we had incredible customer service. My steak- instead of medium -- came out rare. i did say something, but I was gonna just bring the rare steak home and throw it in a pan tomorrow night for dinner, but they insisted on giving me a whole new dinner and to take home the rare steak as well. In addition, the kitchen was slow, but that was due to Father's Day. But they took my husband's soup off of our bill. The wait staff was friendly and we will definitely go back. read more

LongHorn is another wonderful part of chain of restaurants from the Darden group. For this reason, most of these reviews will remin the same. My wife and I had dinner with another couple last week at The LongHorn Steakhouse in albany. (We live in Long Island, NY.) This was my first visit to this location and I could not have enjoyed the evening more. Our friends told us that they get busy quickly in the evening so we arrived at 6:00PM to a very warm welcome and were seated immediately. I knew that this was gong to be a good experience just from the way it started. We had to be out by 7:30 for a meeting so time was crucial/ Our very efficient server, came right over to our table and take a drink orders. She then delivered the drinks with menus and bread and asked us if we had any questions. We just wanted to sit and speak for a few minutes and enjoy our surroundings. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This restaurant is a very comfortable spot where noise was not a problem even as they were filled to capacity.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We all started with salads which were cool, crisp and tasty. The dinners we order included these two items: Flo's Filet®. This iconic cut has been here since opening in 1981. A very tender center cut is coated with signature Grill Seasoning and seared to lock in the classic buttery flavor. - You knew everyone enjoyed this Just from the expressions on everyone's face. They had a wide variety of sides with the main meal and most of us went with a salad and potato or greens. Chop Steak*. A 10 oz. of fresh ground beef loaded with roasted mushrooms and caramelized onions, smothered with savory garlic herb sauce. - This was my selection. I love a good chop steak and find fewer and fewer restaurants offering it. I usually have to go with a large hamburger. This was a welcome choice and really [really] good. Overall, we were all VERY HAPPY to have come here and we all truly enjoyed ourselves. We look forward to visiting a LongHorn not far from where we live. On a personal note... I DO NOT understand the one star reviews. These are not regular Yelp users as shown by the fact that they have no friends, no pictures and either one or two reviews. DO NOT pay attention to them. People are definitely entitled to their opinions but these clearly do not reflect the views of all the people who have been here. KUDOs to the team at LongHorn Steakhouse! read more

I got double charged by a male waiter then he added a tip himself! asked to speak to a manager and a gentleman who proceeded to tell me he was the MP was extremely rude and told me he's busy right now but he'll figure it when he has time! WORST TIME EVER! read more

My friend and I went in there for an evening. We had an appetizer and then ordered our main dishes. I ordered one of my sides was broccoli which was terrific and I ordered baked potato. I had to send it back because it was cold came back again and it was still cold, but I didn't say anything till the end of the meal and I took it to go warm it up tomorrow in the microwave. They should check the temperature before they send them out if it comes out cold the first time. read more

Welp, back again for another Dan good time! A family birthday party dragged me back in the door again this year for more chain food excitement. So both the food and the service was better than last year. Nobody's steak was overcooked. I ordered the fillet mignon this year. I was weird, kinda stringy with random chunks of fat that Im not used to seeing. Our waiter was kind and everyone had a good time. read more

Boyfriend and I are here on Easter Sunday around 1pm. Got there as it was filling up and got very busy after that. Were seated right away. Been here numerous times. Got our non-alcoholic drinks and ordered. All the food came out at once. Bread, salads, onion appetizer, and 2 ribeye dinners. As always, very consistent. Ribeye was cooked perfectly mid rare, lightly seasoned as requested. Other ribeye was more on rare side, but boyfriend didn't mind. Everything was delicious, but would've liked the spacing out of the food!! We realized they were going to be swamped, so guessing they were cooking ahead. No real complaints though. Brought enough home for 2 meals from one ribeye dinner. read more

Steak was perfectly cooked. Service was prompt. Good experience as expected from Longhorn.

