First time here. It was nice and quiet because we went later at night. The waitress Michelle was very nice and answered all our questions. Got what we needed. We ordered shrimp appetizer and it was plenty for two. The food was delicious. Neat decor. Delicious food. read more

I love coming here sometimes there's a wait usually nothing to crazy and the food is always really good I always get the shrimp and corn cowder fantastic the steaks are always good quality read more

Why anyone waits to eat here is beyond me. People wait patiently to get in - we saw a huge line when we left. My partner and I shared a few appetizers. The food was so over salted - from the Parmesan fries to the chicken wings to the French Onion soup. Granted, French Onion soup is typically sodium laden but this soup was other worldly - pretty much inedible. The ambiance is fine - nothing special but the restaurant is clean. Waitress was pleasant and did her job well. We won't be going back here because of the food quality - maybe the steak dinners are decent but we would rather spend a bit more and go elsewhere or spend less and cook steaks at home. read more

Everything went very well. I was there at lunchtime and people started to roll in more after I arrived but several tables already full, I ordered the cheeseburger lunch special. It was very good, altho I asked if I ordered medium how much pink would be left. He did say that very little would be left maybe a band of pink with the chef there today, which I thought was honest but forgot to order on the tater side of medium. It came out very well done, but because it took a while and I did not want to wait for a redo, I went with it as is, and because the flavor was ok, if a little on the dry side. I was offered a new one though.so server was very good. The potato was good. Took it and the bread home for later. The other thing I'm not giving a 5 for was one of the waitresses was coughing, at least 3-4 times while I was there, and not really covering her mouth. Even if you are not standing over or near anyone, cover your mouth or better yet, if you are sick stay home. Kinda grossed me out, which is why I sat at the high tops and not at the tables she was serving.. but anyway, I would still recommend, (minus sick wait staff) and would go back, remembering to order 2 levels rarer than you really want something, so it can always be cooked more, not less. read more

The restaurant does not have a dedicated GF menu. I had to look at the allergen printout. I was able to pretty much eat the same food that I normally did minus dessert. The kitchen did catch the corn spices may have gluten and opted not to put them on the corn. The service was also pretty good. read more

LongHorn Steakhouse - Steakhouses Near Me - Algonquin, Illinois

Server was great, unfortunately when getting our food the food runner spilled all of our food onto the table knocking over all of our drinks onto my lap. A Heineken 0.0 a Diet Coke and a strawberry lemonade. All over me soaked into my pockets and down to my underwear. She just stood there in shock. Never apologizes for the mistake. Manager Mike comes over and asks if everything is ok. I said obviously not Mike I am completely soaked and now it's running into my socks. He bring us the check for FULL PRICE and we haven't even got our food yet. And he tried charging us for the drinks that just spilled all over me. I ask him so I have to pay for that because I'm wearing it? He doesn't even say sorry he just says OK what do you want me to do about it??? I Don't Know Mike what do you think you should do about it aren't you the manager????? We should pay for that? We ask for the food to be boxed up to-go so that I can go home and change and dry myself off. Mike still expecting us to pay full price for this. He finally agrees to take the spilled drinks off after talking to him about it for 10 minutes. Drinks that spilled all over me by his staff... offers 25% off the bill lol. Again I am completely soaked and embarrassed by there staff. At this point we are starving so we were just ready to leave. Could not argue with this Manager Mike any more, he had absolutely no remorse for any of this. I would say this location is normally great but would avoid it at all costs if this manager Mike is working. He should be fired immediately. Even his staff told us to complain about him since there is nothing they can do. Our server felt terrible and tried to help us as much as he could but his manager Mike wouldn't let him. I told longhorn to watch the video it's all there for them to see. We'll see if they even respond to my complaint. What an experience read more

Just wanted to say our waiter Nicholas J was awesome. Very attentive and friendly. Service was quick , food was delicious. Thank you :)

The food and service once you get seated is great. The portions are large and the food is delicious. Other than some of our Texas tonion appetizer having uncooked breading - which we just avoided, the rest of the food and drinks were good. If you plan to come on a Friday evening be ready for a long wait. Although we were next in line for some time my husband I noticed that 4 tables got seated before us even though my husband asked the front staff a few times. And even though the front said we had the next table and then another group of 2 was next - it was frustrating that they seated the group of 2 before us. So we ended up waiting about 50 minutes for our table when we got in line at 7am. Be prepared to advocate for yourself even though you're placed in a virtual line. We won't plan on coming in again on a weekend for dinner. read more

