JJ Fish & Chicken - St. Louis

Mmm mmm mmm....love me some jj's fish and chicken. I know you've seen this place and passed it right on by. I honestly wish they still had a location in South City as they did so many years ago. I do not venture out into North Co very often. Right next to a Lee's chicken and I prefer to go here. The fried cat fish, regular fried chicken wings, and the hot wings are Yuuummmy! Love the fries as well and some old heads have told me they make a super fried tripe sandwich. Love that the wings are seasoned and crispy. The people cooking here are Arab and I ain't mad at it. Just don't ever start slacking on my wings. They have cheap family pack dinners, too.

I went to JJ's Fish Chicken to get the catfish nuggets I love so much, but was greatly disappointed. On the outside electronic advertising board they have a Tuesday special(2pcs chicken .99¢ /or 2pcs fish for $1.99) I thought great I'll feed the whole family. When I went in and asked for the special I was told they no longer had that special. I asked why was the electronic sign still up? The cashier stated the manager had not taken it down. I asked the young lady was this not false advertisement? She didn't answer. I asked for a manager he was not available. I will no longer patronize a restaurant with no integrity. I have been a pretty good customer of JJ's, but after this incident I or my family will never go there again. Isn't false advertising illegal?

If you are not concerned with how a place looks and only care about price and taste, then definitely buy some food here. If looks bother you, then close your eyes or don't go here. Today was my first visit here. I didn't care much for the way the place looked. Quite frankly it is a dump. But I wanted a gyro. I was not disappointed. It was very good.

My GPS brought me here when I asked for the nearest JJ Fish as I wanted some friend Chicken Wings; however, when I got here, I do not think it is a JJ Fish anymore. When I got there (10/08/2011) they had a special; $3.99 for 4 Wings and fries. You can't beat the price. The Wings were okay but it did not taste like JJ Fish. It was missing something. The place could also use major cleaning. But, HEY, you can't beat the price. Good eating.
