There’s something about a steak dinner that signals celebration, connection, and time well spent. It’s the kind of food you crave on days when you want to celebrate a personal win or reward yourself for getting through another week.
That’s exactly the experience LongHorn Steakhouse brings to its newly opened branch at SM Mall of Asia, where the American Wild West meets Manila’s love for relaxed dining.
Located at Level 2 of SM MOA’s North Entertainment Mall, the 180-seater restaurant immediately feels different from the usual mall dining setup. You don’t walk into a stiff, polished steakhouse. Instead, the space feels warm, casual, and unpretentious—the kind of place where you won’t feel out of place whether you’re on a date night, at a family dinner, or at a stressful week celebration with yourself.
The interiors carry that cowboy energy without going over the top. With its wood textures, warm lighting, leather seating, and small details, its interiors nod to the brand’s American heritage.
LongHorn has always sold the idea that you “can’t fake steak,” but what makes the SM Mall of Asia branch worth trying is how it treats dining like a shared experience rather than a rushed transaction.
Servers move around with a sense of ease and are not intimidating. They talk to you like they actually want you to enjoy your time rather than just place an order. The vibe is intentionally laid-back; you settle in and enjoy the feeling of being taken care of.
It also helps that the restaurant isn’t trying to reinvent itself for the Philippine market. It leans into what LongHorn has always been known for abroad—a rustic steakhouse where people can slow down, enjoy good company, and eat food cooked with intention.
The brand has over 590 locations worldwide since opening its first in Atlanta in 1981, and now brings its second Philippine branch to the country’s biggest mall.
LongHorn Steakhouse is now open at Level 2, North Entertainment Mall, SM Mall of Asia, with its first branch located at Streetscape, Shangri-La Plaza Mall.
