Oh and the picture is what you get for 9.99 now
I was a huge fan of Long John Silver’s for just about the entirety of my childhood. Maybe that was just to avoid McDonald’s or Taco Bell whenever I had the chance. I will be 19 in 2 months after publishing this review, so I decided what other than to get a little taste of childhood. I always went crazy over the leftover batter remnants, whatever I looked at them as.
Except I didn’t. Maybe I forgot to grab myself a bottle of malt vinegar just to cut out the fatty taste in the batter? Here’s the thing: I ordered one of those $6 shrimp baskets; battered. I will say I was pleasantly surprised with the fries as they were cooked to perfection. But I can’t say the same for the shrimp and the hushpuppies. Again, maybe I forgot the vinegar, but the batter tasted extremely fatty and greasy. I thought even greasier with the hushpuppies – they were literally just oily bread balls.
I was even more disappointed with the lobster bites. Anyone that knows me would know that I go crazy over anything lobster. I had a whole lobster twice for my 13th and 16th birthdays. I was excited for these bites, but when I took a bite, IT WAS SHRIMP (maybe that’s just the consistency of them?)! What did I expect? They were only $5.
Just because my food was 1 star (kudos to the fries for bringing it up to 1.4 stars) doesn’t mean the overall experience was 1 star. The people that were working there that day were exceptionally nice. They let me take my time when ordering after I was greeted a warm welcome and goodbye. One of the ladies put a lot of love into serving me.
So, the only reason I will consider returning is for the people, definitely not the food. Keep in mind I have eaten at this location 7 years ago, and the food then was a lot better than now.
Was driving through here for work and decided to give it a go for nostalgia sake. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, it was nice.
The food came out quickly and was excellent! It was fresh and presented nicely. Sometimes fast food joints end up nose-diving in quality – both in food, establishment, and staff. This place felt like it was newly opened though it’s been there for 20+ years I believe. It actually stood out as being a particularly good experience. The staff was friendly, the food fresh, and the restaurant was clean and felt modern and cared for.
Nice job to whoever owns this place, keep up the high standards. Definitely be on my list when driving through there again.
