Longhorn Steakhouse

The newest location of a popular chain, and our new favorite steak restaurant.

Nice sized restaurant,  decorated to suggest the Old West -- there was a display of silver belt buckles mounted on the wall.  Our wait time for a table was reasonable, considering it was dinner hour Saturday. Service was friendly and efficient.

Loved the honey wheat bread, which is served in a loaf, accompanied by butter.

We started with an order of fried pickles, which were tart but not sour, served with a creamy ranch dip.

All steaks are served with a salad and a side dish.  He had the mixed greens salad, a generous portion of  hand-chopped salad, with thousand island dressing and croutons.  I upgraded to a  strawberry and pecan signature salad:  strawberries ,grapes, mandarin oranges,  pecans,  field greens onions and feta.  I could easily have made a meal of that salad.

We both ordered the rib-eye.  The steaks were tender and flavorful.  Note:  there was no steak sauce on the table, but none was needed, the steaks were that good.

He had the baked potato, which comes loaded with bacon, cheddar, sour cream, butter and green onions. I had the sweet potato with cinnamon sugar and butter.

Desserts looked interesting, but ...I was already full.    I brought most of my rib-eye home.

You know that we will be back.
