LongHorn sides and soups at a glance (2026)

---

If you only need the quick picture, here it is. Regular sides (potatoes, fries, rice, and broccoli) sit at $3.49. Signature sides (mac and cheese, Brussels sprouts, asparagus, and corn on the cob) sit at $5.99. Side salads sit in between, at $4.99 for mixed greens or Caesar and $5.49–$5.99 for the strawberry and pecan salad. All three soups sit at the same price, $6.49 a bowl.

Prices are USD, checked November 8, 2026. Prices vary by location. Your LongHorn may charge slightly more or less.

Full LongHorn sides menu with prices

This is the complete sides menu, not just the highlights. There are 14 sides in total: 4 signature sides, 3 side salads, and 7 regular sides including the Great Steak Additions option. The Steakhouse Mac & Cheese has its own page on this site; the other sides are covered here.

A note on how to read this table: a single price such as $5.99 or $3.49 means the trustworthy 2026 sources we found agreed on that figure, not that every LongHorn charges exactly that amount to the cent. Prices still vary by location, and your local restaurant is the final word. The one true range in the table is the Strawberry & Pecan side salad at $5.49–$5.99, where sources disagreed by 50 cents.

The $3.49 group is where the value lives. It is the cheapest way to round out a steak dinner without adding a second entree, and two or three $3.49 sides to share often beat one $5.99 signature side per person for a family. The $5.99 group is where LongHorn puts its signature effort. People order the mac and cheese as a meal by itself, they defend the Brussels sprouts in reviews, and they ask for the grilled corn to stay on the menu. Those are not filler sides. They are dishes people plan around.

Full LongHorn soup menu with prices

LongHorn keeps its soup menu short: three soups, one price. That simplicity is a strength. You do not have to compare soup prices across the menu, because there is only one number to remember.

All three soups are single-source prices, stated plainly: each $6.49 figure comes from one independent 2026 source (menulonghorn.com), as flagged in the accuracy section below. We publish them because that source is fresh and consistent across all three soups, and because earlier research also recorded the Loaded Potato Soup at around $6.49 a bowl. Still, a single source is weaker than two sources agreeing, so treat $6.49 as the best verified 2026 figure we have, not as an official LongHorn announcement, and confirm in store if the exact price matters to your budget.

Which soup should you pick? The French Onion Soup is the classic steakhouse starter, rich and savory. The Loaded Potato Soup is the crowd favorite and the most ordered soup on the menu, hearty enough to stand as a light meal with bread or a side salad. The Shrimp & Lobster Chowder is the seafood option, for when someone wants seafood without a full seafood entree. At the same $6.49 price, the choice comes down to taste, not value.

Best sides at LongHorn

---

Diners do not agree on everything about LongHorn. They argue about seasoning, about which steak is best, and about whether prices have crept too high. On sides, though, a clear set of favorites emerges from real diner talk, and these are the picks worth ordering first if you have never tried them.

Steakhouse Mac & Cheese, the side people order as a meal

The Steakhouse Mac & Cheese at $5.99 is the one side diners order on its own, and the side most often named when people list what they love at LongHorn. It is rich and filling, and its creamy texture balances the char of a fire-grilled steak. If you try one signature side, try this one. It is also the safest bet for a picky eater. The $5.99 figure was re-verified on November 8, 2026 against five independent 2026 sources, including a three-city check that found the same $5.99 in Atlanta, Orlando, and Columbus.

Loaded Baked Potato, the best value on the menu

The Loaded Baked Potato at $3.49 is the best value side at LongHorn. It is filling enough to turn a smaller steak into a complete dinner, and it costs less than any signature side. It works with a ribeye, a sirloin, chicken, or seafood, and it never fights with the main dish.

Brussels Sprouts, the surprise favorite

Brussels sprouts can sound like a duty vegetable, but at LongHorn they are a genuine favorite at $5.99. Diners who normally skip sprouts order these, and they come up in recommendation threads alongside the mac and cheese. If your table wants one vegetable that feels like a real dish, this is the pick.

Steamed Broccoli, the lighter choice that still satisfies

Steamed Broccoli at $3.49 is the lighter pick that does not feel like a punishment. It is fresh and clean tasting next to a rich steak, and it is a strong choice for diners watching carbs. It also fits a keto or low carb approach.

Asparagus and Corn on the Cob, the steakhouse classics

Asparagus at $5.99 and Corn on the Cob at $5.99 are the two classic steakhouse vegetables. Asparagus is the more refined choice, the one that suits a filet dinner. Corn on the cob is the crowd pleaser, the one diners specifically ask LongHorn to keep on the menu, and a favorite for sharing at a family table.

Mashed Potatoes and Seasoned Fries, the comfort picks

Mashed Potatoes at $3.49 and Seasoned Fries at $3.49 are the comfort sides. Mashed potatoes are soft and familiar, and they are one of the dishes diners love with a parmesan crust on top (see the ordering hack below). Seasoned fries are the casual pick, the one kids reach for first, and the best side when the table wants something easy to share.

Best side for every steak

---

The right side depends on the steak. A rich ribeye wants something fresh to cut through it. A lean sirloin wants something richer to round it out. A filet wants something refined that does not overpower it. Use this guide as a starting point, then adjust to your own taste.

For non-steak entrees, the same logic applies. Parmesan Crusted Chicken pairs well with mashed potatoes or asparagus. Salmon pairs best with rice pilaf, asparagus, or steamed broccoli, which keep the plate light. Baby back ribs pair with seasoned fries, corn on the cob, or a loaded baked potato. If you are unsure, ask your server. They handle these pairings all day.

