Grilled Chicken was tender, green beans and sweet potatoes were well seasoned.

Service was great. Only disappointment...take out only.

Two of friends ordered from BJ'S. Both of my friends ordered Southern Fried Catfish, garlic mashed potatoes and green beans. I ordered smothered chicken, garlic smashed potatoes and cabbage. We received no napkins, no cutlery. My friends said the Southern Catfish was good. My chicken had no gravy and no gravy on non of the the garlic mashed potatoes. I like vinegar, however, that's all the cabbage tasted like. I'm very disappointed. How can you not provide spoon, forks, knives and no napkins. Only in the black area.

I really enjoy supporting community restaurants, especially black owned businesses, and this place is one of my favorites. However, I have to be honest.... today, the food wasn't so good. To be clear, Im not what you would consider a regular....however I am a faithful frequent customer. I ordered the short ribs with mac and cheese , dressing with a side of gravy and cranberry sauce... then added a side of yams. This is always my 1st option when I'm undecided on what to order.....its also a favorite because the short ribs of beef are usually very, very, very good. The mac n chees was chewy as if the pasta was undercooked ... the yams were over cooked and the flavor was off. The dressing was not good at all... texture taste flavor... all off. The ribs were not falling off the bone , not tender honesty....they were a little tough, and the taste was disappointing..... I was honestly really put off ... This is not a negative review it's an unfortunate circumstance, in my opinion. This experience is very rare for BJ's market. it is not common for this restaurant. That's why I give it three stars... they have set high expectations for themselves...in my opinion rarely ever disappointing. I'm looking forward to the turnaround. I couldn't throw the food away. It's still in my fridge.πŸ€”πŸ˜’πŸ™„πŸ˜³ I purchased it on Wednesday. Today is Friday.

It seems restaurants these days have an issue with being consistent with their food. They used to have a mustard fried catfish w/ 1 side lunch special. Now youre just forced to pay $20 for a meal and 3 underappetizing sides. MOST unfortunate. Things have steadily declined since the closure of the main location and the move over here from the stony island location (and the racine location if we are being totally honest).... BUT thats usually how black owned businesses treat black folks in a black neighborhoods.

I ordered sides for Easter dinner. My fam totally enjoyed the meal. Everything was seasoned to perfection....mac and cheese, dressing, and yams! I did cook the ham.

Wish I could give 0 stars. Ordered mustard fried catfish with greens, mac and dressing with gravy. My fault I didn't open order before I left...but catfish was awful couldn't even eat the crust on the outside,the fish was fried folded so it was like a big clump of fish ( looked liked a chicken breast), mac was boxed mac with cheese melted on top, greens were canned greens, dressing was definitely from a box and the gravy was watery and the corn muffin was not done. I ended up throwing the entire meal in the garbage. It was Easter so not alot was open! I won't be back! This is not authentic soul food! BJ Markets should be ashamed of themselves!

I would have gave the food 5 stars but the dressing was huff. Loved everything else

Karma Wilson

Very disappointed. Quality of food was terrible. Broccoli was hard/tough, Mac and cheese was gross and flavorless like instant Mac and the fish was awful, mushy inside and fried batter was falling off upon me picking up/cutting into the fish. Won’t visit again anytime soon.

The corn bread dressing is not consistent. Sometimes it is excellent sometimes it has no flavor and sometimes it’s overwhelming with sage ????? Don’t know what the problem is but they need to figure it out.
