Looking for the lunch menu for LongHorn? LongHorn’s lunch runs Monday–Saturday, 11 AM–3 PM. There is no lunch menu on Sundays. The core Steakhouse Lunch Plates run about $9.49–$11.99 and each one bundles a lunch item with a side, soup, or salad. The same kitchen also serves lunch-priced versions of dinner favourites (steaks, salmon, ribs) for more, so the cheapest way to eat at LongHorn is a Lunch Plate, not a full dinner entrée ordered at noon. Prices vary by location, so every price below is a researched 2026 range, checked November 8, 2026. Below: the lunch hours, the five Lunch Plates with prices, an honest lunch vs dinner comparison, the lunch-priced steaks and seafood, the best value lunch picks, and answers to the questions diners actually ask.

LongHorn lunch hours
Lunch runs Monday to Saturday, 11 AM to 3 PM. Arrive before 3 PM to order from the lunch menu. Order at 3:01 PM and you are on dinner pricing. On Sundays there is no lunch menu at all: the full dinner menu runs all day, at dinner prices.
Lunch is also the fastest option when you are short on time. The plates are smaller portions, one bundled plate, no steakhouse wait for a full dinner cut. If you are planning around a tight schedule, a Lunch Plate gets you in and out quicker than a full dinner entrée.

Prices are USD, checked November 8, 2026. Prices vary by location. Your LongHorn may charge slightly more or less. The Pick Two price (~$9.49) comes from one 2026 source, so treat it as approximate until a second source confirms it.
Lunch vs dinner: what you actually save
This is the comparison most menu sites get wrong. They list a lunch price next to a dinner price and call the gap a saving. The honest version is more careful: lunch is a big win on some dishes and a small win, or no win at all, on others. Where the lunch floor sits above the dinner floor, the saving only shows up at higher-priced locations, and the lunch portion is smaller. Read the honest note column before you assume lunch always wins.

The honest takeaway: lunch is a clear win on the five Lunch Plates and on Lemon Garlic Chicken, where the lunch price sits below the whole dinner range. On steaks, salmon, ribs, and tenders, lunch is usually a smaller portion priced near the low end of the dinner range, so the saving is smaller than the headline pair suggests. If you can only visit at dinner, you are not always overpaying. You are often paying the same floor price for a full dinner portion. For the full dinner list, see the dinner menu with prices →
Lunch-priced steaks and seafood
Steaks and seafood are also served at lunch, at lunch prices. These five figures come from a single 2026 source (menulonghorn.com, October 2026), so treat them with more caution than the Lunch Plates above. Two of them sit above our verified dinner ceilings, which is a warning sign, not a deal: the lunch NY Strip at $30.29 sits above the dinner top of $28.79, and the lunch T-Bone at $33.29 sits above the dinner top of $32.49. Either the lunch portions differ, or the source runs high. Check the price in-store before counting on these.

