JJ Fish and Chicken — Restaurant in Vallejo

I’m normally not one for leaving reviews, but honestly don’t know WHAT happened. Jj’s used to be good. Until today, I had NEVER received NASTY chicken from any location, let alone Valleyjo. The chicken was so overcooked that it was dry and hard. It tasted of, and had the texture of chicken that was fried three days ago, then refried and given to us. We spent 52 dollars on inedible food. It was as dry as the Sahara desert ON TOP of being under seasoned. As soon as we got home and I saw the color of the chicken, I knew something was wrong. It was the color of overcooked chicken fried in old oil. We used to call the wings from JJ’s, “pterodactyl wings” because they were so big and juicy. Previously the chicken was ALWAYS fried to perfection, and I never had a complaint. Unfortunately, after spending 52 dollars on chicken we couldn’t eat, I won’t be back…..EVER....

The cashier and the other workers were playing in the kitchen instead of cooking the food and getting orders out I sat in there for at least 30 minutes to get my fish and french fries this is why most black businesses go out of business because the workers are not doing the job you need to tighten up on your workers and then I'll think about coming back to your place of business the food is good don't get me wrong but the cashiers are not professional and don't get me wrong I'm a black man what I thought was lack of leadership in the establishment you need to hire the right workers then your business will flourish! I'm just keeping it real and you probably already know this but you're not doing anything about it don't wait until you get on the verge of going out of business and try to do something about the situation...

The food quality has seriously deteriorated over the years. I used to gladly pay bridge toll to go to JJs. No more. The "catfish" was suspect(catfish is NOT fluffy in texture). The hushpuppies were raw in the middle.(This has been a REGULAR occurance for the past few years..everytime I've tried them..don't fry them in the same fryer as the fish - the temp is too high). The onion rings were not.(chopped onion w/TONS of filler formed into a ring). THIS was not a one-time experience. Ever since the original staff has gone, the quality of the food has steadily decreased. I hope this review makes them pay more attention to what they're doing. The food is too expensive to be so cheaply prepared. BUT, the JUMBO...
