I hate knowing that LJS still exists, but doesn't have a restaurant around me anymore.
The secret cabal is just the elderly. That's all I ever saw there when I was able to go there lol

look, sometimes I just need a box of 100 pups.
I'm not ashamed to be part of the Long John Underground.
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.

Beer battered chicken is phenomenal, and nobody else does it. I hate fish, but I love LJS!
Count me in. Dad loved 'em when I was growing up and I occasionally go get some.
Hushpuppy underground!
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.

LOL this actually seems like a plausible scenario - it could be a regular meeting place for reptilian aliens, and who would notice?

What is a Long John Silver?
A fast food restaurant that mostly does fried fish. It's named after the pirate in the famous novel Treasure Island.
That sound nice. It doesn't seems weird to me it has a consumer base.

Genuinely wonder if it is a money laundering front at this point.
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).
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.

My great aunt gets their fish catered for her family Christmas party every year
What does the fish eat?
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.
Fuck yeah! Time to join the Illuminati for a lunch date or whatever.
I don't think I've ever even seen one. Are we sure they're real?
