JJ Fish & Chicken — Restaurant in Hyde Park Township

First time trying under new management was on Friday, December 16. I ended up getting the 4 wings and 2 pc catfish special. First red flag was that with the 2 pc catfish, only comes in fillet. It's very obvious to me that this J and J Fish and Chicken is selling swai fish as catfish. Why can't I get the catfish with bones in it? Real catfish is more expensive than chicken wings but with some of those "deals" it's cheaper to get catfish? This is not the first time I've seen this deceptive practice. I had to pay extra for steak pieces which is fine. Although, that doesn't necessarily insure that it's USDA catfish either. Swai comes in steak as well. Beware. Swai is imported and not regulated by USDA. Not only are the prices high enough already, you might not even be getting what you think you're getting. Now the food was cooked very fresh. But again I was highly suspicious of the catfish that I received. The pieces were quite small and a little too breaded and had some type of perfumed scent that I couldn't explain. I decided that I can't trust the fish but this can be my go to wing spot. But before I left a review I returned again on Monday, December 19. Let me see if they're consistent. I ordered the whole chicken wings only this time. Needless to say, although I know it was cooked fresh just not the same as before. The cook can make all the difference in the world. The first cook was an older man and he can throw down. He know how to fry it up right. I notice that the second time it was a younger man who was on the register the first time. Well, they need to leave him on the register because he didn't cook the wings right, they were overall too soggy. I don't typically request fried hard. I just want it fried right. I didn't bother to complain because once it gets to that point, I don't need to be...

This place is absolutely HORRIBLE that older loud mouth lady acts like she’s on drugs. And I haven’t seen her there in a while and I hate that she’s back in there wherever she was at she needs to go back.She overreacts and she is so rude. She don’t need to be in there at all she was complaining about the other guys not being there saying they do this at least three times a week she kept on showing one of the customers that she was talking to her fruit and her salads that she made at home she kept taking them in and out the refrigerator (Crack)saying she was going to eat them and saying how healthy she was getting and just being annoying.You at work lady act like it all while there is fish the that needs to be cooked all these call ins in here and no food ready. she said I didn’t call there and make a order then I said Somebody gave me the number double zero then she said it was probably me if that’s not drugs I don’t know what it is. The phone kept ringing she kept telling the other girl don’t answer it I’m going to take it off the hook today. Why are you Letting customers hear how rude and unprofessional you are.(Crack) you can get loud I can get louder 😂 I only come to this one because it’s convenient from where I be at in the area but the other one is way better. She don’t need to work in there somebody is going to be waiting on her at the door she if keep that attitude up why would you argue with a paying customer. Why run somebody else’s business in the ground?I know why Because she don’t care its not hers. Beware of this place and make sure your fish is cooked and they give you all...

I can say I’ve been going to this J&J’s since I was 6-7 years old. Im 23 now in Med school. Would literally vouch to all my family and friends thats this was the best J&Js in the city. Literally would never go to anyone else no matter where in town I was. Came back to the south side to visit parents and decided to stop by since their open now. Firstly, the prices are more higher. I literally would eat this everyday and come to this side of town just for a shrimp dinner. The price previously was $11.10 for a small shrimp. Now it’s $15+ and its less shrimp and barely fries. I asked for bread they did not put any in there after the lady said she would make sure. They tried to charge me a $1.00 for an “extra” sauce. The lady told me “it’s just a dollar I cant give you anything for free” and tried to argue me up and down. I’ve have been there over 100 times and never had got asked to pay more upon sauce request. I even would let them keep my change for a tip. Literally done gave them so much money over the years just for a tip! It just ashamed how people can come into our neighborhood and treat us so poorly. I will not be back. They gave me a few shrimps and like 9 fries literally. No bread. And had the nerve to ask me to pay more for a sauce. I cannot support this business anymore. The cashier was just trifling and...
