Wasn't there one on third street back in the day?

If so, the last time I ate there was 2000, and it was the third or fourth consecutive time that I ate it and had a massive stomach ache after.  Haven't been back since.

I may give it a try again.  I think there's one off of 135th and Antioch.

Why is the corn in one of those baggies for picking up dog crap?  plate.

that's ljs getting creative in different ways to cram more yellow/golden brown stuff onto their plates.

As a kid, it was a real family treat to drive to Pittsburg to the big WalMart and then have dinner at LJS.

I haven't had it in years. It's too greasy.

I cherish LJS.  I normally do not like fish, but I love LJS fish. Probably because it does not taste like fish.  It's a delivery mechanism for batter. 

I get 2 piece fish with hush puppies, and add a fish. Before eating the fish, i drench it in malt vinegar.

I had this last night without the extra fish. Dip the hush puppies in their cocktail sauce. Inhaled, felt bad about an hour later...

What made AJ think of this?

Can confirm there is one Captain D's left in Colorado Springs. Have been too scared to go in. Haven't had LJS in 15 years?

I really like their blue and gold color scheme. very unique in fast food if you ask me.
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

I don't even get fries there, I sub extra hush puppies.  Also, I always ask for an extra plate/tray thing.  It is on the extra plate that I douse the fish with the malt vinegar.  This must be kept separate from the puppies and crispies.

I would have estimated a piece of the fried fish to be around 800 calories. turns out it's only 230. seems low.

It's better for you because it's fish.

Mrs. Deputy Dawg forbids me from eating there, have to sneak around if I want their greasy fare with malt sauce.

That place is horribly awful.  I think Wichita is down to one by the old Kmart on 47th

There is one on north Maize Rd.

What was somebody saying about white and mid-westerly?
