I could eat an entire bucket of their fried clams.

I love LJS but only eat it once every 6 months to a year. I get the fish/chicken combo, it's heaven while I'm eating it but when I'm done I am immediately filled with regret. I feel like I could be minutes from a heart attack. Also a sign to just how bad LJS is that I absolutely cannot stand fish or seafood of any kind. I frequently vacation in New Orleans, I lived in Massachusetts and Maine, but all food out of the water taste the same. Catfish, alligator, salmon, lobster; I really taste very little difference. LJS though is not fish, it's deep fat fried goodness wrapped in regret.

Nothing like fast food seafood in the middle of the midwest.  :Ugh: :Yuck:

There is one in the Boston area that was 30 minutes away from my house and my office, still grubbed twice while I lived there.

I completely agree.  I don't like "fishy" tasting things, but I love LJS fried fish.

The closest one here is 30 minutes away.

The 4th closest one is in Lacey, WA. :surprised:

Don't waste your time, you are now adjacent to fabulous chowder.  We may need a separate chowder thread.

That pike place chowder is right outside my new barber's place.  We can talk about it next hoops chat.

Me too. I'm so jealous of people that enjoy fish and vegetables. My diet is filled with regret and make up workouts.

I can enjoy pretty much any type of food. It's a shame that catfish tastes the same as swordfish to you.

This is the key. I hear this all the time, but have never experienced and I eat a lot of trash food. LJS seems to do it to me every time.

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.

God I love that place.  I use approximately 400 oyster crackers in my chowder.  And, I just get the regular style.  None of that kind with salmon or cheese or whatever.  Old school white clam chowder.

Pro tip: If you don't want to wait on the tourist line at the one at the market, they have a satellite shop in Pacific Place, the mall about 6 blocks east.  Nobody's ever there.  They also have a happy hour.

I'm gonna have to go eat LJS this week just because of this thread. I think the last time I ate there was the old one before they tore it down. I went to school with some of the guys that worked there and they used to give us free food and make the worlds largest hush puppies and not charge. Someone even got fired and would still go in and cook his own food then leave, after he was no longer employed there. Probably why the old one closed.

Heh yeah. They actually put  typed  signs up that said they closed because shitty employees were out of control and they were losing too much money.

I've asked for my money back once after waiting 20+ minutes for my order and not getting it.  It was at the old mkh ljs.  I was the only one in the store. 
I got a guy on the other line about some white walls

The LJS/A&W combos are the worst.  I can't help but get the fish/chicken combo with A&W cheddar bites for my side.  The addition of fried cheese makes it worse.
