How to Order Lighter at LongHorn Steakhouse
The standard advice — "just get a salad" — collapses immediately at most casual dining chains, because the salads are often the most calorie-dense items on the menu thanks to creamy dressings, candied nuts and fried protein. LongHorn Steakhouse is no exception. Here is what actually works.
Five lighter picks
- Seasoned Rice — 180 cal, 4g protein
- Renegade Sirloin (6oz) — 280 cal, 42g protein
- LongHorn Caesar Salad — 390 cal, 11g protein
- Flo's Filet (8oz) — 410 cal, 60g protein
- Salmon (7oz) — 410 cal, 52g protein
Five to plan around (or split with a friend)
- Chocolate Stampede — 2210 cal, 820 mg sodium
- Porterhouse (22oz) — 1320 cal, 1410 mg sodium
- Texas Tonion — 1290 cal, 2380 mg sodium

A couple of universal moves at LongHorn Steakhouse
- Skip the complimentary bread/breadsticks at the table — they are easily 300+ calories before the meal arrives.
- Order any creamy or vinaigrette dressing on the side; it usually doubles a salad's calorie count.
- When in doubt, swap fries for a side of seasonal vegetables or a side salad with vinaigrette on the side.
- Box half before you start. Restaurant portions are calibrated for sharing, even when they are not labeled that way.
