Longhorns Barbecue Smokehouse in Newcastle upon Tyne

We went here to try it out when it was taken over by bijoux as Longhorns had previously been our favourite restaurant. We opted to sit in yet everything came in take away containers which may be to cut costs but it kind of ruined the vibe. The music was absolutely blasting as if we were in Bijoux club. The menu stated the burger had 'tomato' which I assumed meant a fresh tomato not tomato sauce so I didn't remove it, but would've if I'd known it was ketchup as I'm not a fan. My partner found 2 hairs in his burger baring in mind this was only around 2 weeks after opening back up. The staff weren't very attentive just stood at the door watching people walk past, it seemed as though Bijoux had hired their promoters to work there. When we went it was 50% off and still came to £17 so I am glad we went then and not when it would've cost us £34 because it really was mediocre, fast Food which didn't warrant a cost of £34. Won't go back and overall pretty disappointing

THIS WAS CALLED LONGHORNS. REVIEWED AS LONGHORNSWhere to begin with this place...The two ladies serving were run off their feet, friendly, helpful and professional and are worthy of being employed in a far better restaurant.The issues ihave were wait times , Wednesday not weekend. The other issue was what was actually served.40 minute wait for 2 starters was the precursor for what would follow.Loaded chips with prawns and steak resembled nothing to the photos I have seen. Mine resembled something thrown together in a 'soup' of a sauce...how any chef could produce that clearly has no pride in their work.The staff kindly offered to exchange this meal but to be honest I didn't fancy another half hour wait.My companions dirty longhorn fell very short of the mark too.Please refer to attached photos.Having shown the chef the quality of his work compared to my expectations, having said his bit, agreed not to charge for the meal I didn't eat......I waited a long time for the Longhorn experience and its one I won't be repeating.I realise the hospitality industry is short of chefs at present, but if the owner is reading, i would suggest widening the net in your search for a chef who can do the job.

Had a wonderful time at Longhorns having the bottomless brunch. The staff were friendly, attentive and approachable. The food was delicious and there was lots of variety.The food was of both great quality and definitely of great quantity, we ended up taking a whole lot of food home afterwards that I expect to be eating for a few days at least.Also the variety of drinks on offer for the brunch were fantastic.I'd definitely recommend catching this sometime.

Absolutely Unreal! Top 5 Burgers ever for me! 😍😍👍🏼👌 Highley Recommended! 10/10

My husband and I booked a table tonight for the Thursday and Sunday evening steak meals. ( Choice of steaks, fries, chips, jacket or salad with choice of sauce and either a pint, wine or soft drink)Was very pleased with the service of the 2 ladies serving and what excellent food cooked to perfection.It was very enjoyable and just wish you had a place in Derby as would be going every other weekend.Much better and cheaper than Miller and Carter over the road.Can't rate them enough just go and enjoy

Best meal we've had in Newcastle.. No questions, just go!

Fantastic tasting food. I wanted a belly buster and got it (All In burger). Only regret is it wasn't a Wednesday so I couldn't get the bottomless wings. Draught beer/cider selection could be improved though.

Went there last week in a group of four and I had the Chicken Burger, with Fries.The service was very good, however the food was bit of a let down. The portions were on the small side, especially the burger which came in a small sesame bun rather than the advertised brioche, whilst the fries consisted mostly of small bits with quite a sweet taste.On the plus side the Goose Island ale was lovely!

I thought that the burger I ordered was fine but, overall, left the restaurant with the impression it is expensive for the style of food served. I was irked by a 50p charge for a portion of mayo (no charge was mentioned when I placed the order). At £3.50 for a cola, the soft drinks struck me as unduly expensive (unfortunately no drinks menu was available, the server listed the drinks and foolishly I didn't ask the price).

Great place for meat lovers, with some good deals too. No hot drinks, not even hot water.Steak was well cooked, tasty but dry.Chicken was very tasty, crispy with beautiful marinate. Not dry at all.Pulled pork was delicious and succulent.
