Long John Silver's is a go-to destination for seafood lovers who want a satisfying meal without the sit-down restaurant price tag. What stands out is their focus on responsibly sourced, wild-caught fish like Alaska pollock and Pacific cod. Their menu also goes well beyond the classic fish and chips, too. You can now get grilled platters, chicken tenders, sides, and their famous hush puppies in the current lineup.
The pricing is another big reason customers keep coming back. You can get a typical fast-food value meal of entrée, side, and drink for under $20. Their combo meal with a drink, fries, coleslaw, or hush puppies, and two chicken tenders is a good deal for just above $10.
At the end of the day, it's still fast food; there will always be folks who love it and others who just aren't into it. But in our opinion, for those who are looking for a cheap, filling meal and happen to have an LJS nearby, it's worth a try.
Whenever you have questions about your order or the menu, the easiest way to get answers is by calling your local Long John Silver's directly. This works especially well for shoppers who need details. This might include ingredient lists for allergy concerns or if a seasonal promo is actually available at that branch. Since menus and promotions vary, a quick call upfront can help you avoid driving over for a discount that isn't even available there.
That said, it's worth knowing that customer experience does vary between locations. We've seen shoppers cite meals being overly greasy or served cold in their Facebook reviews. However, service and quality depend almost entirely on how each individual franchise is run. A tip we stay true to is to take a brief look inside the bag before pulling away from the drive-thru window. This can help you resolve a missing item or a cold order right away. Much easier than dealing with it once you are away from the store or at home. In case the problem is much more serious, and you want to let them know about it, you can let them know on the Customer Feedback Page.
Long John Silver's regularly shares promo codes and limited-time discounts across their social media pages. Instagram is one of their most active channels. This is where we catch new promotions like the latest promo code for $2 off any Variety Platter.
Beyond their main accounts, it's also worth following your local LJS on Facebook. You have a better chance of finding location-specific promotions and daily specials there. However, we would avoid their X account altogether, especially since it has been inactive for a few years now.

For shoppers who are loyal customers of LJS, make sure to join the Seacret Society Rewards program. As a member, you'll get access to special promos, member-only rewards, and coins. Coins are basically points-style currency that you can redeem to save up to $10 off your purchase. You can also use them to get free menu items.
The best part is that it is completely free. You can sign up directly on their website or through the LJS mobile app, and the process takes just a couple of minutes. As a welcome bonus, new members get a free basket on their first order of $5 or more, too!
For those who are ordering for a big family, this program is a must. Every $1 spent earns you four coins. This means the coins rack up quickly when you're placing larger orders or visiting multiple times a month. But is it still worth signing up as a member when you rarely place an order with them? In our opinion, yes, since the points you get can last for a year. That's plenty of time to rack up enough points for a free side or one Add a Piece.
Getting free food at Long John Silver's is easier than you might think. After picking up your order, take a quick look at your receipt. You'll usually find an invitation to complete a short guest survey. Just visit the survey website, enter your local store and ticket numbers from the receipt, and answer a few questions about your visit. Once you're done, you'll receive a promo code for a free food item to redeem on your next trip.
The exact freebie depends on your location and what's available, but it's often a free order of Fish Fries or a one-piece Fish and Fries meal. Plus, the survey only takes about 10 minutes, so you can knock it out while watching TV or even while waiting in line. Your receipt is valid for 14 days from the date of purchase, so don't throw it away. Tuck it into your wallet or snap a photo before it gets crumpled and forgotten. Once you finish the survey, you'll get a promo code that's good for 90 days at participating locations. That allows you plenty of time to plan your next visit around the freebie.

Go to your shopping cart to start the checkout process.

We've found that Long John Silver's biggest sales window runs during Lent, from February to April. This timing is no coincidence; to capitalize on the surge in seafood orders, they roll out some deals such as:
$6 Shrimp baskets
$10 Shrimp Sea-Shares
Since these menus can give you up to 15 pieces for less than $10, they are a considerable value. This makes them a great pick for feeding a family.
Long John Silver's loves marking the calendar with playful, one-day promotions that turn a regular meal into a fun experience. For their anniversary, we've seen them roll out a $7.99 all-you-can-eat special. Shoppers with a serious appetite will hardly find a better value than their Anniversary Sale.
But the most beloved single-day event has to be Talk Like a Pirate Day. Every year, during September 19th, talk like a pirate when you place your order, and you'll walk away with a free piece of fish or chicken. For those who are more willing to commit a little harder and dress like a pirate, the reward levels up to a free 2-piece basket.
Since these single-day promotions are rarely announced far in advance, social media is the best place to catch them. For those who follows them on social media, turn on your push notifications to not miss out.
