Tjs Catfish & Wings & BBQ

Best BBQ I've had in the area hands down! Service was fast and friendly. Food came out hot. Can't tell you how great this was! Will definitely be back and telling everyone one to try it!

Absolutely amazing! I was a chef for 10 years and this food is seasoned to perfection. I know the fry grease is fresh. Perfectly cooked catfish. Okra was awesome and I dont even like okra really. Presentation was very nice. The mozzarella sticks were beautifully presented and cooked perfect! Another Gem here in the Arlington area!

The customer service is in need of a revamp, from the owner to whoever else has anything to do with the customer service aspect of this business.
Selling fish advertising it as catfish when is clearly swai is absurd. Won’t patronize this business

Been coming here since before the name change. Menu is expanded from just wings. We get turkeys even for the holidays from here! Travis goes the extra mile & truly cares. Even though we moved to Aledo, still come to Arlington just for them! Highly Recommend!!!

Let me tell you that I’m so appalled and in disbelief I just received the worst service from TJ’s Catfish/M’Jay’s House of Smoke in Arlington off Green Oaks by the owner himself!!! I went inside to order and no one was in line at the time so we stepped aside to read the menu and figure out what we wanted. There was a young lady at the counter taking orders and I asked a question about a menu item and was responded to very dry, ok she seemed very into what she was doing writing on papers at the counter…we allowed several people to go in front of us not holding up the line. We preceded to go up once she was ready to take our order and while I’m giving her my order she’s steady writing on the papers and asking me to repeat myself and I could barely hear her as she was focused on the papers. At this point I politely asked her could she focus on taking my order so neither one of us would have to keep repeating ourselves. The owner was behind her pulling orders from the window, turns around loudly and rudely states” do we have a problem”? I preceded to tell him no I only asked could she focus on my order to ensure it’s correct and we hear each other out…TJ the owner tells me they’re very busy and she was taking an online order and needed to finish it up so she needed to focus on the order so she wouldn’t forget anything as if I wasn’t placing an order too. TJ continued to go back and forth with me about how good the young lady was at her job which I never discredited her work at all and he knows customer service and saw nothing wrong with what she was doing….. TJ’s focus was mainly on how busy he was and never acknowledged her lack of communication/listening to the customer at hand. At the time I didn’t recognize he was the owner and asked for a refund and he was like yep I’ll refund you whatever!! Never once did he apologize to me or speak with the young lady about her actions and kept making shoulder gestures as if it’s like oh well. The type of person I am, if I truly was rude or wrong, I wrong my rights so I apologized to the young lady if she felt I was rude and she said no ma’am you’re good I understand where you were coming from but I guess TJ didn’t see it that way. To know this is a BOB and I try my hardest to support, this is exactly why I can’t and this wasn’t my first visit to his restaurant but definitely my last!! My order was a little over $50 but losing a dollar is losing-no mater the amount when it all could’ve been avoided with a simple accountability and better customer service!

PLEASE TAKE THIS AS CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM…. THE FOOD IS WAY TOO SALTY!!!!! It’s delicious, however it’s way too much salt. I will definitely be back but I suggest that you ask them to not put salt on anything.
Black owned ~Southern hospitality ~ great vibes ~ affordable 💕

Reply: I had the Catfish & Parmesan garlic fries ( best fries everrr 10/10 - Catfish 10/10 both were just way too salty)

I ordered 20 piece lemon pepper wings and 4 catfish filets fried hard....IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT. Fish seasoned to perfection and the crunch is amazing. This was my first visit and I will be returning to try something else.

We heard that the BBQ is the bomb. We got there later that night. They were out of BBQ. THAT SUCKS. Next time we have to get there early. They will sell out. So we had to settle for wings and fish. It was ok. Thr fries was a little salty. I got lemon peppered wings but they were too salty. Fish looked good but was bland. No seasoning. Overall food experience: 7.5/10. Customer service was good. Customer service:9/10 The pregnant young lady that served us was very nice and helpful. We will come back to try out bbq. 👍🏾

I had the ribs, potato salad and greens. Their potato salad has got to be some of the worst. It's got too much mayonnaise in it. The greens were pretty good. Next time I'll try their fish. Nothing amazing about the atmosphere. The service was okay. The price point for the ribs was average They were smoked and tender I had three ribs

Every time I come food is fresh, the cashier is always polite/personal and it’s clean. Definitely recommend just on consistency alone.

First time visiting. Customer Service was GREAT! The atmosphere was family friendly. The service was quick. I ordered the 2pc Fried Catfish. It was Fresh &
Hot. Seasoned just like I like my fish. The fish still had that crisp taste the next day from my leftovers 😋 I will be returning for the Wings, BBQ etc SOON!

TJ's Catfish, Wings, & BBQ
I have heard only good things about this place. It just took me a while to find it. Now that I know their name and location, they will be inserted into my dining rotation. How could anyone not love something on their extensive menu from fish, wings, BBQ, and and plenty in between? There is something for everyone.
On my first visit, I ordered Texas Twisters which is the same thing as Brisket Nachos, but made with fries. Essentially the same as Asada Fries. I followed up with a Fried Strawberry Cheesecake for dessert. I, of course, had to have my sweet tea. This time I opted for the raspberry tea.
Everything was superb and plentiful with enough leftovers for lunch today. They go down in my book as another gem in the wild. I will be a new frequent flyer.
