The Complete Guide to LongHorn Lunch Specials in 2026
Published 2026-06-15 by LongHorn Menu Team
The LongHorn lunch menu is one of the better-kept secrets in casual dining. Most people think of LongHorn as a dinner destination, but the lunch program delivers serious value. You are getting the same fire-grilled quality at prices that run 20 to 30 percent lower than the dinner equivalent.
Lunch service runs Monday through Friday, 11 AM to 3 PM at most locations. Weekend lunch availability varies, so call ahead if you are planning a Saturday or Sunday visit.
What Is on the LongHorn Lunch Menu?
The lunch menu breaks down into three categories: combo plates, full entrees, and soup-and-salad pairings.
Combo plates are the standout value. The Steakhouse Lunch Plate gives you a 6 oz sirloin with one side for $12.99. That same sirloin at dinner runs closer to $16. The Parmesan Crusted Chicken lunch portion drops to $11.99, down from $16.99 at dinner.
Soup and salad combos start at $8.99. You pick any soup and any salad. The Loaded Potato Soup paired with the Farm Fresh Field Greens is a surprisingly filling combination that clocks in under 600 calories.
Full entrees are available too. If you want the full Outlaw Ribeye experience at lunch, they will cook it. You just pay the dinner price.
The Best LongHorn Lunch Specials Right Now
The 2 for $25 dinner deal sometimes extends into late lunch hours at select locations. Ask your server if it is available. The Soup & Salad combo at $8.99 remains the best pure value on the menu. The Steakhouse Lunch Plate at $12.99 is the best steak-for-your-dollar at lunch.
Insider tip: Arrive before noon. The kitchen is less slammed, your steak cooks with more attention, and you avoid the 12:30 office crowd that floods most suburban locations.
LongHorn Lunch Hours
Most locations serve lunch from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM, Monday through Friday. Some extend until 4:00 PM. Holiday hours vary. The safest move is to call your local restaurant and confirm.
Is LongHorn Lunch Worth It?
Absolutely. The portions are slightly smaller than dinner, but most people find them filling. The quality is identical. You are eating the same steaks, chicken, and sides cooked on the same grills by the same kitchen staff. The only difference is the price tag and the portion size.
