Terrible, sat there for 20 min and no one came to the table.. and it was almost empty. Never coming back

We had supper on Friday 11/21. Have not eaten at a Longhorn in several years. The food was good, the service was excellent (sorry can't remember server's name but we talked about Thanksgiving and I think he said Braden or Caleb maybe), the atmosphere was great, and the restaurant was the cleanest restaurant we have ever eaten in. Thanks! Will definitely visit again. read more

The one star is really only because Yelp doesn't allow zero. Now hear me out - this entire review is solely about the customer service experience...and lack of all positive leadership. Why? Because we never got to the part where you eat the food at the restaurant. First, it was a Saturday night so a wait was expected and the hostess (who I think was actually the manager) told us - a party of 2 - along with everyone else who walked in the door after us, that the wait time was 30-35 minutes. No prob. We settled in, scrolled our phones, chatted and waited. Now, mind you it was obvious they have a staffing issue because I excused myself to the restroom before we got seated and only 2/3 of the restaurant seating was even being utilized. As a business owner, that's leadership failure #1. But #2 came soon thereafter as once we had waited 45 minutes we inquired only to be told we still had many parties ahead of us. I guess they were all waiting in their cars since the restaurant utilizes text messages to notify you that your table is ready, because the waiting room was sparse. Leadership failure #2 - communication. Once we'd inquired a second time after an hour of waiting, we're we then told the next available table was ours. There's no planet where they didn't know their wait times were an hour+ and were only telling people 30 minutes so they didn't just leave and ruin their Saturday night sales numbers - a number that directly affects the manager's performance, the same manager who was hosting the waitlist. Hmmm. So it was a failure in communication or purposeful misinformation to hit quota, assuming people who wait 40 minutes will wait another 20. To add insult to injury, once we got seated, our server - who was the only one stepping up to tell the truth - informed us that the kitchen was extremely behind and that unless we ordered something from the cold salad menu, it would likely be ANOTHER hour and a half wait for food service. Which leads to leadership failure #3 - kitchen staffing. There's NO WAY a kitchen cook time would be at 1.5 hours to table unless there were VERY high shortages of kitchen staff. I wouldn't be surprised if there was only 1 cook back there for a whole Saturday night service. And that's, again, poor leadership. And at the end you've created a disgruntled customer, swearing they'll never return, an overworked cook, who is likely looking for his next gig - like, tomorrow. And a server who just missed out on a $40-$50 tip because she was honest about the service time to not disappoint her table with false notions of expected service. It was a disaster all the way around and CLEARLY not the first time this has occurred. My last saving grace to the others in my situation was to enlighten the rest of the waiting room that once they got seated the kitchen times are still running 1.5 hours. The room cleared with me. Maybe an hour of no new customers would set them back on track. But, for me, until they have publicly acknowledged new management - maybe someone who has ACTUALLY managed a small chain service restaurant - my family and business team members will not be wasting our precious & valuable time for a chain-restaurant meal where the competition is vast and the options plentiful. I would suggest you all do the same. Avoid. read more

We love Longhorn! Much better than Texas Roadhouse, Logan's, or even Outback! Highly recommend, the service is always great and the food is even better! read more

Food was good. Appetizer arrived quickly. Dinner was served well & correctly cooked. The Restaurant was busy but clean. Ladies bathroom trash can over flowing. Poor toilet paper replacement this time. This should never happen at any ladies room. Otherwise. We do come back to this restaurant because of the excellent food. read more

Host staff seemed confused as to where to sit us. Party of 4. Server did not know the drinks available. After an appetizer and salads the server used my salad bowl, sitting in front of me, to scrape everyone's remaining scraps into and stack all dirty dishes right under my nose. They were out of baked potatoes. Really? I ordered a ribeye cooked medium. After a long wait I was served a New York strip cooked well. It was not a pleasant meal. read more

Nice people. However took a long time to get the food. It was warm not hot. As for the taste it was ok. But I could cook it better at home. Not a I want to come back soon feeling. read more

Had been looking forward to a delicious Ribeye since I've been in town and LongHorn delivered! I started off with the stuffed mushrooms. Nice and gooey dripping with cheese. Pretty tasty. From there I ordered the Ribeye medium with a side of broccoli. The ribeye was done perfectly and very flavorful. My server Dan, also working the bar, was delightful and very friendly. Thank you LongHorn. I needed that. read more

