New Unnamed Steak House revealed

We always eat at Longhorn when we go to Huntsville, but we will never eat another meal at the Outback here.

I would tell you why but I don't want to make you sick.

I've eaten at Longhorn. A cut above any of the chain steakhouses in the area. I hope its Longhorn.

Longhorn kicks Outback's butt!

I have eaten my last meal at an Outback, having received an alleged "steak" there that strongly resembled a hunk of gristle from an elderly, cactus-fed gully jumper.

I was hoping for a Ruth's Chris but we already got Dale's and George's so there's no real need for another one.

I hate to hear about the bad experiences at Outback.  Thankfully we have not had any negative experience at Outback that hasn't been totally addressed by management to our complete satisfaction.  I still believe they have the best Potato Soup in the area.  As for the Chain Steak restaurants in the area we have had good and bad experiences at all but, again, thankfully Management has always addressed them to our satisfaction.  As for quality. our experience and take only, Outback has been the best with Texas Roadhouse coming in a close second with the "Bone In" 20 oz Ribeye.  Logans has provided us with some good (not great) meals but doesn't seem to be able to compete with the others.

i heard o'charlies was closing and the new (up scale) steak house would be in their building.

I hate to hear of any place, like O'Charlies closing so hopefully that won't be true.  Additionally given history there aren't many places that open up and do good in a former Restaurant that didn't make it.  Given the location though, if your rumor is correct, that might not hold true.

Hopefully it is good privately owned or locally owned steakhouse and not some chain joint. Would also be nice to have steakhouse that has a good wine list as well.

Longhorn Steakhouse   YUM!

it's not going to be longhorn. it's going to be something nice from i've heard, something to give dales and georges a run for their money.

i wish longhorn would open here and i'm sure one day they will since we do have two darden restaurants that do well.

as far as what we have now, i'll take texas roadhouse over anything we have. logans would be my last choice.

I was disappointed the last time I went to Dale's. The steak wasn't great and the place seems dated. I think George's is tops in the area for steak.

Longhorn's a 25 year old Atlanta chain of restaurants.  We just to eat there every week (on business) ordering their monster 28 oz. sirloin.   They're not peddling prime steak, but they're not priced particularly high.  They do a great job, however.

What I don't understand is how Logans in Florence can be so busy all the time.  It's certainly not top quality food--probably lower quality than Texas Roadhouse.  They just have a strong, regular clientele.

Ruth's Chris does not site its restaurants in places like the Shoals.

i had dinner at o'charlies tonight and asked their manager about them closing. she told me she has heard the same rumor and it's not true. she said o'charlies owns that land and the building and it's a huge tax write off and they aren't closing. whether this is true or not is anybody's guess. 

i did hear that we would get a longhorn in the next two years.
