Long John Silver's — Restaurant in Bakersfield

I was very disappointed. I hadn’t been to a Long John Silver’s in a couple of decades. I saw they were running a BOGO platter special and thought I’d give it a try. I ordered using the app at 1:15pm for 2pm pickup. The food was ready when I got there, but already cold. They must have cooked it when I ordered it not just before my pickup time.

$20 got me a piece of Alaskan pollock and 2 pieces of all-white meat chicken, 6 crispy shrimp; and a big handful of popcorn shrimp. Paired with sides and 4 hushpuppies. My sides were: waffle fries, coleslaw, green beans and cheddar cheese bites. Sounds like enough to have leftovers, it really wasn’t. The fried food was about half waffle fries by volume.

My first bite was into a piece of pollock, which was tough. I didn’t know that deep fried fish could be tough. The waffle fries were essentially plastic and had no flavor. The chicken and crispy shrimp had the same batter coating as the fish. They came close to having flavor, but no. The coleslaw and green beans were ite. Nothing special commercial food. The cheddar cheese bites, being cold did not impress. Popcorn shrimp is a fun food. Tartar sauce and malt vinegar packets were in the bag. I found out later that they have other sauces in packets, which didn’t help the shrimp after I left the parking lot.

All I have to compare it to is sit down restaurants and the couple of times I have fried fish myself. Considering the volume of food they sell there is no excuse for such low quality and small pieces. California Fish Grill and Mossman’s will remain my go to for...

Don't eat here. I made the mistake of eating there and almost paid for it with a hospital visit. On Dec 6. I had ordered the 2 Fish, 3 Shrimp & Clams Platter. when i received my order the fries were old and so were the shrimp, the clams were barely warm. When i requested replacement fries and shrimp they tried claiming i was trying to get free food. the replacement shrimp was refried. Yes you read that correctly they refried some old shrimp they had in the kitchen. how do i know this? the skin on the shrimp was glassy like it had been fried a second time. I took a picture of the replacement shrimp cause it looked off, tried one and it tasted foul and the smell was like burnt skin, the texture was like rubbery shrimp. I decided to toss the shrimp because i had a feeling if i kept eating the shrimp i would get food poisoning. when i got home later I got sick and felt like vomiting. Do not eat here, they don't take the safety of their cutomers seriously. They don't care that you spent over $12 on a meal, they'll still give you old food even though it's a health code violation to give food or even refry food that's been left at room temperature for a long...

First time ordering food online, decided to download their app and place an order for the 2pc fish meal. Since it was my first time downloading the app it said I could get another 2pc fish combo for $5 but at checkout the coupon wasn’t working of course. So I decided to just pay full price for it so my little girl could eat as well. She loves the hush puppies here! I paid $32 and change for the two items. When I picked the food up, she forgot to give me one of the drinks that I ordered, I had to remind her there was an additional drink! Then I get home and I kid you not, both boxes had literally 5 pcs of waffle fries in them! The food was ice cold and to top it off my little girls box was missing her hush puppies!! Not a good day for us, we’re still hungry and out $32 bucks now! Food was disgusting wouldn’t come back here EVER!...
