J&J's is a great place for sellers and shoppers just looking for a pleasant outing. Wish they could update their roadways and tables, but still a fun place to go.

We enjoy going to this place on the weekends we always have a great time. They have the best food at the food court and the vendors are always very nice. We always leave with something this time we got crocs from a very nice lady she has named brand shoes and very affordable prices and you get 4 charms for your shoes free!

Maybe we got there late. But only a few vendors were open, and the selection was unimpressive. Everything was spread way out. Lots and lots of walking without seeing much that was worth seeing. The entrance led to a terrible road; it was much better to go in the “exit”. A word to the wise - there were a lot of rusty nails in the gravel parking lot.

I try my best to go here every weekend. The people are friendly, the prices are awesome, and Taqueria El Bola has the best Mexican food you can find! (The stand alone building with a moose and "backwoods grill" painted on the side)My only dislike is that it seems a lot of vendors have resorted to buying other vendors cheap Chinese products and re-selling them at their own stands. It makes the whole uniqueness and essence of the flea market feel less genuine.

Always a awesome spot they got any and everything...idk bout the biggest in the state...alot of booths are out of business from that COVID BS. Early birds get the worm out here and beating the heat is the main thing...it ain't like it used to be but I still enjoy the deals and dealing..the public needs to dump money here it could be way better than what it used to be...the food spots are slow hardly the employees you need to work ...it's slow motion but it's on point and great...this is you community at its best...there are strange individuals out there best believe that but u Kno the deal

Place has gone downhill. Driveway is pothole central and the dirt pathways where you park are littered with nails. Got nails in my tire twice going there. The 2nd time I got 3 nails. I have said something to management many times and obviously to no avail because I just got the 3 nails in my tire this past weekend. Would not consider going back until the nail issue was addressed.

Very large building with tons of vendors in building. Everyone will find something here I promise. Parking lot is good size.

I have a family-owned business so to be out here to sell products to the community is a blessing. My children and I go almost every Saturday and Sunday. The staff are excellent

Some of the vendors obviously only serve their own nationality. Quite rude. But the rest of the folks were friendly and I found some great deals!!!

My wife & I are Flea Market "Fleas" - she even ran a fleamarket for a long time over in Thomson, Georgia (since closed) - so we know flea markets, having been in - and out - of the business for a long time.J&J Fleamarket is GREAT for the shoppers: the prices are low, especially on the outdoor tables. Indoor vendors always cost more - but they pay a higher rent, the advantage being that you can actually depend on an indoor vendor who stocks a particular "thing" or line of items to be there - and generally you can beat a Walmart price and go even lower if you are willing to engage in friendly negotiations. :)Wear some sturdy comfortable shoes - the paths are semi tarred, cracked concrete, buckled some, and with intruding roots. It is a well laid out flea market arranged in fairly orderly rows, and the vendors offer a little bit of everything, plus a lot of surprise finds, treasures in back corners, etc. We (my wife & I) like the tables due to the spontaneity of the vendors' wares - meaning you never know what you might find, nor what kind of deal you might be able to get - and usually it IS a good deal.I highly recommend setting aside a half day minimum for touring this market - a full one if you are into visiting every store and booth and are into paying attention to little things and talking with vendors. There are plenty of good produce lines, as well as hardware, tools, and house wares. It seemed decently kept up for a fleamarket - the trash cans not overflowing, and no obvious mounds of litter. Not bad for a vendor, though there is a LOT of competition, and good for the buyers, too.J&J features a huge, hilly outdoor area which is not very conducive to ADA / disabled travel; however, their indoor facilities are up to par, as are their covered sheds. They do have water - aka drainage - problems, and its best not to go in the rain - plus only the really die-hard vendors will be there.The Mexican indoor restaurant puts out some pretty fine authentic chow if you want a meal - better than most flea market fare. The vendors are suffering as they have for many years - the bottom fell out of flea marketers profiting back in the mid-90's, which is when my wife & I got out. It used to be you could have $300 days in the late 80's - but by the late 90's you'd be lucky to make rent. :/ A lot of the problem is the same problem HERE at the J&J market - there are TOO many vendors and they are all competing against each other, usually by cut-throat pricing which gets to the point where NO one is making a profit. This is not the market's fault; it is more of a "society" and perception of "fair value". Everyone expects to get things at the flea market cheap which has, especially in this day and age of Walmart stores, made things hard for the vendors, most of which are poor people struggling to make ends meat, if that, and only affording beans if they are lucky.You can also find the following services:New & used tires & mounting; headlight lens reconditioning, computer repair, virus removal outlets; cell phone accessories galore, chargers & headphone outlets; auto sound systems with & without install; custom ironwork (they've got "a guy"); artwork (both cheap & custom); jewelry outlets, cheap sunglasses, and very cheap books, 2nd hand clothing, and new good socks & essentials. You can get dry goods & pharma stuff cheap, just watch the expiry dates. It's a great place to let the children "roam" (Attended, of course!) - because they will be fascinated by all the great finds. You can use this experience to teach them about life, and money, and the need for a good education in some cases. ;) Plenty of good "junk" food to eat, plus treats, & usually some fresh donuts around, or other fattening goodies. :D

