What Is Baby Back Ribs at LongHorn Steakhouse?
Slow-smoked baby back ribs glazed with house BBQ sauce. LongHorn runs it through the same fire-grilled, seasoned approach that defines the brand — dry rub, open flame, and portions that usually match the photo (not always the Instagram version, but close).

This item is not listed as gluten-free on the LongHorn menu. If you need gluten-sensitive options, check our gluten-free menu guide or ask your server about modifications.

Don't microwave a leftover steak if you can avoid it. For Baby Back Ribs: slice cold if you're impatient, or reheat in a hot cast-iron skillet 45–60 seconds per side with a dab of butter. Aim to warm, not recook. Oven at 250–275°F also works for thicker pieces.
