After a busy day of furniture shopping with my sister, we were starving! I wanted seafood, so my sister says as a joke, there's a LJS near by. I hadn't been to LJS in YEARS, so, her joke paid off. All we had to do was cross the freeway and we were there. It looked like they took pretty good care of the restaurant because it was pretty clean. Sometimes when I go to fast food, it seems like all the tables are dirty. The lady that took our order was super friendly. She suggested that we download the app because they had some good specials going on. It did save us a little bit of money. We both ordered the chicken, fish and shrimp and a Dr. Pepper. We ate there... all the tables already had hot sauce and the malt vinegar on them, so that was nice. They even brought our platters to the table. The food was hot and fresh. It was good, I mean, it was LJS. It wasn't a star dinning, but for LJS, it was better than some I've been to in the past. They also loaded up our platters with crunchies. Who doesn't like extra crunchies? All and all, it was a much better experience than I thought to would have been, and if I'm ever on that side of town again, I may just have to stop by again. read more

Long John Silver's | A&W - Fish, Chicken & Shrimp Platter - Seafood Near Me - Houston, Texas

Well, right now I cannot speak about the food, but I can speak about the service. IT SUCKED. I waited 2 1/2 minutes with no one else at the front counter then was spoken to by someone putting stuff together, I asked for a water cup for the meal I ordered and was told that the little plastic cup "cost them" $3 each. What are they telling the people that work here? There were other seated that were still waiting on their food at the same time and at the time I'm typing this. Still no food. It's hot in the restaurant, I guess no air? I mean it's summer in Houston. read more

If you need your fish and chips fix, with a side of hush puppies, this is the place to go. Of course I saw they had grilled shrimp, so I went with that. It was ok, but nothing special. I also tried their pumpkin pie milkshake, it was gross, I would stay away from this. Mistakes were made! So next time I'm going get the fish and chips like a responsible adult. read more

Long John Silver's | A&W - 6 piece grilled shrimp combo - Seafood Near Me - Houston, Texas

Food is so , we ordered the seafood super sampler and a side of fries and coleslaw, I write so many reviews about restaurants and this is by far the best long john silvers, would be coming back. read more

It's the last Long Johns in Houston. And I can see/taste why.... Service was fine. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Staff is efficient and friendly. The fish and shrimp were hot and fresh, cooked just after I ordered it. It is as tasty as I remembered it being from my childhood. And the new soft drink dispenser has Diet Dr. Pepper!! I rang the bell on my way out, causing much delight to the staff as evidenced by a chorus of "Thank you!" read more

Long John Silver's | A&W - Seafood Near Me - Houston, Texas

Very disappointing, oil needs to be changed. Never had food so greasy here before. Perhaps the temperature of the oil needs to reach proper temperature before frying. Much troublshooting needed. read more

Everything is SO good here! Reminds me of English fish and chips I hate so many have closed by me. read more

Sorry about this review- But it's sad AF when you like a restaurant and you start to see it dwindle & dwindle until it's gone. This is the case with LJS as there's only like 4 stores left within the Houston metro area. And you come to patron their establishment and it's just a ghetto ass restaurant none the less and after reading all the reviews especially about the manager and her attitude, I mean she's literally blaming everything on her staff and not to mention she's effing rude. And yet she still working here while customers are being turned off and won't come back. I ate here the food was good, yea it's greasy but that's what we always liked about it. Everybody that comes knows the food is greasy and it's a greasy guilty pleasure. Do better, be better, and most of all HIRE better LJS. read more

