LongHorn Keto-Friendly Menu — How I Actually Eat Low-Carb Here
I've done full keto stretches where LongHorn was my weekly "I still get to eat like an adult" restaurant. The formula is boring on purpose: steak + non-starchy veg + sauce on the side. Everything else on the table is optional theater.
Lowest-Carb Steaks & Proteins
| Item | Approx. Carbs | Keto Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Renegade Sirloin | ~1g | Best value keto plate |
| Flo's Filet | ~1–2g | Lean, tender, easy to portion |
| Outlaw Ribeye | ~2–3g | Higher fat — great for keto macros |
| New York Strip | ~2g | Firm bite, still very low carb |
| LongHorn Salmon | ~2–4g* | *Confirm glaze — ask plain grilled |
| Redrock Grilled Shrimp | ~4–8g* | *Seasoning/marinade varies |
| Parmesan Crusted Chicken | ~18g+ | Skip on strict keto |
Sides: Order vs Skip
Order these
- Fresh steamed broccoli
- Fresh steamed asparagus
- Side salad, dressing on the side
- Extra pat of butter on veg (if you want fat)
- Double veg instead of starch (ask)
Skip these
- Seasoned fries & mashed potatoes
- Loaded baked potato & sweet potato
- Rice pilaf & mac & cheese
- Texas Tonion / breaded apps
- Bread basket (just… walk away)
Sauce Warnings (Where Keto Meals Die)
The first time I "ruined" a perfect Renegade night, it wasn't the steak — it was the sticky BBQ-style dip I assumed was savory. Sugar shows up in places that taste peppery, not dessert-y.
- Ask for all sauces on the side — non-negotiable if you're under 20g/day.
- Prefer butter, olive oil, or a verified low-sugar chimichurri.
- Steak sauce, BBQ, sweet chili, and many "house" glazes are carb traps.
- Salad dressings: ranch and blue cheese are usually safer than honey mustard or sweet vinaigrettes — still measure.
Sample Keto Meals I've Ordered
Weeknight Value Plate (~8–10g net)
6 oz Renegade Sirloin, medium, double steamed broccoli, butter on veg, water. Total feels like a real steak dinner without the potato hangover.
Date-Night Keto (~10–12g net)
Flo's Filet 6 oz, asparagus, side salad with oil & vinegar, dry red wine (optional, count it). Skip dessert — share conversation instead of Stampede.
High-Fat Feast (~10g net)
Outlaw Ribeye (share if needed), broccoli, extra butter baste request, sauces on the side. This is the meal that makes keto feel sustainable.

Open Keto / Low-Carb Nutrition Guide →Honest caveat: Carb counts here are based on published nutrition patterns and real ordering experience — kitchens change marinades and prep oils. If you are medical keto (epilepsy, prescribed therapeutic carb limits), confirm with the manager and your clinician. Cross-contact with flour and sugary sauces is always possible in a busy steakhouse.
