Long John Silver's coleslaw, rice, tartar sauce

Friday, July 27, 7:10 p.m., Scranton-Carbondale Hwy store in Dickson City, PA
Ordered an 8-piece family meal of all fish (wish I had saved the receipt to give you better feedback, but I tossed it when I got my food.
Our order was$18.01 if that helps.

Family size cole slaw had almost no mayonnaise in it. It was more like cut cabbage. No one ate it.

Rice was undercooked. Crunchy and dry.

And about your packets of tartar sauce... I realize it had been a while since I got take out, but no pickle in the sauce? I know it says on the oacjket there is pickle in there, but the "tartar sauce" doesn't resemble real tartar sauce, and it is very runny.

Disappointing.

Thanks for listening.

Long John Silver's all the food and customer service

My husband and I went in to eat here in las vegas at 5930 centennial cent blvd. We go two l5 and two drinks. 23 bucks for junk: the chicken was so nasty! Extremely tough, the fries were disgusting, fountain drinks were all bad. The workers would not fix the food and said there wasn't anything wrong with the drinks. Told them we would be submitting a complaint, and they laughed and said right, like that's going to work. I will never eat at this place a again. Store was disgusting as well. And I will expect a damn refund!

Long John Silver's received wrong order

Ordered sampler got charged for it. Received completely wrong order. Manager refused to give me my money back even though I brought food back. Also I had my receipt. Ticket #. 4321 date was 07/22/2018 at 6:30 pm. Restaurant #0212025 or d212025. Ask the manager to call his district manager he refused. He took the food I gave back and threw it in the garbage. Refused to give it back after I told him I called the police. Also I tried to call them on the date of purchase by using the number on the receipt and noneone answered tried to call three times. Also the manager laughed in my face when I told him I wanted a refund at this point. Most horrible experience I have ever had at this food chain. I won't be eating here again. I'm leaving a review because people need to know how this restaurant is treating people.

Long John Silver's service/food

I went to the location in Oklahoma city on western and it was the worst experience u ever imagined. The manager acts like ghetto towards customers. She has no professionalism to her demeaner! The fish was burnt and all I asked for was some fresh fish that didnt taste like burnt old fish and was told its suppose to look like that and I guess taste like that too. It was brown not golden but pitch brown. It was completely disgusting. The manager refused to replace it and said she only give me a portion of my $ back because I ate 3 shrimps from the whole entire platter that has 2 sides, fish, shrimp, and hush puppies. I asked the lady for a name and she refused to give me a name and said she was the manager but still wouldnt give a name I took a pic of both my receipts. I really wished I video how she acted and the fish too because it would be on social media everywhere but I did post my experience and I'm not the only one this has happened to either.

Long John Silver's food and service.

So first of all I called the phone number on the bottom of the receipt. No answer so left message. No one returned call. The guy at the window Brandon U. Not only was rude and tossed the bag out the window and said nothing but I ordered the three piece chicken dinner. I found out when I got home I had two pieces and no come slaw. The food shortage I can deal with but his horrible attitude maybe because it was 9:20 at night but I will never go to that location again. He was very rude.

Long John Silver's staff

7/16/18, at 11:30am, at the New Philadelphia, Ohio store: Your staff member, Michelle, handling food, drink cups, etc, with at least four incisions on her right hand, knuckles, back of hand...multiple sutures exposed. No bandages, no gloves, no [censored]s given. "They don't hurt as much as they did." Absolutely disgusting. I am certain there must be a code regulation for this.

Long John Silver's establishment cleanliness

I would give a zero but I want it to register. We drove 33 minutes to get to this place the outside looked terrible run down. I figured maybe its the weather damage. Upon going in I noticed filty floors, the stinch of urine from the restrooms at the entry point was so devistating I couldn't stop sneezing. One employee visable at the counter! I was so taken back as a long time customer pver 28 years I just left disappointed in fearof getting sick from the dirty establishment. There were 2 families eating in there smh. I took my family of five and left ready to report this to osha me being a dhhs vendor. Wasted my time and gas all the way from manassas. I hope you [censored] this one down and rebuild before the government does osha.. I took a loss bit didn't get sick..

Long John Silver's store in duncan, oklahoma

I haven't eaten at this store in at least 8 months and with good reason. Read Duncan Sound off Raw on Facebook, July 14, 2018. Roaches, flies, greasy food, rude employees, rude uncaring management and overall...this store should be condemned. LJS used to have a " quality, customers-first" reputation and exceptionally good sea-food menu. Now?...please intervene!

Long John Silver's cleanliness

Wife and I have been going to the store in Claremore Oklahoma for several years. We were in there about 1130 on a weekday last week the floors didn't look like they had been clean from the previous day and there wasn't but maybe three or four tables that had been wiped off of unused . It has been like this the last couple of years we've been going in there and not getting any better . We like the food ok but we may start going elsewhere.

Long John Silver's dirty restaurant, poor quality food

Taco-bell/ljs 002643 parker co
Ordered l2 platter, hush puppies and coleslaw were good. Fries were room temp at best. Fish was dry and crunchy all the way through. Chicken was eatable.

Restaurant was very dirty, had to wipe down my table. Two other eat in groups were in restaurant went I arrived. Drive through had a few cars in line. Six staff looked busy but had time to come to the front to talk with off shift employee about their plans tonight. Garbage was full. Self serve area was not stocked, I had to ask for utensils from cashier.

This was my second bad meal from this location, I will not return.

Long John Silver's service and hygiene

July 3 2018 went to ljs on ridge rd cincinnati ohio... Drive thru guy took order seemed efficient... Guy ahead of me was asked to pull up and so was i, the 1st guy got his food. Another customer came out of the store and said he had asked for his money back. The place was disgustingly dirty. None of the staff had gloves on.
The first guy who was asked to pull up got his food and left. I decided to go inside and also was disgusted by the way the place looked several employees hanging out no other customer at the counter and no one acknowledged me. Finally someone came up to me and I asked for my money back. The guy said your food was coming out but after seeing the place and no employee wearing gloves I was shocked it just all turned my stomach. I should have been more adamant about getting my money back but I didn't want to get angrier than I was... I took the food and left. When I got home I threw away $20.00 worth of food. Never again my next trip will be to captain d's... Never liked them as much as you guys. It's a shame...
The receipt number was 1072 @ 6:31pm... Store #31162...7/3/2018 there was another number on the receipt [protected]

Long John Silver's the entire store is disgusting!

I worked at the Long John Silver's at 105 N. Expressway in Griffin Ga for only a few days. I left when I realized the capacity of their problems. The store is nasty, infested with cockroaches. They do not enforce any kind of cleanliness policies, (I was told there was no need to wash my hands that often), I witnessed the manager scooping rice for a customer, she dropped the spoon on the floor, picked it up and continued to scoop green beans with it! She didn't rinse or wash the utensil which is just gross and using the same utensils for multiple products is cross contamination. I thought maybe she didn't realize, maybe she was tired or something so I asked her not to serve that to the customer at the drive thru window, she asked me why not and I told her what I saw. She said "the floor is not that dirty and it's just food from the same kitchen and not raw". This is unacceptable behavior.
The roach infestation: I noticed it in the bathroom when I was cleaning, and the sewer smell in the men's room is just rancid and horrible. I told the manager on duty she said she knew. When I was sent to get some shrimp to be fried, I realized that the walk in cooler is not at the safe zone temps and there are roaches living on the raw food as well.
The only resolution I want is for this place to get cleaned up or shut down. Its a community health hazard.