Not sure how many people read reviews for fast food joints on yelp, but I'll give it a try. I order from this location all the time. My wife will at times pick some up and bring me lunch. When I tell her I want Long John's, she always replies that she hates ordering from there because the ladies are rude. Well I haven't had it in a couple of weeks and was craving it bad. So, drove 30 mins out of my way to get some on my day off last week. Arrive and immediately the tattooed woman behind the counter approached us with attitude. Without looking at us, she asked for here or to go? I couldn't hear so well so I didn't even realize she was talking to me. Then she turned her head with attitude and asked again in a firm tone with attitude. I told her that I wanted the 5 piece fish and chicken combo but wanted all chicken. It's how they've recommended doing it in the past since I only like the chicken. Immediately the woman big nods her head no before I could finish telling her what I wanted. I said, that's how they told me to order it. She said too many people are ordering that way and they're not gonna allow it. You're gonna have to order the 3 piece and add two pieces to it. I asked how much that was and she replied with attitude, look at the menu the prices are up there. When I told her that's it way more expensive that way, she replied, of course, that's why they want you to order it that way. By this time I'm pissed with this woman's attitude problem and lack of any customer service. I tell my wife, let's go. This bitch is being rude. Then the woman came out from behind the counter with her arms open like she was ready for a fist fight yelling, I'm not rude. I know greenspoint is a rough area but the staff doesn't have to be that way too. Walking out, my wife said that that woman is the nicest of all of the employees that work there. That means the others are even more getto than this one. Needless to say, I still lost out in this situation cause now I gotta wait on her to get canned or quit before I can order there again unless I want to get any extra "secret sauce" in my food. I made a stink about it to Long John's corporate, telling them I wanted to speak to a person about this. They made me complete a survey then sent a $5 coupon to my email. You would think a company on the brink of collapse would value some feedback from someone who purchases from them often. There's only a handful left here in town and at this rate there won't be any left at all very soon. Going to another location didn't help either. Drove up to the Long John's in Spring the next day. Staff was friendly, but I got ass raped on the price. But that's a story for another review one day. read more

Long John Silver's | A&W - Love the taste of this trash. - Seafood Near Me - Houston, Texas

It's LJS! The crunchies, the hushpuppies, the fries, chicken, and fish! Memories of childhood,

I love Long John Silvers, but this store is horrible..... I have never gotten what I ordered. A month ago I ordered fish with chicken and shrimp and clam strips with malted vinegar. No clam strips no shrimp and no vinegar. I thought I would give them another chance today and ordered 3 fish 3 chicken with clam strips and cole slaw.....with malted vinegar.... I got 1 piece of fish 1 piece of chicken with clam strips.....no vinegar.... there is no hope for them.....I'm done...I will NEVER order from them again.... I suggest you don't order from them either..... A great product managed badly..... read more

Went here to try the infamous long John silvers, to see if it really is the worst, it's not. The food was okay, 4/10 on taste and flavor but 9/10 on crispness. Fish was better quality than expected. However there was a tattooed lady/old man (cannot tell) that was just rude, like damn normally is someone is rude in a restaurant I normally don't care, however this person was harsh and rude at the same time like a witch. Some people hate their jobs but I can tell the fish oils seeped into her/his brain and genetically destroyed it on a DNA level. I can actually tell she's the manager since she's bossing everyone in the back and had this goofy shirt. The two stars was just for the crispness. There another lady with glasses who was very nice though. Would come back again if the tattooed imbecile got fired though long John silvers probably has $10 left in their reserve and that's why the gremlin is still here. read more

Long John Silver's | A&W - Food. - Seafood Near Me - Houston, Texas

I love the fish planks dinner with the crispy in the bottom. Paired with an all slush root beer you can't go wrong. Service was fairly fast and there's a free jukebox! Lots of oldies loaded on the jukebox which adds to the nostalgia. read more

Read my review Get better seafood (cod fish) and don't overcook serve bigger filets read more

The food was greasy and over cooked. It was my first time trying but II would not return. It was simply not good.

I thought I would be the only person in there since so many are closed around Houston but it was actually popping , I went for nostalgia food was a 7.5/10 not bad read more

I wish I could give 0 stars! This was a waste of my moneyyyy. I paid 50.00 for a mess! The staff were so slow and not friendly the food was horrible. Too hard crumbs everywhere! Food looked dry fries over greased! Best part was the Cole slaw and I hate coleslaw ! This was my first experience eating long John silvers and my last! This was horrible! read more

This location is the closest LJS to me and I usually stop by when coming back from Houston. First time ever I've been to a LJS and they were out of COD...‍. Didn't know there was a cod shortage. Got the "fish" version, but it wasn't that classic LJS taste that I was going for. Tried the crab bites but they were a hassle to get out of their packaging (what a pain!). Please start carrying packets of mayonnaise- ketchup is not the only sauce for fries (IYKYK). This place doubles as an A&W Root Beer store and it would be great if they offered the Root Beer Zero ...lady at drive-thru window was friendly enough. read more

