J Wings — Restaurant in Fultondale

I purchased a light sea food plate that consisted of a 4pc order of fried tilapia, which came with a subpar but appreciated 3 pieces of white bread. J Wings’ Chef cooked their fish to a perfection this evening. My order wasn’t drenched and smothered with grease, the natural taste and freshness wasn’t over saturated with msg, their fish was fried light golden this evening, and my meal was light to the touch with every bite. J Wings’ Chef took me back to a place that I’ve never been this evening. Back to a place where I physically saw the Chef catch that fish, smack that fish upside its fish head, and tell that fish that it would be the best tasting Tilapia that Birmingham has ever tasted. That fish said,“With pleasure.”. Right before it came into my life and comforted my taste buds with the hugs and affirmations of 1,000,000 fish from Sea Food Heaven. I am forever grateful for J Wings and the man or woman who prepared my meal this evening, and hope to purchase many more dishes from J Wings that make me feel the same way that they’re business has made me feel today. This 4pc Tilapia Dish gets a cool 7.5 out of 10. -...

Decided to go here after reading the reviews while visiting Alabama. Didn't want to go too far from hotel. Should've known there was an issue when we pulled up and this place was a part of a service station. But figured, like home, sometimes the best food comes from places like this. Clearly not the case.

First issue was their menu prices that were covered with black duct tape. I asked the young man did that mean they didn't have those items and he said no, it meant they updated their prices so I had to ask how much everything was.

I will say the customer service was really great and their cajun ranch fries were really good. The boneless chicken however, was the worst. It was so salty, it really was not edible. And it was hard and tasted old.

The fried green tomatoes were good, but they too were so overly seasoned they really weren't edible either. To boot these two dinner combos, a fried green tomato and two drinks cost us over $30.00. Now I'm still hungry and have to go out to spend more money....

In the 9 years I've been in Birmingham, I never found a wing spot to call my own. So what are the odds that I finally do so after moving to Gardendale? Well apparently they are 100% in my favor because J Wings has filled that void!

The wings are very good and can be cooked to order such as "fried hard" or "extra crispy". There are a plethora of flavors including a tasty house flavor that's a lemon pepper hybrid called "swag"! The wings aren't baby wings and they aren't artificially large... Perfect size. Also, as a general rule of thumb... Any wing place you go to and can get wings for less than $1 each, you're winning!

Customer service is pleasant, prompt and personable! Even in the drive thru. Yes there's a drive thru. The shop is connected to a Shell gas station and you can walk between the two without going outside.

I've had 5 flavors thus far and intend to eventually try them all....
