“Been twice so far and can’t wait to come back! Love the sauce bar! We’ve done both bbq and hot pot, both are great. Wish there were some more side dishes but it’s so much food it doesn’t even matter! Also super great fresh kimchi! Great service and they change out the grills regularly which is nice. It’s our new go to restaurant!“

“I went to this place a few weeks back, and I'm only getting to post about it now. I can't recommend this place enough! I ordered the one meat combo with brisket, cornbread, and baked BBQ means. It was all fantastic! The brisket was so tender that sometimes forking it alone would have it come apart. One bite filled my mouth with heavenly smokey meaty flavor. This place does BBQ brisket the right way, and it's a higher quality brisket than other well known BBQ spots nearby. The cornbread was crumbly and delicious. Exactly what you'd want out of cornbread, nothing more to say here! The beans were savory and satisfying and cooked just right. They paired very nicely with my brisket. I made sure to dump all the tiny tender leftover pieces of brisket into the beans. What a delicious combo that was! If you want to impress your friends with a great takeout BBQ place, this is the spot. It's worth the ride. For a takeout place it really has the right vibe. Soulful music playing, open kitchen setup so you know what you're getting, friendly customer service! The only thing I'd love to see from this place is some additional sauces. Although the quality of meat is so great, no sauce is required, but it's always nice to have on the side. Something spicy would pair really well with this savory tender smokey brisket. The BBQ sauce that they do have is delicious though.“

“Haven't been to longhorn in a few years. My first experience wasn't that great. They really really made up for it with this experience. I had a strawberry chicken salad and it was great. My wife had a 6 oz steak with with brussel sprouts and mac and cheese and I tried both and it was great. She ate all her steak. My salad was fabulous and the service was above excellentParking: Weather lots is a nice size. We went right at dinner so it was just busy“

“Our servers were terrific. One was in training. A real turnoff, though, was the fact that certain people were not made to pull back their hair. One sat us, playing with her long hair, and the other one went around checking each table to see if we were doing ok. All the other servers, sitters, bar tenders, and bus people did their hair back. These two need to be watched. I'm pretty sure in some states it's part of a law. I would like you to speak to them. Everything else was fine. We will return but next time I will ask to see a manager.“

“No no no no, why 3 stars this is not correct!, Well, I'm definitely surprised for the overall score... it is not fair or I don't fell it, I like the mood of the place, music is really alternative, close to electronic, i love the music!, make really enjoyable every minute, I like the decoration of the place, because my wife and I like to drink we sit on the bar, bartender is phenomenal and nice, we order Nachos with pulled pork, they're really good, super loaded!, we got the burnt ends with a different touch and they're pretty good too, honestly the place is really nice, I just leave a 4 star on the food, because I can't forget a brisket sandwich that I tried in TX that is my no1, so want to specify the why, lol. I do recommend 100% this place“

“My friends took me here for my birthday as a surprise late brunch. The service and food were excellent. We got there after 2 pm, so it was pretty quiet(which I liked). Our server(I'm so sorry I forgot his name-young, curly hair young adult). He was absolutely so nice and funny. He kept checking on us and was just an all-around nice person. The food(steak) was cooked exactly how we liked it, and it was seasoned. I don't like steak that tastes bland, so this was a treat that it had some flavor to it. The mashed(whipped) potatoes were soooo good. The bartender did a good job with my virgin fruity drink. I appreciate the service.“

“Don't go for the conversation. Perfect for the stay on the phone crowd who don't talk to each other. Old movie theater high ceilings and loud. The food was good. Started with a black bean corn salsa and chips. Salsa was great. The wings lacked flavor though. I had brisket mac and cheese. Very cheesy with cavatappi which held onto the cheese. Cooked al dente. Mine was missing the sauce however. Burnt ends tender and were great tasting. Staff attentive. My mom got a refill on her iced tea before she was done. Most restaurants don't refill drinks anymore, a plus. Would return for sure.Parking: Huge lot, was a movie theater in its past life. Plenty of spots.“
