The food was fresh and hot. The fish was crispy, so were the shrimp and chicken, and the fries were great. Nothing was overly greasy or salty, and the coleslaw and hush puppies were excellent and I don't even like coleslaw.
My order was missing a hush puppy and they put two individual orders of hush puppies in one box which caused an issue at home, but outside of that nothing to complain about.

Amazing fish and chicken along with the hush puppies and coleslaw!! They made it right and fresh and tasted so good as I remembered from years ago! Shout out to the team at the store for making my LJS experience the best one in years! Portions and requests were perfectly made! Thanks again

I ordered long distance but the store went by my instructions on double wrapping/insulating their wonderful food. Arrived as warm as is physically possible, crispy, succulent.
Don't let those "English" "pubs" in Chicago ruin your fish & chips with their dry fish batter and their quote/unquote Proper chips. 1/2 of my family are English/British, so I know a bit about this meal. LJS, counterintuitive perhaps, really is a better "Chippie" than anything else in greater Chitown, at least measured by my experiences. The waffle fries (chips) when they're hot) are good but more not a dealbreaker for the splendidly battered Fish, Chicken & Shrimp Platter. Good coleslaw & hush puppies round it out nicely. As the adage goes: "Appearences can sometimes be deceiving."

I haven't had Long John's in years. But just tasting my3 Chicken Meal it brought back good memories. On the whole it was a good meal and the pieces of chicken was a good size not anemic. Will definitely order from them again

The chicken was terrible. It tasted like it had be sitting under a heater for hours. Same with the hush puppies. The coleslaw did not taste like it was fresh. Very disappointed with the entire order.
