Jocko’s Chicken & Seafood

Would never expect this place to be fine dining, but the two items I’ve tried (fried chicken and chicken livers) have been above average. The chicken livers are the best I’ve tried in the area

I absolutely love fried chicken. Jocko’s is pretty much as good as it can get. It ranks favorably with Wagners in Oldenburg

Greasy low grade food. KFC or FR much better. Too scared to go back. Didn’t eat that much. Place just seemed unclean

I’ve BN there four times now since I’ve moved to Hamilton in march. The$ 5 &$ 6 specials are great. Good portions for the price

Former Lee’s Famous Recipe Chicken chain. Two locations, Main Street in Hamilton and Pleasant Ave at Symmes in Fairfield. Seafood is all frozen, not bad, not great. Chicken is decent, as you would expect. If you have been to a Lee’s Famous then you know what to expect. Look for coupons!

Hey, why is it these «world famous» places aren’t known anywhere else in the world? All the time I was near the ocean, I never heard of Jocko’s Chicken and Seafood. I only knew about them when I was driving down U.S. 127 to Cincinnati or across S.R. 129/​High Street through Hamilton.
$ 7.99 for 5 pieces of good-​sized shrimp, 2 pieces of fish, and 2 side items isn’t bad. That said, I kind of choked when she said $ 10 something after I’d added a drink. This is a fast food place, after all.
Then, while I was standing there, someone came into the store complaining that he didn’t get his fish sandwich, and the gentleman who responded to him said that they threw out the fish because it wasn’t very fresh. That made me feel both good and nervous. What else wasn’t fresh and needed to be tossed? (Hopefully not my cookies!)
Also, as I was waiting, the woman from the cash register was mentioning orders, as they apparently don’t have a numbering system to make it easier to announce when food is ready.
As my food arrived, I went out to a clean table. In fact, all of them seemed to be clean. The shrimp were a good size, but had zero taste, as far as I could tell. The breading didn’t really add any taste either. The fish was good, and a couple of times, I wondered if it was some sort of funky chicken – no, it didn’t dance, but usually, places just serve generic white fish because people don’t like fish.
The Macaroni and Cheese was good, as were the mashed potatoes and gravy. The hush puppies were dry enough to be used instead of paper towels. Maybe, they could put some in the rest room, if they run low on paper towels.
It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t great. I got a good portion of food. I just wished it was bursting with flavour.
Oh, and as a few people had left the restaurant, another woman came into the dining room and wiped all of the tables. Someone cares!