We enjoyed a tasty meal on a spontaneous Saturday night in November of 2022. It was busy yet all employees were friendly. Our server, Catelyn, was truly the impressive part of our visit. She was thoughtful, informative, prompt & very kind. Because of Catelyn, we felt so well cared for that we plan to stop in the next time we're in town. read more

Always consistent food quality. Probably the best service we've had the last time we went. DJ was on top of everything, super friendly and did a great job! read more

Bought and paid for a bowl of lobster chowder soup. I had oral surgery and soup is all I can eat! My heart was set on this. It would be my entire meal. So we made a special trip from Muscle Shoals to Florence to pick this up. Got home the small cup wasn't even halfway full. I called, the lady was nice and said I could come all the way back today and get a new bowl. I have a broke foot and had oral surgery and I told her there wouldn't be a way I could get back over there today. I asked could someone pick it up for me tomorrow while they are in Florence, since I can't drive. Then her attitude changed and said no either you get it today or you don't get it at all. Even though she knew I was in the right and they messed my order up. They are all about giving you less food on pickup hoping you don't complain. They messed up I should have been able to go tomorrow or they should have gave me a gift card for the amount or put it back on my card. Customer service stinks and they obviously don't care about making customers happy or just giving them what they paid for to begin with. If they did it correctly from the start I wouldn't have had to call. They should do the job right and give you what you pay for from the beginning. Just another restaurant trying to be cheap and cheat you out of anything so they can profit. Shame on Longhorn for treating loyal customers as though we don't matter! read more

LongHorn Steakhouse - Bowl of soup? I got more soup in the restaurant when it was ordered as a side. - Steakhouses Near Me - Florence, Alabama

Pros: very professional and casual staff. My steak was absolutely awesome. Cons: my wife ordered the prime rib that was too tough to eat. They replaced it with a ribeye that was absolutely raw. Dinner credit they completely comped her meal no questions asked. Couldn't ask for more read more

I have eaten at Longhorn Steakhouse restaurants for the past decade and more. I'm generally pleased. However, today's experience is the third time in a row I've been disappointed with their food. Father's Day 2020, I took my husband in spite of not wanting to go due to COVID-19. I ordered a ribeye, medium, with a little extra seasoning. This was the third time (and last time) that I will. For the last three times, the ribeye has either not been cooked to order, or as with the last two times, they were tough as a sirloin. I think they were sirloins. I eat lots of ribeye steaks at restaurants and at home. They are a very leant, juicy cut of meat. Theirs have been like shoe leather and bone dry. This was a somewhat expensive meal. I don't mind paying for good food. I'm a foodie. But, give me what I pay for. They really need to step up the steak game. They are a steakhouse. They were wearing masks and gloves (not changing out between cleaning tables, though). Wearing the masks was a plus! On a final note, the bathrooms were out of soap and paper towels, so HOW were the workers and guests washing their hands!?! I shudder to think. I did tell them. Let's do better, Longhorn. read more

Although the food & service was great, I can't honestly give 5 stars because the wait to be seated was unbelievable; an hour! We arrived at approximately 5:15pm and weren't seated until 6:15pm. I expected the restaurant to be busy on a Friday evening, but never expected it to take an hour to be seated. After we were seated though, the service was fast and the food was prepared and delivered before we could consume the bread the server brought us. The service was awesome and our drinks (tea, water & diet coke) were kept full. One of the dishes arrived at the table incorrectly prepared, but it was taken back and rectified in just a few minutes. Overall, it was a pleasant meal and we enjoyed sharing it with family, but the wait was what spoiled the experience. read more

Love this steak house It's so good!!!!Good service good food good people my peopleI love it!!!!

Very Nice and Clean Atmosphere Food is very Delicious I love it! I always enjoy it and so sore my Husband

Our food was just as good as always, but we did not have a great experience this time. They were out of all soft drinks and most of their selection of beer. Our waitress was a little scattered so the only good thing about our meal was our steaks. read more

My husband and I ate here for our anniversary. We're both VERY picky when it comes to our steak, and I must say they were cooked perfect to a T. Also, to our surprise we received a card signed the entire staff! We will DEFINITELY be back for more date nights and anniversaries to come! read more

We go here frequently for lunch. Service is always good and the lunch menu is great. The food is always well prepared and tasty!

