Longhorn Steakhouse Employer Reviews

A typical day at work consisted of side work, such as cleaning windows, dusting, cleaning the host stand, plus seating guests busing tables. I learned what good service in a restaurant should look like, I now carry higher expectations when dining out. For the most part co-workers were fine. The hardest part of the job was tolerating long hours for little – more...  money. The most enjoyable part was meeting new people, and creating regulars. – less

Longhorn is not unlike other commercial restaurants very fast paced and results oriented. If you are a server or a cook you can do well at most locations. Advancing is not hard if you choose to make it your career. The issue becomes your other desires like family and time off. Be prepare for the unexpected when working at longhorn as well as doing multiple – more...  things that may not be in your job title. – less

worst management EVER!!!

typical managers, care about looking at women, hanging out at the host stand where the hostess are at, typical favoritism of the women they employ there

restaurant not run properly due to lack of concern, all they really care about is guest count BUT lack the common sense of dealing with current issues – more...  that involve guest service

some of the servers there have control issues and try to boss there way around but than don't really do nothing themselves, typical closers that always make the money but then complain to get there way, meanwhile all the new people are stuck doing the hard work and make no money but the favorites get better stations and less sidework and make all the money and then ask for help when they cut to close and have a rush.

nothing will ever change there, due to HORRIBLE management.

that job is a joke, the management there is a joke and the severs there are a joke

one of the worst places to work at in homestead.

darden is a great company to work for but after working at longhorn in homestead I will never want to work for another darden restaurant again.. – less

been with the company for four + year. say there is advancement but never happens. Expect you to do things not in your job requirements. Things they should be hiring professional cleaners to do they have you doing while working. Funny how the managers don't care about TQ (total quality) until their on high alert for them to come inspect. HaHa
Embarrassing – more...  when you have to greet your table with a laundry list of items that we have ran out of.
Managers are never on the same page. One says one thing one says another and so on.
kitchen can be running long ticket time and over cooking steaks and it will some how always be us as servers fault!
Managers dont know how to be professional all the time.
Recently requested off for a friend's wedding and they even emailed me back saying that I would have off and then i was scheduled to work the day of her wedding! . – less

This job was a great job. I learned alot about the restaurant profession.

Terrible management, promises of advancement, but no follow through, long hours, doubles, no breaks, the epitome of overworked & underpaid

I've loved the time I've spent working for Longhorn and the Darden Company. My plan was to establish a career with them and move into management. However, recently, the company has dropped any employee hired after 10/11 down to less than 25 hours/week. I hate to leave such a wonderful opportunity, but as most adults, I need a full-time job.

A great company to work for. I highly enjoyed working not only for Longhorn but Darden itself too. The benefits were great and I loved the idea of Darden Dimes. The people were nice to work with and make friends but also for mentoring. I was a Server Assistant so I seated people, greeted people, bussed tables, and did food running. I loved that I never – more...  had to go in before 10am. The hardest part of the job was when things got really busy making sure all the servers got an equal amount of tables. The most enjoyable part was dealing with the awesome customers, getting to work with great people, and doing stuff that I was actually happy to do. I learned a lot. This was my first restaurant job and I loved it! It would be nice to find this kind of job again. The only reason I left was because I moved to a different state. – less

Typical server gig but you get to wear jeans. above average guest checks.

Wasn't so bad working there for the extra cash. People were nice management was cool always joking around especially the cooks. Nothing hard about the job except for dealing with guests and trying to please them. Enjoyed the discount of the food.

This is a great restaurant to work in the food is excellent as is the management team. It is still restaurant work and one cannot control what guests one must deal with. I have further enhanced my customer service skills and learned that no matter how well or poorly taken care of some guest will just treat those that wait on them as lesser people. That – more...  is not to say all guests are that way for there are a number of them I would wait on for free for they are naturally good people and one must learn to look for the good in all situations – less

My escape from reality, i really enjoy going to work!! I have learned so many things about myself as well as leading other without authority. Management is wonderful. Co-workers practice continuous teakwork. The hardest part of my job would have to be difficult guests.

Employees and managers are really great and easy to get along with. Exciting working environment

Longhorn Steakhouse is a wonderful place to work, great management, good benefits, fun atmosphere. Longhorn also has wonderful food and presentation. Great opportunities for promotions, Longhorn treats everyone with respect and they really appreciate the employees.

Serving is good money. The guests are the best that one can imagine. The job isn't hard but VERY stressful. The majority of the management is running the place into the ground. This restaurant does not back the "guest first" mentality. The management is more concerned with unimportant details and still wonders why numbers are low.

i started working as a Host to later advance in the Heart of the House.. great managers, great team willing to help, great policies "WE C.A.R.E!", and Amazing Food.

- great company to work for and excellent benefits
- loyal managers
- excellent customers(guest)
- friendly staff and easy work enviroment

I had a wonderful work experience. Loved and enjoyed all my managers and fellow employees. Not much room for advancement.

Fun job, but some managers seem to play favorites with their employees, and make some work harder than others. Otherwise, it's an okay job, if you like serving people. Managers lie to you by hiring you as a hostess, but make you do a busser's job every shift.

Longhorn's was a fun, fair place to work. The company throws quarterly contests with prizes for top sellers.
