Just had Long John Silvers tonight. Let's just say, I was underwhelmed. I haven't had this in about a year and was in the mood for fish tonight (around 9:30). THis is one of those places where they have LJS and Taco Bell in the same store. So I ordered this new Alaskan Flounder they have.
From the minute I walked in there I had a bad feeling about it. It looked like they were just a bunch of kids all laughing and giggling in the kitchen. The cash register was unmanned. There was a kid out in the restaurant area talking and laughing out loud to a customer. He finally came up to the register after I was standing there for about a minute. After I placed my order this guy went back into the kitchen and was chatting and laughing with the guys who were boxing up the food. It looked like there were a copule of guys preparing the food and a few guys who were roaming around distracting the other workers. Anyway, it didn't look like there was any supervision here.
Don't get me wrong. There's nothing wrong with a little chit-chat with co-workers but, when they are acting like the kitchen is an amusement park it makes me nervous about how they're going to treat the food that they're cooking for me to eat. I should have went with my gut in this case.
When I got my order home (10 minutes later) and opened it I was unimpressed. The fish had been way overcooked. it was dark brown around the edges. So I went ahead and ate the hashbrowns and cole slaw. Then I decided to eat the fish anyway (was hungry). This "fish" if you can call it that was like crunchy rubber. I do not exaggerate when I say I had to bite off a piece and chew it for over a minute before swallowing.
It will be a looooooong time before I enter another LJS or Taco Bell. I went to their site and left a note detailing this experience. Either this store needs to get new management or they need to get some kids in there who take their job more seriously.

Got fish at LJS
Wasn't expecting a gourmet meal but, fish was overcooked, rubbery and overall nasty
workers there were like clowns with no supervision
no more LJS for me 😛
