LongHorn Steakhouse

I have to start by saying that if this rating was solely for our waitress, it would be 5 stars. Kayla was awesome, got our entire order right, was friendly, and checked in with us often. She was great. I really appreciate that she gave us the usual speech for newbies to the restaurant, including telling us that the steaks are served with a generous amount of salt and pepper seasoning, and are also splashed with butter before being brought to the table… but if we wanted anything left out or modified, she was more than happy to accommodate. This was great to know right off the bat. She is the only reason I am giving our experience any stars.
Now, on to the rest of our experience. Our table was dirty, with food and crumbs all over the tabletop, and that lovely «who-​knows-​what» on the seats. Bad first impression.
They were out of the wine I ordered… it’s my favorite wine, and I get excited when I see it on menus out at restaurants, so I get pretty disappointed when I hear they are out of it… and have been out of it for quite some time, apparently.
The bread was served warm, but was as dry and flavorless as cardboard.
The blue cheese seasonal salad had little bacon bits on it that were so hard, my husband thought there was a rock in his lettuce when he took his first bite. The rest of the salad was pretty underwhelming, and we paid extra for these «premium» side salad options.
I ordered an 8oz Filet, medium-​well, and it came out well done without any pink in the center. I also asked for «light seasoning and no butter» thanks to the information from our waitress because I don’t like the meat to be overly salty… and while I’m glad I did this for my sodium and calorie sake, the flavor was just blah. I think they over season the steak and cover it in butter for a reason! My broccoli side dish was the best part of my meal… very lightly seasoned, steamed with a slight crunch/​stiffness, and really good flavor.
My husband ordered the Chefs Selection steak, which was a filet with lobster meat and hollandaise sauce, served on a «bed» of asparagus… by a «bed», they mean 3 tiny, skinny, shriveled pieces. His baked potato side was just OK, but was kind of dry and was nothing special. The lobster chunks on the top of his steak were REALLY salty with an incredibly strong seafood flavor, and was probably the worst part of the meal.
The only reason we came here was because we had a $ 50 gift card. After all was said and done, with our food, drinks, and tip, we still ended up paying almost $ 40 out of pocket. To think that this meal would have been almost $ 100 without the gift card just blows my mind. It was definitely not worth that price.
We will not be back. I think there are other options in the area that are less expensive with better quality and flavor!

First, I’d like to say that despite the many missteps and errors that was our meal here, the manager bent over backwards to try and make it right for us, even going so far as to bring my wife’s replacement for her overcooked T-​bone out to her personally.
So we went here on a Saturday night, called ahead and got seated before we could sit down at the bar, GOOD. Table was right next to the entrance to the kitchen, and across from a party with a little girl who was turned around in her seat and staring at us the entire time, BAD.
Had something called a Montana Mule to drink, tasty enough, but way lacking on booze for a $ 7 drink. Wife had a $ 7 glass of Pinot she said was «fine».
On to the meal:
As mentioned, the wife’s T-​bone was overcooked, and duly sent back, replaced almost instantly by the manager who said he pulled one off the grill for her, sorry, other diner who was waiting for that steak!
I wanna direct your attention to the picture of the lobster tail: it arrived just like that, curled up on it’s side, lonely little slice of lemon, no ramekin of butter, swimming all by itself on that vast white plate. Apparently, presentation has gone out the window at this place.
Also, they brushed the thing with something that tasted suspiciously like margarine, had a weird, slightly rancid taste.
Steak, while properly cooked and edible, was nothing to jump up and down about. I’ve had tenderer ribeye from King Soopers. Also, same problem with presentation, just kinda thrown on there, could’ve used a scoop of herb butter, and a sprig of parsley, fer Pete’s sake.
Never saw my creamed spinach side, although they charged me for it, and they charged me for the salad!
The manager gave us a free dessert, and the side and salad were adjusted off the bill, AND he gave us a pretty hefty discount on the tab, so that kinda saved the day.
Hard to imagine under what circumstances I’d give this place another try, when there’s a Texas Roadhouse under five miles away, but I suppose I owe it to the manager who really did try his damnedest to make this a good experience for us.

