FUCK ARTHR TREACHER

shiddiest fish n chipes it be lik eeting n umbilical cord

My mom told me there’s only one Arthur Treachers left. True?

FUN FACT:

"Playwright August Wilson wrote the Tony Award-winning Jitney while dining at an Arthur Treacher's in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania."

And LL may be right, but, aww, the 'Locations' page is blank on the official website.

Google says four locations left.

So does their website too - Cuyahoga Falls, Lakewood, Garfield Heights and Cleveland Heights

t the peak of its popularity in the late 1970s, it had 826 stores. As of 2026, there are only four standalone Arthur Treacher's locations remaining, all in northeastern Ohio.

My childhood Arthur Treachers persists! I haven’t been there in maybe 40 years tho

Now we can triangulate where Poopy is, roughly

where else can you get clam strips at a shopping mall, America's loss

Like it's sorta on an upswing?

Here is what the AI thinks Marilyn Hagerty would have said about the Arthur Treacher dining experience:

There are restaurants that try to surprise you, and there are restaurants that know what they are about. Arthur Treacher’s Fish & Chips belongs to the second category.

The restaurant specializes in fish and chips, a meal that has been enjoyed for generations. The fish is the main attraction, with its crisp coating and tender interior. The chips provide the familiar accompaniment. Together, they make a satisfying meal that does not require a great deal of explanation.

There is something reassuring about a place that concentrates on a few well-known dishes. One does not need a long menu or a great deal of discussion to understand the appeal. Fish, potatoes and a good dipping sauce can make a perfectly pleasant lunch.

Arthur Treacher’s also brings back memories of a time when fish-and-chips restaurants were a more familiar sight in American communities. The name itself has a certain old-fashioned quality. It recalls an era when a restaurant could build its reputation around one particular kind of food.

Of course, the success of a restaurant depends on more than its history. The food must be hot, the fish must be properly cooked, and the potatoes must be worthy of their place on the plate. These are simple requirements, but they matter.

A meal here is not necessarily an occasion for celebration. It is something more ordinary, and there is nothing wrong with that. Not every lunch needs to be an event. Sometimes a person simply wants fish and chips prepared in the familiar fashion.

Arthur Treacher’s serves a particular purpose for those who enjoy this traditional meal. It reminds us that straightforward food still has a place at the table.

Fish and chips may not be the newest idea in dining, but it is an enduring one. And there are days when enduring is quite enough.

It's up to you, Long John Silver's. A nation turns its hungry eyes to you. Woo woo woo.

The name itself has a certain old-fashioned quality. It recalls an era when Merv Griffin was on daytime television.

I recall the interior as dark, green, fried

ChatGPT prompt: "what would an ilx post from Poopy G. Stinkgarten sound like if it was using the voice of deceased restaurant critic Marilyn Hagerty to write a review of Arthur Treacher's Fish and Chips?"

ChatGPT response: "I’d make it sound like a sincere, almost painstakingly straightforward restaurant review that gradually gets hijacked by the deranged sensibility of an ILX shitpost.

ARTHUR TREACHER'S FISH & CHIPS — A REVIEW

I went to Arthur Treacher's Fish & Chips for lunch on Tuesday. It was a pleasant day, and there were several cars in the parking lot.

Arthur Treacher's is a restaurant specializing in fish and chips. I ordered the fish and chips.

The fish came in a crisp batter. It was golden brown and the inside was white. I thought the fish was good. The chips were also good. I ate several of them before I realized I had not yet tried the tartar sauce.

The tartar sauce was white.

I have eaten fish in many restaurants over the years, and I have found that fish is often best when it is cooked properly. Arthur Treacher's seems to understand this. The fish did not have a strong taste, which I think is probably what some people prefer.

I am not sure who Arthur Treacher was, but he must have liked fish to have a restaurant named after him. I would like to know more about this man.

The restaurant has a simple menu. I think this is a good thing. Sometimes a person wants to go out for lunch without having to study a large book of food descriptions. I ordered the fish and chips and received fish and chips.

