Big J J's Fish & Chicken — Restaurant in Peoria

As a Door Dasher I've rarely had an order that I've picked up when it was slow and after smelling their delicious fried food I finally caved to see what makes their food so popular. I don't remember the exact time I went here other than it was after 10:30am but before noon and I got there right before the rush started for the day as their wasn't too many orders when I walked in , but in the 10-15 minutes that I waited they had about 3-5 walk-ins and two Door Dash orders. Due to how busy it gets and the fact theirs no indoor dining, I highly suggest placing orders before going in or ordering through Door Dash. Since I never had their fish or chicken before I ordered a sampler and some extra not knowing what to expect. The walleye and catfish fillets were surprisingly very fresh and juicy and their wings were huge and the hot sauce was definitely hot! The seasoned fries were good as was the hush puppies. I feel though the biggest drawback is lack of options for wing flavors, seasonings, and they only come breaded. The fish though I don't think I could tire of as easily, because not too many places offer catfish and walleye...

THE ONLY THING THAT I CAN SAY ABOUT JJ'S IS, THEY ARE VERY REPETITOUS AND CONSISTENT. YOU WILL NEVER GET ANYTHING THATS NOT OVER COOKED OR BURNED. I'AM TALKING ABOUT THE JJ'S ON NORTH UNIVERSITY ST. THE FIRST THING THAT THEY SHOULD DO IS GO TO SCHOOL SO THEY CAN LEARN SOME AMERICAN ENGLISH. YEARS AGO THEY HAD GREAT FOOD. A LOT OF THEIR FOOD IS FAKE. FOR REAL CATFISH SANDWICHES YOU GET SWAI CATFISH INSTEAD OF CHANNEL CAT. FOR SUPPOSEDLY REAL WALLEYE, WHICH IT IS NOT. IT IS POLLACK FISH. YOU ARE BEING CHARGED HIGH DOLLAR MONEY FOR THIS FAKE FOOD. YOU DON'T GET THE DISCOUNT WHAT JJ'S GET. BUT WHATEVER YOU BUY THAT HAS TO BE DEEP FRIED IN THEIR OLD SMELLY BURNED OIL, IT WILL BE OVER COOKED OR BURNED. WHEN IT COMES TO THEIR SEAFOOD, ALSO BE CAREFUL IT MAYBE OVER REFRIGERATED. THEIR HIGH DOLLAR FOODS STAY REFRIGERATED LONGER FOR LACK OF SALES. I'M NOT GOING TO MENTION THEIR CHICKEN WINGS. ALL I WILL SAY IS, DISCUSTING !! THE ONLY REASON THAT I TRY THEM OUT IS, THEY ARE 4 BLOCKS FROM MY HOME. CONVENIENCE. LISTEN TO ME,...

I generally order for delivery multiple times a month because we all work. While the food is decent and resonably priced, i need someone to explain to me why the hell i would order 10 chicken tenders and fries and ONLY need ONE sauce cup. Friends, how do you math that one? Second, the app doesnt allow me to ask for/pay for extra.

Finally. If my order says no seasoning (why on earth lemon pepper by the gallon goes on everything they serve is beyond me) what would make you believe i want it not on part of my food, but, definitely make up for it by rolling my sides in it?!

Aaalllll of that said, by some physics denying sorcery, the food is always fresh and hot when i get it, and i deeply appreciate that. But. The sauce and seasonings thing, man....how can...
