Longhorn Steakhouse

Pretty nice atmosphere. Good food and has higher than average chain prices so it keeps out teenagers and such.

Texas Roadhouse

---

Good steaks and a much more relaxed atmosphere. Eat peanuts and throw the shells on the floor kind of place. Literally.

Logan's Roadhouse

Never been.

Logan's has peanuts on the floor...

Logan's is by far the worst... The other 2 are pretty close IMO

Logan's does have some awesome rolls though... And there's no question about that.

We have a TX Roadhouse here in LC, they cook some good steaks. Only thing I don't like is even after I tell them how I would like it prepared, I have to remind them. If I don't, it almost always comes out well done. I like it med. rare. But other than that, if it's cooked right, it's a good steak.


I went to a Longhorn Steakhouse when I lived in Florida, I liked it a lot. I got the ribs and they were really good.


They were tender but you could pull away from it after the bite, leaving a bite in the rib meat. That's how I like ribs.


Never been to Logan's.

Texas Roadhouse is great for what it is

I'd say Longhorn and Texas Roadhouse are both very good for the money. I don't know how anyone could expect more when you're paying $20-$25 for a 16+ oz. ribeye, 2 sides (or soup/salad), and all you can eat rolls.

Personally, I'd rather go out less and eat at Ruth's, Mr. John's, etc... But I won't complain if someone else chooses either of the above, especially Longhorn. Their 18 oz. bone-in ribeye is $24 well spent IMHO.

ETA-I've only been to TR twice and both times I ordered the ribeye.

That's me, I'd rather just grill steak at home than go to one of these places. Not that they are bad, but I can do just as good if not better even.

I'd rather save up and go to a place that ages their steaks and isn't a chain preferably.

I prefer Longhorn to the other two.

I have never understood the appeal of throwing peanut shells on the floor. When I was 16 it was a novelty at Ruby Red's, now it just looks low rent and dirty, and I am no anal neat freak.

We've hit Logan's a few times when traveling in Alabama, it's an excellent choice there. It's alright for a dirty place with trash on the floor. Had a steak last time, memorable, but not in a good way.
