The restaurant floors and tables were dirty and covered in trash.

Business reply on Google

Hi Erin — we’re really sorry you walked into a restaurant that wasn’t clean. Trash on the floors and tables that were dirty is absolutely not the kind of experience we want you to have at Long John Silver’s, and it sounds like you were left dealing with it instead of getting taken care of right away. Please fill out this form https://go.momos.com/YIu4f so our team can reach out and follow up with you as soon as we can. Hope you’ll give us another chance to make it right next time.

The food served was crumbled and unrecognizable.

Business reply on Google

Hi Bri—oh no. That sounds like the fish and fries you got were really off, like the pieces weren’t cooked or served in a way you could actually enjoy, and the plate ended up being a mess. We’re sorry that this wasn’t the quality you expected from Long John Silver’s. Please fill out https://go.momos.com/SmvkP so our team can follow up and make this right.

The meal portion size was insufficient for the price paid.

Business reply on Google

Hi Jessica — that doesn’t sound like good value at all, and you’re right to be frustrated. Long John Silver’s should’ve given you a fuller meal for what you paid, and we missed the mark. Please fill out this form https://go.momos.com/xPBTf so our team can follow up and make it right. Hope to see you again soon.
