Pros: affordable seafood
Cons: awful commercials
Yes, that is exactly what this restaurant is about, although that wasn't quite what the commercial meant. I have been most disappointed with Long John Silver's recent commercials. They do nothing for the restaurant. Fortunately, our family became fan of...

The Long Arm of Long John Silvers

by sparklingsmile , Dec 06 '00
Pros: good food for the money
Cons: a little greasy
Every now and then I have a craving for Long John Silvers. I don't know if it is the greasy fish, the extra dry hush puppies, the runny coleslaw.
There is something about it that I crave and I havent been able to figure it out.

Cons: Grease, not local
When I lived in Ohio, Long John Silver's was a pretty usual place to go eat. I never thought that moving 12 hours north would change that. We in Northern Michigan have no Long John Silver's! We have to travel at least 3 hours before we can even...

The signs claim it's shrimp. Or fish. Or clams. Seafood, right? Hmm ... I suppose it's possible. There might be a speck of shrimp in there somewhere. Let me tear away layer upon layer of deep-fat-fried batter to find out.

Not my first choice

by blusavana , May 11 '00
Pros: inexpensive seafood option
Cons: undertrained workers, boring food
Long John Silver's serves boring seafood. Nothing has much individual taste to it, and I find myself relying on too much tartar sauce and ketchup. Whenever we get any food from LJS, I pick at things but don't relish it like I do when eating Captain D's....

Long Johns Has gone down the tubes
by lennygrt ,Nov 17 '08
Pros: They did not argue about refunding my money.
Cons: Unfit and unsafe place to eat,  needs major changes or just close it down.
When Long Johns started out, they had wonderful fish and generous servings for the money.   Thought I would try it again last night.   Went to one on West Colfax in Lakewood, Colorado and it was so deplorable I had to ask for money back and go elsewhere.    Specific complaints: 
Condoment area was very dirty and had not been cleaned for some time. Napkin holders all empty.    Wife ordered their salmon dinner, only to find they had no forks to eat it with.   The whole place lacked any sense of cleanliness.   Kid from kitchen looked around but could not find any of the cheap plastic utensils that they usually furnish.   I could not envision eating the salmon and rice with fingers so finally just asked for money back and left.    Only thing good about the whole experience was they did not argue about the refund.   This place needs some serious new management, or just close it down.    Will also contact our city health department.

I went to Long John Silver's a few days ago. The service was atrocious. I stood in front of the cash register for six minutes and no one took my order. When I finally ordered, they gave me fish instead of chicken, and refused to exchange it. It is also very greasy food.

It's not sooo bad.
by cleahy77 ,Jan 31 '09
Pros: Variety, Always hot and reasonably priced
Cons: None
 Even though they are mainly a seafood place, I love their chicken. So does my young son, he would rather have LJS chicken then McDonalds chicken nuggets. LJS chicken is hot, juicy and has no "hard bits" as my son calls them. Hey at least it looks like chicken compared to other places.
And to all those that say it's not clean, what do expect it's a fast food joint. In my teenage yrs I worked for a few fast food places and a few restraunts. None were that clean. If you want clean,cook in your own kitchen.
