Long John Silver’s

When your hours of operation posted on your front door that you open at 11:00am, you should not need to tell customers that your cook just got here and all food is a minimum 25 minute wait when I arrived at 11:33 am (the time on my receipt). But I do appreciate the advance warning that you are not prepared for today’s business. Sure hope the food is made right. This is the longest I have ever waited for food in

We waited 10 minutes in the drive through and decided to go order inside after smelling the green sludge from the dumpster. We then had to wait at least 15 minutes for our food inside. The root beer was great though. I still have nightmares of the green sludge.

I’ve eaten at LJS over the years as they are my moms’ favorite fast food. I’ve never been a huge fan of anything except the crunchies. However it just sounded good, so here I am. The inside of this location is very cute! It looks new or at least newly remodeled. The floor and tables were clean and the condiment bar was well stocked. The food was the same extremely greasy fair that was to be expected. My biggest complaint was the staff. They were quite rude to everyone and looked absolutely miserable. I’m sure the homeless people standing on the corner would be all the more happy to have their jobs!

This is my guilty pleasure review. I don’t eat a lot of fast food, but if this place were located inside the loop – how hilarious would that be – then you may bust me on more than one occasion, at the drive-​thru, taking care of my fish and chips jones. I also like the lobster bites (though I am highly skeptical that the actual ingredients have anything to do with lobster – distant related cousin is more like it). The fries are mediocre, but if eaten fresh and piping hot with your piece of battered cod, it’s all good.
They are trying to appeal to a more health-​conscious clientele with their Freshside Grille menu: grilled tilapia, grilled Pacific salmon, shrimp scampi, and Whoa?! a vegetable medley. I doubt I will be trying any of these, since my instinct is they may resemble a re-​heated frozen dinner.
If I’m going to be bad, then I’m going all the way.
