We had a date night here last night and sat at the bar. Our bartender Sam was so helpful! He really knows the menu and the specials and takes the time to explain if we had questions. Even tho he was working the bar and waiting on tables too, we did not feel ignored in any way. Everything was timed perfectly, from appetizer to salads to entrees. We had the homemade potato chip appetizer, and they were warm and crunchy, very tasty! Our entrees were done correctly and cooked perfectly too. I asked for the grilled shrimp add-on and it was delicious! We really appreciate having a great meal when we get the chance to go out, and this really is as good as it gets!
Review Source:Good steaks and great value for your money. We always get good service here. Last time we ordred the porterhouse for 2 and it was great. The tableside steak sauce is wonderful. I would suggest ordering some additional sides though because we felt we wanted more. The atmosphere is country western. We are not fans of that music and it is loud which is the only downfall but the seating is comfortable. I like the skinny cocktails selection.
Review Source:Not sure if this was a one-off or the quality has declined. My last visit in November, my steak was tough and not as flavorful as usual. Â The sole time I have ever regretting coming here.
What was right was the shrimp cocktail - (picture) delicious and the broccoli (picture) perfectly prepared. Â I am not writing them off for the one bad taste experience, but I hate spending so much on a steak meal when the steak isnt up to par. Waiter never asked if we wanted more bread either.
One star downgrade.
I don't usually go to chains. Â Due to location (Mannheim Rd near O'Hare) and having turned in our rental car, it was a choice of chains. Â Thankfully Yelpers had given the nod to this Longhorn. A pleasant surprise!
Our bone-in ribeye steaks were high quality and grilled perfectly. The fresh seasonal vegetables and fresh green beans were perfect, not overcooked. Â Even my wife's by-the-glass wine was good.
Our server Kim was efficient and super friendly. Â I would happily go back to this Longhorn if overniting near O'Hare again.
Not the greatest place.
Service was super slow
waited forever to order and server wouldn't take our food order when we were ready.
The food was okay, I ordered the sirloin wrapped with bacon with sweet potato.
I had a hard time cutting it, the whole table was shaking but i loved the sweet potato.
Probably won't come back
This place is right outside of the Radisson, so I found myself here a few times. Â The food is what you'd expect; it fills your stomach, nothing flashy. Â I really liked their side caeser salad. Â Although they had messed up a few of our items, the server immediately replaced them no questions asked. Â My friend and I couldn't find a bloody mary on the menu, but the bartender made us one anyways. Â That bartender was awesome! Â Great staff all around.
Review Source:I ate here twice out of convenience since it's literally just next door to the lodging where I've stayed in Chicago. The service was slow as molasses and the bartender had ZERO personality. Â Extremely weak and unfriendly. Â It's like he had the case of the blahs and that's 3 days in a row. Â I think it's the wrong job for him.
However the only thing good I can say is that the food was good when it finally arrived. just be ready to sit about an hour before your food comes. Â Not sure what else to say. Â If there was an Outback Steakhouse nearby, I would go there instead.
OK, I first want to say I love LONGHORN. Their chicken parm is absolutely fabulous. My mouth is watering right now for it. But that is neither here nor there. Â
I have been to this Longhorn 2 or 3 times now, and I have NEVER had a problem. I have always received not great but EXCELLENT service. BUT, my last trip it was the COMPLETE opposite.
We arrived around 5:00, the restaurant was deserted. Â Which we thought was extremely odd. Â
The hostess seated us at a booth, a few minutes later our waiter comes out and introduces himself. Â I do not remember his name but it started with a G. He takes our drink order, and doesn't show up for another 5-7 mins, keep in my mind we haven't received our drinks yet. Â When he does finally show he takes our food order and leaves. Â Time goes by, we wait, and wait, and wait some more till finally at last we received our food!
That part I don't get there was no one in the restaurant...WHY DID IT TAKE SO LONG?
Anyways, our waiter only came back to check on us once. Meanwhile, our drinks had condensation around the glasses because they were only filled once and that was when we first received them.
Honestly, I am extremely hesitant in coming back, no matter how much I am craving their chicken. Â We were treated badly, like we were inconveniencing him. Â He was not happy, maybe it was an off day for him, but still that is no way to treat the people that are going to tip you.
