Ugh, the time I went to Long John Silvers it was because somebody in my group was bitching they wanted it. So we found the closest one and boy were we in for a treat.

The store exists in a white hillbilly ghetto known derisively as the Knob. Lots of heroin, rebel flags and burned out homes. The LJS in the knob is staffed by misanthropic human filth and no one dines in because said staff are too unmotivated to clean the actual filth. I do not know why it has not been shut down.

It was like motherfucking John Waters Presents: Long John Silvers.