I dined there on Sunday December 7 25. I was a little bit nervous because I had read some of the earlier reviews that actually were very wrong. My friend and I had an excellent that's Capital. Excellent experience. The service was by far the best and friendly and quick. We both ordered steak I ordered the New York strip medium rare came with a wonderful sweet potato and a wonderful Caesar salad. The steak itself was so good and cooked perfectly. My drink was a sangria and it was just like being in Madrid, Spain like I was in May 2025. My friend ordered the small fillet With the rice pilaf and a regular salad. She was very satisfied and ate the whole steak they cooked it perfectly medium. We did not have dessert because our meals were perfect size. We also had a nice loaf of bread added, and it was very good. Price was excellent about $67 without tip. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We sat in a nice booth and totally enjoyed ourselves.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I would highly recommend this place for a wonderful meal in a quiet atmosphere with very good service.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

We've wanted to visit a Longhorn now for quite some time, so we decided today to stop in for lunch on our way through Albany. We were seated right away and our waitress was by quickly to take our drink orders. I had to ask for lunch menus though, which I thought was odd for lunch time. When she delivered them, they were filthy (covered in food). We were brought out a loaf of their complimentary bread, which was actually much better than it appeared it would taste. While sitting waiting for our food, we were taking in the appearance of the restaurant. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibe was fun, but upon further inspection - my husband pointed out the ceilings. To say we were grossed out is an understatement. They appear to have not been cleaned in quite some time. There was also cobwebs on the decor saddle.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food wasn't "bad", but it also wasn't anything to rave about. I ordered the lunch size steak salad with the grilled corn as my side. For $10.99 it was basically a side salad with a few pieces of steak on top. The steak was cooked perfectly medium rare and had a nice crust. The corn was actually pretty good as well, sweet, cooked well with a little char and finished with a tasty crema. My husband ordered the ribeye w/ grilled onions and a loaded baked potato, along with an order of their Brussels sprouts. His steak was cooked well and was decently flavored. The grilled onions, which were served in a boat on the side - not on top as expected - were a great addition. The baked potato was - a baked potato. I had high hopes for the Brussels sprouts, but was very disappointed - the pieces were so large, not cooked through & just overall not appetizing. Maybe it was just this location, but I'm not sure we'll ever be back to try this chain again. read more

Last nite, I ordered a rib eye medium rare for eat in dinner. When I started to eat it, it tasted like a spoiled meat that have been sitting out for weeks. I told my waiter about it. He was nice enough to take it and replace it with another one. A few minutes later, the female manager delivered a new one and I cut a piece and ate it. It was OK, and thanked Her. She didn't say anything and gave me a mean look and left. That will be the last time I will ever eat at this franchise in Albany, NY. Sign A A Very disgusted customer. read more

Food was good, service was horrible. Took us 30 minutes to get sat at lunch time, the waitress dropped a coaster on our table and left for 15 minutes. Came back, took one drink order, we had to ask for lunch menus, she left the table with the one drink order, didn't come back for 5 minutes and dropped the menus on the table and walked away again. As I said, food was good but don't know if I will be back anytime soon. read more

I usually enjoy this place but tonight the experience went sideways rather quickly. We were on a waitlist and were told that our wait would be 25-30 minutes. We waited about an hour. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Then we got seated and placed at a table that was very unstable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We could forsee that there would most likely be a problem once we were served our meal and had to cut the meat. We informed the hostess about the table issue and were told a manager would come and address the issue. Revealed and waited but no manager ever came. We mentioned it to the waiter who got on his hands and knees under the table and then said unfortunately there was nothing he could do. I am presently still at the table and serious considering paying for our sodas and walking out. We have been sitting at the table 45 mins now and no bread has been brought out and nobody has come to ask if our drinks need to be refilled. Not a good experience at all. I doubt I will be back. Super disappointed a manager didn't care enough to make anything right here. Super disappointed. read more

Recently had dinner with my husband and some friends. It's dry January and they offer no mocktails. Longhorn is a major chain that should offer a mocktail selection. Everyone does not drink! Also, alcohol consumption has decreased. Please add mocktails Food was delicious as usual. read more

I was unsure on what I wanted, I spoke to the manager and the way he described The Chocolate Stampede sold me. It was good.

Couldnt get a sit at 4:10 saturday, not enough servers yet. Don't gp by pictures on menu the steaks are much smaller. No thousand island dressing still being made. Mashed potato instant brand. Ordered ribeye came as peppered ribeye ordered regular, wasnt asked about doness. Came out med-rare with blood on plate. Best part bread and appetizer of like bloomin onion. 100 dollars for 2, will probably go to nice local restaurant next time instead. read more

If you like salt and sugar this is the place for you! We ordered two chop steaks and one LH burger. The chop steak sounded good because it was in a mushroom sauce. It came swimming in extremely salty gravy with a few random mushrooms. I couldn't enjoy the tender meat because the gravy was sooo salty. Like an entire package of Lipton's Onion soup mix salty!! I got mashed potatoes and salad. The mashed tasted like a mix and the salad came with silver bag croutons and a ton of over strong vinaigrette. It was called balsamic but there was nary red vinegar in sight!! My mom's sweet potato had as she said "a half a cup of brown sugar on it." and very little sweet potato. My son's burger was average in his words but kept falling apart. It came with lukewarm fries. The complimentary bread might have come from a cheap supermarket. With cafeteria style butter. I've heard that the steak is just as salty. On the good side, the staff was very friendly from the host to the waiter. The Texas place across the street is much better for this kind of chain steak house. read more

