San Bernardino Long John Silver’s reopens

Just in time for meatless Fridays for lots of people, the sole San Bernardino Long John Silver’s, 145 E. Highland Ave., has reopened!

The restaurant had been closed since last year and the location was wiped from the LJS website.

The story, as told to me by a the wife of a guy who gets his haircut at the barbershop across the street, is that the restaurant closed after a kitchen fire and the reconstruction was held up when the contractor wasn’t being paid due a snafu with the insurance company.

Makes perfect sense to me.

Anyway, Donna, I’m sure you’re glad that they have reopened, just in time to get fish and chips (but no chicken planks!) on Friday.

San Bernardino Long John Silver’s goes belly-up

I drove by the remaining San Bernardino Long John Silver’s on Highland Avenue the other day and noticed it’s still “closed for remodeling.”

Um…yeah…it’s been “closed for remodeling” for months now. However, the signage was still up, so I thought for a split second that they might actually be doing work inside the boarded-up restaurant.

When I got home, I checked the restaurant’s website for nearby locations.

The San Bernardino location was no longer listed.

They are closed.

Through a Google search I found a couple of listings which indicate to me that they might be trying to sell the franchise and keep it as a Long John Silver’s, perhaps combined with a KFC. I think that’s a good move.

For those of you who are now craving fried seafood, just down the street from the closed LJS is the H. Salt Fish & Chips at 1484 E. Highland Ave. They’ve been there for ages and the folks that work there are the best.

Market Broiler still celebrating 20 years with specials

Last night I had a wonderful (and inexpensive) meal at Market Broiler at the Ontario Mills mall.

I’ve seen the advertisement announcing 20th anniversary deals on that electronic billboard off the southbound 15 near Fourth Street, but I haven’t had a chance to check them out for myself until last night.

I swear the Riverside location has been there for more than 20 years.

They have three deals that are offered every day:

  • Fish and chips ($7.95)
  • Fresh catch of the day ($9.95)
  • Snow crab platter ($9.95)

They also have four daily deals, all priced at $9.95:

  • Mondays: Design your own duo
  • Tuesdays: Sirloin steak and shrimp
  • Wednesdays: Caramelized salmon
  • Thursdays: Triple “S” combo (Salmon, snapper and shrimp skewer)

In addition to the meal specials, they are offering half-price wine on Mondays and Tuesdays,
and half-price appetizers (one per guest) on Wednesdays and Thursdays.
