Longhorn is a HIT!!!!
Posted by: venusdflytrap on: May 23, 2009
My good friend Patricia treated me to a wonderful dinner at the newly opened Longhorn. It was worth the 1 1/2 hour wait ( at least that’s what she said – I got there from work right when they were seating us – lol). But seriously, from the fresh out of the oven soft crusted nut filled bread and the sweet butter (eeewwhh!) to the mouth watering flo filet steak, the meal was on the money! Not quite as cheap as Applebees, but worth every penny! (Although it wasn’t my penny this time around – lol – thanks P!) I highly recommend the Crab stuffed shrimp & Flo filet steak entree. It was absolutely delicious. Even the sweet potato melted in my mouth. I had Blackberry sweet tea, which was delicious and refreshing and for dessert – now you know we had to do it (and it was all Patricia’s idea -bad influence! – Lol) we had a dangerous Ghirardelli brownie sundae. It was so big, the glass nearly tipped over while we were eating it. We thought about asking him to box it up for us (kidding), but yes it was that good too. The service was great – although our eccentric “d-man” waiter was a little forgetful, he was very nice. We (the food critics) cut him some slack since it was extremely busy and since he gave us a nice warm loaf to take home 8-p. We rated it at about 97 out of of a 100%. Lol. Only because Patricia’s Renegade Sirloin was missing it’s famous prairy dust (or was that fairy dust?) Hhhmmm, maybe that’s why they called it renegade – because it deserted its flavor - LOL! 8-) Her “Wild West shrimp” were amazing though. Recommend those too. Overall, it was a fantastic meal. You may want to wait until all the hype is over though – if you’re not a patient person, since the wait will probably be at least an hour. But if you are up for it, you won’t be disappointed. I can’t remember the last time I had such a delicious steak! It has been so long since I’ve eaten steak that I forgot what a treat it is. I went home stuffed and feeling great. Thank you lord for good friends and great food! My love tank was just as full as my belly!

So what did you think of Mamma Mia ? Good choice ?

We have actually eaten at Mamma Mia’s before. We enjoy it every time we go. They have some fantastic chicken soup – if ever you’re feeling under the weather or just have a craving for it. The V.P.s love it! Lol. Pizza is pretty good too. I did try that trio you had one time, but wasn’t too impressed with the pasta. I do love those garlic rolls though. Too bad though, cause we won’t be eating those for a while 
We’re trying to be good and get back on track. So there is lots of exercise and salads ahead – boohoo..8-(

Sounds delicious! I will wait for the new to wear off cause I am not sure I could wait 1 hour to get a table.

Just do what we’ve done (and it worked out pretty well too). You drive by on your way home from work – put your name on the list. Go home, change and get comfy and then get back in time for your table. We did that last week and the wait was about an hour, so I went home and took a shower, changed and got back right when they called our table. Thank God P got their first though, cause they were looking for the little compass they gave me – lol. I just gave it to them as I walked back to our table. The girl looked at me like I was crazy but who cares? Lol. We got our table and didn’t even have to wait there.
[...] Venus and Patricia have already enjoyed a MASSIVE dinner at Homestead’s hot new LongHorn Steak… [...]

NICE review of the joint. It’s good to hear and see that the joint is jumpin’. I drove by there (southbound on the Turnpike) shortly after 3 PM on Friday afternoon, and the parking lot was already a mad house. That was good to see for Homestead. If they build it they will come !
You girls should go and eat at Mamma Mia sometime. It’s a new Italian restuarant on Washington Avenue in Downtown Homestead. I love that place !
