Long John Silver's | A&W — Restaurant in Alamogordo

I was very excited to see that LJS was still operating in Alamogordo after being disappointed when all the LJS in Colorado closed over 10 years ago. It's unfortunate that the building hasn't been updated in the 40 years I have been dining here, but Scott and his crew keep it so very clean, inviting and it doesn't have an old grease smell lingering in the air. It would be nice if corporate would invest in their own business.

The food is cooked to perfection - weather fried or grilled, no matter what time of day! And without the compliment of excess grease that soaks through the box. I've never been a fan of hushpuppies, but OMGosh, theirs are soooo YUMMY!

The employees are friendly, courteous, and truly appear to enjoy their work... which speaks volumes about their management leadership and training. I highly recommend dining here!

FYI: The quality and taste of fresh food can take a little longer than driving through other fast food places; but, this LJS is so very worth a little extra wait...

Yuk! Fish was terrible. Service was terrible. Order was wrong. :( I asked for fish & chicken combo the man taking my order just picked one. I finally found it on menu and said could I have the (I think #14) it was fish, chicken and two kinds of shrimp, Mac & cheese and French fries. The man was rude and said well let me change it then....turns out he didn’t or they just filled it wrong but here’s what i got: Mac was awful, kids wouldn’t eat it either. Fish was absolutely gross and mushy on the bottom so we didn’t eat that and I didn’t get either shrimp. Only the 2 pieces of chicken were salvageable for almost $10! They had me pull into a parking spot (presumably because something wasn’t ready) not a problem, but then make the whole order fresh? Or at least make sure it’s right! Frustrated is an understatement. I do...

Shame you can't give minus stars, probably the worst fast food meal we have ever had. Should have taken the hint and left when the stench of old cooking oil and dirt hit us as we walked in, nevermind the filthy floor and tables. My wife had the chicken combo meal and I had the sampler, in both cases everything was dripping wet with oil, the fish was soggy, tasteless and frankly nasty, the chicken somehow both overcooked and soggy at the same time. The only edible things (just) were the fries, shrimp and the drinks. Left 90% and went just up the road to Applebee's where for only 8 dollars more in total, we had a very good burger and drink each in a clean pleasant...
