This is my second year to celebrate my birthday here at LongHorn. I appreciate that they offered…read moreme a free dessert with the purchase of a dinner. Since I had a wonderful experience last time I treated myself to another wonderful dinner. I was welcomed at the door with a friendly smile and seated in Malikai's section. What a sweet young man. Very attentive and really wanted to make sure I was happy. I ordered a beer ($3.49), great price. I ordered the sirloin & shrimp and picked a salad and baked potato as my sides. The salad came in a cold bowl and was fresh and crisp. The shrimp was seasoned very well and the baked potato had a salty outside and was served "all the way". So good. The meat was a little dry but that was probably my fault. I ordered a 6 oz and probably should have ordered it MR. The seasoning is was good but because it was a smaller cut, cooking it at medium dried it out a little. For my free dessert I got the chocolate cake with ice cream again. Now, this is way to much food for one person, so I ate the shrimp, all the salad and the ice cream. I brought home the steak, the potato and cake. Lunch for the next day. Yeah! Longhorn was warm and inviting. The restaurant was busy at 3 in the afternoon on a Saturday. I was welcomed by the manager who was so easy to talk to and who ended up making this an even better birthday by paying for my meal. Thank you Tonya. If you have not been to this Longhorn you are missing out on a very nice experience. Kudos and 5 stars all around. June 2026

The Longhorn Steakhouse was within walking distance of the Courtyard in Jacksonville, NC, so I…read moreended up dining there. They have a call-ahead feature that I used online as I was leaving to walk over, so I didn't have much of a wait. It was a busy place, so I think I would have had at least an hour wait otherwise. They gave me a pretty big booth, too and didn't make me wait for a smaller table. It was a nice and clean environment. The decor is western with skulls, artwork and leather. There were plenty of staff members, and they worked together to keep things running smoothly. My waiter was friendly and attentive. I got the filet mignon with a baked potato and a strawberry salad. I had iced tea here, and they even gave me one to take with me. The filet and the potato were so filling that I saved the salad for breakfast the next day. It was still very good. I did have some there at first. Then bread was provided too. Even though I am not fond of chains, Longhorn Steakhouse is one of the better ones.

My wife and I had the most amazing experience at Ducks! From beginning to end, the entire team went…read moreabove and beyond to help me make this evening truly magical for my wife. The manager, chef, waiter, bartender--everyone was on board and incredibly accommodating. You could genuinely feel the effort that went into making our night special, and that level of service is something we will never forget. When you're trying to create a memory with the person you love, it's the little details and the people behind them that make all the difference. Ducks absolutely delivered. You've earned customers for life. When we want an unforgettable experience, we'll always choose Ducks. Thank you to the entire team for helping make our anniversary evening everything I hoped it would be--and more!

Like many sports bars, they have the music cranked up so you have to yell at your fellow guests, and I really hate that. If I wanted a nightclub, I would go to a nightclub.

I have a hard time justifying a meal out with my wife when I could buy 15 CDs or a new hard drive, or 4 nice steaks to grill at home, or entry to Disneyland for the price of a casual lunch.

We had Our 2 Grandkids (7, & 9) in the group, who can be shy most of the time. Because of all the Appointments we had today, I completely forgot that Texas Roadhouse had a Costumed Character. We didn't see them when we were inside the entrance, or when we got seated, though after we got our drinks, I looked up from the menu, after one of the grandkids had said Hello. I thought the server had returned to the table, looked over, & there was the Costumed Character. The best part was when both my Grandkids had gave him Hi fives, & moved along to the music while him, & the Texas Roadhouse Dancers/Servers were Dancing. Thank u.

What a disappointment.

She was so MIA I had to ask my husband had he seen her when 20 minutes passed without a sighting of her. She never dropped off our check so I finally just paid using the tablet. She only got a 20% tip because I was tired of waiting & didn't feel like calculating less. I told her we were celebrating our 39th anniversary & that barely got a congratulations. We won't be back. When we spend $70 with half of the meal not being worth $30 bucks, that's a sign they're not worthy of a return visit. Phyla should consider staying home when she's not in the mood to work. And her manager should consider having a chat with her amd the kitchen.

