I called ahead to ask if we were able to sit down and eat at 530 since they close at 6 on Sunday. I was told by whomever answered the phone that I was NOT able to sit and eat BUT I could instead get my food to go! They are open until 6pm, I would assume you could go in, sit down, order, eat and leave. NOT THE CASE! So if you are hungry and DARE to go here I STRONGLY suggest you go at least 1 to 2 hours before closing so you can enjoy the meal there. I along with my wife will never know or get to experience the atmosphere here at K&J!

My recent visit to K & J Seafood was nothing short of extraordinary, from the food to the customer service and even the drinks; every aspect of this dining experience left me and my best friend utterly amazed.A TikTok Treasure Unearthed:Our journey to this culinary haven began with a TikTok discovery, and the excitement was palpable as we drove seven hours to reach our vacation destination. K & J Seafood was our chosen lunch spot, and boy, were we in for a treat!Culinary Bliss:I had the privilege of savoring the wings and the seafood loaded fries, and I must say, I was nearly moved to tears by how incredible they tasted. The culinary craftsmanship on display here is truly remarkable. Nothing was over-seasoned, and nothing was under-seasoned; every dish danced with a symphony of flavors that tantalized the taste buds.The wings were cooked to perfection, with crispy skin giving way to succulent, tender meat. Each bite was a burst of flavor that left me craving more. The seafood loaded fries were a revelation, a glorious combination of crispy fries generously adorned with a bountiful seafood medley. It was a carnival of tastes and textures that I won't soon forget.Exceptional Customer Service:The staff at K & J Seafood deserve a standing ovation for their warm and attentive service. From the moment we walked in, we were treated like cherished guests. They were not only knowledgeable about the menu but also genuinely passionate about the food they served. It was evident that they took pride in creating memorable experiences for their patrons.Sip and Savor:To complete the feast, we indulged in their drinks, which were nothing short of amazing. Whether you're in the mood for a refreshing beverage or a cocktail with a twist, K & J Seafood has you covered. The drinks complemented our meal beautifully and added an extra layer of enjoyment to the overall dining experience.A New Favorite Destination:If you ever find yourself in this city or the surrounding area, I wholeheartedly implore you to pay K & J Seafood a visit. This establishment has won a special place in my heart, and I eagerly anticipate my next visit. In fact, the thought of relocating to the area has crossed my mind because of this culinary gem. K & J Seafood is more than a restaurant; it's a destination where food becomes an unforgettable journey for the senses.

Really loved the food we purchased. My favorite by far was the shrimp poboy sandwich. It was so good and the sauce was poppin. A must try! We also had the fried lobster tail and the ramen noodle, shrimp sausage boill and Madi Gras Lemonade. Will definitely be going back to try more items. We drove an hour to this place and we were not disappointed.

The food is really really good! The seafood fries are really good. Definitely wouldn’t recommend getting the chicken wings though. Literally paid 17 for 2 sides and 10 baby wings. I wish I took a picture but the wings were literally so small. It looks like they got the wings for cornished hens type of small. But other than the size they tasted great and the sides were great too!

The Low Country Boil w/garlic butter sauce and eggs is absolutely delicious, its exactly how you'd imagine and expect a seafood boil is supposed to taste. I've had seafood boils from other places in Cincinnati, but this is by far how I've always imagined and expected one to taste.Parking: Parking lot with plenty parking spots.

Food is delicious… Customer service is terrible!! Needed help figuring out prices over the phone lady was extremely rude no help at all.. Eventually she hung up in my face without no proper guidance.. I won’t be coming here anymore until I hear they hired new employees with better customer service.!!

I called this restaurant after reading and hearing good reviews. I inquired about the menu, asking about the shrimp tacos. and a entree named Lol. I first thought it was a joke or someone was sabotaging the website. So I repeated the question…I was put on hold, when she returned she stated nothing on the menu with the name Lol and the manager was not there, and the phone hung up. Since we try to support small businesses and Hubby wanted Catfish he was already on his way to K&J Seafood from our home about 26 minutes away….By the tone of the young lady’s voice before the phone hung up….I decided to let it go for now.

Those seafood fries had me in the best chock hold ever. The lemonade was very refreshing and beautifully sweet. The whole meal was amazing and worth every penny. I order the same thing each time, and each time it has been amazing.

Absolutely delicious! Very happy to support a thriving Black-owned business. There was quite a wait for our order but the cook was kind enough to keep us updated and apologized twice for the wait. Will definitely be back.
Best soul food sides in the city. Taste like I cooked it myself!! ???

Ms. Iesha is a true gift!! Her welcoming smile, courteous and professional demeanor, and the light in her eyes as she described the various, sumptuous menu items made the visit well worth it! The Creole flair and generous portions at reasonable prices ensures we WILL be returning here again soon!! Joy is also a sweetheart. Her speed and efficiency in preparing our order was phenomenal. This hidden gem in Avondale is bringing a much needed alternative to typical seafood boil. The Bearcat boil for the non-seafood connesoir is a definite Hit!!Would give 10 stars if possible!!Wheelchair accessibility: Level entrance is easily accessible. The door was not too heavy or unwieldy to utilize independent of assistance. Parking is around back and the drive a little uneven but there's also parking on the side of the building.

I was initially disappointed with the customer service. They had what appeared to be an absent-minded teenager at the register. I had a rather large order that included drinks. When I asked if they had cup holders, they seemed baffled and halfway wrapped my cups in a plastic bag. I left a little annoyed, to say the least.Nonetheless, the food was so delicious that I almost forgot about the other stuff.

lordered a pound of the snow crab legs (only crab legs, nothing else) and had them delivered to me.When the delivery guy handed them to me I thought the bag felt light! I went directly in and got my food scale and put the bag on the scales before even opening it and it only weighed 9 ounces! I opened the bag up and pulled the food out and it looked good so I decided to just go ahead and eat since I didn't have time to wait for another delivery. The snow crab legs were absolutely delicious but I am extremely disappointed in paying $56 and not getting but half of what I ordered. But I have to say the crab legs were absolutely fantastic! They were cooked perfectly and the meat slid right out of the shell without any problems. I will definitely eat at this place again but only dine in that way I can ask them if it doesn't look like the correct amount!

I bought some gumbo on Saturday for Sunday’s dinner. When I looked at it it did not look like any gumbo I had seen. It was dark in color. It looked like black beans and rice to me. No shrimp or chicken in it. I brought it back to the restaurant. I was told it is gumbo not seafood gumbo. The seafood gumbo has rice with shrimp and chicken. My rice had absorbed all the juice. The woman who was very nice said the Next time I should ask for the rice and “gumbo” to be in separate containers if I sm not eating it the same day.I feel like the difference in the two gumbo’s should be explained since there is a difference in price.It would have been a very nice showing of courtesy to ask me if I wanted to try the seafood gumbo.That would have made me return as a customer. She apologized I had come all this way to bring it back as no one answers the phone at the restaurant as a GOOD FAITH gesture.Probably will not be back.
