Long John Silver's — Restaurant in Athens

This was the first time I had been back since them replacing my raw food in October. I have a big family, so I order alot when I come through. I ordered the 16 piece family meal half chicken, half fish. The girl at the window was very nice. I waited quite a while but wasn't upset by it as I was not in a hurry anyways. She handed us everything and I went over to save a lot and opened it. My 19 yr old pregnant daughter opens the box and says mom this chicken is burnt. I hate having to go back through when something is wrong, makes me feel like a jerk. I understand stuff happens so I usually try to just tolerate whatever it is that went wrong. Well, I had an awful time trying to eat it. It wasn't just the crust that was tough. The chicken was so hard and dry that I felt like an animal trying to rip it apart and honestly it hurt my teeth. I don't have bad teeth so the fact that it hurt says alot. I opened the hush puppies for my 6 yr old and most of them looked pretty burnt too. He went ahead and chomped them down, didn't care. My daughter tried to eat some of the chicken but she was pretty frustrated with it being so hard too so she finally gave up. I took it home and never said anything to the kids about it being burnt. They did eat it, and managed to not lose any teeth. But I can tell ya, I won't be spending nearly $50 for burnt (or raw like the time before) chicken. I didn't leave a review the first time because like I said, I understand stuff happens and they did make it right. But if it's going to be an every time thing, I won't waste my time and money here. It's very...

When I tell you this was the most succulent grub I’ve ever had the pleasure to eat, I would not be lying. The fish is locally sourced from the hocking river and the locally obtained chicken hails from Nelson dining hall down the road! The second the delicate flaky fried fish gently touched my taste buds, I knew I’d be back. Don’t even get me started on the hush puppies! Before I even tasted one I heard a gentle hush coming from the fried beauty, almost as if to release me of my everyday pain softly implying “hey, it’s okay, you’re safe now” just as my mother used to say. It’s literally as if Gordon Ramsay and Guy Fieri had a love child and birthed the chef that works at this Michelin star establishment! I took my best buddy Nate and he agreed with everything I presented to you in this review. He (and I kid you not) goes back every single day with his husband J Robbie and son Nolan. When I asked Nolan how he felt he told me and I quote “I literally peed out of my butt when I first tried it” and followed up with “I literally club my son Nolan over the head with a wooden bat and yell ooga every time I smell the appetizers” I Would recommend the Athens LJS 100%! - From Peyton...

Wife ordered popcorn shrimp. I ordered a meal. Of course like all restaurants, prices have went up. Understandable. I went the the restroom (cleanliness is to be desired). Anyway, when I returned to the table my wife was seated at, I looked at her food. I couldn't help but giggle which got her giggling. Here is the best I can describe her popcorn shrimp. Picture the smallest little cardboard boat/tray (whatever they call it) that Long John Silvers has. There just was enough popcorn shrimp in that tiny tray to cover the bottom. Literally. I told my wife, I would be embarrassed to serve that to a customer. We were giggling so much that I started looking around the room for hidden cameras for a TV show. The food tasted ok, there just wasn't even enough there to serve an infant. It's kind of a shame that we paid approximately $30 and that was the portion size. I usually aim to give positive reviews as much as possible. Unfortunately, I have to be a huge critic with this one. 2 stars is being more generous than their portion size. Sorry, we were entertained with giggles too much to...
