Complete LongHorn Steakhouse Menu Guide

A Quick Look at the Full Menu

The menu splits into a handful of clear sections, and once you know the shape of it, ordering gets faster. Steaks sit at the center, which tracks given the name, but there’s a real menu built around them: combos pairing steak with seafood, a chicken and seafood section for anyone skipping beef, appetizers, entrée salads, a full sides list, a separate lunch menu that only runs certain hours, handhelds for burgers and sandwiches, a kids’ menu, and a full bar.

Scroll through nothing else, and this table alone gives a rough sense of where a meal lands, both in price and in how much you’re about to eat.

What Things Cost at LongHorn

Before getting into individual dishes, it helps to know roughly what a meal costs depending on how you’re eating. Lunch and dinner aren’t priced the same, and a full sit-down meal with an appetizer and dessert adds up faster than most people expect walking in.

Breaking it down by category gives a better read on where the money goes once the order starts stacking up.

Steaks are where the biggest swing happens. A smaller Renegade Sirloin starts around $18, while the largest bone-in cuts, like the Porterhouse, climb toward $35 to $40. Size and cut explain most of that gap. Beef pricing in general moves more than nearly anything else on the menu, so don’t be surprised if the same steak costs a couple dollars more or less depending on where you’re sitting.

The Legendary Steaks, One at a Time

Two cuts come up in nearly every conversation about what to order here, and each solves a different problem. The Outlaw Ribeye is for someone who shows up hungry, since the size and calorie count both back that up. Flo’s Filet goes the other direction: leaner, more tender, available in two sizes, and usually the first suggestion given to someone new to the menu.

Every steak comes with a choice of side included in the price.

Flo’s Filet

The most tender cut LongHorn serves, a center-cut filet mignon that’s fire-grilled and kept simple so the beef does the talking. It cuts with almost no resistance, which is the whole appeal for people who don’t want much chew.

Outlaw Ribeye

A bone-in ribeye, heavily marbled, grilled over an open flame until the edges char and the fat renders into the meat. Ask most regulars what they order and this is usually the answer. Bold, smoky, and the size backs up the price tag.

Renegade Sirloin

Leaner than the ribeye and less rich than the filet, but still fire-grilled with the same seasoning blend as everything else on the steak list. The value pick that doesn’t feel like a downgrade once it lands on the table. No ribeye-level marbling here, but it’s a proper steak at a fair price, and the one to order if the bill matters as much as the beef.

Ribeye

The Outlaw’s boneless cousin, with the same heavy marbling and open-flame char but without the bone taking up plate space. A solid middle ground for ribeye richness without committing to the full 20-ounce bone-in size.

New York Strip

Firmer in texture and heartier in flavor than the filet, with a smoky crust outside and a juicy center. It sits in the middle of the steak lineup, not the cheapest, not the most indulgent, which makes it a fairly safe order when you’re not sure which way to lean.

Fire-Grilled T-Bone

Two cuts on one plate, a tenderloin on one side of the bone and a strip on the other. The answer if you’re torn between lean and marbled and don’t want to choose.

The LongHorn Porterhouse

The biggest, priciest cut on the menu, essentially a larger T-Bone with a bigger filet portion. Built for sharing, or a serious appetite. Order it alone on a normal Tuesday and there’s a decent chance you’re leaving with a to-go box.

Understanding the Cuts

Filet mignon is the leanest, mildest cut, best ordered medium-rare since it has little fat to fall back on. Ribeye carries the most marbling, which is why it tastes richer even at higher temperatures, while New York Strip lands in between, firmer and bolder than the filet but leaner than a ribeye. Sirloin is the leanest, least expensive option, and the T-Bone and Porterhouse are the same idea at two sizes, a strip and a filet on either side of a bone.

