YEE: Summer Steak-cation @ LongHorn Steakhouse Humble

What can I say … When you add good friends to great food, wine and service, you end up with an amazing time. It was great. The staff at the Longhorn was amazing. The food was delicious and cooked to perfection. I love the «pour and a half» of wine. It was delicious fun. I’ll be returning to the LongHorn next Tuesday for an anonymous visit. I know they’ll be great!

This was my first Unilocal elite event and my first time at longhorn steakhouse. Hopefully not my last time for either! What a fun, incredible, and DELICIOUS experience. Came hungry and left feeling very very full!
There was a group of about 20 fellow Unilocal elites. I had the pleasure of meeting a few of them. Started off with a white peach sangria cocktail which was huge and yummy, although a bit too sweet for my tastes. 4 appetizers were served family style: fried green tomatoes, sweet corn fritters, brew pub pretzel sticks, and wild west shrimp. The pretzel sticks seemed to be the popular favorite among our group, and it was very delicious, served with queso dipping sauce as well as a mustard based one. But my personal favorite was the fried green tomatoes. The wild west shrimp also had a spicy pepper kick to it which I was a huge fan of.
Next, we had our first course. I chose the grilled chicken tortilla soup. Warning — it does have a spicy kick to it. But since i love spicy foods, I thought it was great. Definitely a very hearty soulful soup with guacamole, cheese, tortilla strips, and chicken in it.
For the main course, I chose the smoky garlic outlaw ribeye (18 oz) served with mashed potatoes. It was HUGE. I ordered it medium rare and it was cooked to perfection. The mashed potatoes were also very fluffy and flavorful, just the way I like it. I was only able to eat half of my steak because I was already so full (took the rest home for my brother who loved it as well). Someone at our table requested the table-​side steak sauce. I have no idea what’s in it or what it was called, but it smelled absolutely amazing and was a great add on for the steak. However, they are regrettably retiring this sauce. Get it before it’s gone!
For the dessert, we got to share the chocolate stampede (huge slices of rich decadent chocolate cake served with vanilla ice cream) and the blueberry lemon butter cake. The blueberry lemon butter cake was omg delicious. the taste of summer. i’m so glad they’re adding it to their regular menu (it was originally just on their summer menu).
The service was phenomenal! so attentive and friendly. always smiling. loved it!
Thank you Farrah and Longhorn Steakhouse Humble for hosting such a lovely event. Also, thank you to Unilocal for the swagalicious adorable battery charger.
Hope to see ya’ll again soon!

Thank god I was wearing my stretchy jeans for this event because Boy was I full!
This was my second time in a long time that I had visited a LongHorn Steakhouse, but what made my 2^nd visit sweeter other than my Strawberry margarita was the amount of food that we were provided for this event. Let’s just say we ate like Kings!
We first started with the apps which were: Fried Green tomatoes, Brew Pub pretzel sticks (which was my favorite!), Wild West shrimp, and the fried corn fritters which I also liked very much as I sipped on my margarita.
As I debated to either go with a salad or soup I just went ahead and ordered the chicken tortilla soup, as it is one of my favorite Tex-​Mex items on menus but I’ll tell you what that nice spicy kick definitely was darn GOOD!
After that, it was time for our steaks! I went ahead and ordered the Outlaw Ribeye with the side of asparagus (medium) and I tell you what, this steak got my meat eatin’ Texas food lovin’ seal of approval! It was nicely done with a nice amount of fat and with the natural gravy of the meat, it also added a nice extra taste onto my asparagus. YEE HAW!
Finally, after I could only eat 3 bites off my steak it was time for dessert! We were offered Chocolate Stampede cake and Blueberry Lemon Butter cake. I was looking more forward to that nice summer taste of the butter cake but honestly that Stampede cake was just out of this world. Stampede was nicely chilled, with a no-​so-​overly powered taste of chocolate and surpassed my expectations of a chocolate cake. WOW, makes me want to have some now as I keep having flashbacks of it.
Honestly this event wouldnt be such a great success if It wasn’t for our girl Farrah! She did an amazing job setting up this event for us and of course the Longhorn Steakhouse staff. The staff was on top of EVERYTHING and simply just so pleasant.
Thank you all for such a wonderful experience. I am looking forward for my own visit here once again!

This is an Elite Unilocal event you don’t want to miss. You know you’re a foodie or else you wouldn’t be on this site. Farrah our lovely CM has been arranging these events around town for awhile trying to cover every part of the Greater Houston Area. She even told us to come Hungry (as in empty belly). Please listen to her words of wisdom. This is the jackpot of all meals.
This event was in Humble. We had a smaller more intimate group. They started us with 4 apps to share: Brew pub pretzel sticks, yummy fried green tomatoes, Wild West fried shrimp and corn fritters.
Next came an option for a Caesar salad, Beefsteak tomato salad with bacon (a full plate size) or tortilla soup. I had the Beefsteak tomato salad with thick perfectly crunchy bacon.
Next the lovely I believe asst manager comes around with the four freshest looking steaks. I ordered the prime cut filet mignon. It truly was a prime cut and cut like soft butter. Excellent choice and I would definitely order this again!!! They actually will cook it 2 different ways on the flat top or grilled. Next time I would get it grilled. One of my friends ordered it grilled with the char criss cross marks and it looked so beautiful. We had a choice of approximately 6 different veggies/​starch. I ordered the baked mac & cheese and it was excellent. It tasted like they used a couple cheeses including Gouda.
Now you know dessert is coming and you’re stuffed. Just suck it up or in because the desserts are a must try. The smaller one was a lemon blueberry butter cake in a light sauce and the grand finally was a platter of slices of chocolate cake with two scoops of ice cream drizzled with chocolate.
They had some of the most beautiful margaritas (check out event pics) or you could just have a non alcoholic drink.
Farrah passed out the cool phone chargers as swag which I thought was perfect.
The only positive critique I could offer was to have napkins or coasters under the water glasses or ice tea. It kind of made for a wet table on my end. Other than that thank you so much Farrah and LongHorn Steakhouse for a beautiful evening of great eats. Now I know where to get my next filet mignon!
Unilocal Review #324

