how can a fast food joint like ljs think that precooked fish left sitting be anything but terrible. since they joined two fast food joints together now two of the worst placed in one location. never will i eat at ljs again.

You are retarded. While I do agree with you on Long John Silver's seafood not being good. Red lobster is not fresh. Its frozen you tard. Helpful hint: Come to the Gulf coast and try FRESH seafood. Please do not compare any fresh seafood to that of Red Lobster. You have got to be the biggest tard ever. Are you sure the son-in-law you bash isnt your son. You seem a little worse off than him. RED LOBSTER fresh hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Try real fresh off the boat seafood before you write your next rant you RETARD. TY 4 ur time... Good day. TARD

LJS Quality (Reply to this comment)
by acidchild
LJS has what we call "Standards of Quality". Customers don't realize it but the freshness of it's food is actually of quality products and value. The shortning used by the store I work at is of very high quality and we have a very repetitive filtering system which involves pre filtering and filtering of vats twice daily. Our vats are clean, free of carbon, and are in proper working order. Only the managers cook at my store. And there are almost never complaints about anything wrong with the products we sell. Out pies are date dotted, so are the breads, cole slaw, and other items on prep are completed on a shift to shift basis and are under deligation of certified management. We have CHAMPS programs set up to monitor drive thru times and wait times to invoke the deliverance of outstanding service above and beyond. We've lead the district for a long time in speed, sales, and in CHAMPS customer call in reviews. I do not know what type management runs the stores some of you eat in but if you ever walk in mine rest assure your food is both taken with accuracy, prepared freshly, and served hot with a smile.

You deserve worse (Reply to this comment)
by videomaker2000
I think by starting your review by calling your son in law names, shows what a real misfit you are. I've had bad individual experiences, just like I've had bad experiences in fine restaurants. However, the batter in Long John Silvers Seafood is the best! I wish I could duplicate it. None of the online recipes even come close. Sure....if they don't fry it in hot enough oil it will be greasy, but I've only had this happen about 3 out of maybe 200 visits.

Personally, with the way you "talk", I think you just like you complain you old fart....

So Sorry, But So Funny! (Reply to this comment)
by hazellight
Stockholder,

I am so sorry you had such a disgusting experience with Long John Silver's. If it were me, the second I saw that shrimp (eewwww!!) I would have walked out - without paying! That is just one of the NASTIEST experiences you can have in a restaurant. Your son-in-law deserves a swat on the head!

But thanks for passing the word on. Your pain notwithstanding, the review really was hilarious, and I will never set foot in a Long John Silver's. I hate seafood anyway!

By the way: "I wish God would make another animal that I could eat". I totally understand where you're coming from. :-) Be healthy!

the back room (Reply to this comment)
by kushnir
Everyone should consider spending at least one day in the kitchen of a restaurant. 1, you will consider being a vegetarian, 2, you will understand what really happens in the back room, 3, it will absolutely shatter any ideas of hygiene, food freshness, and food handling you ever imagined. With most franchise rests they cannot afford decent help, with any kind of common sense anyway, so you put your life into some $5.25 hr kid......no thanks.. The review was great, and you probably saved a few lives.

by fountain-head
my mouse to tap-out a response ... from my convulsed position on the floor!! Thanks for raising my ceratonin level for the day.

That ... was a most-hilarious bit of writing !!

I especially enjoy the way in which you embed your disdain for said son-in-law in a matter-of-fact, almost involuntarily-reflexive manner into your prose ...

Greasy fish & bowel movements ... what a biting metaphor for your relationship. Ouch !

Come to think of it ... my mother-in-law inspires the same GI-tract response in me. Perhaps I shall edify HER in my next review. Thanks for the inspiration.

PS

Our little burg used to have an H.Salt.Esquire fish&chips restraunt. Long since out-of-business, I'm afraid. But ! It was really outstanding F&C ! Simple menu: You could order "Haddock" or "Cod" fish and chips ... that's it (please don't ask me to differentiate between the species). Yes, it was a deep-fried-artery-clogging-balloon-angioplasty nightmare. But it was Goooooood ! And ... as an extra bonus, the owners were FOB from the UK. Cute little accents.

