How to Order LongHorn Online (Without Ruining the Steak)
I've ordered LongHorn to a hotel room after a long drive and I've curbside-picked an Outlaw on a weeknight when cooking felt impossible. The difference between "still great" and "why did I bother" is almost always pickup timing + clear temperature notes.
Step-by-Step
Pick your fulfillment method
Decide: curbside/in-store pickup, delivery via DoorDash/Uber Eats/Grubhub, or a family meal bundle. Pickup almost always tastes better for steaks — less steam-soak in a courier bag.
Open the official order path
Start at our hub — Order LongHorn Online — then jump to your location's ordering page or the delivery app that services your address.
Select your restaurant carefully
LongHorn menus and hours differ by store. I have accidentally ordered from a location 18 minutes farther because the app defaulted to "closest" by bird-flight, not drive time.
Build the meal with special instructions
Add temperature ("medium rare"), sauce on the side, and side swaps in the notes field. If the app truncates notes, call the store after you place the order — yes, really.
Time the pickup window
For fire-grilled steaks, arrive close to the ready time, not 25 minutes early. Sitting in a heat bag murders crust. I aim for the SMS "ready" ping plus a 5-minute buffer.
Reheat leftovers the right way
If you ordered a large Outlaw for two nights, slice cold and sear quickly in a hot pan with butter. Microwave + steak is how good beef becomes sad beef.
Pickup vs Delivery Comparison
| Factor | Pickup / Curbside | App Delivery |
|---|---|---|
| Steak quality | Best | Hit-or-miss |
| Price | Closer to menu | Markup + fees + tip |
| Customization | Easier to confirm | Notes often ignored |
| Convenience | Must drive | Highest |
| Best for | Ribeyes, filets, temp-sensitive orders | Salads, chicken, family bundles |
Practical Tips From Too Many Takeout Bags
- Order sauces and dressings on the side so salads don't wilt and crusts don't sog.
- For Outlaw Ribeye, pickup beats delivery every time I've tested both.
- Add utensils and napkins in the app if you're heading to a park or hotel.
- Check hours before you build a huge cart — grill cutoff times are real.
- Family night? Browse family meals before à-la-carte math spirals.
- Keep a backup side in mind if the app is out of broccoli (it happens).

Go to Order Online Hub →Honest caveat: Third-party apps are not owned by LongHorn. Drivers, markups, and missing sauces are outside the restaurant's full control. If a steak arrives wrong, contact both the app support and the store — I've had faster remakes calling the restaurant directly for pickup orders.
