Jj Fish & Chicken

Food was delicious, guy at counter was super nice. I got the 46 combo with chicken, fries and a catfish filet. Came out fast, hot, and fresh, cannot recommend this place enough

Catfish nuggets were pretty damn good, they didn’t have that dirty water taste. Highly recommend. Chicken tenders were a bit tough and dry, not really a fan of the tenders. Hush puppies were okay. Cat fish nuggets— 10/10 Tenders— 5/10 Hush puppies— 3.5/10

The staff was fantastic! Very friendly. I'll come back because of the staff and food. The man at the drive thru window was so friendly and fun! The food was hot and fresh. Great prices. We had a catfish and a cod dinner. Shrimp as well.

We saw someone mentioning JJ's on TikTok so we drove down to Lakewood to try them out. He loves catfish and hasn't been able to find good catfish (not to be confused with 'pretentious/high-end' catfish) in the Seattle/Tacoma area. This down-to-earth and humble shop makes GOOD... REALLY GOOD catfish. And if you can see from the photos, a 1/2 lb of catfish nuggets, with fries is generous! The fish was fresh and perfectly cornmeal-coated crunchy, and the fries (which usually end up being the second-fiddle, and barely worth noting) were crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. I had the smaller (1/2 lb) of the chicken gizzards. I've had chicken gizzards many times in the past, and I've had them from a few notable places in the area: Shinya Shokudo (Seattle), Ezell's (Renton), & Friday's Chicken (Kent)... just to name a few. JJ's chicken gizzards didn't have any metallic/iron taste that I associate with them, on average. This is ultimately a win, in my opinion. The breading was super crispy on them, and another huge bonus, was the dusting of Cajun dry seasoning they use on just about every fish/chicken item they sell (which they also sell by the shaker jar full). Locally, I put them up at the top of my list, next to Friday's Korean fried chicken style gizzards. I'd be willing to try them side-by-side to see which is the ultimate winner. And the staff? Again, so humble and polite! They had a little rush when we stopped in, but most were taking their food to go. There's a window bar with stools, and a couple of tables filling the rest of the space, so we decided to eat there. The guy who took our order came out to check on us, even though he didn't need to. This place needs more local support! Get their catfish nuggets and don't turn your nose up at the chicken gizzards! My only regret is we didn't try the desserts or appetizers.

So crispy and the seasoning is cravably unique and tasty! Is it lemon pepper seasoned salt? So good!! I complained about paying over $22 for a catfish lunch combo which didn't even include a drink at that price, and they kindly suggested catfish nuggets as a less expensive alternative. I appreciated that and it was an extra crunchy alternative that was a pleasant surprise and almost half the price for a huge serving, piping hot made for me! The tartar sauce is TERRIBLE and I would expect a place like this to have at least a semi-home made tartar available not this packaged food service gross kind. I do look forward to eating here again and trying other menu options!

Honestly not even joking if you’re Muslim and you’re looking for food that’s halal I will come here every day you’re guaranteed 100% to be full. It will not be hungry after eating here no matter what plate you order. It’s enough to feed you and somebody else with you for sure, The food is good. The staff are very nice and respectful highly recommended as a Muslim catfish nuggets for impeccable. Don’t listen to the bad reviews. Go for yourself And check it out or whatever you want you’re getting every dollar worth, These small businesses are 100 times better and more noble than these big fast food chains with the slimy greasy staff that you don’t know what they’ll do to your food if If you even look at them wrong or they misinterpret something you say or they messed up on the order, These are Muslims cooking with God in mind

If you’re looking for good catfish or wings THIS IS THE PLACE TO GO!!! We eat here at least 3x a month and it ALWAYS CONSISTENT. The catfish nuggets are what we mainly get and it’s enough to feed at least 3 people. My fiancée and I never finish it in one sitting and that’s with us sharing. We’ve also had their catfish fillets and their fried chicken which is absolutely amazing. We love Ali, they have great customer service, always really nice. I can say we have no complaints

This was my first time trying this place out. I ordered online and went in to pick up my and my sister's order. There were no other customers there at the time, but it seemed like a clean and organized establishment. I was greeted fairly quickly and helped by a very nice gentleman who confirmed the names for the orders and the items. I ordered the crispy chicken sandwich which came with fries and the napoli pizza. My sister ordered the mushrooms and fish fillets which also included fries. The sandwich was straight forward in the best possible way. A sum of its parts, fluffy sandwich roll, thin chicken patty, mayo, lettuce, and tomato. It was not convoluted, over-seasoned, or super fancy, just a well made chicken sandwich that I would definitely get again. It reminded me of the original chicken sandwich from Burger King and I am not mad at that. The chicken patty is a bit thinner, but the flavor and sandwich were well balanced. The fries were as described, crispy outside and fluffy inside. In order to achieve the fluffy inside, the fries are slightly larger cut than typical shoestring fries but not quite as large as steak fries. The pizza was simply seasoned with a fluffy crust, but delicious. It may not be toe to toe with pizzeria pizza but it was tasty to me! I tried the mushrooms and they were probably the best fried mushrooms I have ever tried! Perfectly seasoned, hot, and crispy outside but juicy inside. I enjoy food that is simple and straight forward and this place did not disappoint. The food is intentional and made by people who know their craft and I appreciate it.
