Lunch Rush In Temple, Texas: Long John Silver’s Reopens

There was one eatery that many in Temple, Texas waited patiently for its return.

So what food establishment are we talking about? A Texas steakhouse perhaps? Maybe a new Whataburger?

Actually no, neither of those things. Instead, it's a Long John Silver's many in Temple were waiting for its return. Two years ago, in October of 2021, the eatery unfortunately was lost due to an electrical fire. When it was announced that it would return to the city, many couldn't wait for it to come back.

Now that restaurant is finally open, the rush has begun. We wanted to see to how crazy it was set to be. Honestly, we were surprised to say the least.