We are staying at the hotel next door (Radisson) and, as it was a cold late evening, we decided to stop here to have dinner and some drinks. Â
The drinks: Â My friend ordered a martini and I ordered a beer. Â The martini is the smallest I've ever seen. Â It looked more like a kids drink. Â A super tiny glass that it was finished in a handful of zips. Â My beer was fine as you really cant cheat on those!
The Food: Â We ordered a couple of appetizers starting with the Fried Chicken Tenders. Â They were soooo greasy it was not even crispy. Â Seems that the oil they were friend on has been used over and over and over. Â Tasted more like oil and the drips of it as you picked it up made your heart arteries wanting to bounce off your body. Â The salad was ok as it has to be very bad to screw up a salad.
For the main course, I ordered a glass of wine and it was very cheap tasting. Â Not enjoyable at all. Â Food-wise, I ordered the grilled salmon and my friend the steak and lobster combo. Â My grilled salmon was good but the sweet potato that came on the side had way too much brown sugar and butter. Â I had one bite and left it there. Â The rice was good. Â The steak was ok but I wished it has better taste and not as chewy. Â The lobster was good. Â However, it just felt cheap, too greasy, too buttery and just massed produced...
One of my pet-peeves is when the server brings you the check while we are still easting which she did. Â What if we wanted dessert or something else? Â What's the rush? Â There is no one waiting! Â While she was friendly, it was more like she had to bel. Â The bathrooms were clean but could have used a little touch up.

So I met my sister here for lunch and I was surprised at how good the food actually was!! Service was good and fast. Hot bread on the table. My sister and I shared a ribeye steak and we both got a lobster each. Comes with 2 sides. Steak was yummy, cooked just right! As for the lobster, it was a little tiny but still good. Â We also got watermelon margaritas! Very yummy and the watermelon sugar rim was delish! The price is very reasonable too! If I lived closer, I would come here more often.
Review Source:Chain restaurant with a good solid menu and general offerings. Â I went with the grilled salmon and rice; yes I did get salmon at the steak house. Â I wanted something a little lighter and I have had their steaks before. Â Steaks in the past were fine.
The salmon was grilled well. Â A nice smokey flavor that was cooked to medium rare as requested with a soft center. Â The fish was a good cut that was not overcooked or dry. Â This was really great considering that we had a large party (over 15 people) and the dishes arrived fairly consistently around each other.
The staff was friendly and pleasant despite the crowded tables from our large group. Â While not the best seafood or steaks I have ever eaten it is fairly well done and reasonably priced for a night out. Â The staff was friendlier and more pleasant then the Longhorn I have eaten at before.
Another of our daughter and Dad get together dinners before she goes off to college and I move back to So Cal. Once again this is a mid-range steakhouse; She loved her fish-dish (Trout, I think) took it home and loved it as a leftover, I had the Rib-eye, i believe they use butter on it like Ruth Chris does but I could be wrong, anyhow it was delish. Now that my girls grown I'm no longer in a hurry so I just enjoyed my meal until the steak got cold at which time our server, who was a little doll took it back and got it re-heated for me. Once again a very enjoyable, kicked back evening with the only other human being that I love.
Review Source:I rounded up to 3 stars, but this place BARELY gets the 3 stars. Â We came here for dinner and picked the place based on its location and reasonable prices. Â Service was friendly but SLOW. Â It was a weeknight and everything took time - from getting our drinks, to our salads, to our entrees.
The food was mixed - okay across the boards.  There is nothing really special about it.  First, I asked for my steak to be medium rare.  The waiter repeated this with the description.  When  I got it, it was medium to medium well.  How does a steakhouse not cook a steak to order?  Not happy at all.  Nevertheless, I tried a bit and it was still juicy and well-seasoned so I decided not to complain or send it back, but it was a huge discount in the Yelp ratings.  The shrimp with it was very tasty.  My sister got the burger and said it was good, but "just a burger." The rest of the party seemed to enjoy the food but was also frustrated by the painfully slow service.
I always get one of the two cuts of ribeye and though the meat can be a bit flabby it is always tasteful and seasoned well. I prefer the rice with my steak as it tastes great when soaked up with teh beef's juices.
With a side and a salad for $19-$22 I don't know where I can find a much better inexpensive steak in Chicagoland.
The atmosphere is very tame and family oriented but for the money and food quality it makes up for this. This is a chain, similiar to Texas Roadhouse but much, much better food.
The wait staff is always very professional and friendly.