Ordering tips: how to get the most from LongHorn sides and soups

---

Ask for the parmesan crust on any steak, seafood, or side

This is the single best ordering hack on the LongHorn menu, and it comes straight from real diners. The tip, repeated across Reddit and TikTok, is simple: ask for the parmesan crust on any steak, seafood or side. Diners report that the crust works on mashed potatoes, on chicken, on seafood, and on steaks, with comments like “anything parmesan crusted here is good”. You do not need a secret menu. You just need to ask.

Use the Pick Two soup and salad lunch for the best soup value

The Pick Two soup and salad lunch is the smartest way to enjoy LongHorn soup. At about $9.49, it pairs one soup with one salad for lunch, Monday to Saturday, 11 AM to 3 PM. Compared with a $6.49 soup on its own at dinner, the lunch combo gives you a full light meal for only a few dollars more. See the lunch section on the homepage.

Order sides to share, and mix a signature side with a $3.49 side

One easy way to overspend is to order a $5.99 signature side for every person at the table. Instead, order one signature side to share, such as the mac and cheese or the Brussels sprouts, plus one or two $3.49 sides for variety. A table of four can cover mac and cheese, loaded baked potatoes, and steamed broccoli for far less than four signature sides, and everyone tastes more.

If the seasoning is too much, say so before you order

The most common food complaint about LongHorn in real diner talk is over-seasoning, with several diners calling steaks too salty or too peppery. The fix is easy and free: ask for the seasoning to be left off, or ask for light seasoning, when you order. The same advice applies to sides. A simple request at ordering time beats sending a plate back later.

Build a lighter plate without giving up the steakhouse experience

You do not have to skip LongHorn to eat lighter. Pair a steak or grilled chicken with steamed broccoli, asparagus, or a mixed greens side salad, and you keep the steakhouse experience with a much lighter plate. Save the mac and cheese and the loaded potato for a visit when you want the full indulgent dinner.

Confirm soup and side prices in store if your budget is tight

Prices vary by location, and side and soup prices rest on fewer sources than steak prices. If you are planning a tight budget dinner, a quick check of your local LongHorn menu online, or a quick call ahead, will confirm the exact price at your location.

Sides and soups for special diets

---

LongHorn sides cover a wide range of eating styles. Steamed broccoli, asparagus, mixed greens, and Caesar side salads (ask about dressing and croutons if you need them left off) are the most flexible choices for lighter, lower carb, and gluten sensitive diners. Sweet potato and rice pilaf suit diners who want a filling side without wheat.

For keto and low carb diners, the strongest sides are steamed broccoli, asparagus, Brussels sprouts, mixed greens, and Caesar side salad, paired with a grilled steak, chicken, or salmon. Skip mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, seasoned fries, rice pilaf, sweet potato, and corn on a strict low carb day, plus the loaded potato soup. The keto guide on this site will give a fuller per item breakdown when it is published.

For vegetarian diners, most sides are meat free on their face, including mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, broccoli, asparagus, Brussels sprouts, corn, rice pilaf, fries, sweet potato, and the side salads. Always confirm soup preparation with your server if you eat strictly vegetarian, because stocks and cooking methods can vary by location. For gluten sensitive diners, plain vegetables, potatoes, rice pilaf, and salads without croutons are usually the safer bets, but cross contact is always possible, so tell your server about your needs when you order.

How we keep this page accurate

---

Most menu sites copy each other’s numbers, including stale 2020 prices and pages that have not been updated in over a year. We do not. Every price on this page was checked on November 8, 2026, from 2026 sources only, and stale sources were discarded, not used.

Cross-checked across sources

Side and soup prices here come from independent 2026 trackers, principally menulonghorn.com (updated in early October 2026, the freshest source we found), allfoodmenuprices.org (updated October 8, 2026), and longhornsteakhousemenuprice.us for the loaded baked potato. The official LongHorn website was checked live on October 10, 2026 at three US locations for hero dishes, but sides and soups were not among the dishes verified live on the official site that day, which is why this page is transparent about source strength below. Prices were re-checked against our own dish-page research on November 8, 2026.

Shown as a range, not a single number

Because LongHorn sets prices per location. Where two sources disagreed, the page shows the range, as with the Strawberry & Pecan side salad at $5.49–$5.99. A single number from another site is usually one store’s price, not the national rule.

Stamped with a checked date

This page was last checked November 8, 2026. If a price is older than the stamp on the page, assume it is outdated.

Purged of known stale traps

We discarded sources still showing 2020 era prices, including the official 2020 menu structure that listed signature sides at $5.29 and regular sides at $2.99, and “updated 2026” pages whose last real update was over a year ago.

Confidence note, stated honestly

Confidence is moderate for sides and lower for soups. Most side prices rest on a single source each: the three other $5.99 signature sides and most $3.49 regular sides come from menulonghorn.com alone. Three exceptions are stronger: the Steakhouse Mac & Cheese at $5.99 was re-verified on November 8, 2026 against five independent 2026 sources, including a three-city check that found the same $5.99 in Atlanta, Orlando, and Columbus; the Strawberry & Pecan side salad at $5.49–$5.99 comes from two sources (allfoodmenuprices.org and menulonghorn.com); and the Loaded Baked Potato at $3.49 is consistent across two sources (menulonghorn.com and longhornsteakhousemenuprice.us). All three soups at $6.49 are single-source, from menulonghorn.com alone. Single-source does not mean wrong, it means verify in-store if the exact price matters to you.
