I need to upgrade my review for this LongHorn Steakhouse. I noticed I left a 2-star review back in 2017 after a disappointing experience. I've returned several times since then and my experiences have been consistently positive. Restaurants tend to have high employee turnover rates, and can have personnel issues from time to time - especially on challenging days when they're getting slammed like on that Mother's Day. So here's my redemption review... This LongHorn Steakhouse is located on the north side of Interstate 2 (Expressway 83) in Weslaco, in front of the JCP and Academy stores and in between Texas Blvd. And N. Bridge Road. The current management has maintained the property well. It is a handsome building with the trademark stonework facade, nicely landscaped, with ample, well lit parking. It is handicapped accessible, and high chairs for toddlers are available. It would be good for small groups as well as family get-togethers, and business lunch or date night. They offer their signature steaks, burgers, salmon, chicken, some comfort food like their excellent mac n cheese, salads, and more. I met some friends here for a late lunch on a Saturday around 4 PM. There was no wait. Our server did an incredible job, was friendly, attentive, and checked back on us several times. She kept our drinks filled and even offered a to-go cup as we were wrapping up. The fresh baked bread and butter was delicious, served along with our drinks while we looked over the menu. I ordered the 8 ounce sirloin, a loaded baked potato, and the crispy Brussels sprouts. I noticed the potato had a lot of salt encrusted on the skin, but since I did not eat the skin, it was not a problem - though it could be an issue for those on low-sodium diets. The Brussels Sprouts were crispy on the outside for the most part... I would have enjoyed them more a bit crisper and with some Balsamic vinager, but they were still pretty good. The steak was cooked as requested and delicious. My friends also enjoyed their orders. There was some background music, but it was at a decent level so it did not hinder our conversation. I really enjoyed this visit and dining experience, recommend this LongHorn Steakhouse, and based on my last three visits am awarding them the full five stars. read more

Opened ten minutes late. We were the first to enter and the fourth party to be seated. We were a party of three requesting a table. All the tables were open. Waiter said it would be a 20 minute wait until waitstaff arrived unless we took a booth. Manager sitting in a booth playing on his phone. We left and will not return. Food probably sucks anyway. read more

It is what you'd expect it to be and I'll be back when in town. Got the small filet - very tender and cooked about perfect medium rare. Substituted for the salad so got three sides - asparagus, crispy Brussels sprouts, and added mushrooms on the steak for plenty of veggies and protein. read more

Manager Mauricio Trevinio and Nick Cunningham are the very best examples of hospitality. I arrived at the Harlingen airport from Dallas. I tried to rent a car and found out that my drivers license was expired. I had to make a last minute call to my sister-in-law from Donna to pick me up and take me to my parent's house in McAllen for my visit. To thank her, I treated her to a delicious dinner and wine at the Weslaco Longhorn Steakhouse. After I arrived in McAllen, I realized that I left my credit card at the restaurant. I called and Manager Mauricio Trevinio told me he would keep it safe for me. I asked if someone would be going to the McAllen Longhorn Restaurant so I could more easily pick up my credit card there. He offered to take it to McAllen on his day off. He would have had to go out of his way to go there because he doesn't live in McAllen. No one offers that! I became sick with a virus and quarantined due to my elderly parents safety. I communicated with Mauricio and explained my need for my credit card to pay for my antibiotics and medication. He was so kind and thoughtful. He asked Nick Cunningham if he could drop it off in McAllen on his way home that day. My parents live close to the McAllen location. Nick was willing to drop the card off at my mother's doorstep while we communicated by phone. I saw this young man from the bedroom window do this for me when I was so ill. I didn't want to expose Nick to my virus so I didn't meet him in person. I was raised in Donna but left over 42 years ago. What these two men did for me reminded me of the warm and rich culture of growing up in the RGV. I've lived in Dallas, Atlanta, Toronto and California. I've been to many fine restaurants. No one comes close to Mauricio and Nick. Note: I told them I would write a review a very long time ago. Neither one reminded me or asked me to write this. I've never had so many inconveniences on one trip. Most of my travel is uneventful. Thank you Mauricio and Nick for your willingness to step up and help me. I'll never forget. They represent Weslaco LongHorn Steaks and the Rio Grande Valley so well. read more

Excellent service from the time we got there and seated to meal service to leaving. Drinks were kept filled. Bread warm and butter soft!! The guys liked their meals of steak and shrimp too. Asparagus was wonderful!! No complaints here!! read more

Last two times have been horrible experiences. Won't ever be going back. Both times the silverware was extremely dirty . Our forks literally had chunks of food in them. My glass(both visits) was also dirty ! Glass was greasy and had film and residue on it . Dishwashing needs to get it together! Afterwards I spent the night sick with vomiting and diarrhea. NEVER AGAIN. read more

