The one near me is closed Sunday and Monday, but it's still open.

Fishy Joe's

LJS's chicken is way better than most other restaurants. I will die on this hill

The elderly keep many disappointing restaurants afloat.

There’s a place by my house that has aggressively mediocre food. Every dish on the menu is merely edible, nothing to rave about. The sphaghetti tasted like Chef Boyardee, the steaks are under seasoned, the fish is overcooked, burgers are decent but always dry, gyro platter and sandwich are served with watery tzatziki that ruins the otherwise pre prepared meat, and the entire breakfast menu is always served just slightly warm. This place has like 150 menu items and does none of them well.

The only reason I go there is because I take my grandfather out for dinner twice a month. I ask him where he wants to go, and half the time he wants to go there. I have taken him to good restaurants but he doesn’t like the selection. He wants to be able to pick from 200 choices in one spot, even if none of these are particularly good.

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.

The smell of LJS actually gives me a headache. Nothing else does this to me the same way.

Hahahaha

Sounds like los pollos hermanos

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.

Here in the Midwest we even have some combined Long John Silver and Taco Bell restaurants. You can go through the drive-thru and order off of both menus. They've been slowly disappearing but for a while they were all over the place.

The bell is still there, but last year the manager filled it with cement.

Used to work at a restaurant similar to Long John silver and quite literally yes, 90% of people that attended were very elderly. Fish restaurants seem to exclusively cater to old people. I personally don't like any fish