First time here. Didn't have high expectations but left with an awesome experience! Even came back within the same week lol Came here for a family dinner and we had 8 people. Our server was Sonny and he was great. I couldn't decide on a drink so I took his suggestion on the blazing berry sangria and it was amazinggg. Fruity sweet and wasn't too strong or tart. Delicious and the cup was huge! I was expecting a glass wine cup lol Timing on food was perfect. He brought everyone's drinks and appetizers out. Then our meals came out shortly after. It's always nice to see team staff working together when there's a big group. 2 other staff helped him to bring out the food which is nice so we could all eat together at the same time. The best appetizers hands down are the wild west and spicy chicken bites. So good that when we came back the same week, we ordered those 2 again lol The chicken bites are tender and crispy soft breading. Has a kick to it but it's also sweet. Kinda like sweet Thai chili but more of a kick. If you're not into spicy then I would recommend the wild west. It's breaded shrimp and squeeze a lemon on top, perfection. Not like your typical fast food popcorn shrimp! Hard fried breading and tiny skinny shrimp. The outlaw ribeye is great, I would order that again. Cooked to my liking. My mom had the salmon. I can't exactly remember the name of it but that was also amazing. I would order the salmon next time because I enjoyed the rice that went with it. This is a great place to take the family out. We had our own little section where our big family and kids wouldn't disturb the smaller groups. Almost felt like a private room without the closed doors. Everyone was able to find something. Even the kids meal has a serloin steak option for $9.99! Ask for Sonny, he will take care of you and the family. Organized, professional, sweet and funny personality. read more

This is what I wrote to the company: Just wanted to mention my Yelp review of the steakhouse in Algonquin Illinois. My husband ordered a ribeye. I ordered a sirloin with shrimp. Mine was fantastic. The steak was perfect, the flavoring was great, The shrimp was phenomenal, baked potato, asparagus & salad too. But my husband received a steak and asked the young lady delivering it is this a ribeye? She said yes, the waitress came over and he said is this a ribeye and she said yes. We were tired, hungry and needed to get home. We figured if we called for the manager we knew they were the people that train these young ladies to say yes it is a superior stake worth the money instead of being sincere and saying, sorry you're right that it's not a ribeye that's an inferior cut. My husband and I have lived in the Midwest our whole life, we have cooked steak since we were in our teens and we are now in our middle 60s, we know exactly what a ribeye looks like and taste like. I feel the insincerity and the need for Longhorn to deceive people and serve them inferior cuts of steak is just outrageous. I would love to return, but now my husband refuses. This was a Christmas gift card received from our only son for him and it's a shame. read more

Went for late lunch. Server Angie was very friendly & worked to make sure we had everything we needed. When our food came out, my fries were cold. Husband's steak was cool & overcooked. Butter wasn't melting in his potato as it wasn't hot either. Asked Angie for fresh fries & told her about husband's food. She brought fries again & again... they were ok but not hot. Husband got a new steak & potato. Steak was way better, but again... potato wasn't melting the butter or brown sugar. We didn't complain again. So, to say the least... a pretty disappointing meal. It's not that much to ask for hot food with properly cooked steak. It is a steakhouse after all. Didn't see any management going around either. read more

Clean restaurant! Nice ambiance and plenty of seating. We enjoyed our meal. The meal began with bread. It was a hot and fresh wheat loaf with butter. It was plenty for two, veggie than an Outback loaf, but it was not as soft, definitely more crunchy exterior. I ordered the spicy chicken off the appetizer menu. It was plenty of food for a meal. I also added a Caesar salad to my son's lunch entree for $1.49. The Caesar was average, I would try the side salad next time. My son ordered the strip steak, medium rare. He loved it! He said it was the best steak he'd had in quite awhile. It was cooked perfectly medium rare, very tender. He choose fries as the side. Many were soaked in the steak juice/butter, those were tasty. The fries overall were very good. We definitely enjoyed the food! There was one problem...there was a foul smell in the bar and in the bathroom. There is definitely a plumbing issue here. It was a sour metallic smell, so much so that I'm not sure we could have eaten in the bar. It would have been nice to watch TVs at lunch, but the smell was too overwhelming. The steak was good enough to go back, but that smell was not enjoyable. Be prepared. read more

I'm downgrading my review to 3 stars because they are inconsistent. The first experience was 5 stars across the board. The last time we went we were overcharged for someone else's drink at the bar. They were out of salmon (at 5pm). Our dinners were rushed. Salad served with appetizer and dinner brought before appetizer was finished and before salad was touched. I'd give them 1 star if the prior visit wasn't stellar. read more

Horrible experience. Went here for mother's day dinner as a family of six which included a child. Called in advance to be added to the wait list and was told I should have a table when I arrive. Checked in at arrival to be told that was incorrect and that it'd be a 30-45min wait. Waited no less than an hour to be sat. Was more than patient being aware of the traffic for the day. Immediately ordered when sat just to wait over an hour and a half to receive cold food which included an overcooked pricy steak. To go orders were prioritized it seemed. Not the only table with said issues. Made a complaint to the waitress, who was at no fault surely. A manager then came over and seemed irritated by our complaints to then rudely ask us what we wanted her to do about it. Offered zero resolution. We ended up paying a full bill for an expensive horrible meal read more

