“ Love looking for local places when I travel. Saw the sign for fish and chicken on the exit sign from the highway. Wasn't a chain and fish sounded like a great lunch. So I stopped in. Had the 2 piece catfish special. It was great, Just like my dad's.! It came with fries and a can of soda for 9 bucks. The person who helped me was very friendly. The inside is not much to look at and only has 2 tables but there was a lot of carry out. I would recommend this place and come back when in the area again! ”

“ Solid fried chicken! Recommend calling in your order ahead of time for them to prepare your food fresh. ”

“ First time visit today for lunch. I've been hearing about this place. I ordered the fish and wings. Out of this world seasoning. Both the fish and chicken were perfectly cooked. My new regular stop now! 5 STARS! ”

“ Great food!!! The lemon pepper literally goes on anything!! And the price isn't that bad either!!! ”

“ If you're looking for good fried chicken, look no further! I've passed by this place so many times, and today I pulled in. It was a definitely the right decision. After ordering at the counter, I actually saw my chicken being dredged in flour BY HAND, then put in to fry. Took maybe 15 minutes, and came with fries, & bread. My order included legs, thighs, wings, & gizzards. It was WONDERFUL!! Light breading, and perfectly seasoned! I'll definitely be back! (I will probably call in advance next time). The only downside was that the wings were not real big. Please support this local business!! ”

“ Super JJ Fish & Chicken 1510 Market Street Bloomington, IL. 61701 Altoona, IA 1:02am 12/1/19 I would have bet my left testicle that I had already written a review for JJ's but my search to update my previous showed that I hadn't. I was in Bloomington on business because why the hell else would someone choose to go there. It's not a bad town, not at all, but it's five hours away from my favorite person. She thought about joining me but her business kept her in Des Moines. This would be the fourth time that I visited a JJ's, my third here in Bloomington. My other visit was to the JJ's that was briefly located in Merle Hay mall in DSM but unfortunately it didn't make it. Location is everything. If your looking for healthy, then JJ's should not be on your radar. If your looking for delicious, well then you've found it. A little over halfway in my drive from Des Moines to Bloomington, my boss called me to remind me of my past travel indulgences and to "take it easy" with the expense report. He knows that I am fan of lower end hotels in the seedier parts of town and normally higher end restaurants yet felt compelled to mention that he could certainly afford a steak or two. JJ's doesn't serve steak but they do serve fried catfish and chicken wings which are two of my favorite foods and at very reasonable prices. When I finally arrived in Bloomington and checked into the hotel, I was met in the lobby by my right hand man "Stones" who was still recovering from a pretty serious injury but wanted to get back to work even though he was somewhat limited. He was ready to eat and wanted to go to the place that I hate almost as much as genital warts and it was barely after 5 pm at this point. "Go right ahead. Enjoy yourself. I've got a few personal things I need to take care of then I'm going to JJ's" A few phone calls later and I'm driving through parts of Bloomington that I probably shouldn't be in, procuring things that I probably shouldn't be procuring but what is life if not one big adventure. Judge me all you want but I'll tell you this. The drugs that my doctor has me on are far, far worse then any pharmaceutical enhancements I may enjoy. When I arrived at JJ's it was pushing 9 pm and there was a gentleman at the counter waiting for his order who sat down at a table when I walked in. I was greeted immediately but took a few minutes to look at the menu which is posted in the wall behind the counter. Not really sure why I did because I already knew what I wanted, a 2/4 combo (2 catfish fillets, 4 wings) and breaded mushrooms. A few things that you should know about JJ's 1. It smells like grease. It doesn't take a Rhodes Scholar to figure this one out. Just about everything is deep fried and why wouldn't it be. Remember it's deliciousness that we are seeking. 2. This isn't fast food so be prepared to wait. Everything is prepared as it is ordered so be patient. and 3. Be prepared to answer the question "Would you like lemon pepper" multiple times with an enthusiastic "Yes I would, thank you" I excused myself to the boom boom room while they prepared my order and dearsweetbabyjesus I was almost knocked out by the fog of stench that filled my nostrils when opening the door. It smelled like Miley Cyrus took a colossal dump after being tag team fisted by Mel Gibson and Hulk Hogan. How it hadn't wafted out into the dining area was a miracle unto itself. I said nothing when returning to the counter after doing my business and they were just finishing up my order. "Sir, would you like lemon pepper" "Yes Sir I would, thank you very much" I paid my bill and took the food back to the room with me but not before stopping at the c store and grabbing a couple packs of Pall Mall orange talls, and a 3 Dt Dr Peppers. It was all delicious and the hot pepper cheese balls were absolutely the right choice. No fork or napkins in the bag kinda pissed me off so I had to eat the coleslaw with my pocket knife because I was to lazy to walk the 50 feet from my room to the lobby to grab one. JJ's is one of those places where you're either a fan or you're not. There is no middle ground here. I'm a fan. My cardiologist and colon, not so much. 4 nonne magnus est vita mirificus ”

“ Lunch out with hubby after getting drivers license renewed. This place is in the same building as the DMV and they also have a second location in town on Hershey just north of Empire. It's a simple place. Order at the counter but the great thing about it is they hand batter the fish and chicken pieces after ordering. It really does make a difference on the fresh product Hubby loves liver and it's not something you can find just anywhere so we had chicken livers and walleye. Both came with fries. We also ordered corn nuggets onion rings and mac n cheese bites. The sides came from a frozen bag but the corn nuggets were really tasty. We will definitely return. It was a lot of food for $20 ”
