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

I stopped by this restaurant on a trip between Nashville and Indy on 8-21-23. I regularly stop at Cave City to eat because of the convenience and a few different choices on this fairly regular drive. It was a hot day, and my A/C was out on my vehicle. A root beer float sounded like a great idea. Even though expensive at $4.49 for a medium size (more than at other A&W locations I've been to), that's what I ordered. I also ordered a full meal from Long John Silver's, for a total of $21.25. There was no visible ice cream on the float, except for a smidge of discolored foam on top. And when I stirred the drink, it was fully liquid, with absolutely NO ice cream present. I was thoroughly disappointed, and immediately went to the counter to nicely express my dissatisfaction. I spoke with 2 employees and a manager, and they refused to satisfactorily address or resolve this issue. I would NEVER order (or recommend) another root beer float from this location, and would hesitate to do so at any other A&W establishment because of this experience.

As all of our local Ohio hometown LJS are closed up except for one that does not have food that compares in any way to those that closed, we happened on this store on our way from Alabama back to Ohio. This location was so very busy, I was astounded at the number of customers when I went inside to order. We got fish and fries, extra hushpuppies. The fish was absolutely amazing, the hushpuppies were just as good! Staff persons were extremely busy. I did see that one register drawer was broken and needs to be fixed (oops!!) but we were very impressed with the food. We are coming back through on Tuesday 10/14/25 and I hope that we are just as impressed! Please do not let us down! If we get good food and service again, this will be our new stopping point on the way to Ohio and back as there is also a Shell gas station across the street! Thanks for the great food and service. See you...

I truly enjoy LJS. There is not one close to me. I drove 26 miles to the Cave City location. Pulled into the parking lot and see an employee sitting at the patio table. He was wearing a nasty dirty bandanna, a ripped nasty jacket, stained (not restaurant stains) dirty pair of jeans, the jeans didn't cover his entire butt, and was smoking while wearing his cook apron. Now, I am driving 26 miles back home without ever getting out of my vehicle. If their employees don't care how they look, then do they really care about restaurant cleaning etiquette. I didn't chance it. You decide if you want...
