Long John Eater

The food is good quality and very good value for money compared to many other places. The menu is similar to a chip shop although they do pizza as well. The chips are nice. Serving staff very friendly and helpful, although there was no one around when we arrived, or for a few minutes after we sat at a table. The only issue is the decor, which looks like it is a 1980s McDonald's or Wimpy. Very dated and not very cosy or welcoming. The beige and burgundy let's it down, as it's very old fashioned. However, ignore the decor and focus on the food and prices. Toilets are upstairs. It would be good if there was seating upstairs and some shop downstairs because it's much warmer upstairs when the doors are open.

This place is AMAZING the staff are so friendly and the food is wonderful it's our 2nd time going here and I will defiantly be returning Our server sadly I didn't get his name but he was Awesome I hope they read this and let him know he was like what I imagine a waiter in a very upscale Restaurant would be like very Professional and friendly long may this Restaurant last If I lived in Ryde I would go every day

What a fantastic place looks are definitely deceptive. A warm welcome from Mark seated and a look at the menu all good. Both of my sons are autistic and our youngest can be challenging but this was no problem for the staff who went above and beyond to help taking time to listen to him and catering for his restricted diet. Jacket potato with loads of cheese no salad and plenty of butter we had our meals and I can honestly say they were delicious and at very good prices. We'll done mark and the team Deacon can't wait to come back

First visit here and like my previous reviews first impressions count. Four tired hungry people looking for a meal on Ryde Esplanade found Long John. Attracted first by the name, then the menu cover, the meal choices and spaces available we were quickly seated ready to begin our deliberations of what to eat. The menu has a very good range of meals to choose from, including fish choices, roasts, burgers and much more. Once ordered the meals arrived very quickly and we had excellent customer service. From research it seems Long John is a popular place with locals and tourists. The good was in very good portions, well cooked and very delicious. Thank you Long John for feeding the family so well.

Probably the best Cafe in Ryde, serving honest British classics. We popped in for a hearty breakfast before our Ferry home and considering we were a group of 7, the service was really quick and spot on. The waiter was friendly and accommodating, who took a real pride in ensuring everything was spot on. The food was piping hot, with very generous portions and cooked to perfection - I can definitely recommend the £9 Long John Big Big Breakfast! Drinks were again plentiful and well priced. Its a shame the upstairs is no longer available for dining, however downstairs is available still. We last visited in 2006 and can honestly say the food is as good today, as it was then. Definitely one to visit while your in Ryde.
