LongHorn Steakhouse

I ordered the 6 oz filet, ordered medium rare. The waitress kept asking little pink, very pink, warm center cold center. I ordered red center warm. My steak came to me medium. I didn’t say anything. But it was just ok. I doubt I’ll go back. Just not my choice of eat place.

been to many of these establishments around the United States
just like any chain nothing special menus about the same day cars with the same price is about the same
…
the décor
prices on my clean very loud lots of TVs

Steaks and sweet potatoes are always on point. I can’t really say the same for service. It’s really a hit or mis with service. They have great food for a decent price. That’s always a plus.

Alright so this is a chain steak house and the expectation is you go here to pay under $ 30 for a decent steak. NAILED IT!
Got lunch New York strip with baked potato side, and it was awesome! Steak was FULL of flavor, cooked to a perfect Medium rare, just great. Potato was a good potato, not over cooked or anything off about it. Went for the Spinach dip appetizer and it was really, really good to be honest! Had Iced Tea, was great as expected.
Waitress was great, very fast and got my order perfect. Floor and tables very clean, atmosphere was great «steak restaurant» décor like you’d expect.
So I paid about $ 35 (after 20% tip) to get a REALLY GOOD steak lunch, with drink, side and appetizer, and great service /​atmosphere.
Just a really great experience overall.

My husband and I went one night and sat on the sport bar side because we like to watch the sports updates. And we’ve been here many times so we know the menu. But we waited which seems like forever this time for a server. Then when the the waiter finally came he had an attitude like he don’t want to work or be there. We’ve had bad service here before but not like this. The food can be good but if the service is horrible, it ruins your whole night.
So we told the waiter our drink order and wanted to order an appetizer too but he just walked off ignoring us. As this point my husband was pissed out which mean he just would tip as good. Then when the waiter took our door order he told me «speak up I can’t hear you», which I understand because it can get loud in a restaurant. But then him just stared at me when I told can I have my steak a certain way. Then he gave me the BIG EYES and said «yeah I heard you». At this ppoint I lost my appetite. And I was about to ask for the manager soon.
Before we even did that, a different server came to greet us and told us she was going to take over for the other guy.
And I asked the waitress why and she responded «Ohh he’s having a bad day». And that really pissed me off (and I’m easy going!) like I did something. It ruin our whole night from then on and to top it off, the waiter keep coming around us and staring us down. So from that time on, we never came back since. If the management don’t fix the way they’re training and hiring these people that don’t want to work, this restaurant will lose more business.

First of all, I have never been a big meat eater much less a steak lover. Well, my husband is a carnivore so we decided to try Longhorns. I am now a steak lover! The Renegade Sirloin is the best steak I’ve ever tasted. It’s always cooked perfect and seasoned well. The bread is so good and every appetizer we’ve had was delicious. This is pretty much the only steak house we eat at now.

Credentials first: from NY, have eaten at at least 100 steak joints over the years in more than 15 states, and am the author of the first ever Jewish-​Cajun cookbook ever written.
I went to LH last night on the recommendation of a friend who said that the porterhouse here trumped the pretty fine porterhouse I had at Logan’s Roadhouse a few months ago. Well without further ado, I can say that it not only trumped the Logan’s steak it was one of the best steaks I’ve ever eaten… really. It was thick, tender, delicious and perfectly cooked… Truly sensational. And at $ 25 or so, a bargain, and big enough so that two people could share.
Lets give a rundown on the other menu items I ate there:
— Kale salad with watermelon — very good, and the watermelon is an excellent palate cleanser.
— Fried green tomatoes — these were excellent. Served with blue cheese and a drizzle of remoulade, these tomatoes were amazing. LH took a pretty mundane side dish and made it into something special
— Baked mac & Cheese — This was very good, and while I am not a bacon fan, the bacon added a unique flavor to this basic noodle dish.
— And did I mention the steak? Oh yea, I did. wow.
LH is several cuts above Logan’s (pun intended) as well as all the other steak joints I’ve eaten at in Lafayette. The food, décor, service, cleanliness all speaks to a restaurant that knows what they’re doing… and now I’ve got to try another LH to see if i measures up to the standards of this one.
I am not frivolous in giving out five star reviews, but I am giving LH five big ones. All the way.

Hey! What happen to my old review!!!
Anyhow, this place is so darn inconsistent, sometimes there good people, and then theres times where its such horrible people. Most of the time, I have horrible service. The same goes for food, there are times its good then there are times its horrible.
I normally get the Outlaw ribeye, which is normally good all the time, but this time I decided to try their Hawaiian ribeye, which is very, very not good at all!
I will come back because their Outlaw Ribeye is pretty good. just gotta pray for good service.

