Long John Silver's — Restaurant in Elkhart

*UPDATE 8-19-24 I went to LJS two days ago to order a #12 & a #13. Number 12 is the chicken/fish platter and a number 13 is a super sampler. I also got ordered a small cheese curds. I noticed the prices of the platter were up a dollar since I last visited about six months ago but what was even more noticeable was the size of the fish and chicken!!! The fish now looks like a large nugget. Raise the prices and cut the portion size. Joe Biden doesn't deserve the blame for fast food prices, blame corporate greed. I'd give you five stars except it was 90 degrees outside and your thermostat said it was 84 degrees inside. Other than it being too warm in the dining room, the food was hot...

I've had people give me a hard time about my love for LJS. I don't get it. Is it gourmet seafood? If course not. They have very tasty fish and chips, good tasting chicken, the hush puppies are iconic and always good. They serve malt vinegar, shrimp cocktail sauce, tartar sauce with your meals, which is the greatest choice of condiments at any fast food restaurant.

And I was so happy to see they are still friendly and the food was top notch. Like any chain, some locations are mismanaged. These guys have got it...

My fiance's chicken planks were so overcooked that they were tough on the inside. I got the grilled shrimp bowl and a side of coleslaw. It's a great thing because I had to dump the coleslaw of the rice just to choke it down. The food was warm but not hot. They were not busy, and there were plenty of people working. The employees frying the food (approx 3-4) were cussing, and they were not quiet about it. However, one bright spot was that I learned what all the employees planned on doing when they left the * place. I do not recommend taking a chance on this restaurant unless you like overcooked, tough, dry, barely warm food to spend your hard...
