Everything was unexpectedly great

The chicken and waffle fries were delicious

LJS and Captn Ds are underrated for fast food seafood no doubt. Gimme some of them crunchies

Somehow I’ve never been to one.

Not surprising considering I think the closest one to BR/NO is Shreveport

And it’s not exactly a place you think to stop for when out of town

It’s really not bad for what it is.

True, but I lived in the Shreveport area 15 years.

The Giant Fish Sandwich at Captain D's is pretty decent.

There used to be a Capt D's by Tanger Mall in Gonzales. Not very good, mostly because the fried fish was so heavily battered. Never been to LJS, so I'll take your word for it.

I can't think of a time I've been in one either. Captain D's however is awesome. The one near our house is always busy and the food is great for fast food seafood.

On an unrelated note, does anyone remember when Jack in the Box used to have fish and chips on their menu? It was a long time ago, but I remember liking it.

Both Cork's and Off the Hook are really good fast seafood in the BR area.

Chicken planks at LJS are the best fast food chicken strips in the biz. And the little extra crunchies are a chef’s kiss!

I wish there was one near me. We had one in Lake Charles but it closed a long time ago. That chicken has always been good and I'll take an order of the crunchies with it.


Say what you will but I love me some LJS!
