What to Order at LongHorn

First time at LongHorn Steakhouse? I've wasted enough mediocre orders to spare you the menu paralysis. Here is exactly what to order, broken down by what you're after — not marketing copy.

First Timer

Flo's Filet (8 oz)

The signature steak. Tender enough to cut with a fork. The first time I ordered it, I understood why it's the safe 'impress yourself' pick.

Under $20 most nights and still a proper steak. Lean, beefy, and the cut I order when I'm eating LongHorn twice in one week.

Bold Flavor

Outlaw Ribeye

Bone-in, heavily marbled, seasoned aggressively. It's the steak I order when I want to remember why I love beef — just budget ~22 minutes on busy nights.

Not a Steak Person

Parmesan Crusted Chicken

The six-cheese crust is the reason non-beef people keep coming back. Pair with broccoli if you want to feel virtuous.

Dessert Must-Have

Chocolate Stampede

Six types of chocolate. Meant to share. I have never successfully shared it.

Drink to Start

The Perfect Margarita

House-made sour mix, quality tequila, salted rim done right. Happy hour makes this a steal when available.

The Perfect First Visit

Start with the Spinach Artichoke Dip. Order Flo's Filet medium-rare with mashed potatoes. Finish with the Chocolate Stampede. That combination has converted more steakhouse skeptics than any other combo I've recommended.

Honest caveat: If you're starving and want maximum beef flavor, skip the filet and go Outlaw — just don't schedule a tight movie after.