I was in the area and feeling carnivorous. I noticed that there were three steakhouses within walking distance of each other: Outback, Lonestar and Longhorn. Hmmm… what to do? Do I stick with the norm or do I venture into the unfamiliar. Never been to Longhorn so I decided to give it a try. Now I’ll admit, I did not have high expectations of this place. I was perfecty aware that this was a chain restaurant.
OMG! So delicious! Juicy, flavorful, perfectly cooked steak with a buttery finish. No steak sauce needed here, folks! These guys know how to make meat flavorful. Everything was delivered to my table in a timely manner by a very upbeat waitress (Jennifer) who was also easy on the eyes!
I can safely say that it is the best steakhouse of the three chains offered. Don’t hesitate, give ‘em a try!

My husband and I just love Longhorn steakhouse regardless of what state we are in we always have exceptional service and quality food. We decided to splurge since we were celebrating and we shared a 30 ounce porterhouse. Perfection! Long Island Ice-T’s are exceptional. The white sangria is a nice lady’s choice.

I absolutely love Longhorn! Used to go every week when I lived in Florida and when I heard they were opening in Colorado I was stoked. However it is a little different than I’m used to. Service is great and food is awesome but menu seems to change too often and seems a bit inconsistent but I still love it and would recommend going if you have never been.

I love a good steak but I always get nervous eating at a place that isn’t Del Friscos or Mortons. These guys made some damn good food though. I had the ribeye and my girlfriend had the stuffed filet.
My ribeye was cooked perfectly, (I like my meat well done). I was also able to get it crusted with Parmesan and blue cheese. The bread was warm and fresh. My side of Mac and cheese was amazing as well.
I wanted to try dessert but I was just too stuffed to do so.
I gave the 4 stars because it looked as though they were understaffed. We called ahead and they put us on the list due to a 30 minute wait. When we got there, we still had to wait an extra 15 minutes. When they sat us down, there were a ton of others waiting for tables but they had a ton of tables open.
Don’t get me wrong, I will be back. The food was just too good not to go back. Our waitress did a great job considering that she was overwhelmed and had no help.

If I could rate the service here it would be a 0. Ate here last night with my family and their friends from Taiwan. Now we all know ordering hot water is an Asian thing and pretty strange. But our server did not need to give any attitude or roll his eyes at us. My family might have not noticed your little antics but as a fellow server I sure did! Overall our server was very snappy and gave us a lot of attitude in a passive aggressive type of way. Service was incredibly disrespectful and disappointing.
Now let’s talk about the food! Since I have been in the restaurant business before I know that the bread served is not «freshly baked» and more like just reheated in the oven for warmth. So that’s not too exciting. I ordered the 6oz. Sirloin cooked at Medium with broccoli and mashed potatoes as my sides. I thought my meal was delicious. The steak was cooked just like I wanted, with the perfect amount of seasoning. The broccoli and mashed potatoes were equally as yummy and the presentation of the food was really nice.
From server to server: Sorry for the 15% tip but you don’t really even deserve 10%. Was going to leave you a note, but didn’t have paper on me.

Wade from Littleton is accurate when he states the experience is underwhelming. They might have put their game faces on during the Elite dinner, but my meal was definitely not worth the price. My flat iron steak lacked any kind of seasoning whatsoever and seemed to be thicker than what my expectations held. It seemed closer to a sirloin – somewhat fatty and low in quality. In the last two years, I’ve tried to avoid using steak sauce and eat the steak as it is. This time, I couldn’t avoid it, but A-​1 didn’t do much in the way of dressing it up. The steak also seemed to be in its own juices and heavily so for a steak ordered medium. They only have a limited selection of beer on tap. Fortunately, Blue Moon was one of them, otherwise, it was the standard crap every other restaurant offers. Dollar for dollar, you’ll fare better by going to Outback or Texas Roadhouse if you desire a ‘chain steakhouse’ experience.

