Hello I am a formal employee at long John silver in urbandale iowa. I was hired as a cashier and I was accused of something I didn’t do and was fired for it. I have a learning disability so it take a while for me to comprehend things and I would ask for help and they would get mad. If the boss likes you you can do what ever you want there. Employees smoke vapes in the building. They steal food. They are very rude. Most of all I feel as if I was fired for my learning disabilities

The food is great. I made a online delivery order and a good portion of my order was not delivered. This isn't their problem but I called to notify them I need the rest of my order and was told I could come pick it up. I drove there and was no t given an apology or coupon or anything. Just a thanks. I didn't want to drive 20 mins there and back, that's why I ordered delivery. I don't usually do this but it really pissed me off...

This location is first and foremost a Long John Silver's that also happens to offer A&W menu options. However the A&W menu is limited to their standard combos and ice cream items. Stand-alone A&W locations have additional menu items to offer. Service is friendly and efficient. Sadly, like every LJS I've visited over the past year, the food (while fresh and flavorful) is oddly lukewarm in temperature, when in the past it's always been steaming hot upon serving. Atmosphere-wise is where this particular location really excels compared to the other LJS's I've frequented. All the other ones I've been to the last couple of years have stripped down their maritime decor and painted everything a plain, ugly white color. Not this place though. This LJS feels like it should with lots of fun sea-faring themed decorations and a warm, inviting wooden brown color. The A&W mash-up also provides a jukebox that customers can use with classic rock/pop songs playing in the restaurant. This particular location is out of my way compared to others, but I intend to revisit it the first chance I can. But please LJS, do something about heating up your food.

This places needs a whole new parking lot and drive through. While, yes, the cheese curds are ok, it's not great, and, sadly, overpriced for the quality. The breading was not crisp, very minimal pull on the curds (possibly sitting out for a while, but that is the standard for fast food), the burger was rather dry, relying more on the condiments to provide a healthy bite than anything, and worst of all was the wait. We spent over thirty minutes waiting for one burger and two orders of cheese curds, and the person in front of us had stated they had been there for almost forty minutes.
TL;DR: the food was what you expect out of fast food with the full wait of a five star restaurant.
