Why Locals Love Long John Silver's | A&W

Long John Silver's | A&W at 4670 W Broad St in Columbus, OH, brings the classic fast-food seafood and chicken experience to life with a deliciously satisfying menu perfect for takeout cravings. Specializing in handbattered Alaska pollock and all-white meat chicken, this location excels in delivering that golden, crispy texture paired with tender, flavorful interiors that Long John Silver's is known for.

Seafood lovers will find the Variety Platters especially enticing — the Fish & Chicken Platter offers two pieces of their signature Alaska pollock alongside three crispy chicken pieces, all fried to a perfect crunch and served with hushpuppies and individual-sized sides that balance the meal beautifully. Alternatively, the Fish & Shrimp Platter mixes delicate pollock with golden shrimp, delivering an ocean-fresh taste that’s both hearty and comforting.

The Add-A-Piece options make it easy to customize your order, whether it’s a single piece of fish, a juicy chicken piece, or their crackling Clam Strips — a snack that stands out with its delightful crunch and savory flavor. For families or larger groups, the Family Meals (offering 8 or 12 pieces) provide a generous spread, featuring customizable combinations of pollock and chicken, paired with two large sides and plenty of hushpuppies to share, making them perfect for gatherings and informal dinners.

The kitchen crafts each order freshly, frying each piece to golden perfection, which means a short wait is rewarded with satisfying, flavorful bites.

I don't think you can go inside to order/eat at this location and from the looks of it they're definitely under staffed. But the lady working the drive thru was super nice. We had to wait like 6 mins because they made everything while we waited which I didn't care. She heard us debating on if we had malt vinegar at home and threw some in the bag in case we didn't. Her kindness and how good the food was made me not even care that we didn't get what we ordered sis hooked us up tho bc we got way more than what we ordered even though we didn't get a couple items we ordered, it wasn't worth complaining. The food fresh and good and the service was great.

I was in there Friday around 7pm as a door dasher picking up an order. There was another dasher there. 1 customer waiting on an order about 3 cars in the drive thru line. Only 2 workers . 2 Amazing ladies they looked to be in their 50's. 1 was working the headset handling the drive thru while also working the food line preparing the food and packaging orders. The Other Lady was working the front counter while also working the food line and packaging orders. They were also dropping fresh food and double checking orders. A lady came in a little frustrated because she had been asked to pull around from the drive thru and she thought they forgot about her. They were actively working on her order it was just a large order. They were so Polite and they worked so well together. I go into restaurants all over the city. I see places with 6 to 8 workers handling the same situation and they don't do nearly as well. If every Company had a Team of workers like those 2 ladies with a few more workers...As a dasher I unassigned orders all the time at other Restaurants because I get frustrated waiting . I'm standing there watching a whole crew of people not doing their jobs. They are outside smoking , on their phones, standing around talking, or playing. I waited the few extra minutes for this Long John Silvers order because I was so impressed just watching how good these ladies were. Got my order, and it was kind of a big order. I watched them box it. Everything was fresh and Hot. Can't say enough good things about these Ladies. Other than some small Family owned places I go in Dashing... These 2 Ladies are the best teamwork I have ever seen . As a dasher I avoid some Restaurants because I know its gonna be all bad. I can say if I ever get an order from that Long John Silvers I will always accept it . As a dasher who has done over 5000 deliveries. You can imagine how many restaurants I have been in and have seen how they work. I don't go write reviews about everything but once again was so impressed by these ladies.

First shift staff member (aka the only member on staff to open) was an absolute delight to be helped by this morning. She was a polite blessing. Timing was quick, food was fresh, and she was so kind. Give her a raise

First time having Long John's. We were greeted as soon as we walked in. The kind lady at the counter was patient answering our questions and took our order smoothly. The lady cooking also was so sweet and kind. The food was hot and delicious. We had grilled shrimp and fried shrimp and coleslaw, it was all delicious! The ladies working made such a great experience for us!
