I'd go with Nick Ryan's or Blue Heron if I was choosing. Within walking distance to rupp (on Jefferson street). Never had a bad meal at either and able to enjoy good cocktails at both. Probably slightly more pricey than Malone's but are far superior (to me).
You should go for the Wagu beef (some say it's the best in the world) from Tachibana Japanese restaurant near Douglas Park. Then when you're done, you and you're sweetie can take a lover's stroll in Douglas Park. Thank me later.
Reviews below (bighorn stake company):
[/B]If you are looking for a great steak [/B]and great service for a fair price, this is it. This not a top end steak house but the quality of the steaks are a cut above the rest. Our last visit the wife and I really enjoyed the service that Charles provided and the manager Rebecca was exceptional. I ordered the Prime Rib it was so tender and my wife order the tilapia with mango salsa. We both really enjoyed everything [/B]about our experience.
In the ghost town of the abandoned Turfland mall parking lot sits LongHorn...a steakhouse fit for the biggest cowboy in Texas. A steakhouse so rugged, so themed, that it rewards servers with giant belt buckles.
The Grilled White Cheddar Stuffed Mushrooms were my favorite of the two appetizers we sampled. The mushrooms were cooked perfectly. They were tender and delicious with a generous helping of cheese [/B]and sauce on top. Mushrooms are easy to get wrong, but LongHorn gets them oh so right! I also enjoyed the Wild West Shrimp. It was spicy and served with peppers.
The Farmers' Market Bibb Salad was beautiful to look at and delicious to eat. It was great to hear about how LongHorn offers seasonal dishes to take advantage of ingredients when they are at their freshest.[/I]
I rare[/B]ly eat steak[/B], so their 7 oz Flo's Filet was a real treat for me[/B]. It had a great flavor to it and didn't require any steak sauce to enjoy. Although, I did sample the savory steak sauce that our excellent server, Chase, prepared tableside. I had the loaded baked potato as my side and it came full of butter, sour cream, cheese, and bits of bacon.
Confession: sometimes I come to LongHorn and eat a salad just so that I can eat every bite of their thrilling Chocolate Stampede dessert. It's the best chocolate cake in town.
[/B]
Man, LongHorn knows how to make customers stuffed. We were treated to a five course dinner compassing[/B] of a grilled white cheddar stuffed mushrooms Wild West shrimp, new Farmers' Market Bibb Salad which was fresh and looks like it came out of the Farmers Market.
The chicken was delicious, but not the best in town though this is a steakhouse so my gut feeling is like other reviewers that the steaks are one of the best in town but I can't fetch for that
However, I can fetch the vegetables were fresh and authentic which you typically don't find in a chain restaurant.
The dessert especially the chocolate stampede was to die for, it was a TEXAN sized two HUGE 7 layer chocolate cakes with two gargantuan scoops of vanilla ice cream and the new blueberry lemon butter cake is an interesting addition to the LongHorn brand, my girlfriend said it is good for breakfast.
The general manager is extremely friendly and has a big heart like the state of Texas[/B]. We had a genuine conversation and you can tell that he cares about the restaurant.
While I flunked my steak education, at least I got to learn the art behind cooking steak and how serious it is.
The staff were attentive and always trying to make sure we were satisfied and pleased. I left the restaurant with aloose belt and a free pass to the gym for the week
An epic and well organized event! Kudos to all of those involved in planning.
First visit to this place.
Wanted to like it but didnt.
The bread was good, so was salad.
I ordered a flat steak, but they were out of it. Tried sirloin which was poor and I couldn't eat. Manager offered to let me try something else but after trying another entree I just gave up. Very disappointing.
Excellent steaks the most juicy and tasteful in town. Of course longhorn steakhouse in each state I have been to has always been consistently of the highest quality steaks. The attention to detail on freshness is the key to a wonderful dining experience
This review is for my visit a few weeks ago and my general experience that I have had with Longhorn's in the past. I did visit here last night for a yelp event and if all my previous experiences had been like the one last night I would rate them at least four stars.
My visit a few weeks ago I ordered the boneless ribeye[/B]. I was disappointed that it wasn't as flavorful as it should have been. It had no taste except for in the last two bites I took. I had the sweet potato that night as well and while it's was okay, I've had better. The server that night was excellent, so it had nothing to do with him. Every time I've ate at a Longhorn, the steaks haven't wowed me[/B]. I prefer TX roadhouse and Malone's steaks over here. Now saying that, I finally had a great bone in ribeye from longhorn's night at the yelp event. If they were to taste like that at my previous experiences it would rate higher stars
Solid option. Came here for lunch. Service is good, and on par with what one might expect for a steakhouse chain restaurant. Our waitress was friendly, attentive, always nearby but not obviously so, and engaging.
Food is good. I went with the signature chicken and raspberry salad. Didn't feel especially "manly" with that option, but I'd been on the road all week and was looking for something lighter. This was noted on the menu as a signature selection. I liked it! Chicken was cooked nicely - good texture, flavorful, and tender[/B]. Not fancy. Just a straightforward salad.
Entrees at our table also looked to be in that same vein - not fancy, but a straightforward option.
