Delightful Experience at Long John Silver's
I recently tried the $6 Chicken Basket from Long John Silver's, and it was a fantastic meal! The chicken planks were perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The hushpuppies were a delightful addition, and the side dish complemented the meal well. The flavors were amazing, and the portion size was satisfying. I highly recommend trying this dish for a delicious seafood experience.

Long John Silver's Complaints 460
Restaurant closed due to staff not showing up
I ordered from the store in Yukon Ok on October 26 for a pick up at 11:30 and when I went to the restaurant to pick it up I was told that they were not open yet because the crew had not shown up and nothing was opened so my order had not come through yet. This is not a way to run a business. I worked in the fast food industry and even if bo one else shows up I opened the store and worked it myself. I told the manager to cancel the order. I now have a pending charge on my bank account for $18.30. I need to have this reimbursed since we did not receive the order.
Claimed loss: $18.30
Desired outcome: Refund of money due to not being able to receive the order

I was asked to pull around and they would bring it out to me. 25 minutes later I pulled around to window for my order. When I checked my bag, the dessert wasn't in there. I then went in. The employees were standing around talking. They told me all they could say was they were sorry!

I purchased two family meals at 830 last night. The restaurant was open till 930 I believe. I spent $70.96 with you guys and got absolutely garbage.

Hushpuppies? I wa...

Could not believe you still cannot eat inside the store. Staff were very unfriendly when making the order and picking it up at the drive thru. All the food was extra greasy and had lots of breading,...more than normal. The sodas were full of so much ice that after a few sips it was only ice left. The fries were not hot and everything had an off taste like the fry oil needed changed.

Horrible dried-up fish!
Only site in town is 20 miles away. 8/30/2023. Bought 2 8- packs of fish. Cost is $60, and all I received was 16 pieces of hard dried out fish. The hush puppies were so dried out the dog wouldn't eat it. At 5:48pm they ran out of fries. The manager was rude and quarrelsome. The whole dinner was so bad I had to throw it away, and then go out and buy the family super somewhere else. Goodbye LJS you got my last dollar.

Worst service I have ever had
At approx 6:15 pm today I pulled into the drive thru at 29th and douglas in midwest city, ok and waited for about 2 minutes. Nobody answered so I said hello and still no reply.

Tonight we were craving good fish and shrimp and chicken! We remember all the times we have gotten your food and loved it so decided to ignore the last couple times we had serious complaints hoping things were better since it had been a while.
We ordered the Number 5 with cole slaw and corn and hush puppies, the $6 shrimp basket that came with fries and hushpuppies and the chicken and fish platter with fries and corn and hushpuppies.
Mouth watering we started to plow in and was absolutely shocked….. it wasn’t better it WAS Worse!
Not only was it ALL OLD…. the coating on all was hard and tough to even eat! The hushpuppies were absolutely like eating a hard rock as they were old and overcooked and the fries were rubbery! I have pictures if there is a way to share them with you! We spent $32 dollars and change and could barely eat much of it! SHAME ON WHOMEVER IS RUNNING THIS SHOW!
WE ARE AGAIN GREATLY DISAPPOINTED …. doubt we will try this again! Too much money to get food you can’t or would not eat!
The young girl at the window was very sweet and it is sad she wasn’t cooking yet she will prolly hear it was not
good!
Desired outcome: We should get a complete refund AND A BUCKET FULL FREE!!! BUT ONLY IF FRESHLY COOKED!!!
Quality of oil, food and service
We waited over 20 minutes for our food in Salem, OH. When my husband questioned them why so long of a wait, the manager said they only have one fryer for fish. The other food was cold sitting waiting on the fish. The oil was so old it was bitter on the fish and absolutely disgusting. The color of the breading did not like your pictures. The ventilation wa...

Read full review of Long John Silver'sOrdered 3 piece fish more coupon one
The last couple of months I have been ordering at least 1 or 2 times I a week always check my order the day they forgot one piece of fish they also didn’t give me fry fries so I went back and got them but I didn’t notice I only had two fish but I was already was home so I thought I would just tell them they shorted me a fish but they said because I didn’t call or have the receipt that they couldn’t give me my one piece of fish she said she was sorry and I said that if she didn’t give me my extra fish that I would not be a customer any more and I told her you know I am a regular so it’s your loss . They can’t keep help and now I know why if they treat their customers in this manner how are they treating their employees. This happens on Friday in Marion indiana we have only one store. Peggy Holloway [protected]
Desired outcome: I think I deserve a whole meal now
Order was not complete.
Ordered a family meal from store #70221 in Litchfield Illinois. Got home and one of the sides was missing (fries). Cost me almost $40.00. For the price I expect everything to be there. Also there was black burnt pieces all over the fish and chicken. There was no one else in the restaurant and only 2 at the drive up so it wasn't like they were swamped.
Desired outcome: coupon for replacement family side fries at least
No fries
I went to the Long John Silver's and Taco Bell restaurant and they had no fries for their Long John Silver's dinners so we had to substitute for something else. I was not very happy alot of customers left the restaurant when they found out that they did not have any fries. I think that the store $ is 022428. How could they run out of fries? Order number 250. Date 03*25*2023, time 12:13:01PM and order number 212860.

Store Hours
Wow. I'm looking at the number of complaints around the country about the Long John Silver experience, and all I can say is this restaurant should be closed.
Anyway back to my complaint. Not that anyone REALLY cares.
On October 18, 2022 I went to LJS in San Marcos California. It was at 9:45pm.
I was excited because I made it before they closed at 10pm. It was a KFC also.
I gave them my order and was told "Sorry but we closed them down early". I said "What? It closes at 10". The lady said "Yeah...we decided to close them early."
How can they just close LJS when they feel like it? There are store hours for a reason. The manager Lucy, didn't respond to anything I said as if she were deaf.
I'm not even sure whether I am waiting my time complaining to company that doesn't are about the people that made them a sucess. The customer service is horrible at every store. What happened that made you stop caring?
