Texas Longhorn — Uppsala Steakhouse

Origins and character of the Uppsala outpost

Texas Longhorn in Uppsala is part of a Swedish family-owned steakhouse chain founded to recreate Texan barbecue traditions for local diners. The Uppsala venue keeps the brand’s straightforward, meat-forward identity: long-grilled steaks, slow-smoked ribs, fiery fajitas and generous sides presented in a warm, informal setting. The interior leans on comfortable wooden finishes and Americana touches that underline the restaurant’s concept of an easygoing, convivial place to eat heartily.

What you’ll find on the plate

The menu concentrates on sizeable mains — steaks in several cuts and sizes, barbecue ribs, burgers and a selection of grilled or smoked starters — alongside salads and some fish and vegetarian options to broaden choice. Signature items emphasise smoky, charred flavours and bold seasoning; portions are typically large and designed to be filling. The restaurant also offers a selection of beers and classic bar-style cocktails to complement the heavy, grilled dishes.

The atmosphere after dark

Texas Longhorn’s hours focus on the evening meal, with the week’s service opening for dinner and later hours on weekends. The room feels lively at night: ambient warmth from wood tones, casual seating and an approachable staff pace that suits groups, families and diners seeking a relaxed evening rather than fine-dining formality. Lighting and décor aim to be comfortable rather than theatrical, so the emphasis stays on food and company.

Practical details that shape the visit

Located on Dragarbrunnsgatan in central Uppsala, the restaurant sits within an area of shops and cafés. The operation handles both dine-in service and takeaway orders; delivery platforms list core menu items and typical prices for mains such as ribs or steaks. Service is chain-run: menus, portion sizes and cooking standards follow the group’s recipes and procedures, which helps maintain consistent dishes across different locations.

Who comes here and why it works

The restaurant suits anyone seeking a robust, meat-focused dinner: groups celebrating, families wanting big plates, and diners who appreciate classic barbecue flavours. The casual pace and generous portions make it a simple choice for an evening out where comfort food and familiar preparations are the primary draw. The presence of vegetarian and lighter options ensures some flexibility for mixed parties.
