When down in the dumps after my mother's passing, I went in close to closing time. I had been painting rooms in basement all day. Young lady working there took my jumbo shrimp order. Saw that I wasn't in best mood. Told me that since it was close to close that I could have all the shrimp (it was like 30 pieces) and to take my time in the dining room. I ate the whole plate. I told the crew that my mother would scold them for overfeeding me. They laughed. I called the management next day to thank them. I go there a lot. Hope they survive.

woah, how the fuck did we miss

The first time I saw a Long John Silver’s restaurant in 1976, was from the outside, and it looked like a family seafood restaurant with wait service, like Red Lobster. So I asked my new girlfriend out on a seafood dinner date. We got dressed as one would for a dinner date. When we walked in and I saw that it was a fast food restaurant, I was mortified, and I was sure she thought what a cheap skate to bring her to a fast food restaurant on a first date. But we stayed and had dinner. She eventually married me. I took her out on better dates. But you can’t mention Long John Silver’s without the story coming up about our first date at a fast food restaurant . I’m sorry to see them decline. That restaurant closed years ago and the closest one to us is 20 miles away.

I love LJS, their grilled fish is excellent and has less calories than the breaded fish, which is excellent too. Then there is the shrimp, Bubba Gump doesn't have anything on LJS shrimp. Good fries and I do not understand people who say their food is greasy, you want greasy go to KFC. It doesn't seem so greasy anymore. I usually get grilled cod and 8 shrimp. Yes it's expensive for fast food, but have you been to Five Guys, Whataburger and In and Out Burger? Long John's doesn't seem so expensive when Five Guys is $10+ for their smallest burger and fries. Sure they give you a ton of fries, but it's still expensive.
Luckily we have one in our small city and it is pretty close by.
