Found this place on a whim by looking at Google maps. Ever since a trip to the Midwest to a small fish shack, I’ve been looking for something similar and this place fit the bill from head to toe. Grabbed the small serving of catfish fillet with strawberry cake, boyfriend got the small serving of tilapia with peach cobbler. Both came with generous portions (6-7 pieces of fish on a heaping basket of fries with two slices of bread chilling atop it all) and only took about ten minutes to make. Chatting with the proprietor, he guaranteed I would be back, and honestly? He knows his stuff. I intend to bring my friends here soon to try it out. This is as close to southern fried fish as you’ll get. Crispy, perfectly cooked fish, no fishy flavor, just delicious flakey tender meat with a cornmeal crisp, and no overly greasy feeling on anything. Once I got home I grabbed some pickles, sliced up some fresh onion, and dug in. This place is incredible, and the prices are incredibly reasonable. All in all, it was $30 and I tossed in a $5 tip. Place is To go only, cash only, as many great hole in the wall institutions in the city would be. I will be back for more, and am only disappointed that I’ve lived in the city for ten years and just found this place, and it’s not even a 10 minute drive from me. Try this place if you get a chance. Oh, and if the door is locked, just knock, they let me in at 5:30 on a Friday night and locked the doors, but are open for those hungry enough to ask.

Hole in the wall spot, in a place you wouldn’t expect to even see a restaurant. Glad it’s still here. My go-to spot for fried catfish. Always fresh. A little unevenly seasoned sometimes, but everything can’t be perfect all the time. Some pieces are just a little more salty than others. I can live with that.
The OGs in the back know what they’re doing, and orders don’t take long to come out. Everything is cooked to order, so keep that in mind.
Haven’t tried the desserts yet, but will in the future.

I’ve been going to 2 Jacks since I was a child! My favorites are the snapburger with peppers, snapper sandwich, snapper order, chicken wings and the cheeseburger. The workers have always been really cool with me. Never have I had a problem with them or my orders. I’ve turned my kid’s on to them. My go to spot and when they’re closed, I’m kind of upset.

I ordered the snapper burger with a side of fries. It was delicious. My coworker was eating 1 and it looked really good. So after work I drove down to get 1 myself. The fish is well seasoned, the bread was soft, fries were still hot once I got home. I have eaten here several more times with no disappointment. The owner guy has a great attitude and very friendly each time I have gone in. They don’t take credit so had to get cash. Don’t bother calling ahead the guy is way too busy to pickup the phone. I will continue to eat here in the near future. The burger taste delicious . Stop on by and get you some home cooked food. NOT FAST FOOD, COOKED FOOD!!!!! Stop by and feed your soul with good food.

I heard really good things about this place but it wasn’t what I thought.

Good food here with nice portions. I prefer corn flour over corn meal. That’s why 4 stars. Location is in the hood and you will see the locals hanging out but don’t let that deter you. You will see door open thats it no address on wall. Good food in here and they have deserts and can sodas. Faint smell of bleach because they wipe down and mop regularly. Cool spot you want be disappointed. Take out only

Best fish and chips in San Francisco. Been open since 1972. In a restaurant inclined city, that longevity speaks volumes. Many varieties of fish and big chicken wings. Fried to perfection!! Worth the trip to the Southern end of the city. Call ahead so you can walk right in pick up your order and keep moving. Everything is cooked to order.
