LongHorn Porterhouse Steak (22 oz) Price, Calories & Nutrition (2026)

By [author name] · Last checked: October 2026 ✓ Prices checked Oct 2026

The LongHorn Porterhouse is the biggest steak on the menu: a 22 oz bone-in cut that gives you two steaks on one T-shaped bone, strip steak on one side and tenderloin on the other. In 2026 it costs $27.99–$36.29 depending on location, a range built from third-party menu sources in October 2026. It is the showpiece order, the steak you get when the table wants an event, not just dinner. Prices vary by location, and every price below is a researched 2026 range, checked October 2026.

LongHorn Porterhouse price (2026)

---

Prices are USD, checked October 2026. Prices vary by location. Your LongHorn may charge slightly more or less.

An honesty note up front, because this site does it differently: unlike the strip and T-bone pages, the porterhouse range does not have an official LongHorn menu check behind it. LongHorn’s official 2020-dated PDFs list the porterhouse at $27.49–$28.99. Six years old, useful for confirming the cut exists, useless as a current price. The $27.99–$36.29 range above comes from four third-party menu sources (allfoodmenuprices.org, PriceListo, menulonghorn.com, menudecoded.com), all crawled in 2026, and they agree with each other well. One outlier to ignore: longhorn-menu.com lists $40.99, flagged as stale risk, above every other source and above what real people report paying.

Where does that leave you? Most locations land somewhere in the low-to-mid $30s. The $27.99 floor is the allfoodmenuprices figure, which runs low on everything, so treat it as the floor, not the price you’ll see. And if your menu shows $38–$41, that’s above the 2026 range: it happens at high-cost locations, but it’s worth knowing you’re paying a premium before you order. Is LongHorn expensive?

What is a porterhouse?

---

A porterhouse and a T-bone are the same idea. Both are cut from the short loin with the T-shaped bone running down the middle, strip steak on one side and tenderloin on the other. The difference is where along the loin the cut comes from. The porterhouse is cut from the thicker rear end, where the tenderloin is at its widest, so you get a genuinely generous filet portion alongside the strip. The T-bone comes from further forward, where the tenderloin narrows.

That is the whole distinction, and it matters: a T-bone can have a disappointingly thin tenderloin side. A true porterhouse has a tenderloin side worth eating on its own. At 22 oz, LongHorn’s version clears the bar comfortably. It is the thickest, most substantial steak they serve.

1. Two steaks, one bone. The strip side is firm and beefy; the tenderloin side is buttery and mild. You get the full spectrum of steak texture in a single order, which is the entire point of the cut.

2. The bone does real work. Bone-in steaks cook more evenly and pick up extra flavor around the bone. The 22 oz figure includes the bone, so the edible portion is a little less, but what remains is a very large steak.

3. Fire-grilled with the char seasoning. Like everything on LongHorn’s grill, it goes over open flame. The porterhouse’s thickness takes the char beautifully, with a proper crust outside and pink inside.

What does the LongHorn Porterhouse taste like?

---

The porterhouse does not taste like one steak. It tastes like two, and the pleasure is in the range between them.

The strip side: firm and beefy. One side of the bone is New York strip, the same cut as the 12 oz strip on the menu, and it eats exactly like the strip: tight grain, real chew, clean beef flavor, and a charred crust from the open flame.

The tenderloin side: soft and mild. The other side is tenderloin, the same muscle as Flo’s Filet, and it eats soft and mild, almost buttery. On the porterhouse this side is genuinely generous, large enough to eat as a steak in its own right rather than as a few bites.

The bone’s contribution. Bone-in steaks cook more evenly and pick up extra flavor around the bone, and the porterhouse’s thickness takes the char beautifully: a proper crust outside and pink inside.

Porterhouse calories & nutrition

---

No official calorie figure for the porterhouse was available at the time of checking. LongHorn publishes per-item calories on its location menus, and the porterhouse number did not surface in the sources we could verify. Stating an official-looking number here would be faked data, so here is the honest version: third-party nutrition databases put a 22 oz bone-in porterhouse at roughly 1,300–1,500 calories for the edible portion. That is an estimate, not a LongHorn figure. It makes the porterhouse the heaviest steak on the menu, ahead of the 20 oz Outlaw Ribeye (about 1,250 cal) and the 18 oz T-bone (1,130 cal, official).

What that means in practice: this is a two-person steak for most appetites, or a serious commitment for one. If you are counting, plan the sides accordingly. A plain baked potato and steamed broccoli keep the meal honest; a loaded potato and mac & cheese turn it into the full steakhouse blowout. Keto guide: what to order at LongHorn →

LongHorn Porterhouse vs the other steaks

---

Price ranges from the project’s price-ranges file, checked October 2026.