This was my first visit to Long Horn Steakhouse, but it won’t be my last! We started with a sample of appetizers which were incredible – most favorite was the Brew Pub Pretzel Stick; least favorite was the Wild West Shrimp which I thought was swimming in too much butter or oil – not sure which, but I did like the kick of the peppers with it.
After the appetizers came the Beefsteak Tomato & Bacon Salad. Tomatoes were huge and so good. Also I liked the romaine lettuce they used – I like crunchy lettuce. There were some nice size pieces of bacon in the salad, and the dressing was good.
Next a waiter came with four different cuts of steaks (uncooked) and explained the difference so we were able order according to our preference. I ordered the 8 oz. filet which was cooked to perfection. I also got the seasonal Fire Grilled Corn on the Cob. It was excellent!
Dessert looked so good (but I don’t eat dessert). I would recommend the Chocolate Stampede, their trademark dessert.
The servers were very attentive – replacing water, silverware, etc., without my asking.
It was a fun and memorable evening, and I am looking forward to my return visit.

Wow, just wow! Great job Farrah and Longhorn Steakhouse! That was a splendid experience! Drink selection was great, Steakhouse martini was very tasty, never had one before. Appetizers were oh so good. Fried Green Tomatoes were so delish and a first for me! Pretzels were so much lighter than I expected, real nice treat! Corn fritters were good, a little too much breading for me though. My beefsteak salad with bacon was fresh and made the flavors meld together nicely. Now my sirloin was cooked to perfection for me, and I actually got it medium! Their macaroni and cheese was creamy with just a bit of bacon, that set it off. The dessert for me that was the best was the lemon blueberry butter cake, I mean just a perfect mesh of flavors!
Thank you for such a wonderful evening! Can’t wait to go back!

I might or might not have unbuttoned my pants by the time I got to the car. :/
This was my first time at a LongHorn Steakhouse and I was blown away by the food and hospitality.
I’ve never been a big fan of Fried Green Tomatoes but the ones I sampled were amazing. I also enjoyed the baked pretzels and shrimp appetizers.
My steak was cooked perfectly and was very flavorful. The steak was much better than any «Aussie» has ever made me at that other chain restaurant.
I love the sit down Unilocal events because you get a chance to have more intimate conversations and learn more about your fellow Unilocalers.
Overall I had a wonderful evening and can’t wait for my next LongHorn experience.
btw– the Unilocal chargers are adorbs!!!

If you get an invite to an official Unilocal Event, do yourself a favor and clear that busy schedule of yours! Tonight’s event was filled with appetizers, salads, main course and dessert. And I can’t forget, prizes, quizzes and cocktails with rock candy stirrers!
Our perfectly poised community manager, Farrah was well prepared with our name badges at registration and from there the drinks and appetizers followed smoothly. I opted for the strawberry margarita over rocks served with a watermelon rock candy swizzle stick. I love this drink. I get it every time I come to Longhorn.
There were so many appetizers but my favorite was the pretzel bread with cheese beer sauce or was that crack sauce? I don’t care, all I know is that it tastes amazing and I want more. I’m thinking about ordering some of these appetizers during football season.
Next was the beefsteak tomato salad. It had bacon. Need I say more? Oh yes, I could say more that I love that today’s event had prizes for best # on Instagram and Twitter and I actually won the Instagram post prize of my pic of my tomato salad! LongHorn gave me a gift card and I am overjoyed! (I’m sweetcherrya on IG, if ya please.)
Then we took a paper quiz about the steaks as the restaurant staff educated us on the cuts of steak. The winner won a gift card! So many prizes!
The main course arrived in all of its steak-​et glory. I got the Outlaw steak and it was divine! My loaded baked potato was so good. I do love that they do the presentation of the steak sauce at the table. That is like A1 steak sauce but extra fancy with rosemary and fresh garlic and onion. So divine, please don’t stop doing this table side sauce!
The finale was the coffee service and dessert. Between the buttercake and the chocolate tower, all I can say is the Lemon blueberry butter cake is like a fancy Twinkie on honeymoon with champagne! It is seriously a delicious dessert. But a little more adult and a little more swanky. And definitely sexy on the tongue. Intrigued? You should be!
I had a great time tonight. Thank you Farrah and the LongHorn Steakhouse Humble for making my humble Monday, into deliciously satisfying and fun!
