This is a good franchise, casual, relaxed with cheap food. The fried fish and chicken I think is the best. It is a good option when you don't want to eat hamburgers. It's a simple place with simple food, that's it. I recommend when visiting Thompson GA.

We drove all way from Savannah because this is the closest LJS. My husband has been craving chicken planks. So for an early valentines treat I drove us there to have lunch!! The staff was super friendly and even cooked his 9 chicken planks fresh and brought us a bag and box for his leftovers.......the restaurant was decorated cute for Valentine’s Day and very clean. Well worth our day trip. Thank you staff of the Thomas, Ga Long John Silver!!!!

We stopped here on our way to Charleston from Fort Payne. The food was well prepared, and flavorful. The staff was friendly, prompt, and polite. The portions were large and low cost. For all of you that look for "All You Can Eat" dining, this has it on Sundays.

Haven't been to a LJS in years. I miss them. Stopped here while traveling. Excellent customer service. The store was clean. Food was served hot and fresh. Just a great surprise. We were feeling a little down traveling home from a funeral and this really helped me. Ring ring !

Hadn't been to a LJS in years since the last one closed in our home area. We stopped here on our way home from visiting family in the area. Food was excellent and the service was great. Really missed those fish tacos.

Friendly workers. The food was nice and hot when served, and my requested condiments were all brought at the same time. After all of these years, I still love the hush puppies!

Best Long John Silver's I ever eaten at...and I mean consistently over the years. Super friendly staff who get your order right and they do it quickly. Also very clean and tidy establishment. We will drive 30 minutes to Thomson to eat here over the 7 minute drive to the one in Augusta. Worth it every single time. Highly recommend.
