The food the service was outstanding whether you're getting fried catfish or smoked ribs. You can't go wrong with any selection. The atmosphere is relaxed and family style.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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