    Horrible, honestly I could not believe that they served a scone that looked like a fried piece of leather. It smells of bad grease. YUCK!

    Toni was a great server…read more The food took quite some time to come out. When it did, my husbands steak, and mine, was overcooked tremendously. Had to send it back. Waited 30 more minutes for them. Mine was cooked how it should be (medium rare) and his was undercooked. Had to be sent back again. Came out 15 minutes later, overcooked. It wasn't worth sending it back again. Really crazy they couldn't get it right and we were just waiting 45 minutes. I asked to speak with the manager and he didn't apologize for the inconvenience. He did provide two free appetizer cards but I was surprised they didn't take off any of the entrees (there was a party of 5 of us). Chicken wings, mashed potatoes, and the mac and cheese are some of the best items. I also always get the filet. If you come, plan for the time to get your food to take a bit of time.

    This review is regarding Longhorn Steakhouse in Spanish Fork Utah…read more This was absolutely one of the worst experiences I have had at a restaurant. My stepmom called in and ask if we needed to make reservations for our group of ten. We were told they don't do that it was a 20-30 minute wait. So we all went there, put our names on, they told us 20-30 minutes and we started waiting. Mind you we got there at 6:30 because my wife and I have a 19 month old and we were hoping to be able to hang out with our family, get our toddler fed, and then over to bed at a timely hour. 30 minutes turned into 45 minutes. But it's a restaurant, things happen so we weren't too upset at this point. Although we were confused because we did watch a huge group (bigger than ours) walk in after us and get seated. So my sister went in and asked where we were at in line and we were told we were priority and next to be seated. We then got to the hour mark and asked how much longer and we were told that the table we were going to be given had a party there that had already finished their meals fifteen minutes prior and were just talking . The hostess said they didn't want to be rude and ask them to get a move on. Which is weird considering there are people waiting to be sat. It is not rude to kindly ask a group to wrap it up because there are other people waiting. But again, we were told we were next and priority. So then an hour and thirty minutes comes up and we hear the manager call out for a party of nine. My step mom asked him what was going on because we were told we were next to which he responded "just give me a sec," which is quite comical considering we had, at that point, already given him about an extra 3,600 seconds on top of the 1,800 seconds we were told they needed to get our party seated. Totaling 5,200 seconds for those interested. So then an hour and 45 minutes comes up and the manager comes out and says he is only going to be able to get us seated in separate groups. We said okay, we were just wanting it to be over with. Our toddler was tired and we just needed to get him fed and home. Well, we ended up having to wait. And it got to be another 15 minutes. At which point we decided just leave. Unfortunately, my dad was pissed and went and told the Manager off. The Manager replied with "this is nothing new to me, it happens all the time." Which is actually revealing to this restaurant's management competency level. If you have people in your face a lot, then you are clearly doing something wrong. Whether it being the processes, systems, or communication problems. There is clearly something wrong that isn't being addressed. If you read through the reviews here, there is a common denominator: managers, and wait times, (I will leave the food out of it because we didn't get any. Although I did hear a woman leave who said "well that wasn't anything special, I'm probably never coming back." So I will give her a one star by proxy for the food element). But this being the common denominator on reviews doesn't just reveal how poor Zack and Brenden are as managers but actually how bad Chad is at managing his leaders of the restaurant. And that incompetency really just extends all the way up to the owners of the restaurant, who obviously cannot get a grip on how their restaurant is ran. Why go into business if you are just going to be incompetent, like aren't you embarrassed? The issue here is that simple communication would have been appreciated. Even a "hey guys, I'm sorry but we are an hour in and I don't think we are going to be able to get you seated," would have been understood, things happen. To be told we are only going to wait 20-30 minutes and then get strung along for an extra hour and a half is just crappy. Especially when we have a toddler. We tried to audible to Chilis but at that point it was 8:40 at night, they told us about 30 minutes so we just had to get our kid home and fed. So we got him home, fed him and just now putting him down at 9:15 at night. All-in-all a really crappy experience that strung us along, and then left us high and dry to a decent audible with the family.

    Fun & Flavorful! The ambiance is very welcoming, as you enter you see a collection of retro art…read morefeaturing rock and roll artists, neon signs, old school placards and more. The Menu is pretty extensive - your average American breakfast, kids meals, and a nice selection of lunch items. You order through a phone on the table which makes it feel ever more personal. And when it's ready they buzz you to the counter! Service is very fast considering it being a "one man band!" Will definitely stop here again. Everyone at the table cleaned their plate & enjoyed the interactive experience

    It's Memorial weekend. We decided to go to Mt. Pleasant over the weekend before the big rush on…read moreMonday. We couldn't find anywhere to eat at Mt. Pleasant so we drove to the Spanish Fork location. My mother-in-law was opposed to us stopping here because she has a bad experience 30 years ago. We talked her into giving ac second chance. I ordered #2 Hanks Country Breakfast which included a chicken fried steak, hash browns, eggs, and biscuits and gravy. The chicken fried steak was crispy and not too much gristle like you would get with most cfs. The gravy was had a nice hearty flavor and with black pepper infused with the gravy. This gravy tastes really familiar to me. I thought I took a picture of my dish. I guess I didn't. The gravy was the same gravy that was on the biscuits and gravy. Again, very familiar with the b & g. The hash browns were cooked in butter not oil and had a nice light brown crust on both sides. I really appreciated this. My scrambled eggs were nice and fluffy and had a nice firm texture. I also ordered the Crazy Eights which is supposed to be "Italian Donuts" with Carmel and chocolate sauce drizzled on top with a chocolate dipping sauce. The "Italian Donuts" turned out to be the Utah Scone chopped up in triangles. I enjoyed the caramel drizzle but not the chocolate sauce, which was too bitter for my tastes. After thinking about why the biscuits and gravy tastes so familiar, they remind me of the biscuits and gravy from the IHG (Holiday Inn, etc) hotels I frequented when I was on the road. These b&g are supplied by Sysco Foods. Like I said, they taste a little too familiar for me. I'm not complaining, I really like these! What I am complaining about is how you order. I think using the phone at the table to order our food reminds me of the old "Training Table" restaurant chain. I didn't appreciate the "rules" on how we needed to order and that we couldn't split the check. They didn't even deliver the food to our table. I definitely won't be leaving a tip for service! My other complaint were the restrooms. They were nasty. I would've rather went in the bushes behind the building. Check your restrooms!!!! Good thing I didn't go in there before I ate.
