It's not going to blow you away but it's still solid. Maybe been a couple years now since I last ate at the one on 71.

Its not going to blow you away, unlike Waffle House patrons.

Jim's is still open.

Jim’s is damned fine. Great diner breakfast, fluffy biscuits, and maybe the best chorizo and egg taco in town (you heard me). And their burger is first-rate…or at least it was when I last had one.

As for LJS, one of the most surreal scenes was at the Brownwood location. I was on a late road trip for work to Sweetwater. Needed to grab something to eat in the car, saw LJS and thought hell yeah, fish sammich. As I pulled up, a pickup with a flatbed parked next to me. Three cowboys got out. I don’t mean they dressed like it, I mean they were legit bow-legged, were wearing well-worn spurs, dirt on the back of their necks, the whole deal. They walk inside in front of me and order their LJS combo plates, and it just seemed weird as hell. But eat what you want, fellas. You earned it.

Dumb And Dumber Reaction GIF

This happened to me almost 20 years ago after eating at a Subway in San Marcos. Not sure I've eaten at one since.

I have threatened to take my kids to Subway. They're spoiled having Jersey Mike's as an option.

My dad raised me to never eat seafood more than two hours drive from saltwater.  That rule has served me well all the days of my life.

First and last time I ate at a Longjohn Silver's my mom wanted to try it on a trip into Houston for supplies for her craft shop.  The floor was so greasy that we could barely stay upright.  We stayed and tried it anyway and found that the slick floor was the highlight of the experience.

Of course, a greasy floor is a sign of a poorly run restaurant of any type.

Get into a good LJS, where they clean the floors and change the frying oil, and it's a pretty credible version of fish n chips.  And, as mentioned, if you're afraid of fast-food fish, the chicken planks are pretty damn good.  They put crack or something in that batter and have malt vinegar, so that's about all you need to say about that.

Your dad's rule is sound, though.
