The service here is good for a fast-food joint. I liked the decorations and the bell by the door. I've never been to one before, and my boyfriend insisted that we go here for some lunch. The lady behind the counter was super polite and patient with us..well me, since I couldn't decide what to get. The food was good and the prices were reasonable. Great atmosphere for families and kids. They even have these pirate hats, arrr! :) lol

Never lose a coin-toss to a stoner. There is just nothing to console you from your greasebucket surroundings except some extremely lackluster popcorn shrimp, because the fries taste like cardboard even when they're hot and the Alaskan pollock strips have disturbingly smooth exteriors concealing mealy fish. I like to think the LJS in Houston wasn't this bad when I was little.

Review from Eric N.
I am starting to realize that this Long John's is really hit or miss.
I ate here twice in a week last time I was in the Stockton area and I had a pretty decent experience here the first time and a horrible experience the second time.
The second time I came in and ordered my usual Fish & Shrimp meal. The guy who helped me was either tired, on a whole lot of medication or high. (Seriously, I am not exaggerating) I asked for double fries instead of fries and coleslaw. The guy kind of mumbled something and then asked me something about double fries. I once again explained that I just wanted double fries because I really do not like coleslaw. He said something about my meal and double fries and rung me up...he told me to have a seat and he would bring my meal out to me.
Here is a picture of what he brought out to me:

Hmmmm...that looks like coleslaw to me. After I asked him twice.
I noticed through my meal that the line was REALLY horrible..worse than usual. I overheard them saying that one of the employees had been held up at gunpoint before work and was in the back of a cop car somewhere. Man that sucks but that seemed to be all they were talking about. I ordered a meal to go and it took 12 minutes for them to get me my order. That may not sound like a whole lot but that is forever at a fast food place.
I will be back in the future...I just hope they do a better job.

The food was made pretty quick! By the time I got all of my sauces brought to my table, the guy was following me to give me my food! I was very surprised that it was ready that fast!
LIKES: The fish is really good & crispy. The workers serve the food to your table. I like that they have a variety of different dipping sauces!
DISLIKES: The food is pretty oily so I suggest to eat their food once in awhile, not all the time. I probably get Long John's once every couple months. -

Went here last night for dinner, checked there website and downloaded a coupon for $4.00 off a 12pc family meal, the coupon said fish or chicken but I was able to mix it, comes with two sides and hush puppies, after the coupon it was about $17.00
I received wonderful service from the drive-thru, the lady was so polite and energetic when she took my order and even did a better job when I was at the window (I saved the receipt so I could post her name, only to loose it when I sat down to write the review) .
My food was nice and greasy :) but very yummy, I love all the little "Krispy's" they put in with the food, the food was hot and fresh, tried bread sticks for the first time and they are soft and good. -

"Meh. I've experienced better."
Couldn't have said it better myself ;)
Why oh why do I come back here when all i get is greasy bland food!
Oh, I know why.. it's cause when my kids come home for a visit, they
can't wait to go to Long John Silvers! Guess they need their dose
of grease..
We ordered a Chicken and more and a Fish and more. 2 pieces on each dinner plus coleslaw, fries and hush puppies.
Fries are some of the worst at any fast food places. The word 'cardboard' comes to mind...and that would be cardboard without
flavor added. Even McDonald's fries are better! Yikes!
Coleslaw...cabbage, dressing but no flavor.
Chicken pieces had been setting under the warmer for quite a while.
I think the warmer bulb must have been burned out because they were
barely warm. When they are hot, they are not bad.
Fish..hot and fresh..and GREASY! Sure don't need any laxative after
you eat a couple of pieces of the fish. Again, if it is hot and fresh it is edible....but greasy.
Come on Mr. Silvers...put some research and effort into the taste and quality of your food. Try different french fry suppliers.. there are a lot better fries out there. Don't just go for the cheapest supplier. On the coleslaw.. how about a dressing that adds an interesting flavor, since cabbage really has no inherent flavor by itself.
I would like to like your food.. Lord knows that I tried. I am 'forced' to eat there. I do not eat there by choice. We did not ring the bell on the way out!
Next time... any other fast food besides LJS! -