Stopped here on our way through town for a quick lunch.
This is the nicest Longhorn I’ve ever been to. Friendly staff and quick service. My husband enjoyed his steak, and the kids were happy with their mac & cheese kids meals. Changing table for the tots in the ladies room — score!

Ate there today for lunch and was very pleased with the staff and the food. The broccoli cheese and potato soup was amazing. Also my wife had the Bacon Cheddar burger and truly loved it. They also give small children teddy Graham’s which is a great treat. Thumbs up Longhorn!

Above average for a chain restaurant. I ordered a NY strip, cooked medium. It came out seasoned well and cooked medium. The baked potato that came with it felt a little old, like it had been sitting in the warmer for a while because it was not hot, but the steak outweighed the poor potato. I would return.

This is a steakhouse but sadly, they can not prepare steaks. Tried for medium rare and got raw. Sent it back. It was returned raw, again. Potato was good. Martini was first served as lemtini? Do not recommend. Too many good restaurants in Lafayette to go here.

We stopped in Longhorn Steakhouse for lunch today. Our appetizer came quickly. We tried the chicken tortilla wraps, and they were pretty tasty. My entrée was a cheeseburger and fries. My boyfriend had a steak and mac n’ cheese. Our entrees took some time to come out, but the order was accurate. My burger was pretty bland, but the fixin’s on the burger were fresh and tasty. The fries were warm and tasty. My boyfriend’s steak was pretty lackluster — just no flavor. The mac n’ cheese was also decidedly meh. Our check was slow-​coming.
They were busy, and our server, Amanda, had 5 tables AND the bar. She was hustlin’. Nobody provided her any help. She was truly doing the best she could given her load. But I waited 10 – 15 minutes for tea to finish brewing and come to the table. We also had to wait for the check to come.
We won’t be back. We certainly empathized with our server — she totally held it together — but this location could stand to have folks checking drinks and bussing food and dishes for the peak hours.

Typical chain steakhouse… everything was good, nothing was spectacular.
We were there for a business lunch, so I was more concerned with the topic of discussion than with the food. Nonetheless, I did very much enjoy my French onion soup… it was unique in that it had a well utilized and distinct taste of garlic. For entrée, I had a BBQ/​cheeseburger and baked potato, both average in taste.
My only real gripe was with what I call «undue conversation» from the server. We had eight people at the table and were very clearly having a business lunch. Three times, the server blatantly interrupted the table when someone was either in the middle of a story or important business related discussion, and then held our attention with unnecessary discussion just long enough to throw us completely off topic.
I was a server when I was younger and I would NEVER interrupt someone in the middle of saying something, especially when it was clearly directed to the entire table. It just annoys the hell out of me when I have a server do that.
BOTTOM LINE: Your usual national chain steakhouse… medium food, hit or miss service.

I arrive in Lafayette from Texas and the logical first stop is a steakhouse?! My client wanted to eat here and he was paying for it.
Flavor and value was five star. I had the lunch portion filet and my only complaint was the cut. This restaurant cut the filet in half the wrong way. It looked like a hamburger patty, and my medium filet was medium throughout. I like my medium to be well done on the outside gradually working it’s way to rare on the inside. This could be accomplished if the filet was cut in half the other direction (retaining it’s full height).
The sweet potatoes deserve a mention as well! five star

After my first visit to Longhorn, I’m tempted to rate it with 5 stars, but I think a second visit will be needed to confirm accuracy.
I think I had a small sirloin, medium rare, with the baked potato. The steak was absolutely perfect! Cooked just right. Great texture. Just the right seasoning or whatever it was. Absolutely delicious!
I can’t wait to go back again and try something else!

This was my first visit to Longhorn. I showed up in work out attire and I must say that I felt very underdressed. It is definitely a classier decorated steakhouse. It fills the void between an Outback and some of the higher end steakhouses.
I was very pleased with the speed and level of service we received during the entire visit. I ordered a 6 oz Sirloin cooked Med/​Rare. I expected the steak to be a tad bit more tender than what was presented. Nonetheless, the steak had a great char on the outside and the flavor was good. I did have a big olé tendon running through my steak so part of my 6oz stayed on my plate. The manager did come over to check on us and I did express my concerns to him. He provided us with a free dessert. That was really nice. I would give this place a another go again simply because the service was so great. We shall see what happens on the revisit.

Pretty good for the price.

Service was good. Great bread and they have a very good fruit salad. Beyond that — one steak was under cooked and the other was overcook. Way too much salt was used on both steaks. The grilled shrimp was also over cooked. Management did try by adjusting the bill with a discount. This is not a place that I will return to.
