JJ Fish & Chicken — Restaurant in Covington

UPDATE Review 12/24 Decided to give this plate another try after my daughter’s urging. This time I tried the wings. They were very good and seasoned. The fact that you can get 10 WHOLE wings for $13 is amazing. Especially when I’ve been going elsewhere and getting 10 wing portions for more.

They also give you a lot of French fries, as well as two pieces of bread. It’s honestly a deal. Their favored lemonades are also pretty good. I don’t know if I’ll give the fish another try, but I’ll definitely be back for more wings.

8/24 ⭐️⭐️ Ordered for the first time today. Both my husband and I ordered the catfish nugget meal. The good thing is everything smelled good, and I loved the fact that they weren’t stingy with the nuggets. It was so much food that we both put half of it away to eat the remainder later. Needless to say we were both excited to dig in.

Unfortunately the food was not up to par. The included coleslaw was super tiny. It was also bland and didn’t really taste like anything. I could look past that because it wasn’t the main dish. What I couldn’t ignore was the fact that the catfish nuggets were extremely fishy tasting. I mean they were disgusting. Add in the fact that I ended up with a bunch of hard bones in some of the nuggets. We tried to jazz it up with hot sauce and tartar sauce, but it still turned out inedible and ending up trashing it. I’m super annoyed because the entire meal was ruined. Wasted $25 because neither of us plan to eat the other half.

I will not be eating at this establishment again, and it’s sad because I heard such great things...

FIRST TIME EATING AT JJ FISH EVER! First teach your front desk folks proper etiquette, I know this is supposed to be "hood/ghetto" food but employees don't need to act like it. Take lessons from chik-fi-la if you're lost. Secondly I really wish I knew that ALL of their wings were sprinkled with that thing. The guy said it was lemon pepper I'm not a fan of lemon pepper anything! So that order was wasted, it was already paid for so I took it out of respect. Emphasis on RESPECT teach your employees that. Third the food actually looks like the pictures! except no indication of white dust on it. Definitely won't be returning! Too ghetto and rude... Apparently it's NORMAL!!! But it's not my normal. And I hate lemon pepper seasoning. And maybe have a sign that indicates where to order and where to pick up, the young lady was acting annoyed even though I repeatedly said this is my first time ever ordering JJ fish & chicken. Then the guy that stepped in was even ruder! So I guess it's my fault. And maybe he should Google what an assembly line is. I know you don't need a masters degree to work there but the way everything is set up is definitely an example of an assembly line and maybe he won't get upset and he'll understand what other forms of intelligence mean when they use that term when describing the...

The restaurant is located next door to a gas station. idk why the Google listing says Dollar General. Full disclosure, I’m a Chicago native (Chicago proper, NOT the suburbs) and I ate at JJ Fish on the regular growing up. The food quality was good fresh and crispy and seasoning was superb. I got the chicken and fish plate. The food quality is the same as the McDonough location, the plate comes stacked on top of slices of white bread with fries --which is how it's served in Chicago. Everyone is very nice, the restaurant just opened and is still being set up. As for the Nextdoor review with the picture of the oversized fly (I don’t know why you’d take a picture of your food with a 1 inch fly on it THEN post it) and the other reviews about flies, all I can say is I sat in the restaurant at 4 in the afternoon on a hot July day and ate my food and the flies weren’t so noticeably bad that they bothered me. Your food is served in a container that is placed in a bag.Sounds like JJ Fish has some competition that doesn’t want to lose part of the Covington market 😂That is to say do you, it’s a matter of your comfort level. You should...
