Dont try to use a $50 dollar bill there. You will get told that its most likely fake, thefore you are being accused of being a THIEF! Food total was almost 50 bucks. And when we asked to speak to a manager the employee refused! read more

There very skimpy on the tarter sauce. I asked for more and said I'd even pay for more and they told me they couldn't give me anymore due to the pandemic which did make any sense. I'll never come here agaIn. read more

This spot used to be the place to go to for fried fish and recently coming here to grab a bite for my kids... Ughhh. The food was terrible! I took a bite of the fried fish and it tasted like it was sitting in oil before it was served. I understand everything here is fried, but it literally tastes like it was sitting in the oil instead of put on another area to drip dry. Can't believe my kids actually like this place. I won't be coming here to dine in or grab it to go for myself... I don't know if I've spoiled myself by trying fried fish elsewhere, but it was not as good as I remembered it. Long John's really needs to re-evaluate their fish cooking process and I'm not even sure if it's just this location, but there has to be a way that they serve their foods not drenched in oil. I took a bite and literally... Rather than the taste of the fish reaching my taste buds... A whole cup of oil poured into my mouth. If you're not all about eating oil and just the fish... This may not be the place for you. Sorry Long John's. You used to be the bomb.. Don't know what happened. read more

The staff was rude it seem like they didn't want to be there. The food seen a bit different maybe the food changed or something. The fish was thinner and very salty. I also got a shrimp basket with a side of cole slaw. The shrimp and fish were both very oily and smelled very fishes and the cole slaw did not taste good. I was not happy I was really craving LJS. read more

If I could give a minus 5 stars I would. Ordered salmon tacos with no sauce (cant eat mayo based sauces as I am allergic to eggs) in the drive through. It came with sauce underneath the fish..no biggy that happens. I went in and asked for the tacos without sauce as I ordered. The cook came out very aggravated and confrontational saying there was no sauce on the tacos. I said there was it was under the fish...he continued to keep arguing. I got my my money back and left. Nice way to keep customers. Never ever again LJS read more

They leave there sprinklers on around 530 n as I ordered I was getting soaked they need to at least consider not wasting water in the Central Valley n the fact that as I ordered I was getting wet was ridiculous food looks fresh but they charged me for a drink they didn't give me read more

Are used to like Long John Silver it was a pretty good restaurant with very good food however the Long John Silver on Ming Avenue in Bakersfield customer service they're completely sucks they're very rude and they act like they won't be there and it shows very disappointed read more

I love long johns, 5 stars is good do this location the people have been nice, and nobody is there ever, The parking lot situation sucks the little strip mall it's in is not set up good and people don't know how to drive figures read more

Long John Silver's - Large drink - Seafood Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Love coming here the food is always fresh and hot I love it just wish they had another location closer to me like they did before they closed the rosedale location. They need to open a couple more up read more

We have always had very good service and food but tonight Friday 1/17 @ Apx 6:30pm they did not show Their best. There was an employee doing a shift change, only one employee working the front counter and the drive-through Chama 3 cars in the drive-through waiting at the speaker and for people waiting inside at the counter. No management insight. Given the fact that Friday night is the heaviest night for fish sales you would think that they would be on the ball. read more

When entering the building it was a very sad atmosphere and after looking around the store it was dirty tables haven't been wiped garbage underneath the tables and the bathrooms are hideous the friendliness of the cashier was on the same level as a mushroom and the time it took for my food to be prepared with 17 minutes I did pay premium price for a very mediocre product I would have been happy paint half for what I got I will not be returning because of how sad this restaurant is read more

The only reason I am giving this place 3 stars is because the food was hot and came out in a timely manner. But the employee's need a class on Customer Service ASAP. The young lady that took our order clearly does not appreciate she has a job, and made it a point to let us know before a single word came out of my mouth to order: We are closing in 10 min. So what does that mean to us as Guests?? Take our order with a smile and thank God you have a job. Her whole attitude as if we are imposing on her made me wonder if she is always like this? And if so, how does she still have a job?? We came in at 8:50pm, it is now 9:21pm, my brother has a disability with speech due to a stroke, and the young man in the dinning room mopping shut off the drink station and could see my brother trying to serve himself a drink. I had to get up and go help my brother and that is when this young man turned the soda machine back on, well yes there are still guests in your lobby!! read more

This has been my favorite for 30 years. I live so far away, it's my go-to personal pleasure to pick this up with hush puppies like no other

