LongHorn Steakhouse Menu Guide (2026): Prices, Pictures, Drinks, Allergen Info & More

About LongHorn Steakhouse

LongHorn Steakhouse traces back to a single restaurant on Peachtree Street in Atlanta, opened in August 1981 by George McKerrow Jr. and a small group of partners. The original spot — then called LongHorn Steaks Restaurant & Saloon — got off to a slow start, until a freak snowstorm in January 1982 stranded commuters across the city and sent them looking for somewhere warm to wait it out. LongHorn kept its doors open with cheap drinks and steak specials, word spread, and the rest of the chain’s growth followed from there.

What started as one Western-themed steakhouse in Georgia has since grown into one of the largest steakhouse chains in the country, with close to 600 locations across the United States. Darden Restaurants — the company also behind Olive Garden and The Capital Grille — acquired the brand in 2007 and has backed its expansion ever since. Through all of that growth, the core identity hasn’t changed much: hand-cut steaks, open-flame grilling, and a ranch-style dining room that still nods to its Atlanta roots.

That history matters here for one reason — it’s part of why the menu is built the way it is. The steak-forward lineup, the Western naming (Outlaw Ribeye, Renegade Sirloin), and the emphasis on bold, fire-grilled flavor all trace directly back to that first Peachtree Street location.

What This Guide Covers

Most menu pages just dump a price list on you and call it a day. This one doesn’t. Below, you’ll find the full LongHorn Steakhouse menu broken down by what each dish actually delivers — flavor, portion size, value — plus the sections most menu pages skip entirely: the drink menu, dessert menu, allergen and gluten-sensitive guide, happy hour, and catering. Whether you’re checking prices before a dinner out, planning a lunch stop, or trying to feed a group, it’s all in one place.

How the Menu Is Structured

LongHorn organizes its menu into the following sections: Legendary Steaks, Grill Master Combos, Appetizers, Chicken & Seafood, Handhelds, Parmesan Crusted Favorites, Entrée Salads, Sides, a separate weekday Lunch menu, Desserts, Kids Meals (under 12), and a full Drink menu covering beer, wine, margaritas, and cocktails. The prices and calorie counts listed throughout this page reflect the most recent national update — but menu pricing is set regionally, so a dish at a Florence or Springfield location might run a dollar or two different from the same dish in a bigger metro market like Orlando or Fort Worth. Always treat listed prices as a close estimate, not a guarantee, until you check your specific location through LongHorn’s official restaurant locator.

The Steaks: Which One Actually Fits What You Want

Two steaks dominate the conversation around LongHorn, and they solve completely different problems.

The Outlaw Ribeye is the “I came here hungry” order — a 20 oz cut with bold, marbled flavor and a calorie count to match. It’s the steak people order when value-per-dollar matters more than restraint.

Flo’s Filet is the opposite case. It’s leaner, more tender, and available in two portion sizes, which makes it the better pick if you want a quality cut without committing to a 20 oz plate. It’s also the steak that photographs best, for what that’s worth on date night.

Beyond those two, the lineup includes the Renegade Sirloin, Ribeye, New York Strip, Fire-Grilled T-Bone, and The LongHorn Porterhouse — each sized and priced slightly differently, so it’s worth comparing ounce-for-ounce rather than just by sticker price.

If you genuinely can’t choose between steak and seafood, skip the dilemma entirely and order from the Grill Master Combos. Pairing a smaller cut — sirloin, salmon, or filet — with shrimp, a lobster tail, or half a rack of ribs almost always costs less than ordering a full steak entrée and a seafood appetizer as two separate items. It’s the closest thing the menu has to a built-in “best of both” option.

Appetizers Worth Actually Ordering

Wild West Shrimp and the Parmesan Crusted Spinach Dip are the two most consistently reordered starters — both built for sharing, both substantial enough to function as a light meal on their own if you’re not in the mood for a full entrée. Texas Tonion (crispy onion petals) and the White Cheddar Stuffed Mushrooms are the next most popular, usually showing up at tables of three or more. If you’re dining solo, the Spicy Chicken Bites hit a smaller portion at a noticeably lower price than most of the other appetizers, which makes them the better solo-order pick rather than something scaled for a table of four.

Chicken, Seafood & the Lower-Calorie Picks

Parmesan Crusted Chicken appears in three separate menu sections — dinner, lunch, and its own “Parmesan Crusted Favorites” group — which tells you something about how often it’s ordered. If you’re watching calories without wanting to feel like you’re “on a diet” at a steakhouse, the LongHorn Salmon is the strongest option on the entire menu: full flavor, a fraction of the calories of most steak entrées, and a price that sits comfortably mid-range. For something heartier, the Baby Back Ribs (available half-rack or full-rack) and Cowboy Pork Chops round out the non-steak side of the menu, while Hand-Breaded Chicken Tenders and Redrock Grilled Shrimp are the go-to picks for lighter, simpler plates.

Drink Menu: Beer, Wine, Margaritas & Cocktails

LongHorn’s drink menu is built around bold, easy-drinking options that pair with the food rather than compete with it.

