From $55 to $110+ Fast

The menu item price does not show the real dinner cost. Two people can keep the bill near $55 to $70 (about 1.8 to 2.3 hours of work at $30 per hour) before tax and tip by choosing lower-priced entrées, water or soft drinks, and no appetizer or dessert. But the same table can easily reach $100 to $130+ before tax and tip with an appetizer, two premium steaks, drinks, and a shared dessert.

For example, two $35.29 Outlaw Ribeyes cost $70.58 before drinks, appetizer, dessert, tax, or tip. Add one appetizer around $11 to $13, two drinks around $3.49 to $13.49 each, and a dessert around $9.99 to $11.99, and the pre-tip bill can move past $100.

That is why LongHorn is better budgeted by the whole meal, not by the steak price alone. The steak may be the main cost, but drinks, appetizers, desserts, tax, and a 15% to 20% tip can add another $25 to $50+ to the table.

Steak Prices at LongHorn

LongHorn’s steak menu is the main reason most customers visit. Current official steak examples include Renegade Sirloin starting at $17.49, Flo’s Filet starting at $26.99, and the Outlaw Ribeye at $35.29 on the official Legendary Steaks menu.

The steak price depends on cut, size, and whether the entrée is part of a combo. A sirloin is usually the lowest-cost steak order, while filet, porterhouse, T-bone, ribeye, and steak-and-seafood combinations cost more.

The LongHorn Porterhouse is one of the most expensive regular steak orders. LongHorn lists the LongHorn Porterhouse at $37.29 and describes it as a 22-ounce cut combining a bone-in strip and filet.

Appetizer Prices

LongHorn appetizers are usually shareable, so they can make sense for a table but can raise the bill quickly for one person. The official appetizer menu currently lists examples such as Parmesan Crusted Fries at $11.29, Parmesan Crusted Spinach Dip at $12.29, and Wild West Shrimp at $13.29.

If two people split a $13.29 appetizer, the cost is about $6.65 per person before tax and tip. If every person orders their own starter, LongHorn can start feeling much closer to a premium steakhouse bill.

Lunch Menu Prices

Lunch is usually the cheapest way to eat at LongHorn. The official Steakhouse Lunch Plates menu lists the Crispy Buttermilk Chicken Sandwich at $9.99 and the Half-Pound Steakhouse Cheeseburger starting at $10.99.

Lunch steaks cost more than sandwiches but may still be cheaper than dinner steaks. LongHorn’s lunch steak menu lists Renegade Sirloin starting at $16.29, while lunch Ribeye and New York Strip examples are listed around $26.99.

For a low-cost LongHorn visit, lunch is usually the best option. A sandwich or burger, water, and no appetizer can keep the pre-tax meal close to $10 to $15. Adding a drink, premium side, or dessert can double that quickly.

Chicken, Seafood, Ribs, and Combos

LongHorn is a steakhouse, but the menu also includes chicken, ribs, shrimp, salmon, pork, salads, and combinations. Current official examples include Redrock Grilled Shrimp starting at $19.29 and LongHorn Salmon with 8 count Redrock Grilled Shrimp starting at $26.99.

Chicken and seafood can be cheaper than premium steak, but that is not always true once the order becomes a combo. A steak-and-shrimp or filet-and-lobster order can cost more than a simple steak entrée.

If you are comparing LongHorn with buying meat to cook at home, remember that restaurant pricing includes cooking, sides, service, and overhead. For home-cooking comparisons, see ThePricer guides on filet mignon cost, ribeye steak cost, and porterhouse steak cost.

Side Prices and Premium Side Upcharges

Sides are where a meal can quietly get more expensive. The official LongHorn sides menu currently lists examples such as Loaded Baked Potato at $3.49, Sweet Potato at $3.49, and Steakhouse Mac and Cheese at $5.99.

Some entrées include a side, but premium sides or substitutions may cost extra depending on location and order type. If you are ordering online, check whether the side is included, substituted, or added as a separate item.

The cheapest side strategy is to keep the included side instead of adding a separate premium side. The most expensive side strategy is adding mac and cheese, loaded potatoes, salads, and steak toppings to an already premium entrée.

Drink Prices

Nonalcoholic beverages usually start around $3.49. LongHorn’s official beverages menu lists soda, tea, lemonades, coffee, and other drinks starting at $3.49.

Alcoholic drinks cost more. The official hand-crafted margaritas menu lists the Texas Margarita at $6.49, The Perfect starting at $10.99, and the Patrón Dragon Fruit Margarita at $13.49.

