This is a very well run Long John Silvers. Very friendly staff and good fish options. Everything's fried on demand, hot and crispy. Neighborhood is all businesses so nothing fancy there, but the restaurant is clean and neat. The fried cod is the best.

Fish & Chicken Platter
Julyssa B.

I grew up visiting the location by Capital Plaza. I have not had LJS in over a decade and decided to test this location out. I was pleasantly impressed with the quality of the food. I had the fish and chicken plate that I shared with my toddler. She very much enjoyed the chicken and fries. I enjoyed the fish and coleslaw. The hush puppies were nostalgic to me. I used the drive thru so I did not see the inside of the restaurant. My server was pleasant. My food was hot and out very quickly. I would recommend to other families to come on by!

Maybe the amount due was a clue a plate was missing. Wonder who kept the change. The restaurant or the Uber driver.

Just about the worst experience ordering on Uber from this restaurant. They not only forgot one fish plate, but didn't add any condiments like TARTAR sauce. How do you not add any condiments for 4 fish plates ? Unbelievable!! Called several times and they never answered the phone. I will never order from this place again. Was my first and last time. Had to order from a completely different fish restaurant. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

Mixture of cold and hot items on the tray. Poor quality control.

TLDR: Some items were hot, some were cold. Not impressive for a place that specializes in deep-fried everything. As another user put it, "Long John Silvers is a dying breed of restaurants that serve fried fish to go." That said, you have to give them credit for enduring and out-lasting a whole bunch of their competitors over the years. Heck, the decor still looks like it's right out of the 70's, and that's saying something. Order two platters; the usual diamond-shaped pollock fillets along with fries and hushpuppies, and the rectangular cod fillets with fries and hushpuppies. The cod was hot and delicious. Everything else was lukewarm or even COLD. We were there at 10:45am on a day when they opened at 10:30. The only way they could have cold items is if they cooked them last night, or someone came in at 7am to cook them and left them out. Either way, pretty unappealing. Like I said, when hot the food's fine. But when your only product is deep-fried fill-in-the-blank, you can't get away with serving cold food. That's something to throw back, not serve. This place scores a 2 out of 5 on the 'CTJ Scale', as noted below. 5 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Jesus good. Would be OK passing away after finishing a plate here. 4 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Mary good. Would be OK having a nosh here with Mother Mary. 3 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Joseph good. Would be OK having a beer here with Jesus' Dad. 2 out of 5 stars: Come-to-the-Apostles good. Meh. Wouldn't have my last supper here. 1 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Nobody good. I wouldn't have my penultimate supper here, either.

Mid at best. Floor was greasy and trash cans were filthy. Soda machine was a bust. Food was lackin! Customer service was great! But food and place was a bust!

Tahra was very kind and patient with my order.

Long John Silvers's is a dying breed of restaurants that serve fried fish to go. Gone are its competitors such as "H. Salt Fish and Chips and the others. But Long John's has hung in there. I always visit this location after a worship team rehearsal. I love the flavor. They offer other options than just fried fish. Service here is exceptional. The drive thru speaker is clear and concise. They can actually understand your requests. My order is always correct. You must stop by and sample the catch.

I have not been to a long John silver's in probably 20 years. For some reason I got a craving today.. So I ordered through Uber eats and got fish shrimp and clams.. I'll start with the fish. It was way overcooked.. The crusting was almost too hard to bite through. And there was little to no fish inside at all.. The shrimp I'd probably give it a 3 it was it was all right but not good.. The clams were good. I also got the corn as a side and it tasted like they put some kind of chemical in it inedible The fries were probably good when they were fresh buthey were fresh but by the time I got them they were cold and fries reheated in the microwave are just disgusting. I definitely will never order from here again. I don't know what happened or when it happened but they used to be pretty good.

2 Fish & Shrimp w/ green beans & fries. Extra crumbs on the side.

Sad review as may be their last, 1/4 is set to be their last day of being open for business. I…read morealways forgot this place was here, it's super convenient to us but the location was easily forgettable as it wasn't really visible from 79. Ticked away in a little complex without 79 visibility along with a couple of other places that don't seem to get much traffic either. Finally made our first visit so we could try "the best fish & chips" in the Austin area. I was surprised how big it was, they have a patio, a bar area and lots of tables I was shocked as from the outside it looks tiny. Service was fantastic which was shocking with them closing soon. The service was enough to want me to go back hopefully for us in this area they end up somewhere close by as I know how hard it is to find good workers. Pretzels were good! Onion rings were our favorite! Their version of the Philly was just okay, was very plain with not much flavor hubby didn't even finish half. But the star of the show was the fish and chips. My son was over the moon! Couldn't even finish half of it and he wanted to haha. Sad to see they will be closing their doors but hopefully the owner has something else up his sleeve as they were onto something with this place.

I ordered the fish and chips. The piece of fish was enormous! It was cooked well, if a little too much breading for my taste. The chips were really good. The tartar sauce was different than I am used to, a little runny and pink tinged, but it was good. The mushy peas were yummy and added an authenticity to the dish. I didn't really use the curry sauce that also came with the dish. To me it doesn't go with fish or chips. I did taste it, and the flavor was great.

I'm certain I would have dozed off in one if we weren't called up. We sat outdoor alongside several other families with kids. The music wasn't super loud and the tables were generously spaced so we weren't close enough for other peoples' conversations to distract from our own. We then ordered the following: Smoked Fish Dip Maine Crab Cakes Brussels Sprouts Fish Sandwich Lobster Grilled Cheese Lobster Pot Pie The smoked fish dip was good but nothing crazy. My sister had suggested the fried calamari instead, but my love of bread overrode my familial devotion. The dip itself was moist with no excess liquid and spread easily onto the provided cuts of sourdough toast. My only critique is that the dip seems like it's missing something, but I'm not food-smart enough to know what. However, because of my bread bias, this is still a 4/5. The crab cakes on the other hand were amazing. There was no excess oil soaking the fried crust and the crab meat inside wasn't over-salted, as I've come to expect from most crab cakes. These were highly enjoyable with bites of avocado and mandarin in between to balance the fried elements. 4.5/5 The Brussels sprouts were well-roasted, with a nice vinaigrette coating their crispy outsides. I expect this level of quality for Brussels sprouts from American restaurants at this point, so no surprises, just good in general. 4/5 Skipping the fish sandwich as unfortunately I didn't get to try them, but it looked and smelled great. I had one bite of the lobster grilled cheese, so take this particular review with a grain of salt. The smokiness of the cheeses sits on top of everything else without overpowering, while the lobster, bacon, and tomatoes provide a great mix of fat and brine. This is a lowbrow surf and turf between bread, and it's perfect. 5/5 Finally, we come to my own order, the lobster pot pie. Unfortunately, I shared this with the aforementioned sister and didn't get the full experience. The dish came piping hot and fresh, and the puff pastry was flaky and not overbaked. Internals-wise, I could see myself eating just the cream sauce like a chowder. It was perfectly flavored with veggies and herbs, with regular chunks of lobster. Not too salty and absolutely decadent, would not share again. 5/5 Overall, this was a highly enjoyable experience with fast, not rushed, service and an amazing spread. This is an easy recommendation for a family-friendly restaurant with lowkey vibes, and I'll forsure visit again when I'm back in town.
