1. Outlaw Ribeye® — ~$35.49 (20 oz)
The signature steak that built the chain. A 20-ounce bone-in ribeye with heavy marbling, fire-grilled for a smoky crust. Chowhound’s ranking named it the absolute best steak at LongHorn — tender, juicy, well-seasoned, and cost-effective (big enough to split). At roughly $1.77/oz it’s actually better meat value than the smaller cuts. Order medium-rare. Full deep-dive: Outlaw Ribeye guide.
2. Flo’s Filet® — ~$27.79 (6 oz)
The most tender steak on the menu, period. A center-cut filet mignon with a buttery, melt-in-your-mouth texture and mild flavor — just 330 calories for the 6 oz cut. It’s the special-occasion pick and the best choice if you find ribeye too rich. Never order it past medium; tenderness is the whole point. Details: Flo’s Filet prices and sizes.
3. Renegade Sirloin® — ~$17.29 (6 oz)
The best-value steak in the building. Lean, bold-flavored, seasoned with LongHorn’s signature Prairie Dust blend. It was ranked last in one critic’s steak ranking — but “worst” here just means leanest; it’s still a genuinely good steak at a fast-casual price. The 6 oz dinner cut keeps you under $20 for a real steakhouse steak.
4. New York Strip® — ~$28.29 (12 oz)
Thick, firm, and packed with robust beef flavor — one of the most-ordered steaks at LongHorn nationwide. If you like a chewier, beefier bite than filet but don’t want the richness of ribeye, this is your cut.
5. Fire-Grilled T-Bone® — ~$31.99 (18 oz)
Tender filet on one side, bold strip on the other — the premium two-cut option for the indecisive. You get to taste both personalities of beef on one plate.
6. LongHorn® Porterhouse — ~$36.99 (22 oz)
The biggest steak on the menu: strip plus tenderloin in one commanding 22-ounce cut. Built for serious appetites (or two people sharing). Note some locations price it higher — confirm locally.
7. Ribeye (12 oz) — ~$28.49
All the marbled flavor of the Outlaw in a boneless, more manageable 12 oz portion. A regular-customer favorite for when 20 ounces is too much commitment.
How to order: doneness guide
LongHorn’s grill masters recommend medium-rare (130–135°F) for ribeye and filet to preserve juiciness, and medium (140–145°F) for leaner cuts like sirloin and strip. Well-done is discouraged for premium cuts — the filet in particular turns leathery past medium.
