    Used to be Long Johns had best slaw around today however. Was my worst experience in a restaurant. The manager Kelly S. Argues with the staff very loud and even us customers as we try and tell her something is different with the slaw. She insisted it taste fine to her and she made it just last night. The best thing for this place to do is fire her and start new I'll not be coming back. She is very rude to everyone employees and visitors. Please stop in and tell her about herself

    Staff was nice, no running water in both mens and womens bathroom, toilets all broke in both men and women's. No ice at the fountain machine. Food was okay. Won't eat at that one again!!!

    This place is AMAZING! Took my mother and daughter for lunch a couple times over the summer. It's so hard to get hot fresh food anywhere anymore. Everything was delicious, both times!! We are and sang songs from when I was a kid.

    The thing I like the most about LJS is the music they play. Also its nostalgic....brings back memories of my dad. They usually have something different and interesting on the menu but you cant go wrong with the standard dishes either. This particular time I had the fish and as usual it was crispity a d crunchy. Oh the delight as my pallet was satiated more with every bite.

    My husband and I went through the drive thru, and ordered 2 of the sampler platers. After repeatedly telling the guy who took our orders number 13, he continually said number 12. When we got our food, it was all messed up, other than the sides. I got fires and 4 fish, no shrimp. My husband got 2 fish and 1 chicken. After he went in and talked to them, he found out that ours wasn't the only order they messed up. There was a guy in there getting his order fixed, and a door dasher who said that they said the order was done, and it literally just went into the fryer. Once they got our meals fixed, my fries were ice cold, and everything was super greasy. We still ate it, and couldn't finish it. Fast forward to today and I reheat it in my air fryer, not just to heat it up, but to cook out some of the grease. It was still super greasy, and if I didn't pull it out, it would have burnt. But fish or chicken shouldn't not drip grease after it's been served! I could understand if they were super busy, but they weren't. We will not be ordering through drive thru again!

    I've recently moved here about 7 months ago & have been looking for a long John's no worries I've found it. Hot, delicious, & well cleaned & wonderful vibes with the music 🎢 playing while eating. Really enjoyed

    Having formerly worked at a Long John Silver's The smell is a nostalgia trip every time I walk in. This is one of those restaurants where the franchisee apparently has a lot more control so there's things that aren't on the main menu at all and can be combined willy-nilly with other things. In general the food's okay. The chicken is safe in bet and I am never disappointed by the hush puppies. still would not touch the coleslaw.

    the pictures will show you the restaurant is very clean and organized they play 1960's music in the store which is nice. food was hot and taste good and had very fast service. when they call your order number they do a rhyme with it :)

    The long john silver food was great. The a&w food on the other hand was not great. I didn't even taste the burger bc the smell was enough, and my 2 friends faces after eating it 😬 so I stick with the ljs food I've always had and loved!!

  • 4/5 David P. 10 months ago on Google
    Like other restaurants size of main meal shrinking, fish patty down in size. The crew needs to taste what they're serving. Ice tea way too strong.

  • 5/5 FrostHero77 11 months ago on Google
    I go here a lot and I haven't had anything bad from this place at. Even a couple times dining in. My kids love going here to especially hearing some of the funny phrases they do when calling out order numbers. So in my opinion it's a good place for others it might not be but I still give it 5 stars.

  • 5/5 Daniel P. 1 year ago on Google
    Great employees, very polite and hospitable. Excellent service, their sayings they do when they announce your order number is the best. You can never go wrong with anything battered and deep fried. Some of the best hush puppies, battered fish, onion rings, and fast food shrimp. The atmosphere is great, I absolutely love the old ocean side diner vibe and jukebox! The frosty mugs for your root beer is a nice touch.

