Long John Silver’s
Long John Silver’s is a quick-service restaurant brand focused on fish, seafood, chicken, and related menu items. We serve customers looking for fast, convenient meals through dine-in, take-out, and, at many locations, drive-thru service. Our restaurants are built to our specifications and operate with a limited menu designed for prompt service. We operate in traditional standalone and strip center locations, as well as co-brand and express restaurant formats. Across each format, we use the same restaurant system, trade dress, and operating standards to deliver a consistent guest experience.
