While Longhorn Steakhouse is not to be compared with the top-end fine dining steakhouses, it is a good place to go for a casual night out with the family or a group of friends who enjoy good, fresh food at a very reasonable price.
The atmosphere at this restaurant is attractive with a rustic western motif. The walls are done up in earth-tone colors and stone, with western paintings, copper, cowboy knickknacks, and soft lighting. The bar is also set in an attractive stone setting with a few large display TVs for the sports-minded.
Longhorn Steakhouse is very kid-friendly where the kids are given crayons and coloring sheets. They have a kids' menu with good inexpensive choices.
The service is excellent: Well trained, very friendly and attentive.
They serve a good variety of alcoholic drinks, and their margaritas are popular.
