“Wonderful meal friendly staff we had a party of 8 people we were seated quickly food was excellent definitely in my opinion the best steak house in the smokies“

“Exceptional melt-in-your-mouth filet, Valente our server was delightful, great cocktails, fresh salad. Been to every steakhouse in Gatinlinburg and tonight we found the best!“

“We didn't know what we were planning on eating today after shopping. The guy at the corner said best steak in Tennessee. After we shopped and was walking back to our hotel we decided to give it a try. I am disabled and walk with a cane so we did the drive incline and a few steps. We got seated and Stone was there to get our drink orders. I always choose a sirloin but, none on the menu, Stone provided his top 3 with his favorite being minion. We went with that and was not led wrong very good meal, good price and wonderful service,“

“We went tonight for my mom’s birthday and our Waitress, Jen, was absolutely AMAZING!!! She interacted with all of us so well and cut up and chatted with us and we never had to “want” for anything. She already got it haha the drinks were never empty and we never had to ask for sauce or Anything! And the food was perfect as usual. But her personality and hospitality was literally the best. she so deserves to be recognized! We loved her!“

“Just left the restaurant. Food was very good..hot and served to order. Good atmosphere, great server. His name was John. Took good care of us, refills, rolls to the table, and checked back frequently. All in all, a great dining experience!“

“we ate at the Sevierville location. 10/10 recommend! Sam our waitress was the best. so sweet and never made us feel rushed. kept our cups full too. the cooks there have steaks down to a science as our rib eye and prime rib were perfect in every way! we will be going back in December!“

“I DO NOT RECOMMEND Have no respect for customers. Just FYI when your payment is pending with them it's not considered paid to them. If a card is declined, it will not show a pending payment for what was so called declined. So was literally held hostage showing them the payment posted on my phone while they were telling me it was declined. Had to get cops involved in the end just so we could leave.“

“We had the best experience here for our family of 5! Just getting in to pigeon forge our family of 5 wanted something good to eat. Even in our sweats we were welcomed from the beginning. Our waiter Marcus was the best! Definitely a must try if you want a fun and unique experience!“

“Today we visited LongHorn Steakhouse and had one of the most incredible and memorable dining experiences! It was entirely because of our waitress, Soteria W. 🤗

Her personality was outstanding. In today’s world, it’s becoming harder and harder to find service staff who truly elevate the experience and make going out to dinner feel worth it. Soteria absolutely knocked it out of the park. She was attentive, personable, professional, and genuinely cared about our experience from start to finish.

She made the entire meal enjoyable, welcoming, and memorable. Customer service like hers is rare, and it deserves to be recognized. I truly hope this company understands the value she brings and provides her opportunities for growth—because based on her skills alone, she could easily be in a leadership or management role.

Soteria is exactly the kind of employee that keeps customers coming back. Thank you for such a wonderful experience.“

“We came in late an hour server was very patient and friendly, and we would visit again based on his service. Food was good too.“

“Great experience! Smoked chicken was the most flavor throughout and the seasoning was perfect. My dining buddy had the 10oz sirloin Steak, baked potato, and side salad. The steak was cooked medium well and was great...thick cut and juicy. Loved the atmosphere. Waiter was prompt. Plenty of parking. We will be back for sure. Thanks 👍“
