My wife and I went to one when they first opened, and thought it was not bad. We went to one a second time, and the food was so overseasoned it was nearly inedible, and we have never gone back.
The fact that they needed someone (the government) to tell them to add less salt speaks volumes.
I do enjoy Longhorn, and will find out their policy before I go back.
Olive Garden and Red Lobster being so mediocre are the primary reason I started focusing on patronizing local restaurants. Since the food quality is going to be dependent upon the cook either way, I’ll stick with small, out-of-the-way spots.
