| - Father's Day, a pretty busy day in the restaurant world. Longhorn's was busy. We called ahead to check on the wait time. We were told it was 40 - 60 minutes. But, she would put our name down if we wanted. Nice. So, we put our name on the list and waited for 25 minutes before leaving. We arrived, were handed our pager and only had to wait an additional 15 minutes or so, pretty much right on the 40 minutes we were told. Kudos for that system. I wish other restaurants would take note of that. When people call, put their name down on the wait list.
Now, the review. There were 4 of us dining. My silverware had not been washed, there was dried food crusted on the fork and knife. Yuk. Everybody else got clean silverware. Our waiter was hustling, but he just couldn't get it ALL dialed in. The bread took a long time to make it to our table, and that's only after we asked a few times for it. The first item we ordered was the Sweet Chili Calamari appetizer. It was cooked very nicely. We asked for the Sweet Chili sauce on the side, which it was.
Next on our order were the salads. Our table ordered 2 salads D.O.S. (dressing on the side) but only 1 came out correctly. A new salad was brought out fairly quickly. The salads were nice, nothing special.
For our main courses, our table ordered the Flat Iron Steak, Primetime Burger, Longhorn Gourmet Burger and the kids Sirloin steak. The Flat Iron steak was cooked correctly and tasted fine as did both burgers. The kids sirloin was cooked o.k., it was just a fairly wimpy portion.
All in all, it was o.k. Nothing special but nothing to keep us from coming back some day. I would also like to add that it was quite loud inside, a bit more like a cafeteria sound level then what I expected inside Longhorn's.
