Went today for lunch with a buddy. I had the Renegade Sirloin. It was excellent. I'm not a steak connoisseur by any means, but definitely the best I've had going out to eat in a long time. Service was great, too!

This is one of our favorite places the food never disappoints. The service is always good and depending on the time you get there, you have to wait a little bit, but otherwise very fast service my husband enjoys the steaks the reasonably priced I enjoy the chicken and it's one of my favorites, very cowboy decorated, which is interesting some of it. I think it's historic and I enjoy the place will continue to eat for many years to come.

Was supposed to go to another steakhouse, but it was full so we ended up here. Had to wait about 30 minutes because it was packed here. The servers were lovely and escorted our big group to a table we could all fit in. Steak didn't take too long to arrive and it was well marinated. Ribeye was cooked medium and very juicy with the right amount of spices.

I've been to several Longhorn steakhouses in my time, but I'd have to say this is one of the better locations. Saturday night, we decided to have a good steak dinner. To be honest, our first choice was Texas roadhouse, but there was an hour and a half waiting list. On a hunch, we ended up at Longhorn. There was about a 20 minute wait, even though this place was packed. had a drink at the bar, even though it was elbow to elbow. Eventually we were seated, and although the weight staff was overworked, our server was very pleasant and accommodating. We ordered an appetizer and drinks. I had the T-bone with a choice of side, and my girlfriend had the sirloin with shrimp. Everything came out fresh and piping hot. Very good service from management all the way down to the people bussing tables. Reasonably priced, considering our current economy. Plenty of parking. Definitely a return trip.

Our waitress was amazing, probably the best I've had all year at any restaurant I've gone to. She was friendly, attentive, and anticipated needs so we never had to ask her for anything. The menu is a bit pricey, but everything I tried was worth it. I ordered the Texas Tonion and the ribeye with Brussels sprouts and a loaded baked potato. You already get bread so this is a good amount of food. The bread is crispy on the outside but soft on the inside. I'd like it if they had honey butter, but the pain butter they have is fine. The ribeye steak was huge. The weight on the menu is the precooked weight and this thing still came out pretty big. It was tender and juicy and very flavorful. I didn't need to add any sauce or anything to it. The Tonion was also very good. The onion chunks weren't cut too big so they fried up very well. The Brussels sprouts are goofed in what tastes like a maple bacon glaze and they don't taste like vegetables at all.
