LongHorn Allergen Menu & Dietary Guide
Navigating dietary restrictions at LongHorn Steakhouse requires communication. While they offer an Interactive Allergen Guide for the "Big 8" allergens, cross-contamination is always a risk in a busy kitchen. Always inform your server of strict allergies.

Dairy-Free Dining at LongHorn
Because it is a steakhouse, butter is heavily utilized. However, eating dairy-free is entirely possible:
- Proteins: Order steaks, salmon, or grilled chicken and specify NO BUTTER. Steaks are often finished with butter right before serving.
- Sides: Request plain steamed broccoli or asparagus. Order a baked potato or sweet potato plain (no butter, no sour cream).
- Salads: Order without cheese or croutons. Use an oil & vinegar dressing, as many creamy house dressings contain dairy.
- Avoid: All breaded items (often contain buttermilk or cheese), mashed potatoes, mac & cheese, desserts, and the honey wheat bread basket.
Peanut & Tree Nut Allergies
LongHorn generally does not use peanut oil for frying (they typically use highly refined soybean oil). Furthermore, peanuts and tree nuts are relatively rare on the savory menu. The highest risk for nut allergies is in the dessert section (e.g., the Chocolate Stampede or items with pecans). Always ask the manager to double-check dessert cross-contamination.
