LongHorn Steakhouse doesn't publish a secret menu — but that hasn't stopped devoted fans from discovering some genuinely incredible combinations by mixing and matching items from the standard LongHorn menu. Here are the top secret menu hacks that real LongHorn regulars swear by in 2026.
1. Outlaw Surf-n-Turf (The Ultimate Upgrade)
How to Order: Ask for the Outlaw Ribeye and add a Redrock Grilled Shrimp topper.
LongHorn offers seafood add-ons for their steaks, but they're not always prominently featured. The Redrock Grilled Shrimp — seasoned with their Redrock spice blend — sits perfectly on top of that massive bone-in ribeye. The briny sweetness of the shrimp contrasts beautifully with the rich, fatty ribeye. Expect to pay around $8–10 extra for the shrimp addition.
2. Filet & Lobster Remix
How to Order: Order Flo's Filet (9 oz) and add a Lobster Tail on the side.
LongHorn's Flo's Filet is already buttery perfection, but adding a lobster tail transforms it into a fine-dining experience at a casual price. This is LongHorn's most luxurious off-menu pairing and a showstopper for special occasions. Ask your server about current lobster tail pricing — it varies by season.
3. Parmesan Crusted Ribeye
How to Order: Order any ribeye and ask for the Parmesan crust topping from the Parmesan Crusted Chicken.
The Parmesan crust — that addictive mix of Parmesan, Provolone, and ranch — can be applied to a steak at most locations. The kitchen will broil the crust right on top of your fire-grilled ribeye for a flavor combination that sounds simple but is absolutely transcendent.
4. The Texas Tonion Burger
How to Order: Order the Steakhouse Cheeseburger and ask to add Texas Tonion petals on top.
The Texas Tonion is normally an appetizer — a blooming onion with crispy, golden petals. But those petals, piled on top of the half-pound steakhouse cheeseburger, create a crunch-factor and sweetness that makes this one of the best burgers you've never seen on a menu.
5. The Loaded Prairie Salad
How to Order: Start with the Farm Fresh Field Greens salad and ask to add sliced steak, shrimp, and a side of the Parmesan dressing.
LongHorn's salads are good on their own, but adding premium proteins transforms them into a genuinely impressive meal. The key is the combination of steak slices + Redrock shrimp + the rich Parmesan dressing — it's a steakhouse salad worth writing home about. Great for those using our nutrition calculator to balance their macros.
6. Double Chocolate Stampede Hack
How to Order: Order the Chocolate Stampede and ask for a side of hot fudge AND caramel to double the sauce.
The Chocolate Stampede is already LongHorn's most indulgent dessert. But asking for extra hot fudge and a side of caramel sauce turns it into an absolute masterpiece of excess. Perfect for a table of 4–6 sharing the experience. Fair warning: one order has approximately 2,460 calories — split responsibly.
