Man, I fucking love LJS and wish I had one within driving distance.
Nothing like ordering a fish & chicken plank combo and not knowing which of the identical diamond-shaped planks is which before biting.
LJS’s chicken is way better than most other restaurants. I will die on this hill
It’s Catholics. LGS makes 1/3 their yearly sales during lent.
When I was a small child I loved Long John Silver’s but now that I’m an adult I tried it once and it was so fucking oily that I feel like if they weren’t in the United States they would be getting invaded by them.
I think they’re in the same bucket as Red Lobster and KFC. Used to be fantastic, spent a couple of decades trimming corners until all that was left was the grease.
I looked at their location finder to see how close one is to me. The closest one is a combined LJS and KFC, so yes, in the same category.
The smell of LJS actually gives me a headache. Nothing else does this to me the same way.
I just went on the LJS site to look for the nearest location and they have a rewards program called “Seacret Society”.
Hmmm
I had a cat that I found in a dumpster eating a taco during a hurricane. I only found her because she was yelling at the taco while she ate it. That cat, that I have seen eat every living and non living thing imaginable, refused to eat long john silvers fish
Hahahaha
I’m convinced LJS is Taco Bell for people who moved away from the coast. They know it’s not sea food, but they crave it’s badness for its own sake.
I’m from northern Connecticut and live in (southern, nowhere near any fished lakes) Germany. I tried seafood here a couple times when I first got here, but it’s just intolerably fishy for me, even in a taco bell sense.
Though I guess frying it does mask a lot of fishiness. And LJSs doesn’t try for the cachet of “never-frozen,” so it’s possible it’s actually fresher than what you get in a fancy inland restaurant…
I didn’t agree with you at first, but you might be on to something
I love long John silvers as a guilty pleasure.

look, sometimes I just need a box of 100 pups.
The one nearest to me is combined with an A&W, another ancient fast food business that somehow hangs on. I’ve only had LJS once and it was absolutely disgusting.
Could have fooled me. All the ones that were near me are closed. I just checked, the closest one is 1.5 hrs away
I’m not ashamed to be part of the Long John Underground.
That’s where you buy poplars!
Fishy Joe’s
Catholics
Beer battered chicken is phenomenal, and nobody else does it. I hate fish, but I love LJS!
Old people
