“We went to the Crown Embers for our 37th anniversary. The atmosphere was nice and relaxing, wonderful salad bar and the food was cooked to perfection. Pricilla was our waitress and she was wonderful. We will definitely go back.“

“Wonderful food and atmosphere!“

“They kindly offered to pay for my husbands dinner as he is a veteran. I loved the veterans table too“

“I went to Outback for the first time in about a year, and I was very impressed. My steak was cooked perfectly, the kitchen was efficient, and service was top-notch. Carson was a super friendly and helpful server, and she was able to answer our questions, make recommendations, and keep our beverages full. Highly recommend!“

“We love Longhorn steak house. Last night we went and my husband was celebrating his birthday. The food was so delicious, the waitress Nichole was amazing, she was attentive and friendly. Everything about the meal was perfect. My husband had the Longhorn steak with sweet potatoes and mac and cheese. I had the burger with a side salad and loaded baked potato. To finish off my husband had a complementary strawberry shortcake. Thanks for a great experience.“

“Best service ever, great tasting food“

“The ambiance has a nostalgic 80’s vibe, and I appreciated being able to have a real conversation without shouting—noise was minimal and comfortable. For my meal, I ordered the 6‑ounce sirloin steak cooked medium rare with a sweet potato. I added shrimp from the appetizer menu to top the steak and chose mixed vegetables as my side.

The entire meal was worth every dime. The flavors were fresh, the steak was cooked perfectly, and the sweet potato with the brown sugar and butter was delicious. Even the bread with the butter was great. I truly felt I got my money’s worth, and I will definitely be returning.

I tried a margarita for the first time here. It was good, just a bit salty for my taste, so next time I’ll order it with no salt. For dessert, I had the fried ice cream, and the honey drizzle was amazing—next time it’s fried ice cream with honey all the way.

The restaurant was clean, the staff was attentive, and the manager checked on us, which I appreciated. Our server was excellent—she came by often, paid attention to our needs, and made the experience even better.

I’m giving a four‑star rating only because there was an order error that required us to wait for it to be corrected. That was the only issue I experienced. Besides that, everything else was great, and my first visit was truly a wonderful experience.“