Arrived at 230 on a Thursday afternoon walking to desk for a table a waiters walked up and said in a very very ugly way they will just have to wait. The we were informed that had tables but was understaffed. We left I can handle the wait but already hearing a waitress say that on a off day. No thank you read more

Server did a great job. The food was delicious. I was grateful we made this choice. The wait was shorter for three than we were told. All the food came out quickly and was piping hot and delicious. read more

First of all, the host was rude and uninviting. The salads took 25 minutes to come to the table and when they arrived it was yellow and not chopped well. My $24 ribeye was %78 fat. Not ribeye fat, I mean poor meat quality fat. I ordered medium rare and it came out medium well. The server took so long to come back that I ended up just taking it home to the dogs. My lobster Mac and cheese was amazing so if it weren't for the bad service and poor quality food I would recommend this restaurant for anyone who loves lobster Mac! read more

Not a single complaint. Everything was perfect. Had the sampler which was yummy. We each had a ribeye that was delicious and cook to perfection. The chocolate stampede was amazingly good. Stephen, our waiter, was just attentive enough as not to be annoying. The food came in perfect timing too. It wasn't so fast that plates were piled up and not so slow that there was down time between. We had a great evening!! read more

Over the past few year my family loves to visit LongHorn. Our local LongHorn is a great place to eat a steak. We enjoy the atmosphere and the service has always been great. read more

Waited about 40 min. Just for salads. We learned through our server that they lost our ticket in the kitchen. The server stated that he would get the manager to comp the meal, however when the manager came to our table he stated that he would only give us a discount ( 25% ). There are to many restaurant in Florence that i can give my money to! # Willnotbbackanytimesoon read more

Service was extremely slow , porkchop was to salty and the baked potato was small and cold. The food quality isn't there for the prices they ask. read more

Two notches above the other local chain steakhouses. Mercifully no peanut shells tossed on the floor to slip and slide on. No corporately mandated "impromptu" line dancing by the staff just quality food for a fair price without ridiculous gimmicks. The staff always seems like a revolving door of folks which makes me wonder what the management must be like and as a result the service is the least consistent aspect of the location. Steaks are usually served the temperature below what's ordered which can be frustrating so if you want medium rare, order medium. The dining room is clean, the food is good and the price is more than fair. read more

This place was so trashed! I watched 10 employees walk past trash and no one stopped to pick it up, including the manager! It looked like throwing peanuts on the floor at Texas Roadhouse but instead it was trash! I'm serious! Napkins, food, straw wrappers! GROSS!!! read more

Placed an order for pickup, was ready when they said it would be. Ordered ribeye (cooked perfectly), mashed potatoes and a Caesar salad, everything was great and staff were attentive and friendly when I went to pick up the order. Will be back! read more

I had been a regular for lunch because although the food was mediocre, they had a great lunchtime bartender. She would go out of her way to accommodate my dietary needs. The last 2 times I have been there she wasn't working and the service was HORRIBLE. Rude, food cold. I have started going to Cracker Barrel or UMI instead. I really miss Danni at the bar. read more

Can't give much of a review we just stopped by for cheesecake all was good. Gave a 4 due to one of our coffee cups went dry for a pretty good while before we could get it refilled. read more

Definitely not the greatest steak. Filet tasted mushy not tender. They forgot my corn and I was almost done with my meal before the server ever checked on our table for me to mention it. He also brought my kid a chocolate milk refill which was way too much. A kid does not need that much chocolate milk. I also had to scavenge my kids silverware to eat my meal because he never brought me any after I requested it. Oh, and they dumped a ton of honey mustard on my side salad. Oh yeah and he grabbed my glass at the top with his fingers. Grossed me out. Oh and can we get a check already! I will not be back to this establishment!!! read more

We had the Delmonico...it was awesome! Cooked just right, tender and juicy. My compliments to the chef. We will be back!

The service was extremely slow. Took forever to be seated. The pager to ring our party never went off. After seated we received our drinks and appetizers. We never received one refill. We had to have the manger come to our table multiple times because we never received our food even after being there 2 hours. read more