Great place to come and relax, have a well-done steak, and enjoy! Recommend to everyone! read more

LongHorn Steakhouse - Mango Margarita - Steakhouses Near Me - Weslaco, Texas

I've dined here a lot of times but every time the service was horrible! Had to find someone, or asked the hostess for my drink. Service was very slow. Side dishes were overcooked steak were good. Feel like we're always chasing the server to ask something. Ordered a margarita specifically asked to make it not too sweet, came out Like lemonade and tasted off so I returned it and again had to asked one of the hostess cause I can't find my server told her I don't want anymore but then she came back with another one so I politely told her that I don't want it anymore. 5 minutes later my server came back with the same margarita so I explained it to her the whole thing since she vanished after she took our order never came back to check on us. It wasn't busy at all. Asked for the Bill And it's all messed up. Got charged $3 for xtra sides that I didn't ordered, and I got charged for the margarita that I returned. Went to the hostess again and ask for a manager since I can't find my server again. 30minutes later Manager never showed up. Very Disappointed! Never coming back and would not recommend it. read more

Called early in the day asking if we needed to do a reservation for a party of 5 the kid on the phone said no. We show up and they tell us to sit down and proceed to keep passing other groups ahead of us and even 2 groups of 5 so we just got up and left. There's a lot better establishments that deserve your money over this joke of a fast food restaurant. We got up and walked out at the end. read more

They moving us down because they want more people. Not organized in any way . Worst service ever . Food was terrible. In my a opinion never a again. read more

Poor service. Poor management. We were seated, apparently, in the bar area, altho we asked for a booth. Sat there and sat there (15 min)until I asked one of the wait staff rushing by to please get our waiter. Was told the barkeep would be our waiter. Bar was full up. The expediter, bless her, apologized and took our drink order and then dinner order. Food came. $22 steak & $19 ribs, loaded baked potatoes & Brussels. Plates were beautiful. Food was lukewarm. Not hot. Had to have sat in window 15+ min. I went to the Ladies, entire back of restaurant was empty, dirty, tables full of bussed dirty dishes, floor like the circus was in town. Unfortunately, this is another understaffed restaurant and for a $30 dinner, I expect a lot more. Very disappointed. read more

In Texas you ought to get steaks right, right? Well LongHorn steakhouse didn't manage it tonight. We ordered the Chef's Showcase Porcini Portabella Ribeye - medium rare. What arrived was a ribeye with one half a slice of small Portabella. Looked pretty grim on the plate, cutting into the steak we understood why we got half a mushroom slice. It was because the steak was only half cooked. The bottom had never seen a flame. Our waiter told us that was the way they cooked steaks, on the flatiron. The manager said, "Pshaw! The chef tried to salvage the steak over cooked on one side by skipping the other side. Did we want a different one?" Dang right we did. It arrived in great shape, so maybe one out of two ain't bad.? Wrong. In Texas you treat all your meat with respect.... read more

We had a GREAT experience at this restaurant. We were a party of 20! Waitress was smart and attentive . Her name was Ashley. She took our orde as people arrived. Once everyone was present, she placed the entire order. Food was delicious and served hot. She and her team waited on us. Never waited for anything. This was by far our best dining experience ever. Thank you Ashley and Longhorn in Weslaco, Texas. read more

In from San Antonio and planned a family dinner here. Food was ok, had several complaints at the table about the mash potatoes tho. But I have to say they never came to pickup the use dishes while we were sitting there talking. Also no one swept the floor because there was trash on the floor. read more

Understaffed and ill-equipped to handle the weekday lunch rush. The grilled chicken and strawberry salad is good but not worth extreme wait times. read more

On May 19, 2022 at approximately 8:10 p.m. we called to see if we can make a reservation for 8 people and that we were five minutes away. The hostess said they don't do reservations but not to worry because there was no wait. We arrived literally five minutes later and were advised there was a 30-45 minute wait. Even though we were bothered because we just called and were told there was no wait we decided to wait. 15 minutes into the wait I went to the restroom only to discover that there were so many tables available for eight. Two workers who appeared to be servers were slowly rolling tableware and stopping to show things on each other's phones. The restroom was very dirty with toilet paper cut in pieces all over the floor. The floor was also wet quite a bit around the urinals and I almost slipped. As I walked on the other side of the dining area I saw more tables available. The hostess continued to sit other parties of four and one of five around the area where we could have been and what was open. We continued to wait and I noticed we were already at 45 minutes of waiting. I asked the hostess why we couldn't be seated if there was plenty of room and especially on the other side. She told me that since they are about close for the night that one side was closed and that they had no servers to tend to us. I told her I understand that but why were other parties of 4 and 5 going ahead of us and sitting what could have been for us? She then said they are getting our table ready right now. 15 mins went by (now a total of one hour) and we were still waiting. I was not certain why this played out like this. No manager was seen during our visit. We were celebrating a very special occasion and chose Longhorn because of its reputable menu. Unfortunately we wasted our time and ended up leaving and going to a fast food place. What bothered me is that we were not valued as a guest and that neither the hostess nor the manager made an effort to take care of our party despite the possible solutions to the issue. read more

