"Honestly never understood all the Long John Silvers hate. Every time I've personally eaten there the fish was hot, crispy, and flavorful."
"3 piece fish meal. Tastes like 1989. And that's a good thing."
"I much prefer Long John's over Captain Ds."
"I think their chicken tenders are the best in the fast food game."
Long John Silver's expanded rapidly and reached over 1,000 locations in the 1980s but later shuttered over half its restaurants due to overexpansion, changing consumer tastes, ownership changes, and strong competition. The chain accumulated negative press from health officials over the years, yet a significant portion of customers defend the food quality and consistency. Customers praise hot, crispy, flavorful fish, enduring menu items that evoke nostalgia, strong side dishes, and good value for money. Popular orders include multi-piece fish meals, hush puppies, fries, and chicken tenders, and some patrons prefer Long John Silver's to competing seafood chains.