I’m going to preface this review by saying I ordered two takeout meal so I don’t know how the staff would responded to my issues.
First when I arrived to pick up my order there was no one at the hostess stand to greet me, I simply walked over to the bar. There was no one there either. I waited about 10 mins until an employee wandered out from the back. I told her I was picking up and order she said she’d be right back.
Another 10 mins later…
I finally got my order.
I got home and unpacked it all.
Underwhelmed.
I ordered my steak medium well (no comments from the steak snobs, I like my meat cooked) it was Red all the way through. My wife’s was the same but she likes it that way so she was good. I paid $ 25 for this cut of meat and it was 75% fat. Both our potatoes were rock hard and the bread had the consistency of old chewing gum.
This is not what I expected from a $ 60 meal.
I will never give my money to Longhorn again.
Save yourself $ 30 and go to Texas Roadhouse.

Attended a Unilocal Elite event at this location and wrote a crazy long review about it on the events page… but wanted to add a quick blurb here!
The waitstaff was super friendly (Graham is the only one whose name I can recall), and Tracy, the manager, made sure everyone was taken care of. If you have any questions, they are there to help you out!
The food was great! I’d def recommend the fried green tomatoes, Wild West Shrimp or the corn fritters as an app; the filet for your entrée, with steakhouse mac and cheese for the side; and, finish your meal off with the blueberry lemon butter cake. All were excellent.
Ample parking and a fun time at an affordable price!

Ordered the tortilla soup, citrus grilled salmon, mac and cheese, and chocolate stampede. Tortilla soup was spicy and had a nice kick to it — not overwhelming. The salmon was delicious. Mac and cheese was my favourite! The dessert was perfect and I will most certainly order it again. Great music for my taste — very comfortable atmosphere.

This is definitely my favorite steakhouse in this area I have been too. The food is really good quality for a good price. I attended a Unilocal event here last night so I was able to try some more items on the menu I didn’t get to try before. The apps were all so good and pretzel sticks are my favorite (I didn’t know they had them before). I got a sirloin steak and it blew other steaks I have had out of the water. It was just cooked so perfect. I got the side of mac and cheese which was definitely really good as well. For desert we tried the chocolate cake which was a favorite as well. It came with ice cream and was really rich. The service was by far the best I have had before. Everyone was so knowledgeable about the food and how it was cooked. They were also very friendly and attentive if anyone needed anything. I would 100% recommend this place.

For my first experience at a LongHorn Steakhouse I had a great meal. This location is in Northglenn where I don’t often venture for food or otherwise. The area has been developed recently and has a big parking lot, which is necessary because it was packed at 7pm on a Monday evening.
The hostess, wait staff and managers were all friendly.
As I was seated at a few tables put together for a Unilocal event I had a bounty of appetizer options to choose from. The wild west shrimp were battered and fried. They were delicious with spicy cherry peppers, garlic butter and house-​made Ranch dressing. The pretzel sticks were buttery and salty (not too salty) with a cheese or honey mustard dipping sauce. The corn fritters were not too crunchy or greasy. The
For salad the beefsteak tomato and bacon salad is enormous. It is definitely big enough to share among two or three people. It had three large slices of tomato, several strips of bacon, fried croutons, cheese and lettuce. My only change would be to have dressing on the side as it was a little wet for my liking.
For my entrée I had the smoky garlic outlaw ribeye with and corn on the cob as my side. I asked for it medium rare and it was cooked accordingly. It was a huge piece (18 oz) and I had plenty for leftovers. The corn was good, not over salted with a cheesy crumble of some kind.
The dessert options were good. I only tried the chocolate stampede, which was full of chocolate, ice cream and happiness (well my happiness).
Definitely somewhere I will go again as they many other options to try.
Good show LongHorn!

