Worst Restaurant in America

This is the greatest big catch of All Time

[RyDos]

Charlie slowly going from saying "Long John Silver's" to "LJS" after making fun of someone for even attempting to create an abbreviation for it is fucking fantastic

[Jcc]

My local Long John Silvers closed and the very recognizable building was repainted grey and black and turned into a "Cremation Society" where old people come to meet and discuss how they wanna be scorched to dust.

Pretty poetic if you ask me.

In like 2008 my parents stopped at an LJS in desperation for a toilet. there was a bell near the exit that said "ring me if you enjoyed your meal". It was coated in a comical amount of cobwebs

Long John Silvers is like the real-life version of the Chum Bucket. Terrible restaurant, nobody goes there, yet inexplicably it's still open

[LKOnyx]

Long John Silver is the real life equivalent of the Chum Bucket. They should actually market themselves as some sort of sick challenge to eat their food and not vomit afterwards.

I ate at Long John Silver's once, the fried shrimp turned my entire digestive system inside out and gave me severe testicular cancer. So anyways it wasn't that bad.

The more times Charlie rejects the idea of a Long John Silver’s tier list, the more he guarantees it will happen. He’s been on the internet long enough to know how this works.

The ones near me in Georgia have been "closed for remodel" for years. No one has ever been there to do any remodeling. I do remember liking it as a kid in the 90s, but kids' taste buds don't really count.

My old boss was a professionally trained chef, he said he had only worked one fast food job in his life and it was long john silvers. He was hired on as a manager and quit his first day because the employees were shooting each other with bleach spray like water guns

I've had some 2/10 experiences and 9/10 experiences at Long John Silver's. Seems like it really depends on location, especially considering poorly-prepared seafood can be a lot worse than poorly-prepared everything else.

When I was in high school, I once skipped class to do something off campus. As the day went on, I got hungry and saw a Long John Silver's restaurant nearby. I decided to go in and order a combo box of popcorn shrimp and hushpuppies. Unfortunately, the food was soggy and unappetizing. I regretted my decision and felt like I was being punished for skipping class. This experience taught me to think twice before skipping class again.

[Six_iffinder]

There’s a really old restaurant that has a sign saying “if you don’t like the food, head down to long John silvers” the signs so old it outlasted the long Joan silvers down the road and I still eat there today

[massimoruggieri]

We need a menu tier list based off how dangerous Charlie thinks the items would be to eat

[greengrasshopper]

Charlie has single-handedly increased traffic to LJS stores by 1000% by posting this video. They should offer him a sponsorship.

I work in the seafood department at a grocery store, and I get the feeling it would be a nightmare running a huge chain seafood restaurant. A lot of fish are very inconsistent in their availability.

[cshguy]

given how many of them have burnt down and the fact that opening a long john silvers franchise is literally the worst possible investment you could make, I think it's pretty reasonable to assume that most of the fires are insurance fraud.

[rotarydude]

I actually have picked up from LJS a few times over the past 3 years for work, most recently this past December. An older lady was managing the inside, and it was kind of sad because she actually put a lot of effort into making decorations for the interior only for presumably nobody to ever really sit and eat in there.

[realsmosher]

My grandpa, who passed from nothing long John silvers related, used to love the restaurant and he said very specific food is the best but others will give you food poisoning. He stopped eating it when the one near our house closed but I'm sure he's eating LJS in heaven.

[yanipheonu]

Long John Silver is literally famous for pretending to be a ship cook and ends up tricking and betraying the crew so they can get treasure, so this all tracks

[mirach]

I’m so glad you’re talking about this. I once went to an LJS years ago with my family. My dad was gaslighted by the ads on tv. The fish was horribly dry and the fries were no better. Needless to say, that was our first and last time there.
