LongHorn Secret Menu — 12 Off-Menu Orders That Actually Work
Kitchens that say yes almost always understand clear combinations, not cryptic TikTok names. Below are 12 off-menu builds using items already on the menu, with sample wording.
The 12 Off-Menu Items (With Ordering Scripts)
Treat these as a toolkit. Some nights the order is steak and broccoli. Other nights it is a specific combination. The "code" is being specific and polite.
Surf & Turf Build
"Can I add the Redrock Grilled Shrimp to my Renegade Sirloin as a combo?"
A common lunch add-on. The kitchen usually quotes an add-on price (often about $8–10). It lands as a surf-and-turf without hunting a special.
Flo's Oscar-Style
"Can Flo's Filet come Oscar-style — crab and hollandaise on top?"
Not every kitchen stocks lump crab the same way. When they say yes, ask for hollandaise on the side so the filet crust stays crisp.
Pittsburgh Char
"Pittsburgh style — charred hard outside, rare inside."
Works best on thicker cuts like the Outlaw Ribeye. Quieter suburban kitchens sometimes decline this request. Call ahead if this is non-negotiable.
Butter-Baste Upgrade
"Can the grill cook finish my steak with a butter baste?"
Especially useful on well-done orders. The baste keeps leaner cuts like Renegade from tasting dry.
Parmesan Crust Swap
"Can I get the Parmesan crust from the chicken on my salmon (or sirloin)?"
The six-cheese crust travels well to salmon. On steak it is rich — a common choice when skipping dessert.
Protein-Style Burger
"Half-Pound Burger, no bun — lettuce wrap if you can."
Kitchen usually wraps it in leaf lettuce. Ask for pickles and tomato on the side so the wrap doesn't sog out in the bag.
Loaded Potato Entrée Bowl
"Can I get a loaded baked potato as my entrée with a side salad?"
More of a late-night move. Some locations ring it as a side + salad; others just shrug and make it happen.
Double Broccoli / Skip Starch
"Two steamed broccoli, no potato — and extra seasoning on the steak."
A common keto plate. Extra seasoning is usually free and keeps the plate from feeling like diet food.
Kids Sirloin, Adult Plate
"Can I order the Kids Sirloin with an adult side and salad?"
Hit-or-miss by manager. When it works, you get a ~4 oz steak for under $10 — perfect for lighter appetites. Never argue if they say no.
Sauce Flight
"Can I get steak sauce, chimichurri, and peppercorn on the side?"
Asking for three ramekins helps compare sauces on the Outlaw. Many locations accommodate this request.
Stampede Split Kit
"Chocolate Stampede with two plates and extra whipped cream."
They already know it's shareable. Extra plates make the table look intentional instead of awkward mid-date spoon wars.
Happy Hour App + Dinner Steak
"We'll start with the happy hour appetizer special, then order entrees after."
Not printed as a secret — just sequencing. Order the deal first while the clock still says happy hour, then lock in steaks.
Quick Comparison: Reliability vs Wow Factor
| Item | How Often It Works | Best When… |
|---|---|---|
| Surf & Turf Build | Nearly always | Lunch or dinner, any busy night |
| Double Broccoli | Always | Keto / low-carb visits |
| Butter Baste | Usually | Well-done or lean cuts |
| Parmesan Crust Swap | Often | Salmon nights |
| Pittsburgh Char | Sometimes | Thick ribeyes, experienced grill cooks |
| Oscar-Style Filet | Least reliable | Locations with crab prep available |
How to order without awkwardness
- Lead with the base menu item first — never open with "Do you have a secret menu?"
- Name the temperature and sides in the same breath so the server can ring it cleanly.
- If they hesitate, offer a fallback: "No worries — just the regular Outlaw Ribeye is fine."
- For takeout, write the build in special instructions and confirm at the curb when you pick up.
- Tip like someone who just asked for extra work. (Because you did.)
A reliable off-menu dinner
Flo's Filet 6 oz, medium-rare, butter baste, steamed broccoli twice, sauce flight on the side, and a shared Chocolate Stampede if the table is celebrating. It costs more than a Renegade night, but it is a clearer plate than defaulting to the biggest bone-in cut every visit.
Honest caveat: Nothing on this page is an official LongHorn corporate menu. Ingredient availability changes by franchise and by night. Oscar-style and Pittsburgh char are the requests most often declined — and that is normal. Treat these as requests, not entitlements.
