"I haven't been to a Longhorn Steakhouse in many years, but my recent visit was a pleasant surprise and a much better experience than I had in the few times I had gone many years ago. Price wise, it is comparable to Outback, but the quality of food is far superior these days, in my opinion. The steaks are much better in seasoning and quality. The salmon was very nice and dense (in a good way like a steak but flaky and tender. My only complaint is for the kid's menu, which the portion seemed small for the Kraft Mac and cheese (I know, I know, but at least they had it to make my Kraft kid happy so I could enjoy myself haha for it being a $6.50 meal. It might be a more appropriate portion for someone 6 or under, not really a 10 year old. The warm loaves of whole grain bread are super delicious. The Steakhouse Macaroni and Cheese was delightful and could have been a meal all on its own. The brussel sprouts were crispy and flavorful and even had a sweet taste (maple syrup? Brown sugar? to balance the salty and to cut the bitterness of the sprout! The salads were loaded with diverse, well chopped veggies which I appreciate as a salad lover not just lettuce with a sprinkle of other veggies like I have had at other steakhouses. The grilled shrimp were delicious, but leaned a little on the salty side (I didn't mind as I love salty foods, but in case you are needing lower sodium, or are sensitive to salt, you may be able ask for lightly seasoned and the dip was separated with a layer of oil on the top that didn't want to mix well. Though, the rice that sat atop was a good balance to the dish. The service was phenomenal and the food came out quickly and fresh. We will definitely return soon! A meal for five of us (4 adults, 1 kid came to about $108 plus tip, which is comparable to Outback and maybe slightly more than Texas Roadhouse by about 10 15% but the quality of food and service and a much quieter atmosphere, was well worth the price difference. The quieter atmosphere was still family friendly, and more sensory friendly for our kiddo who struggles with loud restaurants. I would recommend if you are seeking a quieter/less chaotic environment to dine."