Appetizers That Are Actually Worth Ordering

Wild West Shrimp is the top seller here, crispy fried shrimp tossed in a peppery glaze spicy enough to notice without overwhelming the table. Texas Tonion, a large breaded and fried onion with dipping sauce, is built for sharing, not solo eating, and trying to finish it alone is a bad idea. Parmesan Crusted Spinach Dip is the pick if creamy beats crunchy, and White Cheddar Stuffed Mushrooms are a milder alternative for anyone skipping fried food. Firecracker Chicken Wraps bring real heat before the entrées show up, worth knowing if you’re ordering for someone with a low spice tolerance.

For a table of four or more, Wild West Shrimp paired with one shareable like Texas Tonion covers most preferences without going overboard. Eating alone, the Spicy Chicken Bites give a smaller portion at a lower price, which makes more sense than ordering a full-sized appetizer you’ll only eat half of.

Handhelds and Burgers

Sometimes a burger fits the mood better than a full entrée. The Half-Pound Steakhouse Cheeseburger and Crispy Buttermilk Chicken Sandwich both come with seasoned fries, less steakhouse experience, more solid comfort food. A decent fit for a picky eater at the table, or anyone not in the mood for a full entrée that visit.

Lunch Menu vs. Dinner Menu

Is the lunch menu just a smaller version of dinner? Not really. It’s its own thing, a shorter menu built for a faster turnaround and lower prices, not a dinner portion ordered a few hours early.

If steak on a tighter budget is the goal, lunch is the move. A Flo’s Filet that runs over $30 at dinner often drops into the mid-$20s during lunch hours, and the “Pick Two: Soup and Salad” combination is about as cheap as a real, sit-down meal gets on this menu.

Legendary Lunch Steaks

Served with a choice of side, available Monday through Saturday from 11 AM to 3 PM.

Full-Sized Lunch Favorites

Served with a choice of side.

Steakhouse Lunch Plates

Comes with a side, soup, or salad.

Lunch Entrée Salads

Full-sized versions, available Monday through Saturday from 11 AM to 3 PM.

Drinks: Beer, Wine, Margaritas, and Cocktails

Margaritas cover most tastes, from the classic Texas Margarita to fruit-forward Strawberry and Mango versions. Wine comes in reds like Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, whites like Chardonnay and Riesling, usually sold by the glass or bottle depending on the location. Draft and bottled beer round it out, landing somewhere between $6 and $7 a glass.

Ordering: Online, Through the App, or By Phone

Once the LongHorn Steakhouse menu is picked out, getting the order placed comes down to a few simple steps.

Open the site or app and set your address. This tells the system which location’s menu and pricing to load, and whether pickup or delivery is even on the table.

Choose pickup or delivery. Delivery usually runs through a third-party platform such as DoorDash, Uber Eats, or Grubhub rather than a LongHorn driver, so availability depends on which of those services cover your area.

Browse by category and customize. Adjust sides or steak doneness wherever the system allows it, then check out like any other online order.

Or just call the restaurant directly. It’s often faster if you already know your order, and it’s the better route for anything the app won’t let you customize, swapped sides, extra add-ons, or a larger group order.

Find your nearest location. Search “LongHorn Steakhouse” plus your city or ZIP code in any maps app to pull up distance, current hours, and call-ahead seating. Weekend dinner rushes peak between 6 and 8 PM, so getting on a waitlist early can save a real stretch of standing around.

Nutrition: What to Know Before You Order

Calorie counts aren’t identical across every location, since portion size and prep shift a bit by market. Treat any number here as a close estimate, not exact, unless you’re pulling it straight from LongHorn’s official nutrition guide.

Grilled proteins without heavy sauces (chicken, salmon, the leaner steak cuts) sit lighter. Fried appetizers, the two-protein combos, and desserts like Chocolate Stampede sit heavier. Renegade Sirloin and grilled chicken breast are the leanest, highest-protein picks on the menu.

A few swaps if you’re watching intake: skip the finishing butter that comes standard on most steaks, swap fries for a side salad or steamed vegetables, and split an appetizer between the table instead of everyone ordering their own. LongHorn also keeps a full nutrition and allergen PDF posted on its official site for anyone tracking things closer than a general guide can offer.

