    Actually it caught fire before it was abandoned, I live here in Lawton Oklahoma, so the fire department does not know what caused the fire, it has been closed for a year now, they had to be shut down until they can figure out what caused the fire to start

    Remodeled and reopened last week. Kept the original building but completely gutted the inside. The hype was crazy once people found out they were going to reopen everyone was asking when they were going to reopen it got to be a joke. When they reopened the wait time was over an hour. Nobody cared about them until the fire then everybody was upset they were closed lol.

    I used to really enjoy the crispy bits from their fish filets. However, I feel that LJS food quality has really declined in recent years. One nice thing the LJS I lived near in Louisville Kentucky often had free fish fries for anyone.

      I live in Louisville too but don't remember the free fries. I still go to the LJS/A&W on Preston Highway sometimes but the service is always really slow and the food sure isn't as good as it used to be back in the 70's and 80's.

    My very 1st job was Long John here in Weatherford. From personal experience I'd bet they weren't cleaning behind the fry vats. We were told to pull them out and clean twice a day to prevent fires. Then they got rid of the good management and brought it a guy who literally slept his way into management. He wouldn't let us clean behind the vats. One month later I quit because I didn't want to be there when trouble started. A month after that code inspection came in and shut them down because of the grease buildup causing a fire hazard. It took weeks to get everything cleaned. We had never gotten a grade lower than 90. I went in almost a year later and new management said they scored a 30 because of that idiot.

    There was a combined LJS/A&W restaurant in the Poconos (near Blakeslee) right by 476 which closed about five years ago and now is a BURGER KING… ironic because there already was a Burger King in the neighborhood (less than a mile east) which closed in the early 2000s and was abandoned for a long time before finally being demolished within the last few years. I was amazed at how decrepit the abandoned building was allowed to become considering the fact it was RIGHT NEXT DOOR to a perfectly good hotel (I think a Holiday Inn Express)
