I like them. Wish there was a location near me. Closest one is 30 miles away.

>>17292600
There was a KFC/Long John combo near me but it closed last year

>>17292600
>Who the fuck still even goes here anymore?
Midwesterners.
>How the fuck are they still in business?
Midwesterners.

It's the closest they'll ever get to tasting actual fish and seafood, now ring that bell faggot

>>17292618
Red Lobster would like to have a word with you, son

Their buildings are so stupid looking. I can't even explain it, they just look absolutely retarded to me

>>17292600
I like their chicken planks. It must be a nostalgia thing, but I really love the flavor and dipping it in their malt vinegar. I also like how they would give you a bunch of crispy pieces of batter. I've maybe had it once in the last few years though.

>>17292677
is it the colors? the shape? help me out here anon

I like em a lot but local one closed or became a dedicated KFC. you'd think a coastal town would have more fish and chips places but nope, we're fried chicken land now

My dad took me to one when we were on a road trip to visit family in the south all excited and it turned out to be so shit. He swore it used to be better but this was the same guy who prefers making mash from dehydrated potato powder

>>17292712
That's probably because you live on the gulf or in the south.

>>17292600
They're busy as fuck during lent. I imagine they can limp along for the rest of the year just for a profitable month.

>>17292618
Midwesterners have a FUCKton of lakes, great lakes, rivers and streams. Fishing is pretty much all they do.

>>17292727
There is no such thing as fish and chips in any place but the northern hemispheres and their respective oceans. Just like you wouldn't call fried catfish or fried talipia fish and chips, you wouldn't call penis penis penis penis

>>17292731
what

>>17292731
Based schizo

>>17292600
mine is paired up with popeyes chicken and is in a very black neighboorhood. I can get fried shrimp with my red beans and rice and watch the kinfolk beat each other over their noggins for drugs. its like loonytoon land going to rosecrans and vermont

The Long John Silver's near me turned into a Gamestop

>>17292741
chicken butt

>>17292753
did the smell ever go away

>>17292705
I think it's mostly the ridiculous looking font and the colors. It makes it look like a theme park attraction for preschoolers or something.

>>17292677
theres something so funny to me about calling architecture retarded nonspecifically

>>17292802
I also hate the stupid little pointy thing on the top of the building. Why does it have a little checkerboard design on it like it has a purpose? I fucking hate this building so much. The longer I look at it the more pissed off I get

I like their main fish and fry combo

>>17292600
even the soft drinks they serve are deep fried

>>17292600
I like Long John’s fish. The batter is unique. A bit too salty though

>>17292631
Who goes to red lobster for fish?

>>17292600

I saw an obese woman attack a waiter at one of their locations

>>17292600
they get just as busy during meal hours as anywhere else. they are just outside the reddit demographic it seems

>>17292712
>>17292722
They have real fish restaurants, they don't need fast food fish

I'd rather have Captain D's

>>17294097
Good. Fuck wagies

>>17292600
I go about twice a month and I strictly dine inside so I can have access to the self serve tartar sauce pump

>>17295952
Why is American ices haped so perfectly?

>>17295957
Because we are the best

>>17292600
I don't have one near me but I used to love the crap out of them years ago. The quality didn't make me flinch, greasy fried fish fillet dunked in tartar sauce and fried shrimp smothered in shrimp sauce, swallowed down with 300grams of fried bread.

Honestly it's not that different than pub food in London, lower quality and without the lager sure but well priced and hot.

>>17295952
how fat are you?

>>17295822
>Captain D's
Is this for real? Do they have an ad campaign where a girlfriend texts that she wants the D and the boyfriend shows up without a bag of fish and she dumps him? Because if that's a real chain, they ought to.

>>17296252
They exist but in my experience don't even compete well with LJS.
Explains why there are so few remaining.

>>17292600
In my experience it is mostly blacks. Even when I lived on a coast blacks loved them some shit seafood from fast food places.

>>17292600
LJS is a front for the mob

>>17292618
>Hahahaha I posted the Flyover meme again!

There is a Long Dong Silvers next to the Intel plant I work at west of Portland, the area is polluted with insects, poos, drug addicts, homosexuals, single mothers, and CNN cultists. Can't get much more diverse and inclusive than that.

>>17296038
Fat enough, anon. Fat enough

>>17292618
It’s the niggers getting other people called low class time again. Stay tuned for the obesity rates charts and SAT scores from the Deep South.

>>17292821
They used to attempt a nautical theme, and the checkerboard thingy was one of the nautical signaling flags.

>>17294097
Did the riot start when someone tossed a chair?

>>17294268
Not “authentic” enough for reddit. Reddit would ra her go somewhere with Cancun seasoning (such as Popeye’s) or for some place with a more English fish & chips pub vibe.

I made the mistake of going there once in college, and holy shit, I couldn't believe how much batter they used on everything. It made my stomach turn and I couldn't finish it. I doubt I'll ever go again

>>17292618
>>17292600
Live in Indiana and eat Long John's at least 3 times a month. I eat it for the batter not the fish - very greasy and crunchy. Also their hushpuppies are good

>>17296608
weak faggot stomach

Most Long John Silvers franchises are owned by gangs. They're money laundering and drug spots

>>17296354
This. Every black neighborhood is full of seafood and chicken restaurants. They live off fried chicken, fish and shrimp.

>>17296657
I always knew that place was a front for something

>>17296652
Nailed it

>>17292600
>be in the place in town around long john silvers like a month ago
>decide to get some tacos
>one person at the window in front of me
>place order
>guy says itll be about a 45 minute wait
>drive away

what in the fuck fellas?

I liked going to them for free shit on Talk Like a Pirate Day. They're alright.
