Long John Silver's Shuts Down Joliet Restaurant Forever

JOLIET, IL — Joliet's Long John Silver's at 2421 West Jefferson St. has gone out of business, leaving the city with no Long John Silver's fast-food restaurants.

Area residents will now have to drive to Downers Grove, Morris, Matteson, Ottawa — or even Gary, Indiana, to get your Long John Silver's fix.

Often, national fast-food restaurant franchises post a sign on their window urging customers to visit their nearest locations when they close, but not Long John Silver's.

A one word sign on its window says everything you need to know: "CLOSED."

According to Google Reviews, the Joliet Long John Silver's had a total of 587 reviews, averaging 3.7 stars out of 5 stars.

The last Google Review for the Joliet fast-food restaurant came less than one week ago.

The reviewer gave it 4 stars and commented, "Some days it's good. Some days it's not. I'd rather wait 5 mins for hot food instead of 2 mins for cold food."
