ol' steakhouse

the best steaks in corpus

always have dined her for date nigh. amazing steaks. i have not been disappointed. family owned. definitely a gem.

love this place. great service, food is simple but tasty. got my steak temp right, which is rare (ha pun intended) in this town. maybe my favorite steak place.

love local places.

meat with flavor. great steak, i had the ny strip cooked to perfection. my husband had the black and blue ribeye. i love seasoning and they flavor the food. great dinner nice restaurant off the beaten path but easy to find. great way to end the day. bypass the daiquiri that may as well been a virgin because i didn't taste rum.

the rundown: ah-maz-ing. seriously, this might be the best steakhouse i've ever been to. mesquite-grilled steaks, good ol' fashioned sides, full bar with the best house merlot i've ever had, everything on the menu looked delicious. i would make a day trip from houston just to eat at this place. want more? read on!

from the outside, ol' steakhouse co doesn't look like much, but inside the lighting is subdued, the bar is stocked, and you can see and smell your meat grilling on the open-flame grill. i had their 6 oz usda choice center-cut top sirloin (only $12.39!) topped with their signature rosemary-gorgonzola butter. oh, that butter. i think there was even pecans in it... something so crazy and magical that it just worked.

i ordered their house merlot on a whim and my mother and i agreed it was one of the top merlots we've had. the sides were delicious, this is one of the few places i've found cinnamon apples as a side. talk about southern cuisine...yum! the caesar salad wasn't to my liking, it was more of a vinegar-based than creamy dressing.

seriously, though, that mesquite sear on the steaks... not only did it smell like a delicious fire inside, but i could've been sitting on a log next to a grizzled cowboy, eating a steak freshly cooked on his cobbled campfire, that's how incredible these steaks tasted. if you have a bit more dough, definitely spring for the filet. my stepdad got one and it was to die for.

we decided to order a carrot cake to go. if i haven't said enough good things about this restaurant, i'm going to say more. i'm a dyed-in-the-wool chocoholic, but my stepdad convinced me the carrot cake was worth it, and man, was he right. this is probably the best carrot cake i've ever had. it was ridiculously moist, with thick layers of cream cheese icing, and the perfect balance of spices, nuts, and raisins. i'm drooling now just thinking about.

you gotta try this place!

love everything about this place! every dish i've ordered (steak, fried/grilled fish, shrimp, chicken, salads, soups.. etc!) is always sooo good and freshly made. they also always have a good daily drink special👌👍🏻

expected so much more out of this place. 

they basically serve diner food. big disappointment. 

on the bright side, their prices reflect the poor food quality.

i do not recommend.

this place is great! great atmosphere, food and service. steaks cooked to perfection, fantastic fresh bread and i can't say enough about the service, wonderful!!!

fav steakhouse but. i don't know what happened on january 12th but about 8 p.m. with less than 20 people in the restaurant food was way below standards. medium rare steak was somewhere between medium and medium well. both of our potatoes were cold and i mean butter didn't begin to melt cold. on the plus side fish was cooked well. hope next time is better all around.

the cheese burger is pretty good. it was worth the 20 minute wait for a table

good service, ordered steak and shrimp.the steak was a baby steak.go to roadhouse or montana mikes for a real steak and shrimp dinner.

never a bad meal here.. i love longhorn steak and ale and will always give them my business. i normally eat their chicken fried steak, or club sandwich-and other things like beef tips. ive never had a disappointment eating here and have dined there over the past 5 years at least 100 times.

longhorn steak & ale here is a local place, not to be confused with longhorn steakhouse, which is a national chain. just fyi.

my partner and i arrived on a friday night and had to wait about 20 minutes for a table. yes, this restaurant is very popular and totally worth the short wait. plan your dining time accordingly.

this place has a great atmosphere with a friendly waitstaff. it did take a little longer for our meals to be served, but when the result was presented on our table, we understood why. quality food requires a little longer to prepare.

for an appetizer, we tried the grilled cheddar stuffed mushrooms. the mushroom caps with herbs and four cheeses were very good.

my partner ordered the outlaw ribeye. it was huge. he said it was grilled perfectly. he also had the loaded baked potato and a mixed green salad. he was pleased with everything.

i decided upon the grilled trout with shrimp and lobster along with seasonal veggies and caesar salad. it was excellent.

longhorn steak & ale provides a great dining experience in cc.

fantastic!. dear fellow tourists,

don't go here. you will hate it. stick to the chain restaurants along the main drag. you'll be happy, and i'll be able to easily get a table at longhorn the next time i'm in corpus. longhorn has a "local" feel, with great service, and delicious food. i'll be back for sure! but all you other tourists... it's no bueno. you won't like it at all.

the food was amazing!! the best meal i have ever had. i recommend getting there 15-30 min before you actually want to eat. but it's worth the wait!!
