When we first arrived at LongHorn Steakhouse, there was a brief 5 to 10-minute wait for our party of 15. While the wait time was reasonable, we were a bit disappointed to find that our group was split between two non-adjacent tables. This arrangement was less than ideal, as we were hoping to dine together as a family but were told they don’t seat more than 12 people together. Ultimately, the adults were seated at the larger table, while most of the kids were placed at a separate table. As for the food, the service was quick and efficient. I ordered the New York strip steak, cooked well-done, with a loaded baked potato and salad. I was pleased to find that the steak was cooked to perfection—deliciously moist and flavorful with every bite. We were there to celebrate my son’s birthday, and the staff did a fantastic job with the dessert and the birthday song, adding a special touch to our evening. Everyone in our group enjoyed their meals and agreed that LongHorn Steakhouse is an excellent choice for a quality steak dinner. While the restaurant is conveniently located just outside the mall, finding parking was a bit of a challenge. One minor downside was the strawberry lemonade, which tasted slightly watered down and could have benefited from a bit more flavor. Overall, despite a few hiccups, this was one of the best dining experiences we had during our trip, particularly for smaller groups.

We were seated quickly on a Friday night at 7 pm. Robin was attentive and answered any questions we had regarding the menu. The bread as always was incredible and replaced quickly. So I got the Salmon plate with no rice which gave me 3 sides. The Caesar salad and the Mac n Cheese were incredible. My boyfriend thoroughly enjoyed his steak, baked potato and fried okra.

One of the most delicious steaks I've ever had. Even the starters were gorgeous. Absolutely loved the baked potato soup and Caesar salad.

Food is always amazing but our server disregarded our attempts to tell her about a roach on our table! I tried to tell her about it and she just ignored me and left with our table check.

Hostess was friendly and got us a table in a timely manner. Waitress was excellent! Appetizers came out and were pretty decent. Entrees came out and not so great. (2)Chicken fried steaks were ordered, both chewy and all the batter/crust falls off immediately. Pork chops were dry, steaks were a bit chewy as well. Lemon chicken I was told was great. Salads were good as well as the broccoli, brussel sprouts, macaroni & fried okra.

Arrived later in the evening and it was slow for a work week dinner. Our server was amazing! She was thorough, quick and attentive. The only downside was we were seated by the bar and this group was loud, conversations were heard by all and they were using foul language. I should have asked to be moved but I didn’t request it. Food was tasty and great temperature. Large portions, dinner salad was fresh. The brisket queso arrived a little colder than I would have liked. Overall food was okay and within price range.

Don't know what happened but they went from five stars to none. Porterhouse steak is not even a half inch thick. The fillet was descent but No matter how you order it, it's coming out rare. I even had a new steak cooked and they still could not get it right. We arrived early so not to many customers were there and service was non existent. Will not be going back.
