I just went on the LJS site to look for the nearest location and they have a rewards program called "Seacret Society".
Hmmm

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.
I went there 3 times 7 years apart each time. Never again. Terrible every time.
That’s where you buy poplars!
Fishy Joe's
There is one near where I work, but they are quite literally never open. They aren't out of business and their facilities are kept up, but it somehow just persists in that state.
Sounds like los pollos hermanos
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.
I still claim that it is a wide scale money laundering operation.
...i haven't eaten long john silvers in at least fourty years, but i always liked their crispies...
That stuff will make you shit worse than taco bell
As a non-American, I'm assuming it's a shitty restaurant?
Understatement to be fair. Its beyond lowest tier seafood
They’re just weird because so many fast food chains come & ~~ho the~~ go in the US, it’s hard to even keep track - but Long John Silvers; a shitty fish & chips place which is never busy, never seems to have any customers at all, somehow stays in business.

The available food is mostly things they can pop into the fryer: Think fish and chips, except you can also choose “planks” of chicken breast, or breaded shrimp, or little balls of seasoned dough called “hush puppies”.
My wife hates them, and they’re an occasional guilty pleasure for me.

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
Chicken planks, fries, hush puppies, and an obscene amount of tartar sauce to dip everything into. And the crunchy little batter bits? Absolute gold.
God I could go for some right now.
Never.
Skip.
The.
Clams.
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.

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.
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.

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.
