“My first time going to this restaurant. My food was alright. Plate had been sitting to be served so the food was warm. Coffee was a bit strong. Waitress was very nice. They don't want to hear about something wrong with your meal. The manager never came around to ask how was you meal like other restaurants. It was an experience but I won't be back. Make sure your customer is satisfied with their meal.“

“The food and service were excellent. We had a 6:30 reservation and the server was kind enough to tell they were running out of Oyster and a main course dish which I thought was strange since the restaurant was just starting to get busy. We had four people, and all had appetizers and a main course. Three of us ordered their Lamb Chops that were severed almost the way we order them in terms of temperature. Three of us switches a vegetable that went with the Lamb main course. There was a $3.50 substitution charge for each. I ordered the Raw Oysters, which was $18, there were very fresh but only came with a small paper thimble of ketchup not a homemade sauce or fresh horseradish, and no oyster crackers. I asked for horseradish and some crackers, and they charged us $1.50 for extra crackers. Our bill before server tip was $300. You would think they would not nickel and dime us for changing a vegetable or crackers. Not a good policy. By the way this is a very small restaurant that is very noisy.“

“Solid Chinese joint. You're going to want to take this home. It's not really all that appealing for eat-in.

All four dishes that we got here were great. I wish the egg rolls were a bit bigger but they were tasty as well

Pricing was normal. And the guy at the counter was nice enough but don't be looking to start up too many conversations with him.

I thought the sesame chicken and the garlic chicken were both really good. The pork lo mein was a really healthy amount of shredded pork in it. Can't remember the last time I was impressed with pork lo mein.“

“I recently had dinner at LongHorn Steakhouse in Apex, NC, and had a fantastic experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff was friendly and welcoming, and the restaurant had a warm, comfortable atmosphere that made it perfect for a family dinner or a night out with friends.

The food was excellent. As expected, the steaks were the highlight of the meal. Mine was cooked exactly as ordered—tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. You can tell that LongHorn takes pride in preparing quality steaks. The sides were equally impressive, especially the loaded baked potato and seasoned vegetables, which complemented the meal perfectly.

One thing that stood out was the consistency. Every dish at our table arrived hot, fresh, and beautifully prepared. The portions were generous, providing great value for the price. The menu also offers plenty of options beyond steak, including chicken, seafood, burgers, and salads, making it easy for everyone to find something they enjoy.

The service was outstanding throughout our visit. Our server was attentive, friendly, and checked on us regularly without being intrusive. Even though the restaurant was busy, the staff worked efficiently and maintained a high level of customer service.

The restaurant itself was clean and well-maintained, including the dining area, bar, and restrooms. The atmosphere was lively but comfortable, creating an enjoyable dining experience from start to finish.

Overall, I highly recommend LongHorn Steakhouse in Apex, North Carolina. Between the perfectly cooked steaks, generous portions, excellent customer service, and welcoming atmosphere, it's one of the best places in the area for a great steak dinner. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply craving a quality meal, LongHorn Steakhouse is definitely worth a visit. I'll be returning again soon.“