Keto-Friendly Ordering

Steak fits a keto approach better than almost anything on a casual dining menu. Good picks: any steak without a sugar-based glaze, grilled chicken or salmon, steamed broccoli, and a side salad with an oil-based dressing. Skip the mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, and sweet potato with brown sugar topping, and ask for butter or olive oil instead of sweeter glazes if you’re strict about hidden sugar.

Extra Ways to Stretch Your Bill

A couple of small habits go further than hunting down a coupon. Dining with someone who isn’t a big eater? Splitting a combo between two people usually works out cheaper than ordering two separate entrées neither of you finishes. And since LongHorn is part of Darden Restaurants, plenty of Darden gift cards work across sister brands too, including Olive Garden, so a leftover balance isn’t necessarily stuck to just one restaurant.

Family Meals and Catering

Feeding more than four people without ordering six separate entrées is a real question a lot of families run into, and LongHorn’s family meal bundles for takeout exist for exactly that. These usually come as a choice of protein paired with family-sized sides, built to serve four to six people without pricing out at four to six separate entrées. For bigger gatherings, most locations also handle catering built around platters of steak, chicken, or salmon with sides and dessert trays added on. Calling 24 to 48 hours ahead is the safer move, since minimums and prep windows vary by restaurant and not every location can turn around a big order same-day.

Where to Find a LongHorn Steakhouse

LongHorn operates close to 600 locations across the United States, clustered fairly heavily around a handful of regions.

For an exact address and live hours, LongHorn’s official locator or any maps app beats a general regional guide like this one.

What to Order on a First Visit

One recommendation, if that’s all you take from this guide: Wild West Shrimp to start, Flo’s Filet as the entrée, a loaded baked potato on the side, and Chocolate Stampede split between two people rather than attempted solo. This lineup hits the most-liked items across the menu and gives a fair read on whether LongHorn fits your taste before committing to the pricier cuts on a return visit.

LongHorn vs. Texas Roadhouse

The real difference comes down to vibe and seafood more than anything else. Want a quieter dinner with the option to order salmon or shrimp instead of beef? LongHorn wins that comparison. Prefer a louder room and don’t care about seafood being on the menu at all? Texas Roadhouse holds up just as well for that specific mood.

The History of LongHorn Steakhouse

LongHorn Steakhouse opened its first location on Peachtree Street in Atlanta in August 1981, founded by George McKerrow Jr. along with George McKerrow Sr., Bill Norman, and Bill Dukes, under the original name LongHorn Steaks Restaurant and Saloon. Business started slow until a freak snowstorm hit Atlanta in January 1982 and stranded commuters across the city; LongHorn stayed open with cheap drinks and steak specials while much of the city shut down, and word of mouth took off from there.

The chain expanded steadily through the Southeast and beyond over the following decades, leaning on the same fire-grilled process and ranch-style dining room rather than chasing passing trends. Darden Restaurants, the parent company behind Olive Garden and The Capital Grille, acquired LongHorn in 2007, giving it the backing to expand nationally while leaving the brand’s identity largely untouched. Today LongHorn runs close to 600 locations across the U.S. and Puerto Rico, still built around the same idea it started with: a real, hand-cut, fire-grilled steak that doesn’t need a special occasion behind it.

Seasonal Menu Changes

LongHorn rotates a handful of limited-time items tied to a season or holiday, fall desserts and heartier sides, summer seafood specials or a fruit-forward margarita, and these don’t always show up in every region or return the following year. If a seasonal item is the whole reason for the visit, check the app first, and treat any seasonal pricing as its own category rather than assuming it matches the year-round menu figures in this guide.

Before You Go

Table can’t agree on steak, seafood, or something lighter? A Grill Master Combo is built to end that kind of argument before it starts. And if you’re eating on a weekday before 3 PM, check the lunch menu first. More often than not, it’s the same dish you were already planning to order, just smaller and noticeably cheaper for it.
