This is my go-to spot for fried seafood, especially now that City Fish and More is no more. This place is actually better than its now-defunct competitor, and I regret going for so long without giving Mad Jack a try. I usually get catfish strips, fries and hushpuppies, though the fried shrimp is also excellent. There's no dine-in seating at all here, and not much of a place to sit and wait for a take-out order. So either go online and order ahead or get it delivered if you're in range. In addition to serving cooked seafood, this is also a fish market. That's a plus if you need some raw fish but a minus if you don't care for the smell.

This is my “go to”’for fresh oysters in KC. The staff always checks for bad oysters before they bag them up. On occasion they have thrown in an extra 1-2 which is always appreciated. I don’t know where they get their oysters but I get more pea crabs when shucking these oysters than anywhere I’ve shopped from. If you don’t know, pea crabs are a delicacy and very rare only found in the cleanest of oysters. Meal type Other Price per person $10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4 Recommended dishes Seafood

Got the basa lunch special and it was delicious. Hush puppies are the best in the metro and okra was fresh. Staff at the deli counter was positive and friendly but the staff at the register acted like she could care less. When asked if it was a fillet or how it was portioned, she just said "it's a half pound fried" which wasn't the question. Had I known it was nuggets not fillet I would have ordered twice as much. Not entirely sure what the bread was for but it was good anyway 😅 wish there were a few more spots to sit because it got busy and between me on crutches and the elderly woman getting carry out and a few others, it wasn't much of a place for us all. Tile flooring looked like it was cleaned as best as it could be but needs updated. Service Take out Meal type Lunch Price per person $10–20 Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4 Recommended dishes Fish

They have manipulated the scale and giving customers less and less cooked fried fish. I've been going here since I was little and within the last couple years, I've had to ask them to weigh my fish. It was always less than the pound. what I got today. wasn't worth $20 that I paid. Service Take out Meal type Dinner Price per person $20–30 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1

This used to be the highlight of my almost weekly visit. But now after the last two weekend visits I will not be returning. The fish is over cooked and dry. Side dishes are tiny and have no soul or flavor. Service? The men behind the fish counter are friendly. But the women behind the counter and packaging the food are unfriendly and rude with fake smiles. if you don't choose to give a tip when paying their attitudes get almost mean. I'm trying to figure out why should I give you a tip for doing the same as someone working at McDonald's or Burger King? At least they tell you "Thank You for Coming"! I feel I wasted my money and time. I will never return. it's sad because I would drive an hour to 40 minutes to get my fish from Mad Jack's. I won't even buy their raw fish. I'm just done.

Ordered 2 poor boys. Came with 2 pieces of sandwich bread in baggie. Piece of lettuce,tomato and onion with sliced cheese in baggie. Soggy fries. Only thing good was large order of okra.

The fish was good. The service was average. I thought is was expensive 1 lb catfish filets ( 3 pieces) and an order of Okra was $22. I was visiting from out of town, I don't know if I would go back.

We got the 1/2lb catfish meals which come with 2 sides. Everything was piping hot and fresh when it came out. The breading on the catfish is light, crunchy, and seasoned to perfection. Not too salty, and not heavy on the fish at all. Not a fan of the Mac and cheese. Tasted like box mac to me and was very plain. Everything else was delicious 😊

Fries were missing from my order, had to go back to get them. The frog legs were good. The catfish and fries seem like they were flash fried (hard on outside, undercooked inside). Will probably not return Service Take out Meal type Dinner Price per person $20–30