Thanks for confirming my belief that scatological humor can still appeal to someone over middle-school age!

Not Eaten There In Awhile. . . (Reply to this comment)
by AinsleyJo
. . .however, I've never had any problem with the place.

But I do have a story that might go along with your own.

Went there to eat with a friend one time, and we went back to my place afterwards.

He asked me if he could use my bathroom, because "Long John Silver's is starting to work on me!"

Only seconds after he got in there, I heard the old thundermug thundering.

First, it was a deep-pitched, "BOOOOOOP!."

Then, it was a sort of "boop-a-spzzzzzzzz-boop-boop-boop-spzzzzzzzzzzzzzz-boop!"

Then, I heard him remark to himself, "Ghastly! Simply ghastly!"

Cheers!

I used to (Reply to this comment)
by oldcomixfan
yank muscles off of chicken breasts in a poultry-slaughtering plant.Those things ended up at LJS under the disguise of "planks".
I was once ordered to disassemble some greenish chicken flesh.I protested ,but I was just an 18 year old punk who was out of line.The USDA lady saw it and went ballistic on the prick super.He should of been forced to eat it all.

I had considered eating stray pets,as an alternative,until I learned the unholy secrets of pet food ingredients.The old "you are what you eat eats"conundrum.Fish at LJS can be used as thermometers.I would rather eat algae grown in my porcelain throne.Or dirt.

Hi,

You bet I'm gonna stay away from this chain. Funny thing is that my husband just expressed a desire to go here. I'm gonna email him a link to your review.

Thanks for the laugh! Good thing we're not having seafood tonight.

You're so right... (Reply to this comment)
by randfan
Chuck, if it's any consolation, the Kansas City Long John Saliva's (as we call them) are equally bad. My kids won't even eat there. It's the only restaurant I know where you need to wring out your food before you eat it.
For healthy and interesting chicken and fish recipes, try Epicurious.com. We eat a lot of fish at my house, and I hate fish, but it's not too bad if you make it in interesting ways, and Epicurious.com has some good recipes.
Thanks for the great review! I'm just sorry you had to eat there to write it! ~ Meg

Yes, I think about it all the time.

I don't think he is actually trying to kill me but he is defiantly selfish enough to only care about himself. He is the type of person that would drive me to the grave with his reckless living and not lose a nights sleep over it.

Chuck, you ever thought that maybe your loser son-in-law with the big fat blubber-butt may be trying to KILL you???

Geez, how does your lovely daughter put up with him?

Keep an eye on that feller if he ever cooks anything for you.

Long John Silver is yucky poo- pooh (Reply to this comment)
by misc_el
It's sad that you had to learn about LJS the hard way, or should I say...oh nevermind, skip that terrible joke.

Seriously, I have been to LJS a couple times (although not in years, over 10 at least) and it is gross!

I was er, um, "sick" both times.

Bluck!

Enjoy your day,
XOXO

I moved to Chicago 17-months ago . My son has lived there for 7 years. He found me a cheap apartment. I lived in Jersey up to that. I still consider my home NJ. But my son mentioned I should start getting more comfortable in Chicago.

Thanks for reading and noticing,

Outside of that, how'd you like LJS's??? LOL

You didn't leave your sense of humor in the hospital, did you?

Question: What's with Chicago? I could have sworn you were a Jerseyite! Have I confused you with someone else? No way! There's no one else like you.

Have a great year, friend.
Keep the reviews coming - we need fun around here.

...to the Followers of Stockholder, and so perhaps I am being impertinent by giving some advice.

Loosen up, Sir. It does no good for anyone to hold things back. Someone who has consumed so much cholesterol in one sitting and topped it off with shrimp poop should know that it is no good to have stuff back up. Give us the entire truth. Let it out, man.

Thanks for the warning...and the giggle.
