LongHorn Chop Steak Price, Calories & Nutrition (2026)

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

The LongHorn Chop Steak is a 10 oz ground beef patty, fire-grilled and topped with roasted mushrooms, caramelized onions, and a savory garlic herb sauce. In 2026, the chop steak LongHorn price is $11.99–$15.99 depending on location, and the entrée is about 640 calories before sides. Here is the honest answer up front: it is not a whole-muscle steak like the Ribeye or the Sirloin. It is ground beef formed into a steak shape, in the same family as Salisbury steak and hamburger steak. If you want comfort food at the lowest beef-entrée price on the menu, this is the dish to order. If you want a real hand-cut steak, the Renegade Sirloin is the better pick. The full comparison is below. Prices vary by location, so every price below is a researched 2026 range, checked October 10, 2026.

Chop Steak price (2026)

---

Prices are USD, checked October 10, 2026. Prices vary by location. Your LongHorn may charge slightly more or less.

The Chop Steak is the cheapest beef entrée on LongHorn’s menu, and the range reflects that: it starts where the cheapest steak ends. One honest conflict to flag: a 2026 competitor guide lists the Chop Steak at $16.29, above our $15.99 ceiling. Our range comes from four independent 2026 sources, so we keep it, but if your location charges $16.29, that listing may be the one that matches. The menu at your location is the only price that matters. The entrée comes with your choice of side and a hand-chopped house salad, which is a large part of why it is such strong value.

At $1.20–$1.60 an ounce, it is the cheapest beef on the menu by the ounce, and the 10 oz patty is a full dinner portion.

Is the Chop Steak real steak or ground beef?

---

Ground beef. This is the question diners ask about this dish (once in our questions research, from Facebook), and the answer is simple: the Chop Steak is a 10 oz patty of freshly ground beef, formed into a steak shape and grilled over the same open flame as LongHorn’s hand-cut steaks. It is not portioned from a primal cut like the Ribeye or the Renegade Sirloin, and it does not have the grain, the chew, or the slice structure of a whole-muscle steak. Its texture is uniformly soft, closer to a thick hamburger patty than to a sliced steak.

The name is the confusing part. “Chop steak” (also called chopped steak) is an old American dish name for exactly this: seasoned ground beef, shaped, grilled, and served with mushrooms, onions, and gravy or sauce. LongHorn’s version follows that tradition, with roasted mushrooms, caramelized onions, and garlic herb sauce on top. Calling it a steak is tradition, not deception, but if you order it expecting a hand-cut steak, you will be disappointed. Order it expecting hearty comfort food, and it makes sense.

One practical consequence: because grinding spreads surface bacteria through the meat, ground beef must be cooked to a higher internal temperature than whole-muscle steak. You cannot order the Chop Steak medium-rare. If a pink center matters to you, order a hand-cut steak such as the Renegade Sirloin instead.

What does the Chop Steak taste like?

---

The Chop Steak does not taste like a steak. It tastes like comfort food, and the sauce is the point.

Sauced, not plain. The roasted mushrooms, caramelized onions, and garlic herb sauce are not a garnish. They are the flavour. The patty itself is mild, seasoned ground beef, and the topping carries the dish.

Soft by construction. Ground beef has no grain to chew through, so the texture is uniformly soft, closer to a thick hamburger patty than to a sliced steak. There is no chew, no slice structure, and no pink center.

Still fire-grilled. The patty goes over the same open flame as LongHorn’s hand-cut steaks, so it picks up the grill flavour and the char seasoning. The flame is the one thing it shares with the steaks.

Chop Steak calories & nutrition

---

LongHorn does not publish a single national nutrition PDF. Nutrition is shown per item only after you select a location on the official site. The figures below are the entrée on its own (patty plus mushroom, onion, and sauce topping, before the house salad, bread, and side), and the headline calorie figure agrees across the sources that list it.

Sources: FatSecret nutrition database (640 cal / 46 g fat / 13 g carbs / 44 g protein); independent competitor guide nutrition table (640 cal / 38 g fat / 12 g carbs / 50 g protein / 1,200–1,500 mg sodium). The ranges above reflect that the two sources disagree slightly. Treat these as third-party estimates, not official figures.

What that means in practice: the Chop Steak is filling and protein-rich, but it is not a light order. At about 640 calories before sides, it lands near the New York Strip (630 cal) and well above the Renegade Sirloin (320 cal for 6 oz). The mushrooms, onions, and sauce add flavor, not bulk, so most of the calories are the beef itself. Pair it with steamed broccoli or a side salad if you want to keep the meal in check. It fits a low-carb way of eating on carbs alone (about 12–13 g), but the sodium runs high, so it is not a low-sodium pick. Keto guide: what to order at LongHorn →

Chop Steak vs Renegade Sirloin

---

Price ranges from the project’s price-ranges file, checked 10 Oct 2026. Renegade Sirloin official check: 6 oz $16.29–$17.49, 8 oz $19.29–$20.49 (Dallas/Orlando/Atlanta, 10 Oct 2026).

Pick the Chop Steak when: you want the cheapest full beef dinner, you love comfort food with mushrooms and onions, or you want a filling meal without a big steak price. It gives you more food by weight than the sirloin for less money.

Pick the Renegade Sirloin when: you want a genuine hand-cut steak with whole-muscle texture, you want a pink center, or you want the lighter meal. The sirloin costs a little more at the low end but carries about half the calories of the Chop Steak.

What diners actually say

---

This dish splits opinion more than most of the menu, and both sides are worth hearing. Fans call it hearty comfort food and, in one detailed review, the standout of their whole visit: the mushrooms, caramelized onions, and garlic herb sauce working together, with creamy mashed potatoes as the surprise hit on the side. Critics are blunter. The most quoted complaint calls it “a hamburger served as if it were a steak,” with others calling it salty, bland, or inconsistent from visit to visit, sometimes with onions missing or the sauce lacking flavor. The fair summary: people who order it as comfort food tend to like it, and people who order it expecting a steak tend not to. Set your expectation before you order, and you will land in the first group.

How to order the Chop Steak well

---

Order it as comfort food, not as a steak. That one mindset shift is the difference between enjoying it and feeling misled.

Don’t ask for it rare. Ground beef is cooked through for food safety. If you want a pink center, switch to the Renegade Sirloin.

Pick sides that balance the plate. The patty is rich and salty, so steamed broccoli, a side salad, or mashed potatoes (if you want full comfort mode) all work. A loaded baked potato on top of it makes a very heavy meal.

Check the price before you order. The range is $11.99–$15.99, with one listing at $16.29. If your location is at the top end, the 6 oz Renegade Sirloin may be close in price and is the better steak.

What to order with the Chop Steak

---

The Chop Steak is already the cheapest beef entrée on the menu, so the plate around it can stay cheap too. This is the budget plate done well.

Sides that balance the plate. Steamed broccoli ($3.49, 90 calories) or a mixed-greens side salad ($4.99) cut through the richness. Mashed potatoes ($3.49) if you want full comfort mode, the pairing diners praise most.

Something to start. Skip a heavy starter, the patty is rich enough. A cup of soup ($6.49, French Onion or Loaded Potato) is the lighter way in.

Something to drink. A draft beer or a soft drink ($2.99–$3.49) fits the comfort-food mood, and the soft drink is the cheapest drink on the menu.

If you have room. The Strawberries & Cream Shortcake ($6.99–$9.79, about 640 calories) is the lightest finish. The Chocolate Stampede ($11.49–$11.99, about 2,460 calories) costs almost as much as the entrée itself, so save it for a night when the budget does not matter.