Porterhouse vs T-Bone is the comparison everyone asks about, and the answer is simple: same cut family, different size. The 18 oz T-Bone ($31.29–$32.49, officially verified) is the porterhouse’s smaller sibling, strip plus tenderloin on the same T-shaped bone, but cut thinner with a narrower tenderloin side. The porterhouse gives you 4 more ounces and a fuller filet portion for roughly the same money. At mid-range prices the porterhouse is arguably the better value per ounce. Choose the T-bone when 22 oz sounds like too much steak; choose the porterhouse when you want the full experience. Full Fire-Grilled T-Bone breakdown →

Porterhouse vs Outlaw Ribeye: the two heavyweights. The Outlaw (20 oz bone-in, $25.49–$36.79) is all about marbled richness, one cut, maximum beef flavor. The porterhouse (22 oz, $27.99–$36.29) is about variety, two textures, still bone-in, slightly bigger. Flavor maximalists take the Outlaw; people who want the tour take the porterhouse. Full Outlaw Ribeye breakdown →

Porterhouse vs New York Strip: funny comparison, because the porterhouse contains a strip. The 12 oz strip ($27.49–$28.79) is the lean, firm, no-nonsense steak, and it sits on one side of the porterhouse’s bone. If you love the strip but wish it came with a tenderloin attached, the porterhouse is your answer. Full New York Strip breakdown →

Is the LongHorn Porterhouse worth it?

---

Real people keep asking this exact question. “Is the LongHorn porterhouse good?” and “Was the $41 porterhouse worth it?” both show up in the questions people actually ask, so here is the straight answer.

At a mid-range price around $32, the 22 oz porterhouse is one of the better values on the premium end of the menu. You are getting the biggest steak LongHorn sells, two premium cuts in one, bone-in flavor, for roughly what the 20 oz Outlaw Ribeye costs. Per ounce, it holds its own against everything except the budget sirloin.

The “$41 question” is where it gets interesting. $41 sits above the 2026 range ($27.99–$36.29). Someone paid it, asked whether it was worth it, and the honest answer is: at $41 the math gets harder. You are paying a ~25% premium over the typical price for the same steak. It can still be worth it as an occasion meal, for birthdays, celebrations, and the table-spectacle factor, but at that price you should know you are at the top of the market, not the middle of it.

Order it when:

You want the biggest steak on the menu. The 22 oz porterhouse is the answer to “what is the biggest steak at LongHorn,” full stop.

You cannot choose between strip and filet. The porterhouse refuses to choose for you, and that is its charm.

The table wants an event. This is the steak that gets photographed before it gets eaten.

Skip it when:

22 oz is simply too much food. The 18 oz T-Bone gives you the same two-cut experience in a smaller package.

You are price-sensitive at the top end. If your location prices it near $40, the value case weakens; the Outlaw Ribeye or strip deliver more certainty per dollar.

You want tenderness above all. The tenderloin side is tender, but the strip side has real chew; pure tenderness people should look at Flo’s Filet.

The honest takeaway: the porterhouse is the menu’s showpiece, not its everyday steak. At a mid-range price it is one of the best premium values on the menu. At $40-plus, it is an occasion meal, and it should be ordered as one.

How to order the porterhouse well

---

Order medium-rare, the two sides demand it. The tenderloin side cooks faster than the strip side. At medium-rare both sides are happy; past medium, the tenderloin side starts to dry while the strip side is just getting there. Medium-rare is the sweet spot, medium is the ceiling.

Consider sharing. 22 oz is a lot of steak. Two moderate appetites can split a porterhouse with sides and leave satisfied, and splitting the bill turns a $34 steak into a $17-per-person event. Ask the kitchen to carve both sections off the bone if you are sharing; it makes splitting far easier.

Ask about the tenderloin side. Because the porterhouse’s whole point is the generous filet portion, it is worth a glance when it arrives. You paid for two steaks, so make sure both showed up.

Let the bone rest the steak. Thick bone-in cuts keep cooking after they leave the grill. Give it a few minutes before cutting in. The juices redistribute and the temperature evens out between the two sides.

Do not pay the top of the range blind. The $27.99–$36.29 spread is wide, nearly $8. If your menu shows the porterhouse near $40, that is above the 2026 range; ask whether that is the current price or check a neighboring location’s menu. Prices vary by location, but you should know where you stand.

What to order with the LongHorn Porterhouse

---

At 22 oz and an estimated 1,300–1,500 calories before sides, the porterhouse is a showpiece order. The plate around it should either keep it honest or lean into the event, on purpose.