For two people, switching from water to one premium cocktail each can add about $22 to $27 before tax and tip. That one choice can cost almost as much as a lunch entrée.

Dessert Prices

LongHorn desserts usually cost around $9.99 to $11.99+. The official desserts menu lists Chocolate Stampede at $11.99, Strawberries and Cream Shortcake at $9.99, Molten Lava Cake at $9.99, and cheesecake starting at $10.99.

The Chocolate Stampede is one of LongHorn’s best-known desserts and is large enough for sharing. Splitting one dessert can keep the add-on near $6 per person before tax and tip, while ordering individual desserts can add $20 to $25+ to a table for two.

Kids’ Menu Prices

The kids’ menu is much cheaper than the adult entrée menu. LongHorn’s official Kids Meals menu lists Kraft Macaroni and Cheese at $6.99, Chicken Tenders at $8.49, Grilled Chicken Tenders at $8.49, Cheeseburger starting at $8.49, and Kids’ Sirloin starting at $10.99.

For families, kids’ meals can keep the bill manageable. Two adult steak entrées and two kids’ meals can be much cheaper than ordering four adult entrées, especially if the table skips appetizers, desserts, and premium drinks.

LongHorn Steakhouse Cost Cases

Case 1: Low-cost lunch for one. A customer orders a Crispy Buttermilk Chicken Sandwich for $9.99 and water. Before tax and tip, the meal stays near $10. With tax and a 20% tip, the final dine-in cost may be closer to $13.

Case 2: Steak dinner for one. A customer orders Renegade Sirloin starting at $17.49, a drink starting at $3.49, and no appetizer or dessert. Before tax and tip, the meal is about $20.98. With tax and tip, the final dine-in cost can move into the high $20s.

Case 3: Premium dinner for two. Two people order Outlaw Ribeyes at $35.29 each, one Wild West Shrimp at $13.29, two margaritas at $10.99 each, and one Chocolate Stampede at $11.99. The pre-tax and pre-tip total is $117.84. A 20% tip adds $23.57 before local tax is considered.

Family of Four Dinner

Assume two adults order Renegade Sirloin entrées at $17.49 each. That is $34.98. Two kids order Kraft Macaroni and Cheese at $6.99 each. That adds $13.98.

The family adds one appetizer at $12.29 and four nonalcoholic drinks starting at $3.49 each, adding $13.96 for drinks. The pre-tax and pre-tip total becomes $75.21.

A 20% tip on $75.21 adds about $15.04. Before sales tax, the full dine-in cost is already about $90.25. This is why drinks and appetizers matter so much for family budgeting.

How to Spend Less at LongHorn

The easiest way to spend less is to go at lunch, choose sirloin or a lunch plate, drink water, and skip the appetizer and dessert. Lunch sandwiches and burgers can cost much less than dinner steaks.

Sharing also helps. One appetizer or one dessert split by the table is cheaper than multiple individual add-ons. Families can also keep the bill lower by using kids’ meals instead of adult entrées for younger children.

Brand History

LongHorn Steakhouse started in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1981. The official LongHorn history page says the first restaurant opened on August 10, 1981, and that a 1982 Atlanta snowstorm helped bring in guests and build the restaurant’s early reputation.

Darden Restaurants acquired LongHorn Steakhouse in 2007. Darden’s fiscal 2026 fourth-quarter release lists 618 LongHorn Steakhouse restaurants at the end of the period, up from 591 the year before, through the company’s fiscal 2026 results release.

The chain is part of the same parent company family as Olive Garden. If you are comparing restaurant budgets across Darden brands, see ThePricer’s Olive Garden menu prices.

Nutrition, Allergens, and Food Safety

LongHorn provides nutrition and allergen information separately from the menu. The official nutrition and allergen page says menu items are made fresh to order and may come into contact with allergens during preparation and cooking.

Steak and seafood items may also be cooked to order. If you have a food allergy, intolerance, pregnancy-related concern, immune condition, or medical restriction, tell the server before ordering and review the current allergen guide.

LongHorn vs. Other Steakhouses

LongHorn is generally priced as a casual steakhouse, not a luxury steakhouse. It is usually far cheaper than high-end steakhouse brands, but more expensive than cooking steak at home or ordering a basic fast-casual meal.

Compared with premium steak restaurants such as Nusr-Et, LongHorn is usually much cheaper. Compared with casual chains such as Bubba’s 33, the total depends on whether you order steak, burgers, drinks, and appetizers.

For value, compare the whole plate. LongHorn steak entrées often include a side, and some meals include salad or other accompaniments depending on the item and location. A cheaper steak elsewhere is not automatically cheaper if sides cost more separately.
