The location can use a little revamp and TLC but the food is always delicious when I go. Perfectly fried fish and shrimp and delicious Tartar Sauce. I am always satisfied with my meal. The staff is also really nice and offer great service. They always take the food to our table while other fast food chains don't do that at all.

“A Late-Night Craving for Connection”
My husband and I had just left a store in Mauldin, South Carolina, when a craving for Long John Silver’s hit us out of nowhere. It was one of those silly, impulsive moments—nothing dramatic, just a spark of nostalgia wrapped in the smell of fried fish and hush puppies.
At first, we both assumed we’d be out of luck. Ever since the pandemic lockdowns, late-night dining has become a rare luxury. Most places shut down by nine, and I was already preparing myself for disappointment. But then, I half-jokingly said, “Just Google it—what do we have to lose?”
A few seconds later, his face lit up. “Heck yeah!” he laughed. “They’re open until 10 tonight!”
Now, I know what you’re thinking: Who gets this excited over a fast-food place being open after nine on a weeknight?
But for us, that small discovery felt like a win—a tiny return to spontaneity, to the way things used to feel before everything started closing early and life got too predictable.
You see, I’ve always been a **night owl**. Even as a kid, I’d stay up until three or four in the morning, wide awake while the rest of the world slept. Some might call it insomnia, but I called it freedom—the quiet hum of late hours when ideas flutter and no one needs anything from you.
But time changes everything. I grew up, built a career in sales, got married, had babies—two beautiful ones, 26 months apart. If you’re a parent, you know that life becomes a delicate act of sacrifice and reward. You pour yourself into everything—your kids, your job, your marriage—and before long, there’s barely a sliver of daylight left for yourself.
Still, I gave it all everything I had. That’s who I am: All In, 1000%. But inside me, there’s always been this odd duality. I thrive around people—the energy, the conversation, the laughter—but then, without warning, I crash. It’s like hitting an invisible wall; suddenly, I need silence. I crave space. I need to breathe alone.
Some have called that “bipolar.” Maybe they’re right. Maybe it’s just wiring—an overclocked brain that feels too much, loves too hard, and burns too bright.
That night, standing in the parking lot admiring the last remnants of The SuperMoon, under the glow of a neon fish sign, I realized how something as simple as finding a restaurant open late could feel like redemption. A small victory for the night owl I used to be—and still am, beneath all the layers of responsibility.
Because sometimes joy isn’t found in the big milestones. It’s in the greasy takeout bag that smells like childhood, in the laughter between partners on a quiet drive home, and in the reassurance that—just for a moment—you get to be yourself again.
Oh yeah, back to the review:
The food was EXCELLENT: piping hot, except for the cole slaw which was perfectly cool. Everything was fresh. They were extremely generous with the condiments we requested, even the napkins.
The Drive-Through employee was charming, funny while still being professional and was a refreshing change from typical customer service employees who make you feel like you’re bothering them if you dare ask a question or require assistance with a product. I wish I had caught his name because he definitely deserves to be rewarded for doing an outstanding job!

Placed a significant order for company from out of town that wanted LJS. They forgot 1/2 my chicken. So I had to drive 15 min there and 15 min back again. Then I got to sit down and eat my hour old cold fish. Not so much as a sorry when I picked it up. No can I do anything else for you. Heck...how about a would you like a 25 cent cup of tea for the road. Just disappointing.

Out going messages are fine, as long as customers can leave a detailed message. Saying Good Bye is not cool. I am not driving all to Spartanburg to find a business closed. User Friendly application, and phone answering service can avoid that issue for customers.