I came here for a Unilocal Elite dinner and it was more than I could have ever expected!
The staff was wonderful and so friendly, including Tracy, the manager.
We started with 4 appetizers of sweet corn fritters, wild west shrimp, brew pub pretzel sticks, and fried green tomatoes. I absolutely love the fried green tomatoes!
Then, we were supposed to select either a soup or salad. The bacon and beefsteak tomato salad was very tempting, but I went with the Chicken tortilla soup and I’m glad I did! Others had ordered the bacon and beefsteak salad and said it was delicious, but the plate for HUGE! It could have been its own entrée and you would have left completely full without complaint. Now, the chicken tortilla soup had a kick, but I love spicy and it was fabulous! OK, by this time, I am thoroughly full, but I am told I need to pick an entrée and a side. Please, can I tap out now? LOL
I ordered the smoky garlic ribeye cooked rare with a side of mac and cheese. First off, my steak was cooked to the perfect temperature, which always makes me happy because other places usually overcook my steak. The flavor of the steak was magnificent and was topped with a tomato vinaigrette that I adored. I also like the fact that the sauces were not overly salted; they had flavor, but I am so glad that Longhorn understands that salt is not the only flavor in a meal. I obviously could not finish my steak nor mac and cheese, so I got a to-​go box, which is still enough food for 2 more meals!
Finally, it’s dessert time. We were served the Chocolate Stampede and Blueberry Lemon Butter Cake. Let’s preface this by saying I DON’T really like chocolate. I know, I know, I keep trying it, but it is definitely not something I crave nor the first thing I’d ever order, but if you put something in front of me, the least I could do is try it twice. The Chocolate Stampede comes out in these huge slices and served with vanilla bean ice cream. It’s a chocolate cake base (as thin as a pie crust) and it’s a chocolate mousse that is just the right amount of sweet and chocolate. Now, for someone who never really likes chocolate, I must say that this is heaven in a spoon!
I then try the Blueberry Lemon Butter Cake. I love this combination, especially when I bake my cupcakes at home. OMG, this is another spoonful of heaven. The butter cake has this lemon cream on the inside that is so amazingly light and decadent. The butter cake was light and moist and absolute PERFECTION!
My only complaint is that these are not empty calories LOL!
I know that this was a sponsored dinner, but Longhorn put their best foot forward and it shows. I am so lucky to have been able to attend this dinner and have such a wonderful food experience and being able to interact with other Elite Unilocalers and have great conversation!
Thank you so much, Longhorn for your hospitality and allowing me to experience your wonderful food! I am definitely a believer in what you bring to the culinary industry and am DEFINITELY coming back!

I had absolutely nothing go wrong. Service was amazing. Food was amazing. So, even though it is a chain restaurant and people like to poopoo corporations, my dining experience was worth 5 stars.
Parking lot was packed, restaurant was bustling, and we were greeted as soon as we walked in the door. It has a modern western themed décor, lots of wood. Very organized and clean.
We ordered mostly off the seasonal menu and tried a lot of different items: Pretzel Sticks, Corn Fritters, Fried Shrimp, and Fried Green Tomatoes! These were all so good. Pretzels were warm and crusty, corn fritters were like dessert (evil!), fried shrimp were fresh, and I am now a fan of fried green tomatoes. I also ordered a steakhouse tomato bacon salad and it was HUGE. I had to pack that for home to save room for STEAK.
I was not disappointed! The steak was also ginormous! I got the ribeye. Perfectly cooked medium rare with great char marks and seasonings. I wish I had saved more room for that sucker! Will have some for lunch today (and probably tomorrow). Oh, and I ordered the mac and cheese to go with. Also amazing. I mean, I’m serious here folks! Longhorn has upped the steakhouse ante. Trendy, fancy, hipster quality food.
Oh, wait, dessert! Hooooo. The seasonal lemon blueberry cake was so Martha. It was fluffy and dense and adorable. And that chocolate cake monster that they brought out. Are you kidding me? We definitely only needed one for the table. So rich and delectable. We did not eat responsibly. Worth it!
Reading previous reviews, it seems most folks enjoyed their food but service was the issue. I think they have fixed all that. We were greeted immediately. Drinks were quick. Food was quick. Boxes and checks were quick. Managers stopped by to check on us. It was 5 star service.
I saw that they have a great happy hour, too. So, they WILL be seeing my face again. Gotta get me some more of those fritters!

