Chef Favorites: 6 Best LongHorn Steakhouse Dishes to Order

Texas Roadhouse might get a lot of the attention, but LongHorn Steakhouse has built a loyal following for a reason. It delivers that classic steakhouse experience—juicy steaks, solid sides, and a relaxed atmosphere—without the high-end price tag.

And it’s not just casual diners saying that. Even chefs take notice. As Chef Shaiheem puts it, a well-run LongHorn can hold its own against some seriously respected steakhouses. That says a lot.

With a menu full of tempting options, it can be tough to choose. So to make it easier, here are six standout dishes that consistently rise to the top.

Wild West Shrimp

This is the kind of appetizer that disappears fast.

Crispy, hand-battered shrimp are tossed with garlic butter and spicy peppers, creating a mix of heat and richness that keeps you going back for another bite.

It’s bold, a little messy, and exactly what you want to kick things off.

Flo’s Filet

If you’re looking for something a little more refined, this is it.

Flo’s Filet is a center-cut filet mignon that’s lean but still incredibly tender. It’s seasoned simply and seared to create a nice crust while keeping the inside buttery soft.

It’s a great option when you want steak that feels a bit more classic and polished.

Parmesan Crusted Chicken

Not in the mood for steak? This one’s a standout.

Grilled chicken is topped with a rich, cheesy parmesan and garlic crust, finished with a crunchy panko layer. It’s comforting, flavorful, and surprisingly popular—even in a steakhouse.

Some regulars even ask to add that crust to other dishes, which tells you everything you need to know.

LongHorn Salmon

For something lighter, the salmon is a strong choice.

It’s marinated in a slightly sweet, bourbon-based glaze that caramelizes on the grill. The result is a flavorful, balanced dish that still feels satisfying without being heavy.

It’s a great pick if you want something different but still crave that grilled flavor.

Renegade Sirloin

Simple, affordable, and consistently good.

The Renegade Sirloin proves you don’t have to spend big to get a solid steak. It’s well-seasoned, properly cooked, and doesn’t rely on sauces to carry the flavor.

If you want a reliable go-to that won’t break the bank, this is it.

The Outlaw Ribeye

This is the heavyweight of the menu—and it shows.

The Outlaw Ribeye is a 20-ounce, bone-in cut that’s fire-grilled and packed with flavor. The bone helps lock in juices, while the marbling gives you that rich, tender bite steak lovers are after.

It’s bold, smoky, and satisfying—exactly what you want when you’re going all-in on steak.
