I love the food but I paid so much just for this ... very disappointed I wish there was more added to it the scoop is just tiny bit.

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.

Great Lunch with tons of flavor and great customer service! Will definitely visit this location again.

Dusty Apparent that things are NOT wiped down regularly.

Great tortilla soup. Any club sandwich from there is good. A joyful meal I recommend to anyone.

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....

Very slow the food was good but had to wait a long time. The bathroom wasn't very pretty and the faucet was spiting hard.

Daughter chise the chicken fried steak sandwich which was huge!! Well over the bun and delish. Granddaughter liked the chicken tenders and fries. She loved the white gravy; even ate it plsin with a fork. Casual Family friendly Plenty of parking

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.

Hard to find healthy food when traveling. I was passing through Gruene and drove past this place…read moreonce. I was struck by the outside and what the door said- "Good Food Good Mood." It's true! I buzzed through the neighborhood next door, turned around, and promised not to pass it again. The inside was apparently just redone. The two kids working were super kind and patient with my multiple orders as I became increasingly smitten with this place. I started with carrot cake and a Grapefruit Rambler sparkling water. The perfect snack. Sweet and just the right amount of frosting. I went back to order a turkey and havarti wrap with a side of pasta salad. It was plenty big and very fresh. A perfect healthy dinner for my flight home. I also got a thumbprint cookie which tasted like vegan short bread. Minesh, the new owner, came out to talk with me and he was so honest and welcoming about his efforts to make this cafe a success. I gathered it was his kids who were working. Truly a lovely place. I can't recommend it enough and hope I get the chance to go back some day if I ever find myself in Gruene again.

4.5! This was a tasty, healthy local lunch! Good value too, not overly expensive. The food was…read morefresh and we ate every drop. My salad dressing was kind of warm, I wish it was cold, but otherwise that, I highly recommend! Also, the owner (this is my assumption) had a lovely English accent!
