LongHorn Low-Sodium Menu — How I Order Heart-Healthier

Q: Does LongHorn have a low-sodium menu?

LongHorn does not publish a dedicated low-sodium menu , but you can build a lower-sodium plate: plain grilled steak or salmon, steamed broccoli or asparagus, no bread, sauces on the side (or skipped). Always tell your server you are watching sodium.

Q: What is the lowest-sodium steak at LongHorn?

A plain-grilled Renegade Sirloin or Flo's Filet with no sauce and no seasoning add-ons is usually the safest path. Seasoning blends and steak sauces can spike sodium fast — ask the kitchen to go light on salt.

Q: Are LongHorn sides low sodium?

Steamed broccoli and asparagus are the best bets — ask for no salt, butter on the side . Loaded baked potatoes, fries, mac & cheese, rice pilaf, and salads with heavy dressing are typically much higher in sodium.

Q: Can I ask LongHorn to cook without salt?

Yes. I say: "Heart-healthy / low sodium please — no added salt on the steak or veg, sauces on the side." Most kitchens will accommodate. Confirm at the table when the plate arrives if the seasoning looks heavy.

After a doctor visit put sodium on my radar, I stopped treating LongHorn like an all-you-can-sauce night. The plate that works: plain grilled steak + unsalted steamed veg + sauces skipped or tasted in teaspoons. Steakhouses will never be spa food — but they don't have to blow a daily sodium budget either.

Better vs Riskier Orders

Item	Sodium Risk	How I Order It
Renegade Sirloin	Lower*	Plain grill, light/no salt, no sauce
Flo's Filet	Lower*	Lean cut; skip Oscar-style add-ons
LongHorn Salmon	Medium*	Ask plain grilled — glazes hide salt + sugar
Napa Grilled Chicken	Medium*	Verify marinade; request no added salt
Outlaw Ribeye	Medium*	Bigger cut = more seasoned surface; share it
Parmesan Crusted Chicken	Higher	Cheese crust + seasoning — usually skip
Texas Tonion / fried apps	Higher	Breaded + salted — hard to salvage

*Relative ranking from typical steakhouse prep — not lab-verified mg for every location.

Sauces & Seasonings to Skip (Or Teaspoon)

Safer finishing moves

Fresh cracked pepper (ask if pre-salted blend)
Plain butter, used sparingly
Lemon wedge on salmon/chicken
Oil & vinegar on salad (measured)
Sauces on the side — taste, don't drown

Sodium traps

Steak sauce & A.1.-style bottles
BBQ, sweet chili, peppercorn cream
Cheese sauces & hollandaise
Croutons, bacon bits, cheese on salad
Soup (often very high sodium)
Bread basket + salted butter habit

My Heart-Healthier Sample Meals

Weeknight Control Plate

6 oz Renegade, medium, double steamed broccoli (no salt, butter on side), water. Skip soup/salad upgrades if the dressing is a mystery.

Lean Filet Night

Flo's Filet 6 oz, asparagus, side salad with oil & vinegar only. No Stampede — fruit or nothing if you're stacking sodium earlier in the day.

Seafood Swap

Plain grilled salmon, broccoli, lemon. Confirm no sweet glaze. This is my go-to when I already had a salty lunch.

Honest caveat: LongHorn does not publish location-by-location sodium milligrams for every modified order. Grill seasoning, brine practices, and side prep change. If you are on a strict medical sodium limit (e.g., heart failure diet), call the manager ahead, bring your clinician's guidance, and treat this page as strategy — not a lab report.