This is my favorite LJS in the city! The food is always hot & fresh, the staff is nice & a lot of regulars seem to come by. The restaurant is always clean & the customer service is great! read more

Today was my first time stopping here. So far kinda disappointed that there was NO root beer. Like what?! There is literally a bunch of signs for their freshly made root beer everywhere!! And they dont have any?!!! Smh... So far the dr pepper is good and fresh. I just tried the chili cheese dog and it was pretty good.. sausage tasted a bit smoked but still good. So far i'll give it a 4 stars because of the no root beer! :/ Hopefully next time I come there will be some. It's 12:31 pm. there should have been some. read more

Why is there only one Long John Silver's in Houston? LJS's has the Best Fish Ever, and the sides that you can order to go with that fish are excellent, as well! We want more LjS's in Houston, Jersey Village, Katy, Cypress...everywhere! Get it done, LJS's Ownership! read more

I was craving Long John Silver so I stop by. Worse mistake ever the food was salty. my shirt were not cooked nor was the hush puppies. I will never return again $12 in the trash. read more

I ordered through DoorDash from this particular restaurant Long John Silver's West Road at 45 and I must say never again. Food presence to me, You know how you present the food. Well, it seemed like everything was just thrown in the box. It was an ugly sight to say the least. So that just threw my whole dinner off. the food was greasy as usual. I don't know the box was just in disarray and it just messed up the whole meal. didn't get the condiments I asked for either. read more

This horrid place doubles as a Long John Silver's and an A&W Root Beer Shop. It fails miserably in both categories! It's filthy inside. The service is so bad that no service at all would be an improvement. I first took my son there to introduce him to the joys of root beer floats. Unfortunately, despite the big "A&W Root Beer" sign, they didn't have any root beer on hand that day. Recently, on the way home from a baseball game, we stopped by to give them another chance on root beer floats. This time they had root beer but there were almost no places to sit despite that the place was nearly empty. (See the attached photos.) You don't want to go here! read more

terrible service we were replacing our orders and the dude growled, cause he didn't wanna make the order.

Imagine hiring degenerates with probably a long rap sheet to work customer service and in food service. Shocker? Nope not at all. Food hit the spot and that's all the matters. Customer service is rough around the edges but the food delivered. Interior is pretty clean for the most part read more

The food has not changed in 40 years. This location is paired with an A&W Burger joint which is apropos since that brand has been around for 100 years as well! I crave the fish and chips once in a while and am glad to have this location available. Tables were clean and food was fresh. Thanks!!! read more

Long John Silver's | A&W - L4 - Seafood Near Me - Houston, Texas

I was in the mood for LJS fish and this place hit the spot. Food wise it was as I was expecting. Classic LJS battered fish, chicken, and shrimp was what I ordered. It was served hot and without delay. Location was clean and tidy. Exactly what I was hoping for. read more

I was impressed by the cleanest of this location because I never wanted to go inside because it's always a bunch of ppl asking for money however I didn't see none of them on the day I their customer service was ok we got our order to go & condiment were in the bag & napkins restroom were clean & lobby was nice read more

The food brought out up from a 1 star. The food was maybe 3 star. There was a machine on the counter, maybe ice cream or something? It was running through a cycle that made it impossible to hear. I measured the sound level at my table at 81db. That's like stressful on the street in rush hour. The cashier was moping the floor and asked me a question a son as I walked in. I couldn't hear her over the machine. I came up closer as she went around the counter.i asked her what she said and she seemed angry with me. She then said, "so it's to go then?" I told her my order. Multiple times during exchange she appeared to be mad at me right down to yanking the receipt of the register. Machine turned on and off multiple times while I dined. At one point someone in the back of the store shouted that she needed help. An employee that has been resting in the dining area for up and slowly went to the back. There were a couple of times that the employees got heated in the back just short of yelling at each other. The seating in the dining room has very few movable seats so I had a hard time getting comfortable. Dining area side machine was broken. I believe workers are overworked and that coupled with this extremely loud noise coming in all the time has put them in a foul mood. Management needs to step up and fix the machines and make sure the employees have enough coverage that they are not overwhelmed. read more

