“went here for a belated birthday dinner and knew nothing about kpot the staff was wonderful! My husband and i got a tour of the buffet,now the food? freaking DELICIOUS! we ate like pigs lol The miso soup base does not dissapoint! Two new fans we WILL be back!“

“We had Limp Lizard wings at the State Fair, and wanted to come to the restaurant to try some other food. We came on a Sunday at 5PM, and it was not busy. Wings were 50 cents, and we ordered smoked honey garlic and garlic parm. We also ordered Southwest Eggrolls. All of the food and beer were delicious. Our server was Ashley-and she was great! Lots of TVs to watch any sporting event!!\nHighly recommend!“

“The best ribeye steak, fresh rolls, great salad and side dishes, excellent service!“

“Great spices, good char and smoke on the barbecue skewers. It tastes super traditional and is reminiscent of street skewers and beer I'd grab late nights or after work. This is the kind of food that is meant to enjoyed in groups and with some beer to aromatize the spices and smoke in the meat. Prioritize the skewers and dry/spicy options on the menu as this place specializes in that. As is traditional in Chinese restaurants, they offer a wide expanse of options that may not reflect their specialty. I hope this place takes off and they can continue to grow/improve their service. I will be bringing friends here in the future.“

“We had lunch here today and everything was amazing! Our Dad asked about Sloppy Joes and the server pointed out that they didn’t have them on the menu but suggested the brisket grilled cheese. Before our food arrived the serve came out with a specially made sloppy Joe for our Dad. He ate the whole thing and said it was delicious! I had the brisket grilled cheese and that was very yummy! For the chef to make a custom dish was so unexpected and very much appreciated. It was nice to see Dad happy and have a full belly!!!! We will be back for sure!“

“We used to frequent here often and always got the burnt ends sandwich with sweet potato fries as one of the sides. The other dish pictured is the regular brisket sandwich with regular fries (I added my own cheese bc $2 for them to add cheese is insane). You used to have to pay extra for that side of sweet potato fries, but not anymore. The serving of sweet potatoes fries is just…sad in comparison to the regular fries. I think I’d rather pay the extra for the sweet potato if it means you’d get a normal serving of them, especially since the other sides are also so small.

Also placed an order at 6:53, was told 25 minutes, got there at 7:15, didn’t get the order until almost 7:50. They weren’t very busy aside from a larger table in the back and a few people at the bar. The wait wasn’t really an issue until the third time being told to come back in another 10 minutes.

The food was sub par. The side of mac & cheese tasted like just plain noodles. The sandwiches were okay, wish there was more BBQ sauce on my regular brisket, it was a bit dry.

I’ll assume it was an off night for them and just dock one star for this and will have to try again another night.“

“We had a wonderful night here for my Niece's birthday. We were seated almost immediately for 10 people. Kat and MacKenzie were our waitresses, and they made our experience here a great time. Thank you also to the manager /receptionist who helped us out when our planned location at the Longhorn in Camillus was very rude to us! Never going to the Longhorn in Camillus ever again!“

“Came from Alabama, not really that relevant. Place is cozy, food was amazing, like hit the spot kinda way with huge portions, specially the three-way meat platter, you could feed 2 third world country family with the size of it. Anyway yeah it was great!!“

“A fine place to eat. Today, my steak wasn’t cooked just right so I mentioned something to the manager and he was more than helpful. He worked it out and I was pleased with how he handled the situation. At Longhorn you get good portions and good food for a reasonable price and a staff that tries their best to make your experience a good one. Highly recommended.

Update - last night (12-31-25) was one of the best meals I’ve ever had. I highly recommend this place. Really good food at a reasonable price. Great service as well!“
