I grew up eating a&w so decided to try it for lunch. I ordered the onion rings. They were ok but not the onion rings I remember as a kid. I got the double papa burger and it was ok as well. Overall the food was good but not the same as it used to be. read more

Food was excellent. My first piece of gosh on the 2 pc and 3 shrimp was kind of over cooked, dare I say stale/old. They took it back and replaced it with zero issues. Service was great, store was clean! read more

Stopped by here for a quick lunch. Service was nice enough, we went through the drive thru so not much interaction but what we were surprised by was how fast it took to get the food. We got the food before we even paid haha. I got discouraged thinking it had been sitting there but was shocked that everything seemed fresh. It was actually so hot we had to wait to eat it. As far as fast food goes, this place isn't bad. Nothing to rave about but we enjoyed it as a once a year type meal. Not a huge fan of the hush puppies or coleslaw but loved everything else. If I could get them to change anything, it would be their malt vinegar. It had zero taste which shocked me because vinegar is normally pungent. read more

This was my first time to get a root beer float at A&W. I also got the chili hotdog but I do not have a picture of it. The hotdog was OK. Nothing that would make me want to order again. The chili was a little too heavy for me and a little too much spice. I was looking more like for something that like sonic serves but that's OK. This just was not my cup of tea but the piece of fish that I got was amazing. It was crunchy and hit all the right spot. It was delicious. The root beer float just finished it. It was on point and amazing. I will definitely be back for these items. read more

Note: This is a combo A&W / Long John Silvers, and I only ate from the LJS portion of the menu. Does anyone still expect much of anything from LJS? The chain's been in a long-term decline for decades and it's a flip of the coin if you'll get anything fresh. I suppose I split the difference on this visit as they were OUT of cod, which really is the best thing to eat on the menu since they have to make it fresh. All they had was their usual diamond-shaped fish fillets, which arrived lukewarm along with warm-ish hush puppies. Service was friendly-ish but lackluster, like the food. On the plus side, the root beer tastes exactly like it should: alive, zippy, and cold if you throw enough ice cubes at it. Average it out, I'd call it a 2.5 star experience. Have to round it up to a three for Yelp, though. I might try this place again, see which side of the coin I get. This place scores a 3 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. read more

A&W Restaurant - The hybridized store front. Oooo! - Fast Food Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Place looked like it needed severe remodeling. Bathroom was horrible and smelled awful!! Food was good but the drink area was not very tempting! I'm not going back, no wonder they're hardly any left anymore. read more

Went for a late night Memorial Day craving & had to point out the service I received. I ordered at 8:40pm on Memorial Day (2022) and Stella was overly amazing (name on receipt- review is about woman in glasses who I'm assuming is Stella) She was prompt, friendly and even made sure our drink tasted good while waiting on our food in the drive thru. We just left Popeyes at the Rim for my husband and got the same awful service there- so thought I would go out of my way to express how I appreciate good service even when it's late on a holiday. Thank you! read more

I have to be honest, I stopped because I had a weird craving for Long John Silvers, was not expecting much since most Long John's have really gone down. But I have to say the service was friendly and everything was fried fresh to order, it was steaming hot! Fries were crispy, fish, chicken and shrimp were full of flavor and crispy! Provided a nostalgia of when Long John's glory days! Not sure if it was just by chance it was good, but if I was ever craving it again, I would wait till I was in this area to give it a go! read more

A&W Restaurant - Shrimp, Chicken and fish - Fast Food Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

That was the saddest I've ever been for 10 dollars... Thought I'd give them a shot today but it was a really really crappy burger. Dry meat, catastrophically built on a somehow very wet bun. Please save your money and go over to Whataburger for a more reliable experience. read more

This visit (12:30 6/22/2021) is more singularly disappointing because the Long John Silver that A & W shares space with on I-10 and DeZavala in San Antonio has been my favorite for years. Not necessarily for service but, for food. I've stayed a fan of LJS for decades despite the steep decline in recent years. Today, my experience with the apparent man in charge (about 5' 10"--dirty blond hair with full beard) was negative immediately. He was curt, sarcastic and rude in behavior and speech. I was required to complete 2 credit card transactions because "half your order is to-go". I wasn't able to use the chip--so I slid the card. He repeatedly said I was doing it wrong and when I tried for a second time (on reflex) to use the screen as touch screen--he said sarcastically "well, it didn't work the first time--so I guess it won't work THIS time--will it?" When we got the food--he interrupted the young man who was helping me--saying the order was correct. I pointed out we were missing a piece. He shrugged and the other man fixed the order. On the way out--we gathered our leftovers and tidied our table--but, I got a call from my father (from California). We didn't throw away our refuse. Next thing--the man yelled at my wife and I that we need to pick up our stuff and said REPEATEDLY "This is a self service restaurant--you need to pick your stuff up and throw it out!!!!" On the way out (while on the phone) I noticed a couple of other tables that had not been bussed yet. We are Native American/Hispanic customers. Both retired teachers. I'm a disabled veteran. I can't remember this kind of treatment in years. Unkind--and unbecoming of the Long John Silver franchise. I told the man I'd write him up--and he said "Go ahead--I don't care!!" I'd like the satisfaction of knowing something is done about this. Dean. read more