I have been going to LONGHORN for a long time. Lately the LONGHORN in Algonquin,IL has been getting worse. Three of us went for lunch. We were greeted by Nathan and brought to our table. Our waitess SARA came to our table and took our drink order. When she came back to take our food order she seemed to be in a rush. It was 2:00pm and 90% of the restaurant was empty! She brought us our food an vanished. She never came back to ask if we needed more bread or how are food was. Finally she came over with the bill. Still appeared to be rushed. Food was very good but waitress was very poor. Also NATHAN was walking about the restaurant and never smiled at ANYONE. They made you feel unwelcome! After this experience we won't be going back to Longhorn for a while! read more

Amber is the absolute best she makes dinner amazing! Ask for her! She keeps us wanting to pick this place every time for dinner.

This was a weird experience. I don't know if there is new management or what. Food quality tasted like it sat for a while. Steaks were horrible. Raw. Portions were tiny. My lobster looked like a tiny, dry, overcooked shrimp. Asparagus was gross. I won't be going back until I read a review that EVERYTHING has changed. read more

First; the wait was long. For a place with meh food we waited an hour and 25 minutes after confirming 45 minutes was our longest time. We had the spinach and artichoke dip which was good. I ordered the chicken with Parmesan and wow, sent it back which the sodium made the dish inedible. My husband makes better steaks at home. Its not worth the money if you know how to cook a steak at home. Coopers hawk is better. As is bonefish grill. Until the other restaurants open. read more

I love LongHorn. Yes, they are a chain but the restaurants are always beautifully decorated and comfortable. The food is consistently good, flavorful, freshly made and decent portions for the prices. We had great service today. Thanks Miguel! I'll be back to this location for sure! read more

Nice atmosphere, great food as always but my issue here is that while I was out to eat with not only my fiancé but also his family on his sisters birthday. Everything was great until the blonde frizzy haired server chick (you know who she is, why do I have to learn the name of a chick that acted like I didn't exist in front of my fiancé?) she thought it would be funny to not only ignore my existence and hold a conversation with my fiancé but neglected to realize the look on my fiancés mothers face when she heard your server swear in front of her 9year old son. Personally, That really didn't make me feel like I was in a family friendly establishment. If she were my waitress (happily she wasn't) she wouldn't have gotten a tip during to the clear disrespect she had for the family that was sat to eat a birthday dinner. read more

Reviewing chain restaurants feels kind weird but sometimes its important. We were happy to see Longhorn open up in our neck of the woods. Upon entering, you get that "everythings bigger in Texas" feeling. Big ol doors, steer horns, buck heads, cowboy hats and chaps and what not throughout in a slightly dim dining atmosphere...I like it! Simple but rustic Texas steakhouse fare and a simple menu which is a good thing. The warm bread loaves are hard to resist. The salads are a meal in themselves, they're awesome. The french onion soup was perfect. The star, of course is the beef. Likely not prime, probably angus. Whatever, they're tender, juicy, fatty hunks of satisfaction, taming the most primal carnivorous cravings. You're rolling dice when ordering lobster outside of any place that doesn't showcase fresh seafood. We rolled and the lobster was very rubbery. I couldnt tell if they were over or undercooked but it didn't taste right. The cheesecake was marvelous btw. Our server Waylon was very courteous and has a talent for making guests feel at ease. Longhorn in no way felt "cookie cutter". Its a great place for high quality, generous servings of steak for far less than the higher end places. I'll be back to try lunch items soon. read more

So the good, they have the best chicken wings I've ever eaten. The lobster tail was great. Our waitress was quick to refill drinks. The food runner was a little rude but whatever. The bad, my steak. I got the bone in rib eye med rare. It came out super rare and it was so tough. I could deal with rare but I had a very hard time cutting it and then chewing it and it was very underseasoned. It just didn't taste good and the quality was subpar. My crispy Brussels weren't cooked well either. They were very charred but then raw at the same time. And they weren't cut well. I had to pick out huge pieces of stem/branch Very unhappy. read more

Food was good, while service on the other hand was terrible. Every table I saw was giving bread to start and water. Nothing for us. Th host told us to wait for 15 minutes but we actually had to wait for 45 minutes, possibly more if I didn't complain. I'm so disappointed, we didn't even get a thank you for coming. read more

Food is delicious... service was good. Ribeye was excellent... sweet potatoes were soooo good also. Warm bread...

