I really love Long John Silver's chicken actually. I know it's primarily known for fish, but their chicken is probably my favorite chicken. The food is greasy as hell though.

    Less greasy than Capn D's, at least in my area. I've never tried the chicken, but fish n fries are a delicious heart attack in a bag.

    If you've tried their fish you've basically tried their chicken. Due to them being fried with the same batter in the same oil, they taste nearly identical. The fish doesn't really taste like fish and the chicken doesn't really taste like chicken - both taste like batter and grease that's been reused one too many times.

    I love it.

    They used to do $5 plates, too, with two pieces of fish or chicken with fries, creamy coleslaw, and a few hushpuppies, with tartar sauce. I haven't been in quite some time, so that probably went away?

    I haven't been there in a decade if not longer. My family used to buy their giant boxes of fried chicken or fish when I was a kid, never tried anything else.

    Checking online, that $5 plate you mentioned is now $12 at my local LJS.

    Yeah, it's probably been about 8-10 years since I went, too. I guess it's still not too bad of a deal, considering how crazy prices are. Better if they pay decent wages, but... It's ljs.

    I guess it stands to reason that the chicken is good cause the fish was garbage.

    There is one in my hometown that i think pretty much has to be a front because i have never seen anyone actually inside the place and its in a seaside town with local fish and chips chain locations that have MUCH better food for the same price.
