Despite only three staff members working on a busy Sunday after church, the food was cooked to perfection, and all five of us received our orders exactly as we requested.

Also there was a general lack of the crunchy bits that have historically been a bonus to any LJS combo.The low score is for the service. The staff was friendly but the stars were lost due to the practice of trying to play games with the customer service timer. For those not in the know, many fast food lines time their customers in line from the point you order until your food is delivered. On this particular visit, we were the only people in line, no one in front at any stage, nor behind. The ordering went as expected, and we moved to the window. Payment was delivered and we received our drinks. We were then instructed to pull forward and wait at the crosswalk, still no one behind us tryinpay nor was there anyone ordering. This stops the timer and makes it appear that they were able to take the order, payment, and deliver the food in a minute or so. Great for store metrics- but it kills the entire purpose of the system which is intended to motivate speed. So, there we waited 5-10 min to get our food, nothing fancy, just a couple combo meals. When it was delivered, the young man was also very friendly.LJS is not alone in this, unfortunately, it's becoming increasingly popular at fast food restaurants to manipulate the timing metrics.

Fryers didn't work for the long john side which is why I drove to pickens and then they were out of most of the stuff I would consider eating on the chicken side.
