    Fish meal
    Neng Y.

    I find myself at Long John Silver's once a year after not too sure what to order from anywhere else! Today, the fish was a bit too salty and "over all" the meal just feels like a good tv box dinner; leaving much more to be desired. The wifey always enjoys the hush puppy and shrimp and raves about them. Overall just a solid three stars for me.

    Fish & Chicken with two sides, no fries

    This was my favorite place to eat at the last 25 years, even though they don't except certain coupons or promotions listed on the website. But this time I see it has really gone down in quality. I ordered the fish & chicken platter, with two sides. No small containers for the sides, no fries and hardly any crunchy batter from the fry. And they put everything in a styrofoam container. The chicken was actually smaller and fish was thinner. And the corn I don't believe was even cooked. It taste like it was spooned right out the can, cold. Now one thing I did enjoy was the Popcorn Shrimp side order. It's not shown, because I ate them all before I arrived home. This is the only location around and, I might not be back no time soon. Next stop Bubba Shrimp!

    Fish and checked is good but batter is a bit salty. Pitt for the only Long John Silver in town.

    This is the manager running away.

    My girlfriend and I each ordered a platter from them. When the order came out I specifically asked them to make sure there was silverware, napkins, and condiments for both of our meals since they put both in one bag instead of giving us each one. There was no eating in the mall so we had to bring it out to the truck which was half way across and one level down. On getting to the truck lo and behold no silverware. I had to leave my girlfriend in the truck while I went all the way back to get utensils which meant I was going to get cold food. When I got back the girls working thought it was funny and had the audacity to laugh at me. They started joking around about how it was the others fault. I told them it wasn't a laughing matter and that I wanted a manager immediately. They said there was no manager and said no one could help. When I insisted that the store did not magically open itself which meant someone was in charge they immediately got on the phone with a manager and took my name and number and said the manager (Davinia (sp?)) would be in very soon and call me as soon as she got in. Ate my cold food and walked around the mall and after 4 hours of no one calling I went back to speak with them again. The manager right away said I was lying about the incident and that I was being rude to her and her staff and she could show it to me on video if I wanted. I stated I would very much like to see this video which would definitely prove I wasn't lying and that the girls did in fact laugh at me. I told her I am a veteran of the Army and have never lied in my life. She then refused to show me any video and instead turned to the girls and asked them if this was true. This told me two things... firstly that she lied about watching any video and secondly that she had made her mind up long before ever meeting me and had no intention of calling me back. After the girls flat out admitted they laughed at me the manager then stated "you are a grown man and you should be able to handle that". At that point I asked for her manager or a corporate number I could contact and she refused to give me either. She told me I should Google it. As soon as I pulled out my phone she literally ran into the back so I couldn't get a video of the way she was acting and her employee followed her as well into the back refusing to come out while I was there. I was not asking for a full refund only for a small percentage off for having to eat my meal cold and for her to talk with her staff about remembering to put utensils in. Since this was apparently rude to ask of them I am instead doing a charge back on my credit card for the full amount and will be contacting corporate customer service, as well as posting about the experience everywhere I can. I would call out to all of my fellow veterans and anyone with honor and integrity to make sure you do not give this place a single penny as they do not deserve to stay in business acting like this over such a simple request to do the right thing.

    We were excited to find a Long John Silvers at MOA. Perhaps this might be the only one in Minnesota. We always enjoyed their food. It's good seafood. Our plates was delicious and hot. The shrimp was very large and delicious. Hush puppies and fish were good. Just wish they were closer to home.

    This is classic bad-for-you-but-doesn't-even-taste-that-good fast food. Located in one of the food courts at the Mall of America, which I think actually has a Bloomington address. I had heard some not-so-bad things about LJS, so I was curious, never ever having tried it in my life. In my distant adolescence, I remember Arthur Treacher's Fish & Chips on the east coast, which wasn't nearly this bad. The batter was crisp, but oily, a bit soggy, and not enjoyable. The fish was poor FF quality, the fried shrimps in my platter mostly doughy batter, and the hush puppies were lame. The fries were OK FF quality. Oh, coleslaw not too bad, like KFC's. And all this bad food was like $9. No mo LJS for me!

    Fish and shrimp, it looks good so is the taste
    Linda L.

    Come here to have lunch, I know it's a fast food place but it taste very good, it fresh, hot and juicy.

    Fish, shrimp, and chicken platter.
    Molly B.

    I got the fish, shrimp, and chicken combo. The breading on all tastes like the oil very much needs to be changed. There was so much grease the chicken and fish was very hard to tell apart.

    I did not expect gourmet food, but seriously... refried fish, chicken, basically everything... Accompanied by the fried remains of fryer... 1st and last time!

The inside is beautiful and made for a really nice dining experience. We started with the Eichten's cheese curds, and they were excellent. They were soft on the inside, some had a great cheese pull, and the spicy dipping sauce paired really well with them. I ordered the Flat Iron Frites. The steak was seasoned well, cooked nicely, and didn't have much fat, which I appreciated. The fries were crispy and came with house-made ketchup. I usually don't even like ketchup, but this one was actually really good. My partner ordered the deviled eggs as his appetizer, and he enjoyed them so much he finished them in no time. For dessert, we had the Strawberry Shortcake Crème Brûlée, and it was fantastic. I've never had crème brûlée like that before. It was a unique twist on a classic dessert and ended the meal perfectly. The only small downside was that the complimentary water tasted clean and fresh. But it was warm instead of cold. Overall, the food, atmosphere, and service made for a great experience, and I'd happily return. Glad i was able to cross this one off of my list.