Met up with a friend for dinner and they wouldn't seat us until our whole party was here. That's the norm a lot of places, but also disappointing because there was no wait that night and we were just stuck in the lobby waiting for our friend. Food was good overall but rather salty for some reason. That made it hard to finish the big portions. read more

Party of three (2 adults and a 7 year old). Arrived on a Saturday afternoon - about 4:00. We had originally gone to the Outback Steakhouse across the street, were seated, but decided (for a few reasons) to leave and head across the street to the LongHorn Steakhouse! YEE HAW! There was a wait, hostess took our name and texted us when ready. We waited outside in the corral. (About 25 min). Our waitress was upbeat, fast and professional. There were some issues with the beer availability which she sorted quickly. Us two adults got a filet and a t-bone. Each cooked perfectly, as were the sides (broccoli and mashed potatoes). The side salad was also fantastic. Our kid got the kid sirloin and fries...first time he's ever eaten a whole steak! We did start with the "spicy chicken bites" and although not terrible, I'd probably try something different next time. And finally... are you ready? For dessert we got and shared the STAMPEDE. Two delicious slices of chocolate mousse cake with whipped cream and fudge. With a couple scoops of ice cream. Excellent. Summary: First time Longhorners with no real expectations. We were more than pleasantly surprised. The manager also thanked us and asked for feedback, which we were happy to provide. read more

My husband and I dined at LongHorn steakhouse in Colonie on Wednesday, April 30th. It was our first time at this restaurant. We started with the stuffed mushrooms. They were plump and packed with flavor. My husband dined on the 20oz rib eye with mashed potatoes and the lobster chowder. I dined on the rack of lamb with mashed potatoes and spinach. I also had a mixed green salad. Our meals were spectacular! The meat quality was exceptional and served as requested. The sides dishes were perfectly prepared. Our waitress Lexi was friendly, attentive and highly professional. We genuinely enjoyed dining at LongHorn Steakhouse in Colonie. We'll be back. read more

By far the worst food I've had total waste of $112 would not recommend this place food and service sucks shitty service as well.

Watch out for this place!!! I ordered online and after waiting to pick up my order with 4 minutes left to estimated order ready I get a phone call informing me they were out of parmesan encrusted chicken, it shouldn't be available to order on the official website if they don't have the food. The manager Jennifer Boehenski " she should be fired immediately" She was very rude and refused to give me a receipt for proof of a refund, then I asked for her business card if she had one and she points for me to go to the front of the restaurant to find it myself and walked away from me., the manager then added more money onto my restaurant bill without my consent or knowledge, she didn't even have my credit card in her possession. If this business already has your credit card information captured with the online system and then sneak additional charges on your credit card without your permission or knowledge. I reported that manager for fraud. What food I left with was a chicken sandwich that wasn't fully cooked in the middle and one small scoop of mash potatoes. My credit card was fraudulently charged 46.00 but should have only been approx 13.00 Stay away from this place, this business will steal your money from you, they lack any professional abilities, zero customer service skills for a restaurant service driven business. read more

If I could give this place 0 stars I would... the customer service is so disgusting, the way we got treated at the front just to be put on the list was unacceptable.. I walked in with my son and husband around 9:00 pm, the guy didn't even recognize us until I said something whole time he was on his phone for a good 8 mins before I said something.. my name got put on the list he said about 15-20 mins.. no problem, waited in the car so we can be seated and 30 mins past nothing I said we can wait a little more just to see another 20 mins pass and nothing, I went back inside and it's basically empty so couldn't be that they were busy, when I entered nobody was at the front to greet, 3 waiters passed me and said nothing, I asked if I can speak to someone and the waitress just looked at me and walked away, after going up to someone in the back by the bar she said "oh that's me I'm the waitress" didn't see anyone there.... I explained to her we have been having for a while and didn't receive at text or call she then proceeds to say we would have to put your name down again and wait.. I asked for a manager and she said "there's no manager on shift" it was already 10:25 and nobody said sorry for the inconvenience it was more like they didn't want us there at all so took my money elsewhere since it wasn't good enough for this location DO NOT COME HERE!!!! Very rude nobody takes accountability and you will be there waiting a very long time... Take your money elsewhere not even worth the disrespect me and my family had to deal with... very disappointed. Staff needs to be trained all over again and manager need to step up that's not how you run a business.. read more

