It's fried fish in the hood exactly what you'd expect. Fried crispy well seasoned,served in a paper bag with hella fries served hot and fresh. The people working were cool, we made small talk until my to go order was ready. Only a few people so it was fairly quiet, not much noise, pretty clean place, I would return

My husband got fish and gumbo from the JJ's in Antioch. Best gumbo I ever had. Now I can stop making it myself and just go to JJ's!

The best fried catfish here and love the tartar sauce . The macaroni salad is good. Has a nice flavor. I love coleslaw. That's good. Fries are good and I love that they give slices of bread with the fish.

The look is the same at each restaurant rather you're in Oakland or Richmond. It is clean. They have a good selection of food. I'm satisfied with their food and cost. They're located in the minority area.

I'm from Long Beach, Ca. so we don't have a JJ's in the LA area so when i came out here and had a taste of JJs i've been hooked every since i get it almost every month... lol sometimes i don't like how stingy they are with the lemon powder seasoning ontop of the chicken i might have to buy my own bottle at this point but nevertheless i love the chicken fresh and hot. the customer service is always fast and they are so responsive and respectful and the ambiance is just like being in LA eating good chicken in the hood

Why JJ's? Because there comes a time when a fast food fish sandwich from the larger chain restaurants just aren't as fulfilling anymore. There is a real difference in eating a real piece of fish instead of a squared block of fish masquerading as a fish fillet that brings us a lot closer to being homemade. The food is very good here. Although the surroundings are not the greatest, restaurants like this are fully appreciated by the local community as well as many others. I basically come for the fish but they do offer a wide selection of other things. The service was very good, as it was not busy when I arrived however I did notice a lot of people who called in their orders ahead of time walking in. The city of Oakland has many great places to eat, this is just one of them.

Usually go to the one in Sacramento but today found myself in Oakland visiting my great uncle X (sn, he's black panther hence the last name X... its alot of history, black history when we do lunch.) We went to his usual laundry spot and there's JJs . last time I went I gave em 3 stars, this time was better so I am going with 4. I liked it a lot, and very convenient to eat while waiting for laundry. Yay multitasking. This location stays on brand with the huge portions --we ate whiting cause I like it better than catfish. Also got jumbo shrimp fries bread.... Tried their lemonade which I never have seen it was good. Dessert was chocolate cake, idunno why but it wasn't moist enough for me. All in all thought, twas Pretty good. Not bad.
