What people say, in short
Many diners see Longhorn Steakhouse as good value, and a few say a filet or ribeye with sides is a budget-friendly meal. Some diners find it solid, and one says a filet came out cooked perfectly. Longhorn is a chain, and most who name it do not say which outlet they mean. Overall, people lean toward recommending it for a budget-friendly steak, though diners note it is a chain. A few diners are less impressed: one found a porterhouse tough, chewy and unevenly cooked, another dislikes the place, and one calls it a notch below other steakhouses but still fine.