Update: the company sent us a $15 gift card and an apology for the experience. While the experience dining was very uncomfortable I appreciate the gesture. read more

We had a amazing dinner along with amazing service. All the food was cooked to perfection and tasted delicious. So many times we go out to eat and feel we get ripped off because restaurants are skimping on quality products yet raising prices. Our food was not over priced for its quality. Our server Angie was awesome and went above and beyond to ensure our experience was excellent! read more

Food is phenomenal! My wife had the 1/2 Pound Burger again. (She loves it)! I had the "New" Lemon Garlic Chicken, which has lemon garlic butter sauce and was extremely tender. We also had the Wild West Shrimp appetizer. Again our waiter was Brian. He's a very good waiter and very attentive. read more

Service was awful. Waiter was rushing us, got the order wrong. Had to return one plate, our guest was waiting for steak while we were eating, steak was medium rare and over seasoned,we ordered well done with light season. Got the order wrong twice, than we got the wrong bill to top it off. We will never go back. read more

Food was delicious. They did overcook my wife's steak but I fault it as we were the first in the place as it opened and maybe the grill was not at the right temp yet. I did not complain but when the waitress asked if everything was prepared right, I let her know we are fine but the steak was overcooked. Just to give awareness. Next thing I know the Manager came over and was super professional and told me she was comping the steak, I told her it was ok then she asked if she could cook one to go. I was amazed at her desire to ensure we were satisfied. When the check came, the steak was not charged! I added the cost of the steak to the waitresses tip. Simply outstanding service! read more

The main complaint is the foods (see pictures) were very salty, and I meant extremely salty! We ended up taking them home. At home, we washed these foods such as steak with water to dilute the saltiness. The service/waitress was great. I gave her 20% tips. No, I can't recommend this restaurant. read more

Jocelyn Was a awesome sauce server she deserves a raise, The food was very great no Mistakes

Very poor service. Was told it was a 25 minute wait when I arrived. After 45 , I followed up and was told 15-20 minutes. Staff was rude and standing around. Tables were available but not cleared. Ended up taking an hour. With little ones we wouldn't have stayed had we known the true waiting time. We got a table right by the hostess, so unhappy, waiting people were waiting three feet from us. We expressed our dissatisfaction to our server when she finally came and took our orders. She just said, "I'll put your food orders right in. That's the best I can do." No apology or offer to discuss the menu. She did, to her credit, expedite the soup/salad. The entrees arrived slow, she blamed the kitchen "being slammed". While waiting for our food we saw one server bring a tray to another server, point and say, "This goes to the old lady and old guy." They weren't referring to us, but still it was a rude thing for customers to overhear. The food was actually not bad. My steak was okay, about standard for a chain. The Brussels sprouts were fantastic. The rest of my party called their food 'fine'. The service probably colored their opinion. Won't return. read more

The steak was absolutely massive. The price was so low and they taper the seasoning so well over the food so that it doesn't just fade.

Great Service and good quality food . I went with a couple of friends after Christmas for the first time to this location. The young man server was awesome. The a week later later I took my wife and told here to make sure she saves lite on the seasonings since she is not into high seasoning when I cook on the grill .. She loved her filet and i like the higher seasoning and a good New York Strip steak. Can not wait to go back again read more

We always sit at the bar, since it's usually more open. I really go for their Thousand Island dressing... but the long horn burger is really good with it. Service is always great at the bar even when it's busy. Great steak, always cooked right, strong drinks. I'm a fan. read more

This restaurant is slowly going downhill. They used to be good (food, service, atmosphere). However, these past two visits, we just ended up leaving. About a month ago came in for lunch at 2 pm. There were a few tables, maybe 5, but very quiet. We were seated. The bread was old and hard, but we managed to eat a little of it. When we were asked for our orders, we chose the chicken sandwich. The server informed us that they ran out of chicken. Ok, no problem, we ordered a burger. The server said they ran out of beef and were waiting for their supply truck. So, he said we could have shrimp, salad, or soups. So we thanked him and let. Today, we went again around 3 pm for a late lunch, but five other groups were waiting (3 groups of two and two of four people). So we gave the host our name, and she said it would be about a twenty-five-minute wait. Seriously? Only three tables were seated; the rest of the restaurant was empty. We asked if we could sit in the bar area as it was empty. She peaked her head around the corner and said not at this time. I get that it's hard to find people that want to work. It could also be that management doesn't know how to schedule people and order food. Or it just be they don't want to pay for the labor. Regardless of the reason, when your restaurant is empty, and you don't sit customers, what does that do to its reputation at that location? We found another restaurant that would seat our party of two. read more

Food used to be so good. Now the quality of the meat is not good. I had ribs that were unedible, grisly and full of tiny bones. My granddaughter ordered the sirloin it tasted strange and over spicy. Even the Chicken Parmesan was salty. Won't go back. Service has also declined. read more