I've always enjoyed Longhorn and Sunday night was no different.
Service is outstanding, but works perfectly fine for me. Absolutely love that they have a whole grain honet wheat bread. Yum!
I ordred the Flo's Filet with Lobster Tail. The filet was cooked medium rare just how I like it. Juicy, tender, delicious. How can you go wrong with a lobster tail? I'm a seafood fanatic! The sweet potatoe was sweet and soft, however, the rice pilaf was very salty.... or maybe I thought it was because I don't use salt in a lot of my food. Overall, quite satisfying.
Everyone else enjoyed their meal and the ability to get either 1 side and salad or 2 sides. Also not an expensive meal considering we all ordered filets.
Stayed @ The Radisson on 3/24/11 and ordered room service from LongHorn. Â
The parmesan crusted chicken sandwich was plump, Â juicy and VERY flavorful. Â I also ordered the shrimp & lobster chowder and it was delicious!!! Â
Called down to the chef to give Kudos. Â YES! Â It was that good!!
I've been to LongHorn a handful of times for luncheons with my co-workers, and each time I've been there it's been a pretty good experience.
For an appetizer, I definitely recommend trying the Texas Tonion, which is fried onion pieces with sour cream and a zesty dipping sauce. I'm not exactly sure what is in the dipping sauce, but it's delicious.
Unfortunately, I'm not a big steak-eater, so I've never tried LongHorn's steak, but I've heard it's pretty good. For the main course, I usually order the fried shrimp. I've also had the Shrimp and Crab Gratin, which is shrimp and crab meat in creamy cheese sauce. Both are pretty good. For a side, I like to get the Mashed Potatoes.
The desserts at LongHorn are tasty as well, and you should definitely order one if you have room after your meal. I've split the LongHorn Dessert Sampler before, which includes the Chocolate Stampede, Caramel Apple Goldrush and Mountain Top Cheesecake. It's perfect for two people to share.
Unfortunately, the service at LongHorn isn't that great, which is why I gave it three stars instead of four. Staff is friendly and helpful, but their order accuracy is a little off. Every time I've been there, something has been messed up, like a wrong appetizer or side dish is served or someone's drink has been forgotten. In the waitstaff's defense, we usually have a pretty large group of eight to 10 people. I suppose with a group that size, something is likely to get messed up, but if that's the case, they should assign an additional server to our table.
Overall, LongHorn is not a bad place. It's reasonably priced for a steakhouse. While it's not an eating destination for me, I'll certainly go there if my employer is footing the bill.
Going into Longhorn for a light meal, I had little expectations and little space in the stomach for any food.
It was game night, more excited than anything for a hockey game and a glass of wine than chomping on some food but I wasn't traveling solo so we made a pit stop before the puck dropped.
It was early so the restaurant was quiet, we were seated in the bar and scourred through the menu to see what was appetizing. Still not hungry but not wanting to look like a jerk, I ordered fish when the waitress came around. My dining buddy salmon. Both glasses of wine to sip the time away, that was until yours truly....after getting into a good conversation and dealing with gunky contacts waived my hand in front of the glass and saw in slow motion as it tipped over and spilled everywhere.
What a hot mess, thankfully the wine only spilled on the table and didn't hit either of us. (You know that would be the only time a cop pulls you over if you smelled like booze) The server and hostess immediately flocked to our table and brought over extra table linens so the mess could be wiped down.
Cheeks flushed, jacket fully off and no longer chilled the waitress cruised over with a fresh glass of wine and said it was on the house. Dumbfounded I took it and laughed with her and told her I was sorry, she said it happened all of the time and came back minutes later with our order.
Foodwise, this is a typical chain restaurant. It's alright but not someplace I would frequent. If staying in the Radisson, stop indeed or sit at the bar and catch a game. It's no biggie.
Would I come back, maybe for a drink and apps if catching a Wolves' game. 4 big whompers for comping an extra drink, 3 for the food.
First meal out in DP, and loved it. Its got the rustic pseudo western that I love, I think the music fits. Friendly greeting, even friendlier service from AJ, and he's helpful with the menu as well. The bread is great, but the butter is scant, and you have to ask for extra. Same goes for the dinner salad, generous bowlful, but not the bleu cheese dressing. I ordered what I saw on a picture, 7 oz. filet and shrimp/crabmeat gratin.  Good, but heavy, steak was excellent, only had a forkful of delicious mashed potatoes. In spite of all this, I still ordered the wrong thing. Basil, was talked into an 18 oz. (without bone) ribeye. It was as perfect as it gets in flavor and tenderness. It's up there with any fine dining steaks, I've had in the Twin Cities. The manager, Jarrod, told us that this chain is coming to  the Twin Cities, as well. I sense a new favorite.
