The food there is good but nothing to write home about. It&#8217;s very much like most other steakhouses. <\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I wasn&#8217;t planning on taking any food pictures at all until dessert came out. This plate of sugar and carbs was so magnificent I couldn&#8217;t help but take a picture (see below). It&#8217;s large enough to feed a small village. And, it tasted even better than it looks. Brian and I agreed that we will have to return just for dessert. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.longhornsteakhouse.com\/menu\/chocolate-stampede\/prod280602\"  target=\"_blank\">Chocolate stampede<\/a>, indeed!<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/27723910016\/in\/dateposted-public\/\" data-flickr-embed=\"true\"   title=\"Untitled\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/c1.staticflickr.com\/8\/7372\/27723910016_578c5c05ab.jpg\" width=\"500\" class=\"pic\" height=\"375\" alt=\"Untitled\"><\/a><script async src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Brian also really likes their brew pub pretzel sticks.