This was by far the worst experience ever. There was a new girl at the register all by herself and no help. Management no where in sight to help this new Co worker who was clearly really confused. She started to have a line and orders were being messed up. I felt really bad for her that I would of jumped around the counter to help her if I knew her job. This was my friends first experience as well and she said she will never go back. They need to have some consistency and help new employees more instead of getting frustrated at her. Then when guests were asking for their drinks one employee said this doesn't come with one and then the guests said I paid for one and still had to check her receipt. So disappointing. read more

Lets talk about the SERVICE: worst ever!!! first of all when we got there it was 9:50 and they close at 10:00 so one of the employees say that we're closed and we go NO its not 10:00 yet!!! Second of all: we give our order and the Employeee was soo rude!! no talking manners Lastely we were about to eat there and he said NO not here we are closed!!! i mean we are in there and we are not alowed to eat at there tables!!!! i mean WHO does that. And one more thing: we had two seperate orders and they pack everything together. and when we told that lady who worked there that we ordered seperate she says ok give it back to me so i can seperate them. WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!!! that doesnt make any sense!!. SO IF I WERE YOU I WOULDNT GO THERE TO BE HUMILIATED read more

This is a dream boat of a LJS. Big restaurant, easy to find, friendly employees, and the delicious LJS food you'd expect.

Man, I used to love Long John Silver's when I was a kid. Now, it's just one frozen fish filet doused in a pound of batter, quickly fried and then thrown into your meal (yes, it is still dripping with oil when it lands in your plate...I think that's why they put those little crunchies in there for you). Super heavy and super dense...it's tough to enjoy these things again. I still do like their hushpuppies though. Yummy. When we got to this location they seemed to be out of everything at 8pm on a Monday night. Even Tartar sauce (yeah, you may crave that on top of your 500 calorie battered fish!) read more

I went around 3pm with my brothers on Saturday. It was not really busy as we dined in. I ordered the super sampler while my brother ordered the fish, chicken, and shrimp platter; both platters were only $8.99. Monica D. was our cashier. She was very nice, friendly, and approachable. She did not mind our questions about the food items as she was also very patient. She brought our food to our booth when it was ready and noticed that one of the pieces of chicken they gave me was small. She stated that she will give me another one along with the pieces of shrimp that they forgot to include on my platter. I will also do the surgery that is on my receipt just so that I could give Monica some props. :) read more

Store looked clean on the inside, menu has a good selection and prices are very reasonable. Food was very satisfying and service was quick. Staff could be a little more friendly and approachable. The gentlemen who helped me had his back to me the majority of the time. Other than that I would say I had a pretty positive experience. read more

I never like to leave knee-jerk reviews. I realize all businesses have their good and bad days. No one's perfect. That being said, I'll describe yesterday's experience. The food was coming out VERY slow. Most of us were waiting 15-20 minutes, when lo and behold, new food finally did come out. But it was with an employee on her break. The rest of us still had to wait quite a while. I know employee have to eat and have to take their breaks at set times. But it didn't go over well at all. That's something that would NEVER happen at a restaurant that put customers first. read more

worker was super rude! i was in the drive through and i only ordered three meals and the lady was super upset for no reason and when we got up to get our food after paying she said wait two minutes and slammed the window in our face. she was already rude through the speaker so i was her to see how she was in the window and it was completely gross. as me being a fast food worker i know good service and bad service when i see it. couldn't catch her name but it was still very horrible service. read more

The customer service from the drive thru window was good but the service was slow. The gentleman at the window was accurate and friendly. However, the manager was extremely unprofessional and rude. I found hair in two separate bags of food. I will never return! read more

Don't understand the low reviews here, I think people are just unable to be pleased in general. I come here a few times a year and have never been disappointed. The quality is great for fast food and the people in the drive thru have always been pleasant and super attentive. I've never had an issue with my orders and that's rare because I never can find a place to get my order right. The line doesn't take long but it depends on the time of day you come. I just wish they had more of these in town. read more

Every single time I would go there matter how many times I go there it's absolutely disgusting with How much a ripoff it is too when you get food it is no matter what always undercooked with chewy chicken and fish that cannot be eaten without chewing it like chewing gum I don't recommend getting this if only for lunch not dinner for a family always uncooked!!! read more

Really hate to leave this review cause I love long John silvers, but waiting 30 minutes in a drive thru is not acceptable. The food doesn't even take 30 minutes to cook. read more

We ate here on Good Friday, I been hooked on the cob & shrimp meal special. When received my order realized ordered the wrong meal and dinner (after 4pm) Manager on duty gladly corrected my order with no problem. He fixed it for me and I Thank him for the wonderful customer service and customer satisfaction. As always the meal was so delicious. I will be back again and again. read more