The restrooms are always nasty its run down the new owners are running the place into the ground vendors are leaving because the cost of selling is too high and unrealistic. It was a great place til greed started killing it .I miss the old J&J

So much to see. Everything from summer cleaning out their garage too and new. It was easy to do a big circle and end back where we started.

Billed as "Georgia's Biggest Flea Market" im not so sure i would agree. This market has about anything a person could be looking for (at times) if your looking for things people cleaned out their closet of unwanted clothing. Many weekend vendors and also many regular vendors. It has many tired run down 5 for a dollar tabels and nothing of real value. Only maybe 2% of the vendors bringing unique and culturally diverse products, so it's not like your going to find antiques...more like garage sale clothing. There's food, beverage but I would NOT eat the food. many many vendors but very low quality... Open air mostly.

I love to go to this flea market and this time there were lots of venders. But... the road in and out is terrible. Holes in the pavement looks like a car could fit in. Seems like they would take the time to do some scraping or paving. Something.. and if you go see Sheila under the covered area. Great prices and great gadgets.

You can find almost anything here. Great fun trip for anyone that like to look for deals. I recommend going there before 11 am to get the best selections.

Good variety of produce, decent stuff, most prices reasonable. Buildings need maintenance.

This was like a really bad yard sale. There was a lot of junk. It was supposed to go until 3, but people were packing up at noon. It is a large flea market, but if you get there around noon, it's hardly worth going.The fresh produce at the entrance was definitely the best thing about it. Prices are not marked, but several people worked there and were helpful.The other best booth had new items like electronics for reasonable prices.I would not recommend this place.

I absolutely love coming here! When I was younger my father would bring me, my mom, and my siblings. Everyone is so nice, even though it's so early in the morning when everyone is there. Rating 5 stars for the great service, great people, and absolutely great snacks! <3

This place is enormous and overwhelming. I really enjoyed having a little explore around it and bought farm eggs, honey, and tomatoes there. Would go back for these type of items. Most of the booths are your typical garage-sale type items. Great deals. It’s a flea market and it does what it does well. The only part that is a bit difficult is the condition of the lot and driving paths in and out- absolutely riddled with potholes. But if you travel the speed limit (2 3/4mph), you should be okay. Had a fun time there. Go early to enjoy the best selection and avoid hotter weather.

It's not like it used to be. There are a lot less vendors, and the vendors that are there sell their things for almost as much as buying it brand new. You can find the ones that actually see they are selling used items and have the priced fairly cheap, others are way over priced.

If your shopping on a budget this is a great place for New or Used items. They have any and everything you can think of.

The only reason for the 1 star is just how utterly filthy this place is. It's obvious that maintenance is rarely done. Trash bins are everywhere but they are loaded to the top or overflowing. It smells. And that is just due to the filth. It truly disgusting. Vendors should have pay to sell in such conditions nor should buyers be subjected this.
