If you are craving steak, Longhorn Steakhouse has a great deal for you.  From now until October 20th you can get a 3 course steak dinner for only $12.99.  Each meal comes with unlimited warm honey wheat bread to start.  We then got to choose from a hand-chopped mixed green salad with our choice of dressing or a Caesar salad.  Hubby and I both chose mixed green salads.  They were very fresh, crispy, and cold and we really enjoyed them.

My daughters decided that they wanted to share an appetizer (not included with the steak 3 course meal) so we ordered the soft pretzel sticks with honey mustard and beer cheese dipping sauces.  My hubby and I both really liked the two sauces but my girls just liked the pretzels.  The beer cheese was too strong for them and they don’t like honey mustard.  If we order them again I will probably ask for ranch or another dipping sauce for my girls.

For our main course this special came with a 6 oz. Renegade Sirloin.  You can upgrade to an 8 oz.  Renegade Sirloin for an additional $3.00 or the 7 oz. Flo’s Filet for an additional $7.00.  I choose the 6 oz. Renegade Sirloin but added sauteed onions and mushrooms for a small charge.  My husband choose the 8 oz. Renegade Sirloin and ended up with leftovers.  He also chose to have his steak crusted with bleu cheese for a small charge.  We both ordered our steaks medium and they were cooked perfectly.  They were soft, tender, and delicious.  I am picky when it comes to steak and I hate having to cut away fat.  There was no fat on either of our steaks.  I had planned on taking some home for leftovers but it was just too good that I ended up finishing all of my steak.  My husband really enjoyed his bleu cheese crusted steak and since he ordered the large portion he ended up with leftovers for lunch tomorrow.

Once we picked our steaks, we got to choose a side.  The 7 side choices were a loaded baked potato, a sweet potato with cinnamon sugar and butter, a fresh vegetable medley, fresh green beans, seasoned french fries, seasoned rice pilaf, or mashed potatoes.  For an additional $1.59 we could choose a signature side- brussel sprouts au gratin (roasted brussel sprouts and bacon in a four cheese cream sauce topped with provolone, and Parmesan breadcrumbs), fresh steamed asparagus (drizzled with lemon sauce), or steakhouse mac and cheese (corkscrew pasta, four cheeses, and bacon).  I chose the steakhouse mac and cheese and hubby had a loaded baked potato.  He said the baked potato was soft and delicious.  I LOVED the steakhouse mac and cheese.  It was creamy and cheese with a subtle garlic flavor and of course bacon.  It is mac and cheese for grown ups.

For dessert we had a choice of Cinnamon Sugar Dough Bites or a Peanut Butter Cup Sundae.  Since we both ordered the steak dinner we decided to order one of each dessert and we all shared.  The Cinnamon Sugar Dough Bites were covered in cinnamon sugar and then drizzled in syrup (I think it was raspberry).  They were warm and delicious and the syrup really made them extra sweet and yummy.  The Peanut Butter Cup Sundae was equally delicious.  It had vanilla ice cream, chocolate syrup, crumbled peanut butter cups, and whipped cream.  As full as we were from our meal, we all enjoyed both desserts.
Let’s not forget the kids!  There are 8 meal choices on the children’s menu.  My girls each picked a meal but then also wanted mac and cheese.  Luckily instead of french fries or broccoli, they were both able to add mac and cheese as their side for a small fee.  That made everyone happy.  One of my girls ordered a cheeseburger and the other ordered chicken tenders.  Both looked really good and my girls enjoyed their dinners.  I really like how Longhorn Steakhouse gives adults cloth napkins with their silverware inside but children receive a fork and a package of crayons wrapped inside a paper napkin which is more kid friendly for my children who tend to get messy.  They also gave my girls cups with lids so they wouldn’t spill their drinks.  It was as if Longhorn Steakhouse has dined with us before and knows what messes my girls are capable of.  Seriously though, the staff was friendly, the food was great, and we all enjoyed our meals.  The $12.99 3-course steak dinner is a great value so head over to Longhorn Steakhouse before October 20th!
