“ Ordered 2 lunches of takeout from LJS on Apperson Drive, Roanoke VA. Ordered thru the app. Drive thru staff person was outstanding, Food was good, but on one order, I asked for Cole Slaw and got Waffle Fries instead. Very good value thru app, as one lunch was free. ”
“ This place is very clean. If you come during lunch time there might be a small wait, but it's worth it because the food is always fresh. The dining room stays packed. I've observed the gentleman taking orders during lunch time being very patient with the elderly that come in. The night crew isn't as friendly but the food is still good overall. ”
“ I haven't been to a LJSs in a while but this one is typical. Fried everything but good seafood options if that's what you are looking for. We've been back a few times. It's a change from chicken and burgers. ”
“ Loving the new kiosks!ould clean the tables more often, but it's been the same few people working for the past couple of months that I recognize and I would day they are all clean looking and hard working. Also, i prefer the packets of tarter instead of cups that we fill ourselves. Seems germy. (For context, I typically go during the week between 12-1pm.) ”
“ The service and food were great. The building appears to be older, which is why the atmosphere is not great. Worth the trip ”