CB for me is a hit and a miss. The last 3 times I ate at CB was in Chesapeake and they kept giving…read moreme egg shells in my breakfast. I kept thinking it was an anomaly but after the 3rd visit, that was it for me. After our move to NC I figured that I would give them another shot. And while some of the food was good, the service was not. 2 servers came to take our drink order and then the server who returned to take our breakfast order was at the wrong table, so we had to wait for them to figure out who was to ne taking care of us. I need to start out by saying they were not busy as we were there on a Monday at 1030, so between 2 meal times. I reqiested that the server put us in a quiet spot, away from others as I had a migraine. Initially she did but then 10 minutes after our being seated, she sits a family with children, toddlers, behind me. Directly behind me. The restaurant was not the least bit busy that the same hostess I asked to sit us away from everyone else wouldn't have remembered my request to he away from others. I ordered the baked French toast with strawberries, sausage patties and a side of hashbrown casserole. My breakfast arrived with bacon, which I gave to my husband. The casserole was lukewarm & when our server returned with my sausage patties, Initially I thought they looked good but I was in for a let down because they were barely warm and burnt on the bottom (both patties were so burnt that my fork couldn't even go through the patty to separate and eat). At that point, I just gave up on the sausage. I will say the French toast was good but not good enough to forgive the other misses. So, it would seem CB goes back on the list of places to avoid.

Was in the mood for shrimp & grits this morning and didn't feel like cooking again so I searched on…read moredoor dash to see if there were any decent options in Jacksonville (none). Found Cracker Barrel on there that had a Monday special for a shrimp & grits. Was going to order, but I haven't been to a cracker barrel in over 10 years so my fiance and I decided to make it a late breakfast/brunch date. Went in and asked for the Monday special shrimp and grits and everyone looked at me sideways. It wasn't even listed on both menus as an option at all. I don't recall every liking their food growing up, so I kindly just told the server that was unfortunate because that was what I was looking forward to (thinking they obviously had it, since you can order it on DD). She told me to hold on, went to kitchen, came back after 5 min and said "we have one left". I have worked in the service industry my whole life so we all know what that means. They made me a shrimp and grit anyways even though it was nothing like advertised on DD. But that was still nice of them anyways so 3 stars for that because of customer service! In the end, I wished I would have just cooked it at home instead of being lazy haha. End of story, don't go to a restaurant ever expecting to be able to order something they are advertising to purchase on door dash. I learned my lesson and will call anywhere beforehand after seeing a special meal item on DD.

Over the years I've dined here, but never submitted a review. We had dinner here last night. The…read morerestaurant itself wasn't too busy when we arrived. Plenty of parking. As we entered there were a lot of hosts gathered around the reception area. We were seated right away in a booth near the kitchen pass through area. Our server appeared immediately asking for our drink orders and if we knew what we wanted. We just asked for water and a lemonade. The ambiance was casual, loud, and active. Chili's has their own vibe IMO. They have a bar area with all the typical accents of a sports bar, but the main seating area has very little televisions, which is a plus for us. She brought our waters and vanished for quite some time. A lot longer than expected. After a lengthy wait our server returned and took our orders. We ordered the three for me (big crispy chicken sandwich), soup & salad, and the Fresh Mex bowl. There was another lengthy wait for our food. The restaurant started to pick up a bit. The tables started to fill up. Our food finally arrived and everything looked good. Each of us enjoyed our meals. My bowl was good with the addition of shrimp. Overall our experience was fair. The wait times were longer than we would've expected. Our server was ok. She had a good attitude and filled our waters a couple times. We'll continue to eat here in the future. It's not a staple for us, but if you just feel like going out, this place is a nice option.

Chili's: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly…read more THE GOOD The chips and salsa arrived quickly. The ribs had great flavor, and the fries were good. Our bartender was covering both the bar and multiple tables, so credit where it's due--she was doing her best in what appeared to be a one-woman restaurant survival challenge. THE BAD The chips used to taste freshly cooked and were the whole reason we came. These tasted like they'd been waiting for us since Chili's glory days. I ordered a half rack of baby back ribs. The flavor showed up; the heat apparently called out sick. I like my food hot enough to suggest it recently encountered a cooking appliance. These were barely warm. The mac and cheese was okay, although the noodles had gone past "tender" and entered "surrender." My wife ordered the Santa Fe grilled chicken salad and tortilla soup. The soup came in a cup--a modest little donation to the concept of dinner. The ranch was so thin it needed a life jacket. Whether that was the recipe or an attempt to stretch the budget, it wasn't doing the salad any favors. Texas Roadhouse's salads put this one to shame. THE UGLY We walked in to find six tables still covered in plates, food, and drinks while four groups waited to be seated. We weren't waiting for people to finish eating. We were waiting for someone to acknowledge that they already had. Apparently, clearing dishes as guests finish is a lost art here. Those tables weren't being bussed; they were being preserved for future generations. Overall, this felt like a management and staffing failure, with training somewhere on the missing-persons list. When the bartender is juggling half the operation and empty tables are hosting yesterday's dishes, something is broken. I wanted my baby back ribs. Now I just want my evening back. We won't be returning.