Had some fish and fries here the other day. The fried food was just about how I eggspected. But the whole ambience of grease just permeates the whole place. I get that the food is fried and all, I think that is why I seldom partake in LJS. The restaurant appeared to be clean on the surface. Nice enough people taking care of customers. read more

Out if tea, out of fries, out of shrimp. rude employees. they take the order then inform us of all of this. I'm surprised this place is even open any more. if you don't know how to order product or thaw out product you have no business being open. read more

This location is lousy. Always filthy, and always subpar on the food preparation. Long John's isn't high-brow cuisine, but you can tell you're not working with a well managed store when the same problems persist over the years. It's fast food; these are not the same employees making these mistakes. It's the management. read more

The food was just nasty. I hope I don't spend the evening in the bathroom. Smelled like soda pop spilled some place and was never cleaned up. read more

Every two or three years I try Long John Silvers again. I think out of curiosity just to see if the food has gotten better. It hasn't. Still the same awful greasy food. You would think I would have learned by now. Probably see you again in two or three years. read more

Fish hot , fries hot , puppie hot , staff was very attentive

Awful...tables and windows were filthy and the bathroom was disgusting floors were soaking wet urinals overflowing no paper towels ..service was ok ..but first time last time.. read more

The service has always been good for me, but today me and my son went there for lunch. We walked in and there was a girl at the counter. There was no hello, no greeting whatsoever!!. We stood checking out the menu, still she's standing there just talking to her co worker about "school", 2 minutes later still no acknowledgement from her at all, 3 minutes later the other girl looks out yet they continue to talk still no acknowledgement, 5 minutes later (we timed them) still NOTHING. So we walked out and called the manager. Who proceeded to tell us how sorry she was and to come back and get a free meal and she would talk to them. Really? I don't think so. Will be a very long time (if ever) I go back there. read more

I've been going to long John Silvers restaurants for years. Never in my life have I ordered an add a clam and received half a box of fish crackle. I ordered it to go and went back when I discovered the obvious error. I was told that thus was standard long John's procedure. It may be at this location but not at any other I've encountered. I would definitely not recommend this location! read more

I remember eat Long John Silver before I was diagnose with Celiac disease Back in 2005 when I was 22 years old I miss eat Long John Silver I wish they serve gluten free fish and fries . read more

Absolutely got disrespected after paying for food and asking a question about a prior issue the "manager" Jeanette K started yelling at me in front of angel a employee at the drive thru window I paid for my food all I wanted was to see what was being done so no more screws ended up in anyone else food and the disrespect that I received was uncalled for and extremely unprofessional manner the so called manager is a reason why the place should be shut down thanks again for your horrible horrible service I wish negative stars existed and after telling she stated I probably put the screws in the fish really I wasn't asking for free anything I can't believe the level of disrespect and the poor employee Angel had to watch and later apologized for the "manager" read more

Went through the drive thru and ordered the cod and shrimp and ordered two sides cole slaw and fries with a sprite to drink. Didn't check my bag until I got home which I live off of olive drive and noticed they gave me lemonade and only fries as a side. I'm very disappointed in my food for not getting the order I wanted and spending over $20 in food. I won't be going back. read more

After my visit to Los Cabos Pupusas House-for those pupusa's are my dinner. (SURPRISE hubby!!) I written a review on them..... I came here seeing their $5 3 piece Chicken meal deal with additional sides. I thought: Okay lunch sealed. I came over here using their drive through. Mind you, I haven't been to Long John's since I left Bakersfield almost a year ago. I order the meal deal through the drive thru. It was kinda hard to hear the girl thru the speaker and wasn't very clear on what options were on the side were to be available. So I took a guess and order the onion rings and coleslaw. Okay, yay! I wasn't denied the sides I chose. I drove up first window-nobody. Okay, I'll drive up to the second window. After a few minutes, the girl took my card, paid my order and shut the window. Waited for about 5 minutes and got my order. My order came too hot to eat. Which is fine. Hey fresh is better than here to go out the door you go. Funnily enough, I used to LOVE their batter, and it was used on their onion rings which I didn't really care for. Such a major let down!! Parts of the onion were thick, but I didn't really care for their batter. Their chicken was good. I'm surprised at that. I used to get real thin and small chicken tenders and this time it was an actual chicken side. The coleslaw was decent. The hash puppies were a bit oily for me. For the $5 3 piece chicken full meal was a pretty decent meal. I'm sorry to see that the Rosedale location is no more. :( read more

I just got curious about this restaurant so I tried it for the first time. Bought the chicken and fish platter #2 and I got 1 less fish and 1 less chicken. The taste is ok, nothing special. It is overpriced considering the serving size. Not going to try it again. read more
