Longtrees Woodfire Grill

We walked into the restaurant and were greeted by both the host and the delicious smell of smoked meat! We sat at a high booth in the bar area. There were a variety of tables taken but still the restaurant was relatively quiet as it was 2:30 pm on a beautiful September afternoon. My husband frequently orders a traditional burger of some sort. He said the burger was great and big! The fries were hand-cut and apparently hard to stop eating. 🤣. I had the special. It isn’t always on the menu. It was Blackened Salmon Tacos with Lime Rice. Oh, goodness!!! I mean—-GOODNESS!! It was absolutely spectacular!! This was our first time at the restaurant. We will return.

I'm about 6 months late on this review, but this place was a pleasant surprise when I was in town for work. None of the foods were a miss! Great portions, great flavor, reasonable price for what you get. If I remember correctly there was a special on pasta that day that made the price of my brisket Mac and cheese ridiculously cheap. The brisket poutine was great, but that being said it was probably my least favorite of everything I tried and that's saying a lot. Highly recommend the bacon wrapped poppers. My brisket mac and cheese was so good, the noodles were not overcooked or mushy like seems to be the par for most restaurants. The chicken wild rice soup is everything you'd expect out of that soup. 10/10 will eat here again next time I'm in Alex.

Stopped here while travelling home on I-35 on a late Sunday morning and boy was I glad we found this place. We were seated right away by friendly staff and the menu was full of tempting, creative, different spins on familiar favorites. The corned beef hash with sauerkraut, crispy breakfast potatoes, and 2 perfectly poached eggs was right up my taste bud alley. (I'm sure they'd hold the kraut for the less adventerous.) And, the French Toast Chicken Monte Cristo was a sensation, too. The place has a modern, but cozy, comfortable feel with some old-world German wall clocks and framed pictures. But what really made us feel welcome was the outstanding friendliness of the service staff. Don't drive by this place - stop in!

The food is what we go for. All you can eat sunfish and the loaded mashed potatoes are perfectly seasoned. The tartar sauce and aioli are made in house and the soup of the day never upsets. We always make reservations we travel an hour to eat here. Update 6/16 I’m going to change this from a 4 star to 5 simply because since we started visiting the service has gotten significantly better. The team work is complimentary to the kitchen’s speed and tonight we felt like royalty. We visited for my birthday and were treated to some cheesecake but I simply forgot to take a picture, tonight I made sure to get one to spoil those viewing this review. As I sit here writing this review, I can not wait to visit again.

Russell sprouts are amazing, steak (filet) cooked to perfection. After driving 11 hours it was so great to stop in and have a fabulous meal! Drinks were awesome to and just down the road from the room.