This place sucks. It took 1 hour to get my drink. And they made 15 mistakes. Also when I got my food it was cold. Then I asked for ketchup they did not give me ketchup then I asked someone else for ketchup and all they had to do is go to the counter and I sat next to the counter. read more

It's been a while since I've reviewed a chain restaurant. But I couldn't resist sharing my thoughts on this dining experience. We arrived at 3:30 pm and were immediately placed on a wait. I was confused because there were only two of us, and the restaurant was seemingly empty. The host told us they were short-staffed, and we waited about 15 minutes for a table. I went in with moderate expectations and found myself pleasantly surprised. We started our meal with the spinach and artichoke appetizer - a tad salty but tasty. I went for a medium rare sirloin with Mac n cheese, and my partner chose the shrimp- both dishes exceeded expectations. Longhorn Steakhouse, a forgotten gem in my culinary ventures, has now claimed a top spot on my list for affordable yet satisfying meals. read more

We came for lunch at 2:00. The lunch menu was full of variety and good choices. The overall highlight of our experience was the steaks we ordered which were cooked to perfection (Medium) and very tender. The Rib Eye was more flavorful than the Strip although both were tender. The seasoning on the ribeye was more pleasing and complemented the steak well. From the beginning-- The typical chain restaurant bread loaf was whole grain here instead of an insipid white loaf; the whipped butter was nice. Soups: (2 stars) French Onion had an obscene amount of quality cheese on top based on my preference. I removed a lot. The broth was dark but very salty as often is the case with mediocre French Onion. There could/should have been more pieces of onion. Shrimp and Lobster Chowder had good flavor but there was very little seafood in it. What there was was cut into tiny pieces. Blah. Salty. Why is it that restaurants, esp. chain ones, use way too much salt? Steaks were good as noted above (5 stars). I had fresh asparagus with mine. It was a little over cooked but good. There was a small up charge. George's mashed potatoes were very good. He had a Sam Adams seasonal draft with his meal which went down nicely. No dessert tempted us. The service was great (efficient, helpful, friendly) until it can time to receive our bill. We waited 15 minutes. It was 3:00. It could have been that our nice server was in charge of too many tables and doing kitchen tasks. We sat in a booth, and it was quiet there and comfortable. The layout of the attractive restaurant is good for Covid concerns: it is divided down the middle into two sides. The bar is on at one end of the restaurant. We will likely return for a delicious modestly priced steak. read more

The wait time on a Saturday night at 5 pm was 1 hour. After being paged by our phone, we were told by the hostess our table wasn't actually ready, so waited another 10 min. Our salads and bread came out promptly. The bread was the best part of the meal, it went downhill from there. After ordering we waited another hour for our food. My steak came out cold. My husband's steak came out missing the sides. We waiting another 10 min. for my meal to come back out. While the steak was now warm (not hot) my sides were now cold. My steak was so salty I was not able to eat it. Meanwhile, my husband is still waiting for his sides. At this point we ask to speak to a manager. The sides were onions and mushrooms for his steak so not needed once the steak has been eaten. Another 5 min and the manager appears and does not apologize or attempt to make the order right except to ask if I want to keep my meal since I have stopped eating (I'm not interested in eating a cold meal). The finale comes with the check. There is an extra charge for the Mac n cheese which should be an included side. No compensation for the 2 1/2 hour wait during which my husband and I enjoyed a glass of wine, a beer and a crust of bread for $90. Really? Quality control is completely absent! read more

Yesterday I took my husband out for dinner, just to let him know that I love and appreciate him! We decided on Longhorn steakhouse on Wolf Rd in Albany, upon arriving, there was No waiting, seating was immediate, I requested specific seating, Done! Our waiter came immediately with the sweetest smile, took our appetizer order, came right back with the order, he was very attentive and I realize a lot of times the staff in different restaurants are nice because they want a tip, But, I Never got that feeling from our waiter! He had the Sweetest personality and I even asked my husband do you think his personality is Real and I got the loudest Yes! The Only thing I'm angry about is, I did not ask him his name. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant was Clean, well stocked, the bathroom was immaculate.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If our waiter ever saw this, I'm sorry I didn't ask your name but You are so sweet and I tried to show how I appreciated you! You were very petite, and I believe gay, bald, with the cutest ears, great sense of humor, and a Wish to hear some "Beyonce" sometimes, lol.
