A delicious selection of fried fish and chicken, a full diner for $15. The hot sauce tastes great. The local is very small, more properly for takeout than dine in.

This is not a good business. We were walking by and a homeless man outside stated he was hungry. It is the holy month of Ramadan we decided to do something good out of the kindness of our hearts. This restaurant is 100% halal as it claims so we thought he would understand. My husband ordered the food for the man and throughout the transaction, the man taking our order kept staring at the homeless man, knowing we were ordering for him. We kept saying we wanted wings and a pop, he was so focused on discriminating toward the homeless man he didn’t hear and had to do two transactions. He asked my husband if he trusted him and said that it was too late if my husband did not trust him because we already paid. He claimed that the homeless man was going to throw away the food like he always does. Why would he do that unless you tampered with his food? We acted out of the kindness of our hearts and this restaurant employee ruined it. I hope he gave this man his food but the way he acted was highly inappropriate and rude. I told the homeless man to eat somewhere else because the man was not kind and I don’t think that was fair. I would be weary about visiting this business.

The food here is over priced and it tastes old ... never eat here ..

This place seems to be somewhat hit or miss, and they knocked my order out of the park with large portions and tasty food! That said, the place was packed and things seemed a little chaotic behind the counter and in the kitchen - but it's Chicago, what else would you expect?

I've been visiting this place for years. Best hot wings in downtown Chicago. They don't skimp on the lemon pepper or the hot sauce. I would recommend this place to anyone. And it's very affordable compared to the other place around the area.

They serve old food. My perch was dried out and old. My chicken was old as well. You can tell they dipped it in grease to try to cover it up. Fried too. Pile of old food in a lot of

I ordered a small order of catfish(bone-in) and they provided me with catfish fillets because that’s what they wanted me to have. The catfish fillets were hard and I’m ultimately 100% annoyed and will never order from this location again. I called and was presented with attitude after they messed up my order. I’m so disgusted with my order and the service. I order from J&J’s all the time and never have I ordered catfish and received fillets.

Went to JJ’s for my first time during lunch hour and asked for catfish to-go. Got back to work and was given the wrong order. The shrimp was dry and no lemon was put in the bag.

Food is good, but sometimes they saturate the food.

Thinnest, driest catfish fillets I’ve ever had
Catfish was nasty. Just tasted like pounded flour. Very crunchy. Catfish was not flaky very dry. The cakes was good.
