What User likes about Long John Silver's:
The staff at the 2nd Street location was extremely friendly and helpful. The food was delicious, especially the fish which tasted like it had been fried in fresh oil. However, I now avoid the other location on Parrish Avenue near my home because I always seem to end up paying full price for food that tastes like it was cooked in old or burnt oil. This experience almost deterred me from enjoying LJS, which I typically... View all feedback. What User doesn't like about Long John Silver's:
The woman working at the restaurant touched the ice with her bare hands, which is unacceptable for food safety standards. The food I received was not to my liking and did not agree with my stomach. I would have given a 0 rating, but gave 1 star out of obligation. The portion size was small and overpriced at $14. Overall, it was a disappointing dining experience and I would not recommend this place to anyone. View all feedback.

The meal was exceptional and they even gave us an extra piece of chicken because the original piece was small.

I hope this was just a one-time occurrence, but the fish and green beans I had at this Long John Silver's location were some of the worst I've ever experienced....

Must be a shortage on Cole slaw for the fish tacos. ?

In a mixed bag of experiences at this seafood restaurant chain, service quality varied significantly. While some locations showcased friendly staff and attentive service, food consistency was lacking. Several diners reported issues with food safety practices, such as handling ice improperly, and a range of dissatisfaction with portion sizes and flavor. Notably, some enjoyed freshly fried dishes, like grilled shrimp and hush puppies, while others faced disappointments due to cold or poorly prepared items. Despite the ups and downs, many patrons appreciated the welcoming environment and helpful employees, highlighting the importance of staff demeanor in shaping their overall experience.