This is the first! I made my order! Drove up to get the order! Asked to upsize my drink! I was told because he already poured the drink he would have to charge me for two drinks or I would have to take the medium drink. So.... I drove to Whataburger and bought a chicken sandwich from them and a large coke zero! read more

Craving cheese curds? Go get them at A & W but refrain from refreshing. We ordered a regular order of cheese curds and a regular size root beer and boy that root tasted bad. There was a strong hint of some kind of medicine or alcohol based product. Be careful. read more

Wish could rate Long John Silver's food & service as a negative 5 stars. Food made us sick during the night and still sick this morning. Family member picked up dinner there last night--2 pc fish meal with fries, coleslaw & diet A&W root beer and an order of an A&W cheeseburger with fries. They again said they had no cod like during our last two visits several months ago. (Girl at window was evasive when asked her if just ran out today or no longer on their menu. Noticed cod no longer on this location's on-line order menu, despite still on the company's website menu. Finally found out in return visit from manager they haven't been able to get it.) When arrived home with food, coleslaw was missing from fish meal & fries missing from cheeseburger meal. Fish & fries were cold. (We live nearby--should have been hot.). Tried several times to call restaurant, but they weren't answering their phone. Family member drove back to restaurant & went inside this time. Had to wait at counter several minutes before being acknowledged. Three workers just stared at her when she told them why she came back about missing food. No response from them, no apology. No attempt to correct issue. Gave them burger back in bag. Finally able to speak to manager who remade cheeseburger since original was now quite cold. Got remade cheeseburger plus fries & coleslaw that were missing from original order. Manager was only person to acknowledge issue--she finally said "sorry" to family member's back as she was going out the door. Cheeseburger bun was not fresh (hard) & meat tasted "off." Had to reheat fish & fries--still was gross, grease tasted rancid. Even the root beer tasted different (somehow "off"), never bad before in all the many years been eating at AW and/or LJS locations. Both of us sick from what we ingested before trashing the rest of both meals. Never again will we visit this place. More stomach cramping, nausea & diarrhea just thinking about it while writing this.... Will AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE. read more

A&W root beer you can't beat. The Papaburger was packed with lettuce and sauce, tomato along with the two Patties and cheese, very filling, but sauce kind of overwhelms the meat and the gut. As far as the fries, you need ketchup for any flavor at all. Will return for A&W root beer, but will forgo the solids. Drive thru was quick. Not able to speak about inside. read more

Honestly, I haven't had the food yet, but I had to right a review immediately because of the amazing customer service! I had Mr. Jackson and Stella serving and they were both so kind and patient! I came here for my birthday to get some comfort food and the remarkable customer service I got made my day so special! Will definitely come again! read more

It has been a few years since visiting this location (used to work close by) and very disappointed in the atmosphere. First, the food was good but I miss having the baked Cod, healthy option that used to be available. So food wise the overall rating would be maybe a 3 or 4. However the rating for me and my guest dropped to a 1 because of how dirty the place was. Walking around we noticed all the floors were very sticky, which made us worry about how the cooking area was. I had to use the restroom and was horrified at how dirty they were. The toilet seat was so disgusting I wouldn't want to sit on it. note: I'm a guy so didn't have to. There were no paper towels and the air dryer didn't work well, so my hands were still wet after almost a minute. Won't come back again read more

Great food nice hot and fast. Great management! Will be my goto spot when in the area

The fountain drinks had no carbonation, they forgot condiments, they gave us 2 of the wrong burgers. The person that took our order also got one of our orders wrong. Overall the food and service wasn't good, but the ambiance was fine. read more

Stopped in for a quick lunch before school supplies shopping at the nearby walmart. Food was good and the place was clean. The employees were polite and friendly. All in all, a good lunch! The kids and I enjoyed it. Btw they support the military by offering a discount :-) read more

A&W Restaurant - Shrimp, chicken, fish and sides - Fast Food Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

First time I've ever tried this place. For how much I love seafood I'm surprised I haven't tried it even sooner. I ordered the crispy fish with the fries and hash brown balls. The size was enough to fill me up and the fish was delicious. It didn't taste like I got it from a drive thru. The service was extremely fast and the lady was nice at the drive-thru. Definitely recommend this but if you're in a hurry and love seafood. read more

This was the most unexpected great service ever. Seriously you never know what you get while entering a fast food chain but this was a surprise. Clean as ever food was great and the ladies were amazing! Asking if you needed anything helping customers going above and beyond! But it was not just one employee they all were acting like they loved their job! Shoes that whoever the leader is .... is making an impact! I would recruit the entire teAm if I could! read more

Stopped for lunch on a Thursday at 12:45pm. It was not busy and I ate inside. I ordered a plate with two fish portions, one chicken plank, three shrimp, fries, slaw and hushpuppies. The fish was a bit overdone, but tasty and moist on the inside. The chicken was dry and chewy. The slaw was good and the hushuppies were delicious. The fires were old, cold and scrappy. No malt vinegar was visible anywhere, not offered with the food and It was a hunt to discover ketchup and tartar sauce, offered in infinitesimally small paper cups. Not a great value for $8.64 The employees were moderately friendly and the place was not as clean and tidy as I like a restaurant to be. Nine hours later, I'm still tasting it. next time, if there is one, I'll try the A&W burgers. read more