Review Source:Exactly what you'd expect from a corporate chain. Â Other than the interior decorating it is indistinguishable from Applebees, Ruby Tuesday, or any of those other bland, cheerful factory places. Â The service was fine. Â The food was exactly what you'd expect - adequate and unexciting. Â You know exactly what you'll be getting here - so go if that's what you want.
Can you tell I really can't stand places like this - contributing to the culinary dumbing down of America.
Great menu, nice atmosphere, friendly staff. Can't stand the country music, tho. Loved the fresh bread, both what was put on the table and on the chicken sandwich. Veggies were fantastic! Big chunks, fresh, firm, but next time, de-vein the snow peas, dudes!
Also, we had the cheese fries with chili, but there was hardly any chili to be seen.
Great desserts as well and really well made drinks from the bar. I hear this is a great place for Mother's Day.
I recently came here for a business lunch and was impressed with the service we had. Our server was friendly, and very attentive. I decided on the Grilled Chicken & Strawberry Salad --- I never had anything like it (maybe a Chinese Chicken Salad came close) so I wanted to try it. It actually came with mandarin oranges, and grapes as well... it was good, as well as the grilled chicken. Filling for a quick lunch. The lemonade I had was average. But overall it was a good experience.
ETA: I've been back here a few more times and have ordered something different each time. Salmon Salad, Grilled Salmon, Chicken Parmesan Sandwich, and more... and they never disappoint. Food is always delicious!
I consider this a better version and better cut of beef than what you get at Outback for a comparable price. I am a bit of a steak snob and can cook up a hunk of ribeye better than what you can get over at Outback anyday but when I'm in the mood to have someone do the cooking for me and I have a hankering for steak but dont want to spend Morton's or Gibson's prices, this is the next best thing for me.
Service is always attentive and good and I love that they dont get stingy with the bread and butter which are always warm and soft.
Some of the appetizers are hit or miss and aren't anything to write home about but they do the job and usually aren't bad.
The side cesear salad is usually a bit heavy on the peppery side for my tastes.
The steaks though are always nice, thick and juicy and are always cooked to if not close to my choice of medium rare. Big portions too, can't imagine anyone going home still hungry.
Overall, a nice place to kick back, enjoy a decent steak that doesn't taste like tough leather and take in some good service.
We found this place one night in the middle of a snowstorm when it seemed that every other restaurant in Chicago had lines out the door! Â But it was worth the drive because Longhorn doesn't disappoint. Â The food is consistently good, the drinks are just strong enough that one is sufficient to even out the snow-induced craziness, and the staff is really pleasant and responsive.
Seriously, we overate there. Â But everything tasted so good, and of course we knew we'd have to trudge back out into the howling blizzard, so we felt somewhat justified. Â And then we only split a dessert between the three of us, so that was virtuous.
I just landed at the airport, and typically try to stay away from chains in Chicago, but we were starving so we decided to hit up LongHorn, and boy am I glad we did!
Ashley was our server, her attitude and approach was stellar, in fact the whole staff seemed to be at our beck and call, it was as if we had 5 very attentive servers...
Loved the warm bread and butter that kicked off the journey, we also ordered the fresh fried potato chips with that wonderful dipping sauce, sooo good!
We split two main courses, a special with three filets prepared one crusted in parmesan one crusted in bacon and one smothered in butter, yes, yes and yes, they were all excellent although my bias was surprisingly in the direction of the parmesan and the butter, I would have expected the bacon to be my fave but not in this 3way... Â We also split a chicken preparation smothered in bacon and cheesy goodness, the only way one could screw this up would be with dry chicken, and this chicken was far from dry it was on point and juicy!
The seasoned Fries were really tasty and when I mentioned I liked a variety of dipping sauces I literally got berated with 6 different dipping options, now thats what Im talking about!
The mashed potatoes were so buttery and good, just wonderful especially if you fork a lil of the parmesan sauce on your fork first then into the potato pile, oh yeah!
It was the day before my birthday so they also hooked me up with a delightful little sunday which was really good!
