Very few places change oil as often as them which makes their food taste fresh! New remodeling looks great with TV screen menu & sleek looking lobby. It feels different !

We ordered fish, chicken, and shrimp for 15 people yesterday. No joke all of the food was ready in 20 minutes. So fresh, so delicious. Wish I lived closer. Do not leave here without trying the filet and the jumbo shrimp. Barbecue and hot tenders so good. Simply amazing. I haven’t tried the lemon pepper stuff yet. Will try it next time God Willing.

Would definitely recommend this place! Love the food and the service is pretty good. Go every day for my lunch break because I work nearby and always getting that lunch special. Only thing wrong is they close before I leave work.

Hey y’all
OK I stop at this place to get me some fresh hot wings and the food was OK. Not really like it use to be changed up owners a few times .and then I guess changed up the chicken. But when you do go make sure you are not alone its a hang out spot not in side but all over the outside. Oh well happy chicken

Good food but horrible service.
The staff Hardly speaks English, and they doesn’t know what poppers are, when they are clearly on the menu. Talk about bad customer service.
This place is a joke.

This particular JJs has been part of my life since I was a little girl sharing a catfish dinner with my brother on the way to Friday night church.
The food is fresh 99% of the time, and it’s always delicious. As much as I would love to try something new like… cathfish nuggets instead of catfish fillets, I just can’t quit them!
Here’s the deal:
Small/​Large Catfish dinner comes with 4 – 6 fillets, tons of fries, 2 spoonfuls of coleslaw, and 2 slices of white bread. Ask for wheat if you want, it’s just a tan version of the white stuff, though. The condiments bag comes with tangy hot sauce and ketchup.
The meal is NOT complete unless you request lemon pepper on the fish AND fries.
The lady behind the bulletproof window is not friendly unless she’s known you for years. The vending machine has the best colas, but water might be your best bet after all that fried goodness.
Call ahead of time or else you’ll be staring at the random pictures and posters hanging on the wall for quite awhile. Plan to eat at home or in the car — there’s no place to eat inside.
P. S. If you’re put off by hole-​in-​the-​wall-​grunge or sketchy characters, take a friend with you ’til you’re fully acquainted with this genre of delicacies.
