JJ Fish & Chicken — Restaurant in Dayton

JJ’s Fish & Chicken on Salem Avenue is a hidden gem in Dayton’s food scene. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted by the welcoming aroma of freshly cooked food and the friendly smile of the woman who runs the place. She’s a true rockstar, juggling orders, cooking, and serving with an effortless grace that makes you feel like you’re her only customer.

The food is the real star of the show, though. The fish is always cooked to perfection, with a crispy batter that gives way to tender, flaky flesh. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, with a crispy coating that’s never greasy. And the sides, from the fluffy fries to the creamy coleslaw, are all made from scratch and taste like it.

But what really sets JJ’s apart is the attention to detail. The food is always piping hot and fresh, and the portions are generous. You can tell that the woman who runs the place takes pride in her work, and it shows in every bite.

I do not live in Dayton Ohio I was visiting and decided to stop and get a whiting fish dinner. My fish dinner was not good. It wasn't done. I called asked to speak to the manager.

I yes and it's mine and I want all of my money. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE YOU DO NOT WANT TO...

I was pleasantly surprised by the food and the service. I was looking for a take-out spot with good fried fish & I found it. Mind you-- it's in the hood & it's a no-frills sort of place, and the surroundings leave much to be desired, BUT I had EXCELLENT service. The food was piping hot, and pretty quick, even though there were about 4 people ahead of me.
