That stuff will make you shit worse than taco bell
Hushpuppy underground!
Beer battered chicken is phenomenal, and nobody else does it. I hate fish, but I love LJS!
Last time I went years ago someone was shooting up in the bathroom.
Was a very long john silvers experience. Remember the food always beeing of a greasy quality similar to jack in the box.
Like it has no right to be as delicious as it is.
Can’t believe you met Long John Silver himself! 🤩
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
Here in the Midwest we even have some combined Long John Silver and Taco Bell restaurants. You can go through the drive-thru and order off of both menus. They’ve been slowly disappearing but for a while they were all over the place.
But taco bell is for when you want to see what new dorito thing they made in the past decade, or the bread taco hybrid (challappa) they have. LGS seems to have food that wasn’t invented for gamers by someone that hasn’t met a Mexican.
Basically yes, LGS is seafood for people who visit the coast once a year at best, who has never met a Marylander.
Could have fooled me. All the ones that were near me are closed. I just checked, the closest one is 1.5 hrs away
The one near me is closed Sunday and Monday, but it’s still open.
Old people
look, sometimes I just need a box of 100 pups.
The one in the photo looks delightfully old school. I bet they still have the bell you can ring by the exit door!
The bell is still there, but last year the manager filled it with cement.
If this was analogous to the rise and fall of the Roman Empire, what would be the equivalent historical point?
Elagabalus? Maybe that time the title of emperor went to the biggest bidder and the guy lasted for a day? We need a Rough Roman Meme for this.Not really, he just got sick of the sound.
A sign of decay in management. The Roman Empire suffered just such a phenomenon, only with other details.
I just went on the LJS site to look for the nearest location and they have a rewards program called “Seacret Society”.
Hmmm
I still claim that it is a wide scale money laundering operation.
It’s Catholics. LGS makes 1/3 their yearly sales during lent.
Why do you think Catholics don’t eat meat on Fridays? The Pope owns Long John Silvers!
They do own and operate restaurants, probably near the gift shop. I bet there are more hidden in their portfolio.
I went there 3 times 7 years apart each time. Never again. Terrible every time.
I’m not ashamed to be part of the Long John Underground.
We are the Chicken Plank Collective.
We meet every other Wednesday
If you are chosen by the ring of the bell, you get a 6 piece hush puppies for free.
