THE LONG & THE SHORT OF IT

After the success of the city centre venue I thought that perhaps Longhornes had gone for a more low key affair on Osborne Road. I know Longhornes low key? What was I thinking, right?

As you may have already noticed there is no entrance from the front on the main road sided, BUT if you go round to the back my friends you’ll sure have a big surprise, in fact, if you go round to the back today you’ll never believe your eyes! Longhorns have done it again, the courtyard is full of rustic seating bright lights and to the right the ‘slaughterhouse‘ a really cool bar area that couples up as an overflow for the actual restaurant area.

Inside and upstairs the restaurant itself is surprisingly spacious but that’s the only other surprise because the staff are again attentive and the food is again outstanding. Even that’s no surprise really since it has been served up by one of our favorite chefs; John Nellist, he told me to try the ribs, if he recommends them we are having them!

We have them On The Board with - sliced Beef Brisket, pulled pork, pork ribs, chicken wings, 2 Andouille Sausages and a “bad ass Beef Rib” (the beef rib has the bark on it which is the top layer of the rib where the beef rub is has been rubbed on before going into the smoker, as it smokes and cooks it gets full of flavour)

Also with the board came Seasoned Fries with our special chip dust, slaw, mixed pickles, hog rind, pit beans (BBQ beans with all he meaty goodness in) and a brioche bun toasted.

Food coma? OF course! Carbs? NO not really! l