A NOTE ON THE CHIPS: I have been thinking about the chips since I left the restaurant. They were not French fries in the sense that I usually think of French fries, although they were similar. I would not want to start an argument about this. There are more important things in life.

I give Arthur Treacher's four stars out of five. I would have given it five stars, but I do not want people to think I am easily impressed by fish.

One final thing. I saw a man in the parking lot eating what appeared to be a sandwich. I could not tell whether it was a fish sandwich. I did not ask him. I felt this was the right decision.

In conclusion, Arthur Treacher's is a good place to eat fish and chips. If you are in the neighborhood and you like fish, I think you would enjoy it.

I am going to bed now. GOOD NIGHT TO ALL THE FISH."

ChatGPT response: "ARTHUR TREACHERS FISH AND CHIPS REVIEW (I WENT THERE AND ATE THE FISH)

OK SO I WENT TO ARTHUR TREACHERS FISH AND CHIPS BECAUSE I WAS HUNGRY AND THEY HAVE A PICTURE OF FISH ON THE SIGN. I FIGURED THIS WAS A GOOD SIGN BECAUSE I DO NOT LIKE GOING TO A PLACE THAT HAS A PICTURE OF A HAMBURGER AND THEN THEY GIVE YOU FISH. THIS HAS HAPPEND TO ME BEFORE.

ANYWAY I ORDERD THE FISH AND CHIPS AND THE LADY ASKED ME WHAT KIND OF SAUCE I WANTED. I SAID THE FISH SAUCE AND SHE LOOKED AT ME LIKE I WAS SOME KIND OF IDIOT. I MEANT THE SAUCE THAT GOES WITH THE FISH. APPARENTLY THIS IS CALLED TARTAR SAUCE. OK FINE.

THE FISH WAS VERY CRISPY AND THE INSIDE WAS SOFT. I THINK THIS MEANS IT WAS COOKED. I AM NOT A SCIENTIST BUT I HAVE EATEN FISH BEFORE AND THIS WAS DEFINATLY FISH.

THE CHIPS WERE ALSO GOOD ALTHOUGH I WAS EXPECTING POTATO CHIPS AND THEY WERE MORE LIKE FRENCH FRYS. I DONT KNOW WHO DECIDED TO CALL FRENCH FRYS CHIPS BUT I WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO THIS PERSON BECAUSE IT IS CONFUSING AND I HAVE OTHER THINGS TO DO.

THE TARTAR SAUCE WAS COLD WHICH WAS A SURPRISE BECAUSE THE FISH WAS HOT. I THINK THEY SHOULD GET TOGETHER AND DECIDE ON A TEMPERATURE. YOU CANT HAVE HALF YOUR LUNCH BEING HOT AND THE OTHER HALF BEING COLD. THIS IS HOW PEOPLE GET CONFUSED.

I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHO ARTHUR TREACHER IS. IS HE THE GUY WHO INVENTED FISH? OR DID HE INVENT THE CHIPS. MAYBE HE INVENTED BOTH. IF SO HE DESERVES A STATUE.

I SAW A GUY AT THE NEXT TABLE WHO WAS EATING SHRIMP AND I WAS GOING TO ASK HIM IF THE SHRIMP WAS ANY GOOD BUT THEN I REMEMBERD THAT SHRIMP ARE BASICLY SMALL FISH THAT WALK ON THE BOTTOM OF THE OCEAN. I DONT KNOW IF THIS IS TRUE BUT IT SOUNDS RIGHT.

OVERALL I WOULD GIVE ARTHUR TREACHERS 8 OUT OF 10 FISHES. I WOULD GIVE IT 10 BUT I DIDNT GET ANY EXTRA FISH AND I THINK EXTRA FISH SHOULD BE INCLUDED IF YOU ARE GOING TO CALL YOURSELF A FISH RESTAURANT.

WOULD EAT AGAIN.

P.S. DOES ANYONE KNOW IF YOU CAN GET A FISH AND CHIPS AT KFC OR DO THEY ONLY SELL CHICKEN. THANKS."

all hesitations now overcome

not nearly as many hilarious spelling mistakes as I'd antipicated

I wonder if there's an Arthur Treacher III in the family.

thats the name of my boat