Desserts at lunch cost about the same as at dinner, so there is no lunch saving there either. The same single source lists the Chocolate Stampede at $11.79 at lunch, against a dinner range of $11.49–$11.99, and the Shortcake at $9.79, the Molten Lava Cake at $9.79, and the Cheesecake at $10.79, all inside their dinner ranges. Order dessert because you want it, not because lunch makes it cheaper.
Best value picks at lunch
1. Pick Two Soup & Salad (~$9.49) is the lowest-priced lunch, and the only one under $10. Best for a light, fast lunch. Price is approximate, single source.
2. Lemon Garlic Chicken (from $14.29) is the one lunch dish that beats the whole dinner range, saving at least ~$4.50 at every location. Best for the biggest guaranteed saving.
3. Grilled Chicken & Strawberry Salad ($10.99) has the biggest lunch-vs-dinner gap on the menu (up to ~$6.80 under the dinner top) for a full salad.
4. 7-Pepper Sirloin Salad ($11.99) is steakhouse steak in salad form at lunch pricing, up to ~$6.80 under its dinner top, and the lunch salad runs about 250 calories.
5. Half-Pound Cheeseburger ($10.99) is the one diners call the $10.99 lunch burger “cheaper than fast food” for a half-pound steakhouse burger with a side.
6. Crispy Buttermilk Chicken Sandwich ($9.99) is the cheapest hot lunch plate, up to ~$4.50 under the dinner top.
What lunch doesn’t include
No Sunday lunch. Sundays run the full dinner menu all day.
No full dinner steak cuts at lunch-plate prices. Lunch portions of Flo’s Filet, salmon, and ribs cost more than the $9.49–$11.99 Lunch Plates. The bundle price only covers the five plates in the table above.
No guaranteed saving on steaks and seafood. Lunch floors for Renegade Sirloin, salmon, ribs, tenders, and Flo’s Filet all sit above the cheapest dinner prices we found, so lunch is a smaller portion at a similar price, not a discount.
No cheaper desserts. Lunch dessert prices sit inside the dinner ranges, so dessert costs the same at lunch as at dinner.
No guarantee every location matches these prices. LongHorn doesn’t publish one national price list; the ranges above are the spread across 2026 sources, and your location sits somewhere inside it.

How lunch works: ordering, takeout, and timing
Arrive before 3 PM. Lunch plates are only served Monday to Saturday, 11 AM to 3 PM. If you arrive at 3:01 PM, you order from the full dinner menu at dinner prices. There is no grace period we could verify, so plan to be seated and ordering before 3 PM, not walking in at 3 PM.
Call ahead if you are short on time. LongHorn does not accept reservations, but the call-ahead waitlist works at lunch too: call your location, get on the list, and arrive when your table is nearly ready. This matters most on Friday lunch, when nearby offices fill the dining room.
Takeout works for lunch plates. Lunch plates are available for takeout at most locations, but confirm with your local restaurant, since availability and pricing can vary by location. The Pick Two and the salads travel best; the cheeseburger and chicken sandwich are the usual to-go orders.
Families: lunch is the cheap window, and the kids menu is cheaper still. Kids 12 and under eat from the kids menu, with meals from $4.99 on our homepage guide, and a kids sirloin is widely shared as a value hack. See the kids section on the homepage before you visit.
What to wear: dress is casual, with no formal dress code, at lunch or dinner.
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 500 plus days. We do not. Every price range on this site is checked the same way.
Cross-checked across sources
The official longhornsteakhouse.com menu (checked live October 10, 2026, with Dallas, Orlando, and Atlanta locations selected) plus independent 2026 menu price trackers, including menulonghorn.com, allfoodmenuprices.org, PriceListo, and menudecoded.com. Prices were re-checked against our own live dish pages on November 8, 2026.
Shown as a range, not a single number
Because LongHorn sets prices per location. The range is the lowest to highest credible 2026 price we found. 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 and “updated 2026” pages whose last real update was over a year ago. We also discarded a source page that listed the wrong restaurant entirely.
Confidence note, stated honestly
Strongest: the dinner comparisons in the lunch-vs-dinner table, each with two or more independent 2026 sources, plus our own live dish pages. Weakest: the lunch-specific prices themselves, which rest mainly on menulonghorn.com as the single 2026 source. That covers the five Lunch Plates, led by the Pick Two at ~$9.49, and all five lunch steak and seafood prices (Outlaw $35.79, NY Strip $30.29, T-Bone $33.29, Porterhouse $35.99, Ribeye $26.99) and the four lunch dessert prices (Stampede $11.79, Shortcake $9.79, Molten Lava Cake $9.79, Cheesecake $10.79). Two of the lunch steak prices sit above our verified dinner ceilings, so treat them with extra caution. Single source does not mean wrong, it means verify in-store if the exact price matters to you. No lunch calories are printed for the Pick Two, the cheeseburger, the chicken sandwich, or the lunch steak portions, because no verified figure exists; the two calorie figures on this page are the 7-Pepper Sirloin Salad lunch (~250) and dinner (~490), from FatSecret and CalorieKing in agreement.