This was my first experience. The cashier was not the smartest but very friendly and nice. I got the papa burger meal with no onion and papa sauce. My wife got the kids corn dog nuggets meal. She said it was Ok. Lots of food. My burger was great. Fries on both meals were kinda cold and old but they were still Ok. We also got their famous root beer float. It was not good. It was really watery. Worth a try. Enjoy. read more

The food has went down hill at this location! Save your money! The place also made my clothes stink.

Stella & the rest of the staff were very polite and friendly. They treated my dog to a small cup of ice cream after we ordered dinner tonight. It was 91 degrees out & my girl loved her snack. read more

My family came to visit and we decided to have dinner at this long john location and were approached with a very short tempered worker at the register. Very rude and gave us the wrong order on top of that. If you don't like your job work your ass somewhere else dude. read more

I've noticed in the past few months that LJS has smaller fish and chicken portions. If you've gone regularly, the change is noticeable. A little disappointing. LJS is about the only fish I'll eat. And it just doesn't taste as delicious. So disappointed. read more

This place was and is currently still my favorite LJS to go to bc for a few reasons: 1. I am a well known regular there when I lived in S.A. 2. They never get my order wrong. 3. They accept all my coupons, whether On paper or mobile. And 4. Bc the food was delicious! (To me anyway) When I was in college in San Antonio, I used to come here often to get some nice crispy fried fish and chicken, almost always accompanied with hush puppies and either rice pilaf/fries. Always perfect every time, always quick, and the staff is always friendly to me! I've also tried their cod, which might be the one thing that doesn't smelly OVERY fishy fRom this menu (i could be wrong), and their baked fish meals, which are also pretty good, though I think there could be improvements In flavor for the latter. I tend to get the creamy sauce, and it's not garlicky enough for the baked fish. The staff is always very kind and nice to me, and with good fast seafood from here, I'd give this place 5 stars each time! I always will look forward to coming here when I am around. read more

This place needs to be cleaned in the interior so badly. Everything from the walls and windows, to the soda machine to the bathrooms and tables and chairs were so gross! The employees just stand there. read more

The best LJS i have every been to, I go often, and its always good, the service is excellent, thank you for doing such an awesome job of making it enjoyable to eat there read more

Out of all the Long John silvers this is by far my most favorite. The cashier Tim is so great! He pays attention he's my fav part about this location. Great customer service. read more

Almost always hot and crispy on order. Great food. Good location. Been coming here for years. Original fried fish and shrimp are delicious. Cod here is also great. read more

All in all an okay place. Pretty cheap. Two of us ate for less than $14 and we got a meal with fries and added a large root beer float. Food was okay. I liked the corn dog bites (which aren't on the menu by the way). I think other places have better fries though. The root beer float wasn't very flavorful. It kinda tasted watered down. read more

I walked into a cloud of smoke as i walked into this location. Seems that there was a grease fire. Floor was super slippery like they used a bucket of grease to mop the floor. Other than that the food was hot and delicious. Lol read more

My mother and I ordered drive through from this location on Tuesday, June 13. We then went to the adjacent Whataburger for sodas. Food tastes alright and was apparently made fresh (it was steaming hot), but was definately not worth what happened that evening. At midnight, I experienced severe stomach distress, my mother started experiencing the same a half hour later. We both spent Wednesday morning with it leaving both ends, so to speak. These two restaurants and Lubys the night before were the only food we had in common. I have since heard from the health inspector that a suprised inspection turned up nothing wrong at Lubys, which leads me to believe that one of these two restaurants was responsible. We found out Wednesday from the doctor that whatever it is is bacterial in nature, and we are both on very strong antibiotics as a result. read more

For one just walking in you can tell this place is in dire need of a makeover or just plain Ole maintenance. The floors were so sticky. When they cleaning the tables they never wiped the chairs and used a barely wet raddedy towel. I don't know if this place has ever had a good cleaning. Horrible management. Fish was soggy in the middle and the condiments were barely legible. Won't be back which is too bad. read more

This location is one of our favorites! We rarely order fast food, but my kids and my hubby love LJS. We've been here several times and it's always piping hot and delicious! read more

The platters are delicious and I've come here several times so far just to satisfy my cravings. However, the drinks aren't too great and the food is a bit overpriced. I still come here every now and then for their chicken strips and hushpuppies. read more

It had been quite a while since I had been to LJS, like a few years. Yesterday I had a hankering for fried clam strips, so I popped in the car and went to this LJS. I placed an order for french fries, an order of onion rings and a clam meal. According to the menu, the clam meal came with two sides. When I arrive home, there were no french fries and the clam strips were cooked beyond recognition! I ate a couple of the clam strips and threw away the rest! What a disappointment. Never again will I frequent that restaurant. read more