• Margaritas: Hand-crafted options include the Patrón Dragon Fruit Margarita, the Texas, The Perfect, and fruit-forward versions like Strawberry and Mango.
• Signature Cocktails: The LongHorn Old Fashioned, Moscow Mule, Sangrias, Texas Tea, Spiked Strawberry Lemonade, and a simple Jack & Coke cover most tastes.
• Wine: Reds include Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, and Merlot; whites include Chardonnay, Riesling, and Moscato — most available by the glass or bottle.
• Beer: Ice-cold draft and bottled beer options round out the list, typically priced in a narrow $5.99–$7.29 range.

If you’re ordering for a table that wants to split a few different drinks rather than commit to one bottle of wine, the by-the-glass wine options and the margarita flight-style variety (Strawberry, Mango, Dragon Fruit) tend to work best for that kind of sampling.

Desserts Worth Saving Room For

LongHorn’s dessert menu is short but deliberate — four options, each built for a different mood. Chocolate Stampede is the one built for sharing (and at over 2,000 calories, it’s genuinely meant for the table, not one person). THE Cheesecake and Molten Lava Cake are the two richer, individual-portion options, while Strawberries & Cream Shortcake is the lighter pick if you want something sweet without the heaviness of chocolate.

The Lunch Menu: The Part Most People Skip Past

This is the section that gets overlooked most often, and it shouldn’t be. Available Monday through Saturday from 11am to 3pm, the lunch menu serves smaller portions of nearly the same dishes found on the dinner menu — frequently at $5 to $8 less per plate. Lunch-specific entrées and salads, plus a “Pick Two: Soup & Salad” option, round out a menu built around the Crispy Buttermilk Chicken Sandwich and Half-Pound Steakhouse Cheeseburger as the two most-ordered handhelds. If your visit happens to fall inside that window, it’s worth checking the lunch section before the regular menu, even if you’re craving something listed under dinner. There’s a good chance it’s the same dish, just sized and priced differently.

Nutrition & Calories: A Practical Note

The menu’s calorie range is wide — a 90-calorie side of steamed broccoli sits at one end, a 2,460-calorie Chocolate Stampede built for sharing sits at the other. If balance matters to you, the easiest adjustment isn’t cutting the entrée you actually want — it’s swapping the side. Pairing a heavier steak with steamed asparagus or broccoli instead of mac and cheese or a loaded baked potato can shift the total meal by several hundred calories without changing the part of the order you came in for. LongHorn also publishes a full nutrition and allergen guide as a downloadable PDF on its official site, which breaks down calories, sodium, and allergens item by item — worth a look if you’re tracking anything closely.

Allergen & Gluten-Sensitive Menu

LongHorn doesn’t run a separate “gluten-free menu” in the printed sense, but it does maintain an official Nutrition & Allergen Guide that flags the FDA’s major allergens — milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soy, and sesame — for every item, along with a dedicated gluten-sensitive section for dishes that can be ordered without gluten-containing ingredients.

A few practical notes if you’re ordering with an allergy or sensitivity in mind:

• Steaks and grilled proteins are generally the safest starting point, since they’re naturally free of most major allergens when ordered without butter or sauce toppings.
• Fried items and the bread basket are the highest-risk areas — shared fryers and wheat-based bread mean cross-contact is more likely there than anywhere else on the menu.
• Always tell your server, not just the host — LongHorn’s allergen protocols rely on the kitchen being notified directly, and staff can pull up the allergen guide on request.

This information is general guidance, not medical advice — if you have a severe allergy or celiac disease, confirm directly with the restaurant and review the official allergen PDF before ordering.

Happy Hour: What to Expect

Happy hour isn’t a standardized, chain-wide program at LongHorn — it’s offered at some locations and not others, and where it does exist, the days, hours, and specials vary by restaurant. Where it’s available, it typically runs on weekday afternoons and includes discounted beer, wine, and cocktails alongside a handful of shareable appetizers — Wild West Shrimp, Texas Tonion, and Spicy Chicken Bites show up most often on happy hour lists. Since this varies so much by location, the most reliable approach is calling your specific LongHorn or checking their page directly rather than assuming a national schedule applies.

Family Meals & Catering for Groups

For smaller groups, LongHorn offers family meal bundles built for takeout — typically a choice of protein (steak, chicken, or salmon) with family-sized sides, designed to serve around four to six people without ordering several individual entrées. For larger gatherings — office lunches, parties, or events — most locations also handle catering orders, usually built around platters of steak, chicken, or salmon with sides and dessert trays added on. Availability, minimum order size, and lead time vary by location, so calling ahead — generally 24 to 48 hours before a larger order — is the safest way to confirm details rather than assuming every location handles it the same way.

Frequently Asked Questions

Before You Go

If your table can’t agree between steak, seafood, or something lighter, start with a Grill Master Combo — it’s built specifically to end that argument. And if you’re eating on a weekday before 3pm, check the lunch menu first. More often than not, it’s the exact dish you wanted, just smaller and noticeably cheaper.
