LongHorn Steakhouse Ordering Tips
Small details that come up among regulars, plus simple ways to stretch a bill.
Tips From Regulars
Be specific about doneness
“Medium” can read differently from kitchen to kitchen, so describing what you want gets better results than one word.
Ask for a sharper knife
A dull knife makes even a well-cooked steak feel tougher, and it is a normal request.
Ask about side substitutions
Sides not listed with a specific entrée can often still be swapped for a small upcharge.
Request a to-go container
Bigger cuts like the Porterhouse or Outlaw Ribeye rarely fit the standard box.
Ways to Stretch Your Bill
A few habits go further than hunting for a coupon. If you are eating with someone who is not a big eater, splitting a combo usually costs less than ordering two entrées neither of you finishes. Lunch prices are lower than dinner for the same dishes, as shown in the lunch vs. dinner comparison. Adding a topper to a steak costs an extra $3.49 to $7.99, less than a full combo.
Seasonal Changes
LongHorn rotates a handful of limited-time items tied to a season or holiday. They do not always appear in every region or return the following year. If a seasonal item is the reason for your visit, check the app first, and treat seasonal pricing separately from the year-round prices on this site.