Sides that keep it honest. A plain baked potato ($3.49) and steamed broccoli ($3.49, 90 calories) or asparagus ($5.99, 90 calories) let the steak be the meal without pushing the day further over the edge.

Sides for the full blowout. A loaded baked potato ($3.49) or steakhouse mac & cheese ($5.99, about 610 calories) turns the porterhouse into the full steakhouse event it is built to be.

Something to drink. A draft beer or a frozen margarita works with the porterhouse’s two-sided flavor. Margaritas run $8.49–$11.49 a glass, and draft beer lists vary by location.

If you have room. The Chocolate Stampede ($11.49–$11.99, about 2,460 calories) is built for sharing, which fits a steak that already divides along the bone. Chocolate cake lovers go for the Molten Lava Cake ($8.29–$9.79, about 1,100 calories), and the Strawberries & Cream Shortcake ($6.99–$9.79, about 640 calories) is the lightest finish.

Honesty flag: unlike the strip and T-bone pages, this cut has no official per-location menu verification behind its range. The range is a cross-check of four third-party sources, and it is labelled as such. If LongHorn’s current location menus surface a verified porterhouse price, this page gets updated first.

Nutrition sources: no official LongHorn calorie figure found for the porterhouse. The ~1,300–1,500 estimate is from third-party nutrition databases, clearly labelled. Not faked as official.

Real-people material: “What is the biggest steak at LongHorn?” (PAA, answered by this page’s core claim), “Is the LongHorn porterhouse good?” (YouTube), “Was the $41 porterhouse worth it?” ×2 (YouTube). The worth-it section answers all three directly.

Confidence note: price range is good (4 third-party sources, 2026, mutually consistent) but one tier below the officially-verified cuts, so re-verify against LongHorn’s live location menus when the site launches.

Frequently Asked Questions

---

How much is the LongHorn Porterhouse?

The 22 oz porterhouse costs $27.99–$36.29 in 2026, depending on location, a range built from third-party menu sources in October 2026. Most locations land in the low-to-mid $30s. Prices vary by location.

What is the biggest steak at LongHorn?

The 22 oz LongHorn Porterhouse, nothing else on the menu is larger. The 20 oz Outlaw Ribeye is the next biggest.

What is the difference between the porterhouse and the T-bone at LongHorn?

Same cut family, different size. Both have strip steak and tenderloin on a T-shaped bone, but the porterhouse is cut thicker from the rear of the short loin, so its tenderloin side is fuller. LongHorn’s porterhouse is 22 oz ($27.99–$36.29); the T-bone is 18 oz ($31.29–$32.49).

How many calories are in LongHorn’s Porterhouse?

LongHorn has not published a verifiable official figure for the porterhouse. Third-party nutrition databases estimate roughly 1,300–1,500 calories for the edible portion of a 22 oz bone-in porterhouse, an estimate, not an official number, and the heaviest steak on the menu either way.

Is the LongHorn Porterhouse good?

Yes, it is the menu’s showpiece steak, with two premium cuts in one, bone-in, fire-grilled. It is the right order when you want the full steakhouse experience, and the wrong order when 22 oz is more food than you want.

Was the $41 porterhouse worth it?

$41 is above the 2026 researched range ($27.99–$36.29), so at that price you are paying a premium over the typical menu price. As an occasion meal it can still be worth it, but know you are at the top of the market, not the middle of it.

Is the porterhouse on the lunch menu?

One third-party source lists a lunch porterhouse at $35.99 (October 2026), near the top of the dinner range rather than below it, which is unusual for a lunch listing. Check your local LongHorn’s menu before counting on it.

Is the porterhouse keto-friendly?

Yes, the steak itself has roughly 0 g of carbs, like all of LongHorn’s plain-grilled steaks. At an estimated 1,300–1,500 calories it is a heavy keto meal, so plan light sides: steamed broccoli or a side salad.

Can two people share a Porterhouse?

Yes, and it is arguably the best sharing steak on the menu. Because the strip and filet sections are both substantial, it divides cleanly between two diners with different preferences. Ask the kitchen to carve both sections off the bone, which makes splitting far easier.

Is the Porterhouse worth the extra money over the T-Bone?

It depends on how much you care about the filet. The porterhouse gives you 4 more ounces and a materially larger tenderloin section, large enough to eat as a steak in its own right, for roughly the same money as the 18 oz T-Bone. If the strip is what you are really after, the T-Bone is the better buy.

What doneness should I order a Porterhouse?

Medium-rare is the sweet spot, medium is the ceiling. The tenderloin side has very little fat and will dry out well before the strip side finishes if cooked further. On the biggest steak on the menu, ordering it well-done wastes the tenderloin entirely.
