LongHorn Cowboy Pork Chops Price, Calories & Nutrition (2026)

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

Cowboy Pork Chops are LongHorn’s bone-in pork chops, flame-grilled with the steakhouse’s signature seasoning for a charred, smoky crust. In 2026 they cost $15.29–$20.79 depending on location, with lunch at the low end and dinner at the high end, and a single chop runs about 400 calories. They are the best non-beef, non-chicken option on the menu for diners who want a hearty grilled meat without ordering steak. If you like pork and you like a char crust, this is a strong order. If you want the leanest meat on the menu, chicken or shrimp fits better. Prices vary by location, so every price below is a researched 2026 range, checked October 10, 2026.

Cowboy Pork Chops price (2026)

---

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

Why the range is wide: the lunch and dinner prices sit at opposite ends of this range, so the $5.50 spread is mostly a lunch vs dinner story, not a location story. Lunch is the smart way to try them. At $15.29, the lunch chop costs less than most steak entrées and less than the dinner chop by over $5. Dinner at up to $20.79 still undercuts most of the steak menu, which is part of the appeal: a grilled, bone-in meat dinner at a below-steak price. Full lunch menu with prices →

What are Cowboy Pork Chops?

---

Cowboy Pork Chops are thick, bone-in pork chops rubbed with LongHorn’s signature seasoning blend and flame-grilled, the same open-flame treatment the steaks get. The “cowboy” in the name is about the style: a big, bone-in chop, boldly seasoned, cooked over flame for a charred crust. Three things define them:

1. Bone-in. The bone stays in during grilling. As with bone-in steaks, diners credit the bone with extra flavor and juiciness, and it helps the chop cook more gently.

2. Flame-grilled, not pan-fried. The chop goes over an open flame with the char seasoning, so the outside picks up a smoky crust while the inside stays juicy. This is not a breaded or fried pork chop.

3. Thick cut. These are not thin breakfast chops. They arrive as a full dinner entrée with your choice of side, sized to compete with a steak plate.

They are served with your choice of side. Pork chops carry no gluten ingredients in the plain grilled preparation, but LongHorn kitchens are not allergen-free, so cross-contact is possible. If you have celiac disease or a severe gluten allergy, tell your server and speak to the manager before ordering.

What do the Cowboy Pork Chops taste like?

---

The chops taste like pork cooked the way LongHorn cooks steak: a loud rub, a charred crust, and a juicy middle.

The bone’s job. The bone stays in during grilling. As with bone-in steaks, diners credit the bone with extra flavor and juiciness, and it helps the chop cook more gently.

Pork has changed. Modern pork is leaner than the pork most people grew up with. At about 400 calories with roughly 2 g of carbs and 44 g of protein, a single chop is a middle-weight meal on LongHorn’s menu, lighter than the big steaks and heavier than the grilled shrimp.

A loud rub. The signature seasoning blend is bold and peppery, and the open flame turns it into a smoky crust on the outside. The inside stays juicy because the chop is thick and the bone slows the cooking.

Cowboy Pork Chops 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, and no newer official PDF exists. The figures below are the chops alone (no sides), from third-party nutrition databases.

Sources: FatSecret nutrition database (Cowboy Pork Chops: 400 cal / 25 g fat / 2 g carbs / 44 g protein). Treat all figures as third-party estimates, not official figures. Note: FatSecret also lists a “Lunch Entrées” entry at 680 calories with 87 g protein, which appears to reflect a different portion or listing, not the standard single chop. We use the standard single-serving figure here and flag the conflict honestly rather than picking the bigger number.

What that means in practice: at about 400 calories with roughly 2 g of carbs and 44 g of protein, Cowboy Pork Chops sit in the middle of LongHorn’s menu. Lighter than the big steaks, heavier than the grilled shrimp, and very low carb. They fit a low carb or keto way of eating well on macros alone. Sides decide the final total: steamed broccoli or a side salad keeps the meal near 400–500 calories, while a loaded baked potato or mac & cheese adds several hundred more.

Are Cowboy Pork Chops worth it?

---

Cowboy Pork Chops are the menu’s most underrated grilled meat. They get almost no social media attention compared to the steaks, which means fewer diner verdicts to quote, but the value case is clear on its own: a bone-in, flame-grilled meat dinner for $15.29 at lunch or up to $20.79 at dinner, in a restaurant where most steaks start higher.

Order them when:

You want grilled meat but not beef. This is the best pork option on the menu and the only bone-in pork entrée.

You want a steakhouse experience at a below-steak price. Dinner at up to $20.79 undercuts the Outlaw Ribeye, the T-Bone, and the Porterhouse.

You are eating low carb. Roughly 2 g of carbs with 44 g of protein is a strong macro profile.

You like a char crust. The flame-grilled seasoning crust is the same treatment the steaks get.

Skip them when:

You want the leanest meat available. Grilled chicken or shrimp is lighter.

You want the most talked-about dish. The chops are good, but they are not the dish diners rave about online.

You dislike pork or bone-in cuts. There is no boneless pork chop option on the menu.

The honest takeaway: Cowboy Pork Chops are a smart, quiet order. They will not be the story you tell friends about afterward, but they deliver a proper grilled meat dinner for less money than the steaks, and the lunch price is one of the better deals on the menu.

How to order Cowboy Pork Chops well

---

Order at lunch if you can. Lunch starts at $15.29, over $5 less than the dinner high end, for the same chop.

Do not overcook them. Pork chops dry out fast past medium. Ask your server about doneness and trust the kitchen’s recommendation for a thick bone-in chop.

Pick sides that match your goal. Broccoli or salad keeps the meal light. A loaded baked potato turns it into a full comfort dinner. Both are valid, just choose on purpose.

Try them before defaulting to steak. If you always order beef at LongHorn, the chops are the lowest-risk way to branch out: same grill, same seasoning style, lower price.

Check the menu price before ordering. Because the range runs $15.29–$20.79, the price at your location is the only one that matters, and lunch vs dinner changes it most.

What to order with the chops

---

The chops are a hearty grilled meat, so the plate around them should balance the richness without stealing the show.

Sides that match your goal. Steamed broccoli ($3.49, 90 calories) or a side salad ($4.99) keeps the meal near 400–500 calories. A loaded baked potato or mac & cheese turns it into a full comfort dinner.

Keep the starter light. The chops are already a big, rich entrée, so a heavy starter like the Texas Tonion or the White Cheddar Stuffed Mushrooms doubles down on rich. A lighter starter, or none at all, is the better call.

Something to drink. A draft beer fits the char crust, and beer lists vary by location. A soft drink ($2.99–$3.49) or a frozen margarita ($8.49–$11.49) works too.

The other pork option. If you like pork but want a different style, the Baby Back Ribs ($16.49–$28.79, slow-roasted with sweet and smoky BBQ sauce) are the menu’s other pork entrée.

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) is built for sharing.

Cowboy Pork Chops vs the other grilled meats

---

Price ranges from the project’s price-ranges file, checked 10 Oct 2026.

Pork chops vs Renegade Sirloin: the sirloin is cheaper at lunch and is beef, which most steakhouse diners default to. The chops win when you want something different from beef without paying steak prices. Both are strong value orders.

Pork chops vs Parmesan Crusted Chicken: the chicken is the menu’s cult favorite with a cheesy crust, while the chops are simpler: grilled pork, char seasoning, bone-in. Pick chicken for the crust. Pick chops for a pure grilled meat experience.