Service was attentive and polite. Dining area seemed really cold to me. I may have been seated under a vent or something, but I was cold the entire time. The blue ridge salad was amazing. Definitely worth the upgrade if you like salads. My streak was under cooked, but still tasty. The shrimp were well cooked and tender. Overall, great meal. read more

Went here tonight for supper on New Years Eve Called ahead for reservations a week earlier and was told we were in for 6 PM. The girl never put it into the system so when we arrived we were told it would be 35 minutes wait We wanted 45 and then went to find out what was going on and again we were not in the system. When I started to complain the person at the desk walked away and would not talk to me. Not impressed. Will not return Understaffed and running around not knowing what to do. Will find another place. read more

Like most steakhouse franchises you'd expect the steaks to deliver. At longhorn they have a fairly consistent record of delivering good we'll cook steaks. The ribeye, flat iron, and chopped always are cooked to perfection with the only exception being a new York strip that was over when I asked for a medium. Their raspberry and black berry tea are very good. When it comes to sides it's your generic fries, broccoli, loaded mash etc. The usual family dinner chain food. They do have unique apps however. The beer selection is better than Logan's and the service is better than Texas Roadhouse. It is more pricy than those two but only because it's focus is steak, not the Roadhouse menu style. I wouldn't get a salad here. The strawberry salad and the pepper steak salad are not amazing. Stick to steak. The bathroom is usually clean and the staff usually friendly. However I would avoid this place before 12 and after 9. read more

Sunday lunch 2/16/20 I must say we did not check your Yelp rating and glad we didn't. My Parmesan chicken was great and the sweet tater too! Of all 10, no one was disappointed. Service excellent. We will come back for sure! read more

This is the first time I have been to LongHorn Steakhouse. The acting manager Becky and our server Eric were extremely attentive and very cordial. The food was tasty and worth the price (I ordered the strawberry salad with salmon). read more

I was pleasantly surprised. I chose the "Under 500" options which included a sirloin steak, steamed mixed vegetables, and a green salad for less than 12.00. The steak was very tender and juicy. All in all, this was as delicious satisfying meal for a modest price. read more

Came here a second time only because it was my tia's birthday and this is what she wanted. Both my mom and my grandma ordered steaks cooked medium. What arrived was cold, tough, rare meat. Would have flagged down waiter to tell him but he ignored us. Finally he came to ask how food was. My mom asked him for boxes so she could take the steak home and cook it. My grandma added that they asked for medium and it wasn't. He took a look at the steak, left, and came back with two boxes and no apologizes or offers to send it back to the kitchen. Might as well have bought some steaks at HEB and cooked them ourselves from the beginning and saved 50 bucks. Won't make the same mistake of coming here again, I don't care if it's my tia's birthday, my birthday, or Jesus' birthday. Jesus didn't die so we could get bad steak and poor service. read more

The food was incredibly subpar and our waitress took forever. I even had a french fry in my ceasar salad. Our dinner party all agreed that we should have just driven a little farther and eaten at texas road house. read more

The service was terrible tonight. I ordered a chicken fried steak and got something that resembled chicken schnitzel dipped in salt. I guess it was their chicken fried chicken. Sad that a chicken had to die in vain. Our waiter was so inattentive that I couldn't even get his attention about the matter. It eventually went on so long that it wasn't worth the trouble. I just won't be spending my money there again. The wait staff needs better training. read more

Very disappointing!!! Weekday at 11:30 am. Only one other party in the restaurant. It took 40 minutes to receive our meal. Steaks were "well done" instead of "medium Rear". No time to wait for them to cook another one. Baby back ribs were tender but they are boiled with BBQ sauce on top. This is the worse of the 3 big establishments. read more

Great place. Steak is always cooked to perfection. The hostess and wait staff are friendly and prompt. I always come to this restaurant.

Went around noontime and the place was relatively quiet. Ordered the 11oz Sirloin Medium-Rare and got exactly what I ordered. The waiter was very friendly and even honored a coupon for a free appetizer that had expired six days prior. Will definitely come back again. read more
