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.

A&W has really good burgers and hands down the best root beer. Used to live by one, and it was always packed at dinner time on the weekends.
A&W are everywhere up here in Canada. And the have an impossible meat option, so we end up there reasonably often.
A&W is the best of the top few major brand root beers, but there are some in most grocery stores that are much better. Virgil's and Henry Weinhart's probably the best of the easily found ones.
Hushpuppy underground!
look, sometimes I just need a box of 100 pups.
I have no idea if they still do this, but you could order a whole box of "crunchies," the little fried bits of batter that flake off.
we called them crumblies and its the only reason id consider going to ljs
Count me in. Dad loved 'em when I was growing up and I occasionally go get some.
My parents used to take me there as a kid for the all you can eat peel and eat shrimp. Holy fuck the amount of shrimp I could eat, baskets everywhere… I still love shrimp and prawns, more than crab even (I apologize to all my Maryland family).
Genuinely wonder if it is a money laundering front at this point.

We als have Captain D's which is just like LJS
One of our captain ds is now a 'make your own' burger joint that ALSO, strangely enough, never seems to be busy but stays in business. There must be some sort of curse lingering in the very asbestos of the ceilings.
The only other one is the last of its kind in at least a 50 mile radius.
Cap D's offers baked, and blackened versions of their food. LJS is just about all totally fried. Cap D's is much better, but that isn't hard.
Funny, I live in California where there's are some LJS's, but I've never been to one. There are no Captain D's here, but I've eaten in one a few times because I used to travel to Alabama for work. It was honestly fine. It was basically just what I expected from the phrase "fast food fish and chips."
My great aunt gets their fish catered for her family Christmas party every year

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.

I don't think I've ever even seen one. Are we sure they're real?
My partner randomly had a craving for it, and for the life of me I cannot understand why. We had to drive way the heck out of our way to go get some, and it was the most hilarious experience to observe from the car. Two new friends, four fish fillets, and apparently some very odd looks as the offered drugs were rebuffed, my partner comes back in and off we go, leaving the strange place tucked in the corner of two apartment complexes behind.
That stuff will make you shit worse than taco bell
Fuck yeah! Time to join the Illuminati for a lunch date or whatever.
