perfection. Definitely worth checking out.

The chicken and fish was so delectable that once i tasted it,I literally started pop locking in the parking lot and people started driving buy and honking as I continued to pop lock with a piece of fish in my mouth. Absolutely ostentatious.

Everything was Seasoned to perfection and fresh . Cooked well done and delivered on time through DoorDash .

Patrick and I were doing postmates and someone placed an order from here and it smelled delicious so we decided we would try this place in our free time. The nice thing about this place is that they're open late. I mean late late. On Saturdays they're open until 2am. There's not many places you can go and get fried chicken that late. I was sad because I wanted some sweet potatoes, but by the time I arrived, the sides were all sold out. Overall, the food was hella good. I ordered the 4 piece wing (dry lemon pepper) and 4 jumbo shrimp. I love how many dry and wet options of sauces they offer. However, I was confused because we ordered through the drive thru, pulled up to the window and she forget that we even ordered so we were waiting for about 30 minutes. But I would definitely give this place a try.

Do you like fried food? I like fried food, so I like Fat Jack's. Tried them via doordash for lunch today. Sampled the jumbo shrimp, the fish, and the chicken wings. Their breading is more flavorful than most, which is welcome since I've eaten from a lot of similar places around town that were lacking for flavor or too dry, which Fat Jack's fried foods are also not too dry. Frying is done correctly and moisture is locked in, especially the wings which, while not the meastiest I've ever had, were moist and delicious. Jumbo shrimp here are very much jumbo, also to an extent you won't find at many similar joints. The fish was seasoned well also and very good. My daughter also got a fish sandwich kids meal which was a good value - the sandwich had some lettuce and cheese on it in addition to the choice of catfish or whiting which will of course be fried. As far as sides go, I tried the mac and cheese, sweet potatoes, and the fries that came on the side, and they were all pretty good. The mac and cheese was a bit on the light/watery side compared to what I generally prefer which is thicker. After placing my order, a young lady called me from the restaurant to confirm what type of fish I wanted on my daughter's fish sandwich kids meals. She was very nice, so while I haven't been in here yet in person, I'd say it's fair to say that the service is probably very good just based on interacting with her on the phone.

They have the greatest fish and chicken. The jumbo shrimp are divine. This is the best fish place in Kansas City by far. This is my second time visiting this establishment and each time it taste better than the last. The quality is outstanding.
