This is the 2nd time I have gone to the location on 42nd in Odessa, Tx and they are NOT up & running at 11am. The sign said open at 10:30. The last time I called the district Mgr Ben out of San Angelo, Tx & filed a complaint. Nothing seems to have changed because I went again today at 11:00 and when I finally got someone to come to the window they told me...

I ordered a 16 piece family meal chicken plank it came with four sides which was to be coleslaw corn french fries and extra hush puppies first off we had to wait about 20 minutes for them to bring out our food to us cuz they were cooking it fresh when we got it the chicken was like rubber we could not eat it and the hush puppies were crunchy we couldn't eat them, and that was after us overlooking the very rudeness of the lady taking our order with my wife who is a cancer patient and cannot speak my name is Wendy Andrews it was your East Washington Street store their phone number is [protected] which they do not answer cuz I've called about 20 times I need someone to give me a call back [protected]

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.

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...

Long John Silver's Ordered 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.

Desired outcome: I think I deserve a whole meal now

Long John Silver's 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

Long John Silver's 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.

Long John Silver's 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?

Long John Silver's I’m complaining about the restaurant don’t put a sign and they don’t care the accident.

I’m Complaining the Long John Silvers Located @ 2885 28th St. SE Grand Rapids MI

Phone# [protected]

I was there with my friend hoping to enjoy our Lunch @ the lobby. Last September 24,2022. When I trying to Open the door is lock but the Drive Thru was Open that’s why we expected the lobby is Open too. No “SIGN” for “Close” or a “SIGN say “DRIVE THRU ONLY” and most upsetting is the People WORKING there it same they don’t care. When I’m asking for medicine and they just give me 3bandage and they just laughed what happened to me. I enclosing the pictures.

Long John Silver's restaurant manager

My husband and I stopped in at your restaurant located at 1316 Volunteer pkwy. Bristol, Tenn. on 09/21/22 @ 1:29 pm. There were no other customers in the restaurant.After this lady took our order she told us the total , I was shocked at how expensive it was and said so.She was apparently offended even tho I used no profane language nor was I mean about it in any way.She snapped at me " have you been to the grocery store , or bought gas or been to Walmart ? " "that's what you are gonna find wherever you go !" I was as shocked by her reaction as I was by your prices .She was very curt and rude. She didn't bother to give us the whole receipt, just the little charge slip that showed my husband paid. I used to manage one of your Florida shoppes on Military Trail in West Palm Beach, that would make this one look like a mall store and I would never allow my employees to speak to a customer in that manner.We were constantly busy and had excellent food quality as well as some of the most polite employees of any shoppe in Florida. I know how rude and demanding people can be and I would never treat anyone that way. She needs to go back to customer service training.

Desired outcome: Send this lady back to customer service training. I would like an apology.

Long John Silver's Gift Cards

Yesterday (9/08/22) at approximately 6:30 PM I drove thru the Portsmouth, Ohio Long John Silvers. I ordered a #8 which is a shrimp dinner. It was almost a half of an hour to get to the window. They wouldn't accept gift cards which I have two of them, due to new management. I have always used them at this location in the past. This stinks since I might be stuck with two cards.

Desired outcome: Long John Silvers Buy back my cards.

Long John Silver's Two piece fish meal

Today (7/31/22) at approximately 12:45 PM I drove thru the Gallipolis, Ohio Long John Silvers. I ordered a 2 piece fish meal with french fries and sweet tea. I also ordered a dozen hushpuppies.

I am unhappy to report that only the hushpuppies were fresh and delicious. The fish was hard and dried out and looked like it had been reheated in oil. The french fries looked like they were made yesterday. The tea tasted mostly like water.

Normally I get good food at this restaurant. With prices as high as they are, it was disappointing to receive food that was unacceptable.

Desired outcome: I would like a coupon for a couple of pieces of freshly fried fish and fresh crispy fries. I would also like a cup of iced tea like I received there a few days ago - it was delicious.