    First of all, I feel like anyone reading a review of LJS already knows what to expect from this dining experience, but here goes anyway... The tables and benches are (fairly) clean. The food is delicious if you know what you're there for - fried foods. Hushpuppies... need I say more? The floors are so treacherously slippery it's almost like they're mopping it with grease water. But the service? Outstanding. The staff does their level best to make sure their challenging work environment is not the focus of your visit - the food is. They go out of their way to make sure your order is right, the food is delicious, and the environment is at least moderately clean and the condiments, drink stand, and napkins are all well stocked. I will be back. Because...? Hushpuppies served with a smile!

    I'm always happy with their food. I never have to worry about the taste changing and being disappointed. The service was amazing also.

    I'm a long time fan of Long John Silver's but not this one. The food was not good and I always have said they have the best cole slaw but this slaw was dry and just bad. The bathroom was a mess and the parking lot has pot holes in a bad way. It seems the owners have quit caring about the place. I also noticed they never reply to comments, somebody is a sleep at the wheel!

    I haven't had Long johns in a long time and never eaten at A&W. I got the #1 burger meal and lobster bites. Both were fantastic and the food didn't taste like grease. The staff was nice and I will definitely go back when I'm in the area.

  • 4/5 Lonnie L. 1 year ago on Google
    Same as the other Long John's drive through only. I hate eating in my car and LJS still doesn't allow inside searing, doors are locked

  • 4/5 Anne A. 1 year ago on Google
    The food never seems to change in taste, unfortunately my stomach does though, ha. Good food although a tad greasy.

  • 1/5 Crystal T. 1 year ago on Google
    The ice machine was broke. And the mens and women's restrooms was disgusting. All toilets was broke and backed up. And you couldn't even wash your hands there was no water.

    Wife ordered the baked salmon, I got a 2 piece fish meal. Wow, Bidenflation is really hitting fast food! Paid nearly 20 bucks for meals that would've been in the $10-15 range a couple years ago! Food was fine, however!

  • 5/5 Sarah J. 2 years ago on Google
    I never liked LJS growing up, but we just moved close to one and got coupons in the mail so we gave it a whirl. So glad we did! The special for Saturday was actually better than the coupon we were going to use. My picky husband loved the fish and the shrimp! Fries were too soggy for my taste, but I like crispy crispy fries. The chicken was amazing and popcorn shrimp was delicious too. I have no idea what a hush puppie is, but the whole family LOVED them! Everything tasted like it was made fresh.... including the Mac n' cheese! We will definitely be going back to this location.

  • 4/5 Bryan G. 1 year ago on Google
    They cleaned the dust off the lamps for the menu finally. The mac and cheese quality has gone down the drain and hush puppies too. Rest is still good. When ever I want to go somewhere quiet and have a hot crispy meal, this is the place and I hope I don't have to change that.

  • 5/5 Don K. 1 year ago on Google
    I've loved this restaurant for years. As someone that used to be in the restaurant industry, I know it's hard to keep an old building nice, and they do a great job here. Always clean, friendly staff, hot fresh food. Exactly what you want every time. Don't think I've ever been disappointed here. I've always wondered about the 50's music though. Seems beach or island music (jimmy Buffett, Bob Marley, Kenny Chesney would be more appropriate. In any case, highly recommended. Love it.

  • 5/5 Amanda H. 2 years ago on Google
    Super friendly and quality service. We were in town for a competition and the restaurant was busy, but we had our order within a decent amount of time and the gentleman who prepped it was extremely nice and made sure the whole restaurant could hear their individual order numbers and made sure each order was properly given out! Next time we are in the area, we will definitely be stopping in!

  • 5/5 Anna J. 1 year ago on Google
    We ordered online and the last box of our order was being put in the bag all ready to go right when we walked in. It was a big order so that's great! The food was a yummy grease bomb of delicious. It was consistent with other Long John Silvers in other places. We got a free cake so that's fun.

  • 1/5 Sara R. 1 year ago on Google
    Staff was okay but wait was long as can be. Get our food home and they literally gave us a small handful of fries. My fiancΓ© had to throw his chicken away cause it was pink. The mini corn dogs were dry and tasted like old grease. The burger was okay but really no taste. Overall the worst food experience here ever.