I know you may be a bit surprised at my 5 star rating, but as far as chain restaurants a stones throw from the airport, this is as good as it gets, I eat at so many chain restaurants around the country as a professional traveler and I rarely bore my yelp followers with the mind numbing experiences but I thought this one was worth talking about!
As far as a chain goes this one is nice. The place is small considering it's built in the parking lot of the hotel (which can also make parking a real pain in the butt especially on a night when the hotel is full).
We didn't order any apps. We had the new salad though the strawberry pecan salad. OMG it was so good. I would get that again (if we go back when it's still in season)
Steaks were fabulous. My steak wasn't as rare as I like it but then I pretty much want it still mooing in front of me but everyone elses steak were exactly as they ordered.
We all had a cocktail which were really good.
Waitstaff was on top of things making sure you had more water/soda if you were almost done. Making sure the meal was as you ordered and asking how things were going.
Dessert was fabulous. The chocolate stampede was ordered for our table and the portion is HUGE. 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream on the side of two pieces of chocolate mousse cake (more than half mousse and the bottom rich chocolate cake) I have been dreaming about this dessert I have to go back just for that lol
Decor... very nice, old photos, steer heads, saddles, etc... very much what you would expect from the name.
Food... eh. Â I mean, it was okay, but nothing spectacular. Â The steaks we ordered were made to order, the appetizer was okay (chicken nuggets with three different dipping sauces), the desert was stellar (Golden Nuggets, deep fried cheese cake served with strawberry sauce and ice cream - M, M, GOOD!).
Service... good, but not acceptional. Â We were particularly irritated with the fact that our salads came with the appetizer and then before we were done with the salads our dinner was served and we had ask to have the plates removed from the table from food that had already been eaten.
Price... basically comparable to Outback.
All in all, an okay experience, but honestly not so great that we'd go back.
This place was pretty good. They can't get a to go order right to save their souls. This is the third time and I figured I would eat in to save the trouble. But if you are eating in the lobster dip with tri-color chip are great. I had the fire cracker chicken wraps were very good. The fries were not as greasy as they looked. My friend had a porterhouse and I wanted to jump across the table because it looked so good. Our server was very attentive and the drinks hit the spot. I would come back here. But if you are ordering out I wouldn't leave this place without checking it first.
Review Source:I have heard good things about the Longhorn in Norridge and one recently opened near us, just a bit closer. We were in the mood for something different and decided to give this place a try.
The decor is kitchy and full of Remington replicas and lots of Southwestern style fabrics and paintings,as well as more than one steer head on the walls.I can deal with that, the smell was very promising.
This restaurant is attached to the Raddison on Mannheim and Touhy,but seemed to be frequented by more locals than travelers. The bar menu has some different types of Margaritas,I had a Pomegranate Margie.They are served with individual shakers that are shaken table side. One word of caution...make sure that your top is very secure before you pour what is left into your glass,or you will have  tragic spillage of a very good Margie...yes, I made a mess!Our server, Eric was quick with a mop rag and profuse with apologies. I laughed it off and told him I was making myself at home!
Some of the same old appies, Firecracker chicken wraps, Onion Blossom type thing-y,fried shrimp.One that did catch our eye was a lobster and shrimp dip-served hot in a creamy white wine sauce with tortilla chips.Tasty, but had some very salty spots that did not mix, even after stirring, but still very tasty.
I had the petite Longhorn Salmon, one of their signature dishes,something I usually avoid like the plague(signature dishes, not salmon). It comes glazed in a bourbon sauce and is grilled to perfection, not over cooked, as some places often do. It came with rice, which was fine,but I really enjoyed the sweet potato with butter and cinnamon,ate it all up!
Tim had the Renegade, also a signature dish. The steak was a 12 oz portion, plenty big.It was dusted with what is a house seasoning called Prairie Dust, very flavorful and heavy on the cumin and found in most, if not all of the meats and seafood(it was on my salmon as well).It came with a side of excellent mashed potatoes and a side Caesar salad.
No room for dessert, but the ones we saw flying past us looked quite delicious. One in particular-Apple Carmel something looked amazing. Will have to save room next time by skipping the appetizers, not really worth it . A solid 3.5 star place. Our server was good and very helpful when I spilled my drink, he was right there to help mop up the spillage and did offer to replace my drink,but I did not think it was needed. So, a half star up for that! We will return!
