LongHorn Steakhouse
Reviews
There were 5 of us last night. None of us had been to Longhorn in the past few months, and we were surprised that parking was so plentiful at 7:00 PM. Since there were plenty of empty tables, we were immediately seated at a table that appeared to be recycled from a thrift store. I recognized none of the waiting staff, but noticed they were mostly attractive young women. Our server was also young and attractive but obviously inexperienced. She knew nothing of the house wines, so I asked for a Bud in the bottle but was told they were out of Budweiser! I ordered a Miller Lite in the bottle with a chilled glass. I was served the beer without a glass. The bread came first, sans knife, sans plates. After a few minutes, one of our crew caught the server's attention and asked for bread plates. A few minutes later, she brought our salads and 5 saucers for us to distribute ourselves. Two of us ordered rare prime rib which was good. Our favorite Brit ordered a shrimp starter but found it too salty and pushed it aside (She should have sent it back). The other 2 ordered steaks which were also over-seasoned. The atmosphere previously was always pleasant, but last night it was like a Chuck e Cheese for redneck adults. It was louder than a high school lunchroom. I would love to know what happened to this once favorite restaurant.
Yes, these guys are always busy so I usually call about 30 min. ahead so that our table is ready when we arrive. The staff are friendly and very helpful, even when the store is packed full. Some cooks are better than others and even though the food is never bad, it isn't always great either
I have never been able to eat here as this restaurant is consistantly understaffed and the service times are high therefore the wait for seating is beyond belief. I HAVE ALWAYS GIVEN UP AND GONE ELSEWHERE.

I am in the US Navy stationed in Japan and the manager there was very helpful in helping me setup arrangements for my parents 40th wedding anniversary. Without his assistance and understanding I would not have been able to pull it off. Thank you very much Lenny! You have made my day and my parents as well. Although I cannot comment on the food or the waited service, I am sure that with someone like Lenny running the show there, it is probably top notch! To the people with the margarita problem; maybe if you would have asked for the manager they might have helped you as well.
