Very clean and attentive customer service workers. The pink lemonade is a must! Food came out in a timely manner. And very well cooked. The only downfall was. The screens were a little glitched and messed up but the menus were at the registers and the clerk was helpful with my questions .

I am always stopping at this location when I drive thru New Braunfels because of the drive thru window! It's one of the only few location that has a drive thru window! I'm giving my review a 4 stars because they always forget to add the pickle in the Togo bag or the middle of sandwich is still cold. I'm a huge fan of their garden fresh Turkey and strawberry lemonade! The baked potato's are always fresh and loved the potato soup. My favorite go to side is the Mac and cheese. The chocolate chip cookies are yummy too! There are lots of great choices to choose from and sign up for the rewards program to get points! Don't forget to check you for your pickle!

The quality in food has gone way down lately. I got a choose 2 with a French dip and potato soup to go. Potato soup was decent. The French dip was horrible. The roast beef was so overdone along with the baguette. The only thing good was the au jus sauce to dip it in. Couldn't finish it and will not be coming back again.

I ordered ahead and still had to wait in line for almost 30 minutes. Then, I got my food and the potato soup is tasteless. Just blah....

I thought it was a salad place when I first got there but was shocked it was really chicken salad.

Back in 2011, I had a heart attack while eating a burger at the Longhorn Café on Rittiman Rd and…read morespent most of the next week in ICU recovering. And yet, I keep coming back and eating more burgers - that's how good they are. The Big Juicy is a classic and you can dress it up however you wish. I love how my tator tots and fried okra are always served piping hot, like they just came out of the fryer and they haven't been sitting under a heat lamp in the back of the kitchen. And they are always so crispy - I assume they change the fryer oil frequently or they must clean it really well. I have a bone to pick with their chicken fried steak. In the land of great CFS, they shouldn't serve one that had been in the freezer a few moments earlier. In this part of the country, it's hand-breaded or nothing. Having said that, it's not bad, just not as good as it could or should be. Their club sandwich reminds me of one my grandmother used to make for me when I was a kid - perfectly toasted bread and no scrimping on the meat and cheese. Longhorn Café is more or less high quality fast food, but don't expect super quick service. Sometimes it can take 10 minutes for your order to come out. But then again, most of the time it's worth the wait.

We…read moreeach had the strawberry champagne margarita and it was so delicious, not over sweet, a packed a punch! We intended to have 2 each but had to stick with one in order to function afterwards. I had the CFC Biscuit Benedict and you can customize it with spicy chicken or hot honey. I got the hot honey and it was perfect! It was so delicious I don't leave a morsel behind. My friend and I shared the salted caramel brownie for my birthday, and that was also delicious. I can't wait to come back here and this says a lot since I'm not big of fried chicken. Theirs is fried to perfection (soft on the inside and just crunchy enough on the outside). You're seriously missing out!

I have been to this restaurant several times before and it has always been one of my favorites. The…read moredrinks were amazing and the food was consistently great. Last night I finally brought my husband to try it after hyping it up for so long, and unfortunately it was a huge disappointment. Things have definitely changed. I was really looking forward to the chicken fried chicken, only to find out they were completely out of mashed potatoes. For a place known for chicken, that was surprising. So I ended up just sharing some of my husband's meal and our appetizer. The cornbread has always been something I rave about, especially with their hot honey. This time it came out dry, and the hot honey had no heat at all. It just was not the same. My husband's fried chicken was honestly the worst part. It was burnt, with a layer of black under the breading, and tasted like it had been overcooked to the point of being charred. There is no way the kitchen did not see how dark it was before serving it. That said, his sides were still great, so at least part of the meal was enjoyable. Our friend's chicken sandwich was not terrible, but it did not taste fresh like it used to. It felt more like something frozen and heavily breaded instead of the quality we had experienced before. One positive was the service. Our server was wonderful, and the rest of the staff was kind and attentive as well. I accidentally spilled my drink right after it arrived, and they were quick and gracious to replace it even though it was completely my fault. That was very much appreciated. The other issue that really took away from the experience was the atmosphere. Halfway through our meal, a large group of adults sat in the courtyard and had their children sit separately at a table right next to us, while their parents remained in another section of the patio. The kids were clearly having fun and playing games, which is great, but they were also very loud and screaming just a foot away from our table while their parents enjoyed quiet drinks elsewhere. There were completely open sections of the patio farther away where they could have sat, so it was frustrating that they were placed right next to the only other table of adults trying to enjoy a night out. It ended up being very disruptive and took away from what we had hoped would be a relaxing evening. Overall, I was really disappointed. This used to be a place I highly recommended, but after this visit it feels like the quality and attention to detail have slipped. I truly hope they can get back to what made them so great before.

They also carry a number of jarred items (honey, molasses, pickles, jams, sauces) as well as locally raised meats and I enjoyed going aisle by aisle looking my through their inventory I was also happy to see that they carry a number of gluten free items, including flour and pastas that I'm able to find at my local grocery store. I also loved that they have fresh baked breads and desserts, as well as sandwiches to order to go (didn't try any on this visit, but they looked excellent online!). I did pick up a bit of their jalapeño beef jerky which wasn't super tough like jerky sometimes is and also was super salty, which was appreciated. The staff seemed friendly and ready to help. Across from the store is a bbq spot with seating and I'll be sure to visit there on my next visit. The ONLY reason why I couldn't give a 5-star review this time is I had a very hard time finding the prices on a number of items (especially in their freezer/refrigerated sections). It made it a bit inconvenient and I didn't want to keep going up to the counter to check the costs each time. Other than that, I'd highly recommend a visit!
