Update: there is a young black gentleman that is working here now at least he seems pleasant and genuinely likes helping people. Fish tacos still on point! So I love their food but seriously I just paid $3.09 for like 10 clam strips?!???! Seriously?!?!!! Thankfully I got something else to eat too or I'd be starving! One thing I will say tho their fish tacos are amazing! read more

Long John Silver's - Fast Food Near Me - North Highlands, California

Food is good. When we ordered food via DoorDash, they screwed up our order. First, we received fries instead of green beans and they forgot our shrimp. This location is notorious for screwing up orders--especially through the drive-thru. I would probably return, but check your bag people! You WILL find a mistake. I don't recommend ordering Long Johns through DoorDash or any other delivery service. read more

WORST OF THE WORST! If I could give negative stars I would! First off they are VERY unfriendly. There was one friendly fellow there, but he left. Second thing, they ALWAYS screw up my order. ALL THE TIME! Maybe it's not bad inside, but if you go through the drive thru, forget it! Homeless always hanging around outside. Not very clean inside. After tonight, I will never return. read more

Best long john silvers in terms of customer service and quality of food. I received my food promptly and it was hot and fresh. LJS always hits the seafood craving spot. read more

Nice looking new place. Unfortunately cleanliness does not seem to be a priority here, as there were unclean tables. Food was really good though. I had the fish cod with shrimp combo platter and wife had grilled salmon bowl, but the sauce was too sweet. Servers were nice. read more

0 Stars. This was the absolute worst food I've had in a very long time. Nothing was freshly cooked. Seemed all old and heated in microwave. It tasted awful. The fish was heavy, soaked in oil, and tasted bad. Fries were stiff. Its obvious when fries have been reheated and these definitely were. Not even the hush puppies were fresh or good. I hardly ate any of it because I was afraid of food poisoning. Spent $30 on 3 meals that did not include drinks and was missing vegetables from one meal. The building is run down, dirty and a mess. I was in the drive through and could see right in to the office which was a disaster mess and even though there was no one else in the drive through or lobby the entire serving area had crumbs and dirt. I should have just left when I noticed that. It's sad because I've always loved Long John Silver's and now I will never eat here again. read more

Ive never been to this location, only the one on Northgate. I visited the drive thru today for chicken strips. I was happy with the food, tasted like it had just been cooked. The young man at the window was extremely polite and professional and got me my order in a minimum of time. Probably the best Long John's I've ever been to in terms of customer service and quality of food. read more

This is probably my favorite Long John Silver's in the entire Sacramento area. I was here yesterday for their new (as of 2018) Sunday all you can eat buffet, which happens until 7pm. Oh wow, a huge improvement over the Long John Silver's closer to my home. The one by my home makes you re-use your disposable plates when you want more food, and makes you have to ask the employees to refill soda for you. This location here, provides a clean disposable plate with every new food order refill, AND we can refill our own soda. Oh wow! Not to mention, the place is clean inside, the employee was friendly, the food looks fresh as can be. Just check out my yelp photo: I think this is the most presentable I've ever seen a Long John Silver's plate some grub. All the food was amazing. This location is pretty epic for a yummy Sunday evening $9.99 all you can eat buffet. read more

I haven't been to a Long John Silver's in decades. The last time I ate at one it was greasy and gross. I decided to try one because I saw a long line. I figured because of the kind the food must be OK. In one word - NOPE. Greasy disgusting crap. The shrimp, chicken, hush puppies and diamond shape fish all tasted the same - like old smelly grease. How does this place like this remain in business? Oh I did get a Coke and a coleslaw. Those were ok. read more

This location is the best. I seriously enjoyed our meal and to the manager ( wished I would of got his name) you sir are doing an amazing work with your staff and service. Super clean, fast and our food was perfect. read more

Excessive amount of oil left in the fish. Taste like it was put into the bag straight out of the fryer. No time given to let some of the grease drip off. Ruined the taste of the fish, couldn't eat it. Ended up throwing it in the garbage. read more

Went here about a week ago on a Sunday and ordered a fish sandwich. Fish was CLEARLY a couple hours old, perhaps leftover from the buffet they now offer. Can't believe they actually served it, smh. read more

I was very happy with the service here. A young man by the name of Nathan works here. You can tell that he takes pride in his job. He was very courteous, and he has the restaurant looking spotless. The food was tasty too. Thank you Nathan for the amazing customer service!! read more

Wow!! will never go there again!!! Ordered fish/shrimp combo with 1 extra fish and side of slaw. Got 3 piece no slaw or soda no receipt. Was told soda isn't included with meal. Google it! Got crap about it I went back within 10 mins of getting bad order. Bad on me to expect a food order and not have to prove I bought it. When food was in Long Johns bag!! Have to laugh tho. My dog wouldn't even eat the shrimp. Says a lot about elkhorn Long Johns. Good job manager of elkhorn long johns.... Not really!!! Would not recommend!! read more

