If you’re scanning the LongHorn Steakhouse menu for a steak that’s big on flavor, juiciness, and classic steakhouse char, the Ribeye (12 oz) is the sweet spot. It’s well-marbled, fire-grilled, and comes with a hand-chopped salad plus a choice of side—so you can keep it light with Steamed Broccoli or go all-in with a Loaded Baked Potato. In this guide, we’ll walk through price, calories, nutrition, allergens, sides, add-ons, cooking temps, pairings, and pro ordering tips
The LongHorn Ribeye* is a 12 oz, well-marbled cut—often described by guests as LongHorn’s most juicy, most flavorful everyday steak. That marbling isn’t just pretty—it melts into the meat during grilling, basting the steak from the inside and building the signature beefy, buttery flavor ribeye lovers crave.
One hand-chopped salad (Mixed Green, Caesar, or Strawberry Salad)
One side (choose from Loaded Baked Potato, Sweet Potato, or Steamed Broccoli—plus optional sides listed below)
Gluten Sensitive note: prepared without gluten-containing ingredients when ordered correctly (see allergen section)
Positioning: This cut sits between the lean Renegade Sirloin and the massive Outlaw Ribeye (20 oz)—making the 12 oz Ribeye a strong pick for guests who want big flavor without committing to a 20-ounce feast.
Editor’s note: Because ribeye is marbled, Medium Rare to Medium lets the fat render properly without drying the steak—delivering that buttery, beefy profile ribeye is known for.

Why estimates? LongHorn doesn’t publish a universal macro panel for every single plate composition online; cuts, trim level, seasoning, and finishing butter can slightly change numbers. Keep the calorie anchor (810) prominent, then present macros as clearly labeled estimates—this reflects transparency and avoids misleading readers.

Flavor Profile & How to Order for Your Taste
Beefy & Buttery: Ribeye’s intramuscular fat renders on the grill, infusing the meat with rich, beef-forward flavor.
Char & Smoke: LongHorn’s fire-grill technique contributes a caramelized crust and light smokiness.
Seasoning: A savory house blend enhances umami without overpowering the steak’s natural flavor.
Order like a pro:
Pick Medium Rare or Medium to let marbling do its thing.
Add a bright, acidic salad (Caesar or Mixed Greens) to balance richness.
Choose one indulgent side (Loaded Baked Potato or Mac & Cheese) or go lighter (Asparagus/Broccoli).
Want more steakhouse butteriness? Ask about finishing butter or a side of butter on the potato only.
Pick the right doneness:Medium Rare–Medium keeps ribeye moist; you’ll savor more with smaller bites.
Balance the plate: Pair with Steamed Broccoli or Asparagus, and choose the Mixed Green Salad with a lighter dressing.
Customize toppings: Ask for no butter finish on the steak or sides if you’re trimming fat.
Swap smart: If you skip croutons and creamy dressings, your salad can be very calorie-friendly.
Split or save: If calories are a concern, split the steak with a friend or save half for later.