OMG this place is the epitome of crappy food and horrid service. Quite honestly, I don't think the devil himself would even approve of the atrocity's they put you through when you get your food from here.This is one of those reviews where you wish you could rate zero or even negative infinity. This place should be famous for how epicly horrible it is. Even everything I mentioned above still doesn't put how bad this place is in a proper perspective. So what I'm going to do is give you a hypothetical analogy, so that you can conceive even 1% of how atrocious and horrid this place really is.
Suppose this place and Some lion out in an African oasis was the only food left in the entire world. Suppose that the only way to get to Africa was to walk all the way from Stockton to the corner of Florda in bare feet with the adversity of going through mountainous regions, rugged rocky terrain ,140 degree temperatures and the constant threat of every wild beast and poisonous insect trying to kill you. Even Smeagul and Froto, would be like " oh hell no!" Suppose when you got to the Edge of Florda you then had to kayak across the Atlantic ocean, through a blistering post apocalyptic 2012 hurricane all the way to Africa. When you made it to Africa, making it to the oasis would seem like an impossible feat, because through the journey from stockton to Africa, you had to eat small portions of your own flesh just to keep yourself alive. Suppose that you made it to the oasis though, you then had to engage a vicious lion with only a long prodding twig and a cheap rubber mallet from a department store in hopes of killing it and making the lion your last meal. Now supposed someone asked me, would you choose Long John Silver's or the lion in the African oasis? I would then reply " I'll take the Lion please" without even the slight bit of hesitation or second guess.
Now that we get how horrible this place is, why is it so bad? Well correct me if I'm wrong but isn't Long John Silver's supposed to be fast food? If so why the hell did it take them literally 40 minutes just to make my food with only one customer ahead of me in the drive through? You might say, well why the hell did you even wait 40 minutes? Why didn't you leave? How about because as soon as I tryed to back out a convoy of customers arrived behind me. Driving over the 50inch concrete curb they have there blocking you in is certainly not an option, I have rims! IT was almost like those evil bastard spawn of Santan's intentionally made the drive through to trap you. So I was forced to wait there like some sort of poor bastard war prisoner. When I finally did get my food, I noticed the employees looked like some shady pubescent high school kids who are doing who knows what with your food. I thought about complaining, but honestly I was already late for work and I'd probably just be talking to a bunch of brick walls. The worst part about this all was trying to figure out what to say to my boss in regards to me being late. Surely "I was stuck in a fast food place" is hardly an acceptable answer, sounds like a paradox. How the hell do you get stuck in a fast food place?
The food here absolutely sucks. Taste like some genetically engineered garbage. Taste like pseudo-fish. Very crappy indeed, like they threw a bunch of regurgitated bird puke and fried it. YUCK, threw this crappy food away faster than a putrid baby diaper.
Pictures of their food, that I slightly modified for a real representation of what they serve here:

I wrote my review of my bad experience at Long Johns on their web site. I got an email from this owner/manager and I called and spoke with him about the issues they had.
He emailed me a coupon for 2 free meals (whatever I want). And at the top there was an apology for everything too.
That was really cool! I keep the apology/coupon but I am afraid to use it. The Long Johns employs these 15-19 year olds that would have no issues about doing something like spitting in the food of someone that complained about the place.
So it is a nice gesture but I'm still not going back!
so I give them a slightly higher rating, but only for the attempt by the manager/owner to make things right. He needs to do a complete re-hiring and start making better quality food though. It's sad that I have to even think employees are that nasty/immature!1 Previous Review: Show all »

LOL ... we came here just for good old memories from living in Colorado ... and the fact that my hubby hasn't eaten here for years as well.
Only good for a trip down memory lane.
Surprisingly, the place was almost full when we were eating! -

We had lunch here today. Yummmmmmy fried fish, fried shrimp, fried hush puppies, french fries and cole slaw. They have always had the best tartar sauce.
Didn't realize that Long John Silvers is not too common in the East Bay. I have coworkers that drive to Manteca for a fried seafood feast.
The bathroom was very clean... had that pine sol smell to it. The ice tea was very refreshing. Forgot my blood thinner chaser to follow all of the fried stuff with.
Service was friendly. The place was almost full. Very good LJS. -

See that nobody has done a review on this little fast food gem in a couple of years. One star is for cheap, one star is for better clam strips than the Red fish house we all know, and one star is for having raspberry iced tea on the drink machine.
But seriously, for a dine and dash time when you're not in the mood to carry a little red beeper around for 45 minutes, you could do worse. The fish portions are large enough, shrimp are not bad and all in all worth the buck. It appears they've redone the dining area with clean diner style tables, a few booths and along one wall, the raised level bar style tables. -

it was Friday...
I'm supposed to be catholic...
I'm broke...
in my attempt to save my soul and forgo any red meat until Easter, i manipulated my sweetie to hit up long johns silver for dinner with me last Friday. yah, i saved my soul, but i nearly damned by stomach and appetite in the process. Ive not been here in almost a year- the taste and quality of the food really hasn't changed although it seems like their decor has been remodeled since I've last eaten here with my brother. Amanda our cashier was friendly and helpful. however the fish and hush puppies are greasy and salty, the clam strips are like popping small, chewy strands of rubber bands into your mouth, and from last experience i wont even touch the coleslaw... and yet strangely enough, my body sometimes craves ljs once in awhile, as if its missing it's dosage of sodium-laden-grease. the corporate offices of ljs should consider making their food less greasy and tastier... or at least do 10 hail mary's and confess their sins. why i continue to sin and come back here every once in a long while is beyond me. -