I have passed by this place for years and never eaten here until today. I was pleasantly surprised with the service and food quality. It is very close to what I remember from the 1970s. I will be going back again. read more

This place is actually good. Lets be honest though, definitely not the best fish an chips that I have tried, but for the price - definitely well worth it. We paid a little over $15 for 3 fish, with 2 sides, and a salmon side order. Service is outstanding as well. The young man behind the counter was very polite and professional. The place is clean and plenty of parking. Definitely recommended. read more

Chicken, fish, hush puppies so tasty. Our food was fresh hot and delicious. Yes its an older building and lot in a not so great area but the food is spot on. Its you're typicall long johns good ol fashion fried food. Love it read more

This is NOT the same great LJS we have had for years it has changed for the worst ! 2 people running the whole place ? Slow service ! The coleslaw is terrible , the place is dirty , the bathrooms are locked and you have to ask for a code. read more

The food was hot and fresh. The man who helped up at the counter was very friendly and very nice to my son. I don't get fast food often at all but this was the best one in town and really pleasant experience. Will be back more often read more

Customer service sucks. Rude workers. Terrible . They need to work on their attitudes. Won't return. Food was ok. If I could give them zero stars I would. read more

I was fortunate enough to secure a table at LJ Silver's (located in the Highlands of the North) on a Saturday evening in hopes of indulging in one of the multi-course culinary adventures that I had heard so much about from the lads on the Polo fields. Alas, on this particular evening, I was informed by the Maitre D' that the numbers presented on the menu did not refer to the number of  courses but rather a quaint way to expedite the ordering process. I assume this was due to the absence of all the servers. I asked to consult with the Executive Chef regarding the menu but after receiving blank stares I can only assume he was on holiday overseas. Tonight's meal would instead be prepared by teenagers in paper hats. Not one to pass on a new culinary concept, I played along and soon found myself in front of a mechanical dispenser of beverages which was referred to as a "fountain" (the Sommelier must have certainly been on holiday as well). I found the 2016 Sprite a delightful departure from the traditional light whites, like Vouvray from France's Loire valley. With its delightful effervescent presence it paired well with the batter Fried clams and les chiots de hush. Oh, and the fried cod...how transcendent could it be? Well, it was so flavorful that it seemed to have been procured in a more verdant universe. The exquisitely balanced tartar sauce gave it a subtle zing. Overall, the dining experience was not wondrous 100 percent of the time. At times it seemed too intent on culinary adventure with its numbers (such as "four" and "six" and the oh so cheeky "two") in place of the traditional descriptions of dishes provided by a server. Yes, yes: LJ Silvers suffers somewhat by comparison with the Michelin rated affairs, however getting a reservation may still require a degree of planning and effort. Perhaps you too will someday be able to ring the bell of Sir Long John upon your exit of this house of seafood delights...and chicken. read more

Ho, fair traveler! While I cannot vouch for any of their other establishments, save for the Long John Silvers in Ontario California, I have been frequenting this bastion of North Highlands posterity since 99/2000, before they switched to Pepsi and remodeled their entire look. You can rest assured that you are talking to an expert of the deep fried gastronomical field. Verily, my research is incomparable! The food is still fresh and deep fried; I have noticed that over the years, the hotness of the food has dwindled over time. It is still fresher than McDonalds or KFC, to be sure! Their prices has increased since I started going there, however, the key is to either get their coupons or buy a combo basket (which comes with a drink) and add pieces a la cart where you see fit to sate your rather curious needs! Their combo platters are wonderful, yet pricey. A caveat for you, intrepid reader, is that they DO NOT come with a drink! Make sure you are prepared to battle such treachery! If you love fried things, you owe it to yourself to make the trip here and nosh on the delicious feast that awaits you. Make sure to bring your passport, for you will be surely entering flavor country! Business and pleasure mixed via sublime batter dipped chicken strips and hushpuppies! XXOO Michael...! read more

TRANS FAT!!! 3.5 grams per piece of fish, and even more in the fries. This place should be ashamed of itself for being one of the restaurants that is very resistant to change for the welfare of others. I've contacted owners and management years ago, four to be exact, and they responded saying they are working on a batter and oil combination that is compatible to their taste... I guess it's not possible. I guess this explains the stomach aches I usually get after eating here, that is before I discovered how disgustingly unhealthy their food is. You are better off eating two big macs at that rate. Expect to pay top dollar for good tasting fried fish... for a healthier and cheaper alternative I'd buy the frozen fish at the grocery and bake them myself. read more

I purchase a family meal and I asked for a lot of Tartar sauce because they are small packets. The guy at the drive up tells me he can only give me 6. I said there is eight pieces of fish. I then asked him if I could buy more and he said no because they are running out of boxes. Seriously. 40.00 worth of fish and clams and they would not give enough sauce for all of the food. It has been years since eating here and it will be years before I go back too. read more

This place didn't disappoint! I got the cod and shrimp. Shrimp had a lot of breading, but also a lot of meat. Cod was excellent, better than a. Lot of fish and chips places I've been too. Servings were good size. Next time I'm definitely going to try the onion rings! read more

Good place to eat especially near my house, and affordable. The hush puppies are great.

