“The manager Tyler was super nice to my party and made sure we had the best service!“

“I ordered our Thanksgiving meal from 4 Rivers this year. Everything was ready to go when I arrived to pick it up, and they even loaded it in the car for me. The service was great, and the staff were friendly. The food was amazing! The reason I rated it a 4 instead of 5 is because of the way the food was packaged. I knew it would need to be re-heated, and they provided good instructions, but everything came in sealed plastic bags. I was expecting it to be in containers that could be placed directly in the oven, so at the last minute, I had to scrounge around & find 8 of my own Corning ware dishes, pots & pans for heating it all. Then I had to cut all the bags open & pour & squeeze the food out. It took a little more time & effort than I thought it would, but everyone enjoyed the food.“

“My family frequently this location and have never had a bad meal or service. What the manager did this evening topped every experience I have ever had since ever going to sonny's for several decades now. I was having to place an order online to be picked up as we were not able to dine in, had a couple of issues with the app so figured I would just walk in and order. Saw both gm's and wanted to let them know the issues I was seeing with the app, issue was also happening when trying to order the same thing from a pc as well on their website. He immediately called corporate but being after hours I think he was only able to leave a voicemail. After listening to me he takes me over to the takeout counter and tells the cashier my order is on him for having a bad experience. I couldn't believe it as it was so generous of him. The food was superb and we will definitely be back as you don't find customer service like that everywhere you go anymore. They have showed they are not only serious about their bbq but also their commitment to outstanding customer service. Thank you for the great experience.“

“Very good food. Nice fast servce.

“I would like to take a moment to recognize Carolina for providing one of the best dining experiences I have had in a very long time at LongHorn Steakhouse.

From the moment we were seated, Carolina was absolutely wonderful. She was friendly, welcoming, attentive, and genuinely seemed to care about making sure we had an enjoyable experience. Her level of service went far beyond what I would normally expect from a server.

Carolina consistently checked on our table throughout our entire meal without ever making us feel rushed or forgotten. She made sure we had everything we needed, checked on the food after it arrived, and even took the time to make sure that everything tasted exactly the way it should. That extra attention really made a difference.

Our food came out incredibly quickly, and everything was handled with such professionalism. Carolina stayed attentive even though she clearly had other tables and responsibilities to manage. She somehow managed to make us feel like we were her most important customers, and that says a lot about the kind of person and employee she is.

What impressed me most was that her service never felt forced or like she was simply doing her job. She was genuinely pleasant, personable, and attentive. She went above and beyond to make sure our meal was delicious and that we were comfortable throughout our visit.

People are often quick to complain when they receive poor service, but I believe it is just as important to recognize someone when they do an exceptional job. Carolina deserves to know that her hard work, positive attitude, and attention to detail did not go unnoticed.

Please make sure Carolina receives the recognition she deserves. Employees like her are a tremendous asset to your restaurant. Her professionalism, kindness, attentiveness, and dedication to taking care of her customers are exactly what exceptional customer service should look like.

Carolina, thank you for making our visit such a wonderful experience. You truly went above and beyond, and we sincerely appreciate everything you did for us. We left LongHorn Steakhouse extremely happy, and a big part of that was because of you.

Outstanding job, Carolina! You are an absolute ⭐ and a wonderful representative of LongHorn Steakhouse. I hope management recognizes what a valuable member of the team you are!“
