Wifey and I enjoy this place, and here is why:
1) You can almost always get seated quickly, even for larger parties;
2) the wait staff are helpful with regard to the menu;
3) you get good value for your dollar;
4) Outlaw Ribeye;
5) Outlaw Ribeye;
6) you get the idea;
I recommend you skip the appetizers, like many chain places these are a revenue grab for more profit from customers and they deliver minimal value to the customer. This is my humble opinion. I do a thought experiment whenever I get appetizers or dessert: would I come to this place and order only this appetizer or only this dessert? Would I get an entree somewhere else and stop off here to pickup dessert? If the answer is no, and it usually is, then they aren't worth ordering.
The entrees are what bring me to many restaurants and I think that is how they get you in the door. Outback really pushes the blooming onion as a draw, which is sad, a steakhouse isn't an onion house, the steak should be the draw and not the onions.
LongHorn has achieved this - the steak is the draw. Come here and eat steak. I can't review any other entrees that aren't steak because I don't think about coming to LongHorn when I am not eating steak. That isn't anything against LongHorn - when I got to a steakhouse it is 100% because I am in the mood for steak. I am normal that way. I don't go to Bonefish grill and order steak - I order fish (although not bonefish).
Loaded mashed potatoes are what I skirt my steak with. I recommend them - but ask them to ixna the melted butter. Sour cream and butter is too rich in my opinion to have on your potato starch.