I just placed an order for 4 different people only received two. I told the lady at the drive thru 3 orders of the shrimp and fish told her the sides. I hit to the window only received the 2 like I stated. The woman was on the phone told her I ordered a total of four, so I paid for the other 2. I had to wait still got my order WRONG! Guess what the drive thru person was still talking on her cell phone. She shouldn't be on her phone while dealing with customers. POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE no excuse to be on the phone. read more

Not the same LJS it used to be. The whole place seems like it could use a wash, inside and out. The food is usually pretty good, but the customer service is a joke! I do not know the woman's name, but she is the one that is usually up front, taking drive-through and walk-in orders. I promise you, you will know who I am talking about if you go in. If they want repeat business, they will not get it with an employee like that working there. She acted like I was bothering her. I love my LJS, but will find another location to frequent. Shame:( read more

A depressing experience. Food had been made ahead of time and was not hot. So I ate some of the cold fish and fry's and threw the rest away as I was listening to the old Christmas music that was coming from the outdated music system. Yech!!! read more

find a coupon or else you will just expect too much. deep fried seafood with a vengeance, i love it. i may be the only person on the planet who enjoys this, but i look forward to long john silvers coupons in the mail. dont forget to ring the bell for good service! read more

Definitely not the healthiest thing to eat but it sure is really tasty. I love the chicken, hush puppies & crunchys as my daughter calls them. (Fried batter off the food) Yummy! read more

Very clean, order taker was a very professional and friendly young man. Food was hot, plentiful, and good value. Hadn't been there in years. Excellent experience. read more

$12 for fish, chicken and shrimp. I don't mind, if the food is edible. The chicken was so dry I had to give it to my . The shrimp was old, like it had been cooked earlier that day. I wouldn't give it to my . read more

Ok, Ok... the food is good, but at what price. Every time I eat at this place my stomach is in pain for the next three hours because of the mass of fried food that is digested. I like to go here every once in a great while... mainly because I hate the repercussions. read more

So good. I have no idea how LJS always manages to be so delicious, but I appreciate it very much.

Great food that is fresh, employees are friendly and helpful. Service is fast. Facility is clean.

I'm torn on how to go about this review. My first experience here was HORRIBLE. The next couple visits went well... I'll average it at about 3 stars overall. The first time I went it was about 9pm. We pulled up and there was one person ahead of us in the drive thru. We were the only 2 cars and the place looked dark and closed. We waited about 5 minutes before the person in front of us rolled down their window and gave their order. When we finally get up to the speaker, we waited about 3 minutes for someone to say something. Nothing. We started saying "hello"... nothing. If my cousin hadn't REALLY wanted their fish, I would of been done right then. Seriously, 10 minutes goes by without a word. Finally, the girl responds. We give our order and another couple minutes goes by. She eventually responds and repeats the order all wrong. We go over the very simple order again and she gets it. We pull up behind the first car (they're still waiting at the window). By this time it's been like 15 minutes. Another 5 minutes and we finally get up to the window. She's apologetic, but in a snarky way. Our food came super quick and we were gone. It was pretty irritating. The food is typical Long John Silver's. Hella greasy, but good. The next two times I went it was a normal drive-thru experience. :) Maybe that first time was just a bad night? read more

Oh my goodness never will I frequent this establishment again. I have friends/ family that agree the food is gross and staff extremely rude! Let's start with the customer service. The girl that gave me my order (I wish I knew her name!) was extremely disrespectful! She asked with attitude do you want plates? I said yes she's like OK I know! I asked can I get forks too, and she barked "wait a minute!" I ordered a family meal that was nearly $30 for God's sake! I think its OK if I ask for plates and forks. If I hadn't of paid for my food already I would of threw it at her. She seemed disgusted to be serving me when I was polite the whole time. Drive home annoyed by the bad experience and to top it off the food is disgusting! Very greasy, French fries cold, thick batter barely and fish. Eww me thinks not. Will never make the mistake of eating there again and I am filing a complaint on the rude worker! read more

The same store Manager on duty for my last two visits is the most UN-customer service oriented manager I've ever had the misfortune of dealing with. My previous visit was served stale food, my last order was over charged. Never an apology, never a visit to the table to ask if the meal is ok. He always has the air about him that the mistakes made are an inconvenience to him. It's no wonder there is never any business there even at peak hours. Needless to say, I'll never go there again. He would much rather figure out why you're wrong then just fix the problem read more
