We depend upon delivered meals now that our mobility is restricted. We have had missing items before but all previous complaints have been ameliorate with generous discount coupons, at first only usable for in-restaurant dining, because that option is not possible, Sarah the store manager and Angie in customer service went above and beyond to make coupons work and outstanding food delivered hot and to our very specific requests. A+ Bravo to the Mannheim store!

Even though we used call ahead to make a 5:15 pm reservation for 6 people (with 2 toddlers) and arrived early, we stood around for over 45 minutes before being seated and watch parties who arrived after us get seated before us. There was no space for people to wait to be seated. There was no communication about what was going on.

Recommended going to another location.
Edit to add: we made our reservation an hour before arriving so when we arrived it was interesting to see 2 people seated in a 6 person booth when there are 2 people booths at this location

After waiting 45 minutes with two Children under the age of 6 and having called ahead seating for 5:15, still have waited! And then the hostess messages me to say table is ready and we still have waited
an extra 20 minutes! I came here to this location over 1 year ago and the place was very different! Very disappointed !!!

Our evening at Longhorn Steakhouse in Des Plaines was nothing short of spectacular, starting with the inviting rustic vibe and the mouthwatering aroma of sizzling steaks that pulled us right in, where our enthusiastic server settled us into a prime booth and launched the meal with those irresistible Outlaw Ribs—smoky, tender perfection that vanished too quickly, paired seamlessly with a crisp Jack and Coke. The Renegade Sirloin stole the spotlight, grilled to juicy medium-rare bliss with that zesty Longhorn seasoning, complemented by a fluffy loaded baked potato and vibrant grilled asparagus that elevated every bite into flavor heaven, all delivered with spot-on timing and warmth from the team despite the lively crowd. Ending on a high note with the decadent Chocolate Stampede lava cake, we left raving about this Des Plaines standout—five stars for turning a casual dinner into a crave-worthy memory we'll chase again soon.

First time going to this location and it was delicious and the pricing is totally fair and actually much cheaper that expected, they have a wedge salad that is absolutely massive for $6.99, spinach dip appetizer $6.99, and French onion soup $7.99. I couldn’t believe the prices and how kind the wait staff was! I would definitely come back to this location.
