    Long John Silver's Alaskan Pollock  sandwich. Scored 41 out of 50. Good fish, good sauce, crispy breading if a bit oily. Rate it a B

    I dropped in at Long John Silver's on El Paseo for lunch and I must say that this restaurant gets a rating of about two and three quarter stars (2 3/4) primarily because their sides were so poor. The restaurant is an order at the counter fast food type of place. You pick your food up at the counter when called. It won't take long...about 8 or 10 minutes. The restaurant is reasonably comfortable for dining, it is clean, and roomy enough between tables. I found the service at the counter pleasant and efficient. Today I sampled a variety of food. Ordered the fish and shrimp platter with two sides. Also ordered a crab cake to check that out. Prices were reasonable. The fish (Atlantic Cod) had a light crispy batter and it was not oily. It could have had more flavor and the fish was not as flakey as one would like but it was fairly good. Rate the fish about a "B." The shrimp also has the nice light batter. The shrimp were on the smallish side but in flavor they were ok. Rate them a "B-." At the counter you serve yourself to a shrimp cocktail sauce and a tarter sauce for the fish. The shrimp cocktail sauce was not good. It had no horseradish kick and no noticeable flavor. Rate it a "C-." The tarter sauce had absolutely no flavor. Rate it a "C-" or perhaps a "D." The waffle fries were fair as waffle fries go. Not great but ok. Rate them a "B." The crab cake had the same crispy batter but it had no crab meat flavor whatsoever. It was somewhat dry. Not good. Rate it a "C-" or perhaps a "D." The hushpuppies were terrible, dry and flavorless. Rate them a big fat "D." The little cheese bites were the worst of the lot, dry and chewy, and flavorless. Virtually inedible. Rate them an "F." If you go to Long John's stay with the fish and shrimp and choose sides that are not fried. With so many "c" and "d-" foods served this day and fish and shrimp sauces so mediocre I cannot rate this Long John's any higher than two and three quarter stars...below average even for fast food. At the end of the day there was nothing served here that would qualify as excellent or even "really" good!

    We haven't eaten at LJS in a very long time since they closed down all the Arizona ones. We were passing thru and I jokingly said I wish there was one in cruces. Low and behold there is. Not the best neighborhood but the building and inside looked brand new. The staff working yesterday were very busy but the orders moved along quickly. My first bite of shrimp was heaven!! I then remembered why we loved LJS. We had eaten at red lobster the night before and the shrimp at Long John's tasted way better!! They checked on us a few times making sure everything was ok while they were cleaning tables. Only down side was they were out of ketchup till Wednesday. I understand running out on a long weekend but the grocery store is close by. Anyways I'm sure we'll stop in again now that I know it's there!!

    Food was great, fresh and tasty staff was helpful and friendly. Restaurant was clean but table was very sticky was the only bad thing.

    This location never disappoints! In El Paso, we don't live close to any locations so whenever we visit Las Cruces, we always stop by for some food! This time around we decided to eat inside and everything was fantastic! The young man at the cashier was very nice and helpful! Our food was brought out in a good time and everything tasted great! Will definitely be back next time we are in Las Cruces!

    So... They drive thru speaker is so bad you can't hear the person inside very well. I know this as I get a meal every few weeks for my mother. Today, I walked in and was surprised by the clean and bright well kept seating area. I ordered a Fish and Shrimp combo and paid $8.69 with a drink and one side. I looked online later and the same meal is $5.99, not $8.69. I tried several times to phone the manager and they too busy to answer the phone. What's wrong with businesses today? Where is the customer service of answering the phone. It's not noon time rush or even dinner. It's 4:00 pm. Not going back and I intend to tell everyone what a rip-off they are. Tony R

    After six years I decided to give Chick-fil-A another try even though I am not excited about their…read morelimited menu. But, I was intrigued with their new Jalapeno Ranch Club Sandwich which has been getting some very good reviews lately. What I discovered on my 2026 visit was that much of my prior review has passed the test of time. Much of that earlier evaluation still stands. The Chick-fil-A restaurant on University Ave impresses from the orderly state of the rear drive up and parking area to the well lighted, bright, clean, and open interior. Inside this is a comfortable place to dine and it also features a nice, covered outdoor patio. It is indeed a wonder that so many people still use the drive up window. You order at the counter and they hand you your beverage glass already filled. You find a table and they bring the food out to your table. Prices are reasonable but the menu is limited. The service is always quick and most pleasant. Most of the negative reviews on Yelp seem to concern the drive up take out window service. I cannot comment on that as I've never ordered that way. But, there always seems to be a long line at the Chick-fil-A drive up windows so many folks must be satisfied with that service despite the horror stories found on Yelp. Today I ordered their new Jalapeno Ranch Club chicken sandwich with their waffle fries, and their new Strawberry Hibiscus Sprite drink (oh, what the heck, try something different.) The drink I did not care for: the flavor was not only a bit weak but a little weird. I am not a fan. Give the drink a "C." I would not order it again. As revealed in my earlier review I am not a fan of their waffle fries. I once again found them lacking crispness and seasoning and being chewy and soft and lacking flavor on the inside. Lacking good sides is, for me, a real negative for Chick-fil-A. It is, along with such a restrictive menu, what keeps me away. Rate the waffle fries a "C-." They needed a lot of salt! On the other hand the chicken sandwich was very good. A large lightly breaded chicken breast was enclosed by a high quality flavorful bun. The jalapeno ranch sauce came in several little packets. This sauce was creamy and tasty with a little kick. I added a lot to the sandwich which included leaf lettuce, tomato, pepper jack cheese, jalapenos, and a lot of crispy bacon. This was one very good chicken sandwich. It is most likely the best fast food chicken sandwich around. Rate it a "B+." Thus, nice ambiance, pleasant efficient service, a well organized parking lot, a really good chicken sandwich, and reasonable prices are THE POSITIVES. THE NEGATIVES were the drink, the sub-standard waffle fries (despite the fact that people seem to enjoy them???), and the limited menu choices. On balance, give the overall dining experience around THREE AND A HALF STARS....meaning fairly good for a fast food restaurant...but it could be so much better. How long before my next visit? Hard to say.

    I went through the drive though and the person never gave my card back. I realized days later when…read moreI didn't have my card &' called you guys to ask if you could hang onto it. A manager confirmed on the phone they would hold my debit card until I could pick it up. About 2 weeks later, I know i'm so so so busy I really couldn't make it any sooner I went and the manager looked at me in my face with a nasty smug look and said oh we shredded it with a big smile!!!! What lovely people you have working at the establishment!! Because of that I had so many problems with my bank!! Thank you chick fil a!!!!!!!!! I'd also like to add there has been multiple instances of receiving specifically the nuggets RAW!!!! Just the one on University though this one has some serious issues!!

We're both indoor and outdoor seating, you have to be out of your mind not to sit out door next to the fireplace. This is New Mexico in the winter at its best.

Indoor space is quite small. Service is fast and friendly. My girlfriend and I ordered beers, the chile con queso, and two combination plates (one green one red). My favorite item was the chile con queso, served with warm tortillas. Grabbed some pico de gallo from the salsa bar to top the queso with and it was fabulous. Combo plates were good and hearty. I'd recommend the red one over the green - the pork tamale was the best item, followed by the enchilada. I didn't care for the flauta, which felt overcooked and dry. Overall enjoyed my experience.
