JJ’s Chicken hits the spot every time! The chicken is crispy, juicy, and full of flavor. Fast service, good portions, and the seasoning? Chef’s kiss. Easily one of my go-to spots when I’m craving something satisfying.

I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich with fries. So good and the chicken tasted so fresh. Staff was friendly and place was spotless. Super clean i liked that the most. I will come again when I'm around the area.

Man, JJ Fish and Chicken never misses! Pulled up here the other night and grabbed a 10-piece wing combo with lemon pepper (14) and a catfish dinner (16), and let me tell you—fire. Wings were crispy, seasoned just right, and that catfish? Flaky, fresh, and straight-up addictive. Fries were hot and salty, just how they should be. Ain’t no frills here, just solid fried food that hits the spot every time. Service was quick, and the cashier was cool too. If you’re craving some late-night munchies or just want some bomb fried chicken, this is the spot.

Man, if you're craving some legit fried grub, JJ Fish & Chicken on E Adams is the spot. Dropped about 15 on their catfish nuggets dinner, and it was worth every penny. The nuggets were crispy on the outside, tender inside, and came with a heap of fries and coleslaw. The joint's no-frills, but the staff's friendly and they keep it clean. Perfect for a quick bite when you're downtown. Definitely hittin' this place up again when the fried food cravings hit.
