About Long John Silver's | A&W

Real seafood should be sourced from real sea-places, like, you know, oceans. So that's exactly where we source our wild-caught Alaska pollock, wild-caught Alaska salmon, and wild-caught north Pacific cod. We’re no one trick sea pony.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Dirk Dingo · Feb 2026

Long John Silver's - A&W was decent overall. The atmosphere was exactly what you’d expect from a fast-food seafood spot. The staff was friendly, but the service was very slow—my order took over 20 minutes after I placed it. I ordered the popcorn shrimp and hushpuppies; the food was alright and met expectations. I’d eat here again, just not if I’m in a hurry.

This is the best place in town for rootbeer floats. Also, seasonally, they have an awesome pumpkin pie shake! I had that today and it was great!! Every once in a while they have a special on two double hamburgers that is AMAZING 👏

★★★★☆ 4.0 Anthony Franklin · Apr 2025

This is one of our favorite restaurants when it comes to getting seafood and chicken and burgers. The food; Is always great. They have diet rootbeer, which is one of my personal favorites. The Long John's side is as good as ever. The A&W side is on par with LJ's. The best part is having fried clams with coney dogs and onion rings. The desserts aren't monstrosities, so it's easy on your waistline as well as your pocketbook. The service is fast and friendly even when they're busy. The Atmosphere; they have a streamlined layout and keep it spacious, clean, and well stocked. Their drink machine isn't working in the eating area. However, you can still ask for refills.

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Anne Torres · Nov 2025

I'm so sorry, I absolutely love eating Long John Silver"s, but when we went through the drive-through the service was awful. We tried ordering and the person could not figure it out and asked us to repeat the order 4 times. I honestly question if he was sober. We finally drove off and did not continue trying to order.

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Mushiku Marie · Jun 2025

They tried to close a half hour early. All of the lights were off, and when we pulled up to the drive thru they said it was made to order, meaning they shut off their fryers. And they said we could order but they never turned on the lights so we couldn't see the menu. I didn't want them to spit in my food so we didn't order tonight. I used to live in Burlington and I'm back for family and really wanted Long John Silvers since they don't have it where I live. I'm very disappointed. Don't shut off your fryers and lights before the close time listed online.
