LongHorn Steakhouse
LongHorn does the reliable thing: grilled meat, American sides, a space that feels like it was designed for groups and dates alike. It's not trying to reinvent steakhouse culture; it's trying to execute it competently at a moderate price. If you want a no-fuss dinner with actual flavor and a drink, this works.
