A national map I found says there are 611 of them left in the country and only two cities in my state have any. This one was a combo place with a KFC. A bit weird, as they don't have the same owner anymore. I've heard that most of the standalone LJSs have a "ship" design to them, but this one didn't. Had a very generic, corporate version of "lively" to it. KFC was definitely the "primary" restaurant for this place, despite the outside signs being equal size. There was a KFC-style metal ribbon around the ceiling that I think mentioned "finger lickin' good" and the bag that my food came in was a KFC one.<br /><br />Despite the place looking new, the ceiling was leaking and there wasn't even a bucket catching it until after I arrived. There were zero other customers there at 11 AM on a Tuesday in a busy part of town. I wanted seafood, naturally, so I got the shrimp and fish combo. They actually had combos that included chicken, possibly as an overlap with the KFC side. Between the rain, the emptiness, and my current bad mood from unrelated things, I just wasn't in the mood to eat it there by myself. I took the mislabeled KFC bag to my office.<br /><br />The fried shrimp tasted fine, but they were inconsistent as to whether they removed the tail or just deep-fried it as well, and I'm pretty sure I consumed a tail hidden under a layer of fish batter that scratched my throat.<br /><br />The fish was okay as well. But it was a single large slab of the stuff, and they had failed to provide me with a knife, just a plastic spork. That made for inconvenient eating. Near the end I had run out of the tartar sauce that they had given me, so I thought I'd try one of these packets of malt vinegar that they also gave me for one of the last bites. Ick! I had forgotten what the stuff actually was, but it was way too strong a taste for this. The other packet went in the trash. I finished out my forgettable sides and that was it.<br /><br />Overall, I'd give the food a C- and everything else a D.<br /><br />Also, dammed if I can get this site to comment under my Blogger account like I usually do and not just log in to my main Blogger account page, then forget I did so when I come back here.Adamhttps://Bestoftheinternets.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-411374383982984063.post-32779811970359589292020-11-12T04:59:12.190-05:002020-11-12T04:59:12.190-05:00The staff probably works for scale.The staff probably works for scale.DrDarkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14975058460852702618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-411374383982984063.post-28907373533120507092018-12-25T21:49:43.900-05:002018-12-25T21:49:43.900-05:00Indeed.