This was one of the worst experiences I had. We waited in the DRIVE THROUGH for 30 minutes, finally paid for our food and they said that it'll take another 3 minutes for the food to be ready and if we could pull up to the front. 10 minutes later, nobody came out so my brother went inside to ask where our food was, he comes back with a drink and a Hershey pie, and explained that they said they will come out with the food. Waited another 10 minutes and my sister got fed up, went in and asked where the food was and it was sitting on the counter THE WHOLE TIME. Nobody brought it to us. It was our first time coming to long John silver since we live an hour away in the south side. Never again will I come here. read more

There was no service I came into to restaurant wanting a meal and I waited 10 mins no one was at the register. The funny part is I was the only customer in the restaurant no one else. Do not go here they well never take your order. read more

Horrible, slow customer service. It's such a shame. I started working here way back when it first opened and business was outstanding and the food was great. Now, it is dirty and has terrible customer service. It's a shame because I know the food has the potential to be great. Of it isn't going to be ran right, then it should just be out out of its misery. It's a shame seeing such a great, out if the norm fast food chain be so poorly ran. read more

This has been the worst experience ever... the service was terrible, 23 minutes to get food and while we stood at counter one girl with long braids kept fixing her hair and than sneezed in the kitchen where food was served.the 2 guys where fixing plates and complaining about whos job was whos, i watched them grab food with their hands no gloves, and they also scratched themselves and continued to fix plates...made me sick to my stomach... the booths where dirty... also the entire store... we left and didn't eat... I'm so sick from seeing the nastiness we will never go in this place again... if owners and employees don't care could you imagine the way it looks in back or bathrooms... stay away!!!!!!!] read more

Wish I could give zero stars. As a black man myself I hate to do this to my own but The African American lady taking orders at the drive thru window was extremely unprofessional, had extremely poor customer service, she didn't even know the menu to ask if I wanted to single or double A2. She told me the A2 is double only, completely unaware there is two options, and when I told her which one proportion I wanted she spoke over me saying I know sir I already got you. This locations technology is extremely outdated they have a sign saying stay behind the white drive thru line, which there isn't one. When I passed the same lady yells over the intercom for me to back up. I look down for the line and it's yellow spray paint. Worse lunch break ever.. money can be spent anywhere and my experience, just killed my appetite read more

The restaurant is supposed to open at 10:30AM yet there is no one in sight. I bet the ownership is wondering why the McDonalds next door, the Chick-fil-A, and the Cane's; on the same road is doing SO MUCH better. read more

The service was incredibly slow, and when we went up to the window, they said they ran out of all A&W! Drinks, food, everything. It was an awful experience and waste of precious. I'd recommend going to any fast food restaurant that isn't this one. read more

To start, the drive way in was dangerous and had pot holes, we walk in not to bad it's a cute little old time diner look, I liked it. The customer service, horrible.... kept getting a out order wrong but said we were complicated. Moving on go to drink station, the tea was empty and they didn't have any in back, I tried the unsweetened tea and it tasted old and gross like it was hot, cold, hot, cold. Where you set the drink down to put lids on we're tiny little black bugs crawling everywhere! The seats at every table was torn and taped or not taped, food in between booth seats, food and spilt ketchup on floor, the wait was almost 20 minutes. They did nothing about bugs, but still sat and ate for the review. The food overall was good, I got the corn dog nuggets and fries. Tasty. The bacon burger, the bottom bun was so flat I thought there wasn't one, there was so many veggies I couldn't see patty, and it was the saltiest food I have ever had. The shrimp was good and fluffy. The cocktail sauce was super sweet and had a unpleasant taste. read more

This is my guilty pleasure review. I don't eat a lot of fast food, but if this place were located inside the loop--how hilarious would that be--then you may bust me on more than one occasion, at the drive-thru, taking care of my fish and chips jones. I also like the lobster bites (though I am highly skeptical that the actual ingredients have anything to do with lobster--distant related cousin is more like it). The fries are mediocre, but if eaten fresh and piping hot with your piece of battered cod, it's all good. They are trying to appeal to a more health-conscious clientele with their Freshside Grille menu: grilled tilapia, grilled Pacific salmon, shrimp scampi, and Whoa?! a vegetable medley. I doubt I will be trying any of these, since my instinct is they may resemble a re-heated frozen dinner. If I'm going to be bad, then I'm going all the way. read more