This is my first time at a longhorn steakhouse and it was great! The staff were very kind and helpful, the food was delicious, and the environment was clean.
We came here for a Unilocal event and it was very well organized. I don’t recall the names of the starters but the pretzel sticks, fried shrimp with peppers, and I think the last one was fried chicken bites, all of them were great, nothing was too greasy nor too dried out, and the dipping sauces they all came with were very tasty.
I ordered the chicken tortilla soup, the filet with the Idaho potato on the side, and for dessert we were given the chocolate stampede and blueberry lemon butter cake, all of which were very good. I also ordered their Montana mule to drink, it was also very good and easy to drink, I am a light weight so one mule was good, if I had another I would probably have needed a driver.
The soup had a good kick, the filet was cooked perfectly (MR) and was amazingly tender, and the desserts were surprisingly light. Personally I prefer the chocolate cake over the blueberry but for someone who doesn’t like blueberry lemon desserts and still enjoying it should say enough.
Overall great experience, I would recommend this place, and it’s right next to the highway so it’s a great location.

Whenever I’m traveling and my hotel is near a Longhorns I always try and eat there at least once. They are one of the few chains that serve Lambchops.
This restaurant was typical of the chain. Seating was fast, service was okay and the food was good. The salad was fresh and cold. Although a little undercooked, the Lambchops were enjoyable. The horseradish mashed potatoes, as always, were a treat.
Overall an OK experience typical of the chain.

I wish Unilocal would allow the option to give a half of a star. I would defiinitely give Longhorn Steakhouse three and a half stars.
To start, Longhorn is my favorite affordable steak house. The steaks here are juicy and well seasoned. However, the flavor of the steak as well as how it is made can be inconsistent from time to time. You can always ask the server for more seasoning when you order to make sure. I normally get the flat iron steak because I like the medium rare cook to it and it is the right portion size for me. I also enjoy their signature strawberry salad. It comes with a variety of fruits; strawberries of course, grapes, and mandarin oranges. I love fruits.
This last time however, I was craving for soup so I substituted my salad for the new grilled chicken tortilla soup. It was delicious. My boyfriend also tried their new grilled lamb chops. That was good. However, some of the lamb chops were smaller than the others; thus, was overcooked. We also tried the peach sweet ice tea. We discovered that it was just peach syrup in the sweet tea.
Nonetheless, I have gone here many times and will continue to do so. I never had any problems with the service. I think if you are patient and nice to the servers they reciprocate the same.

I really enjoy a good steak, and every time we come here, the steaks are good. The service has been excellent, and desserts are great too. We like their happy hour which is 4 – 7 pm, m-​f. They have $ 3 drafts, which include Dales and the Ranger. Also, small bites are on the happy hour. The location is new and very clean. Their prices are very close to Outback, but the atmosphere is slightly more upscale. All in all, a very nice place for a steak.

The LongHorn has been at this location for about 3 months, according to our server,
but it was our first time here.
Happy hours are M-​F 4 – 7; drinks are $ 5. I saw a basket of hot pretzels going by our table; if I wasn’t already finished, I’d have jumped the server.
I’m not a big meat eater but had a craving for steak, which pleased himself a bunch — he who loves red meat. I got the filet with asparagus; he the ribeye, same veg.
Big discussion about how I wanted the filet done. Don’t like the plate jumping back at me but who wants well done? That said, and reading other Unilocal reviews, I can see it’s a crap shoot everywhere I’ve eaten meat regarding what the chef/​cook/​thinks my explanation via the server really meant. Tasted delish but too pink on most of the inside for me.
Probably because I owned a restaurant and before that worked as a server, I have restaurant empathy — most of the time. This was one. Rather than make a stink about the steak (had I read Raymond O’s Unilocal about getting the steaks comped I would have) I ate around the outside — it was delectable — and took the rest home. Between himself, the dog and me — we’ll get it eaten. I had the strawberry-​pecan salad — truly memorable in a great way. Goat cheese, grapes, berries, nuts, and a tasty dressing on a bed of mixed greens — honestly it filled me up. Studly had the regular salad.
The ambiance in the place is great — servers are well trained and we did get a comp appetizer on our next visit. Thanks, Tracy!
Yah, too much empathy. But really folks, the prices are reasonable — just remember
$ 5 happy hour M-​F; 4−7pm
Oh and on the TV was the hot dog eating contest — winner ate 64.
