What Is on the LongHorn Steakhouse Kids Menu?

The LongHorn steakhouse kids menu is a short, focused lineup made for children ages 12 and under. It keeps ordering simple with kid friendly favorites like tenders and mac and cheese, plus two things that set it apart from most chains: a grilled cheese for the pickiest eaters and a genuine Kid's Sirloin steak for the ones ready to try the real thing. For every category in one place, see the full longhorn menu.

Servers can often accommodate an older child who just wants a smaller portion, so it is worth asking if that fits your table.

03

Kids Sides & Drinks

Each meal comes with a side and a drink at no extra charge.

🍟
Seasoned Steakhouse Fries

The default side for most kids' meals.

🥦
Fresh Steamed Broccoli

A lighter, balanced pick.

🥔
Mashed Potatoes

Classic and comforting.

🍎
Fresh Cut Fruit Cup

A sweet, healthy swap for fries.

🥛
1% White or Chocolate Milk

Included at no extra charge.

🧃
Apple Juice, Lemonade & Soda

100% apple juice, Minute Maid lemonade, or fountain sodas with free refills.

The broccoli and fruit cup are handy if you want to balance out the meal.
04

Does LongHorn Serve Real Steak on the Kids Menu?

Yes, and this is the question that sets the menu apart.

The Real Deal
🥩 Kid's Sirloin — $9.99
~260 calories · cooked medium or well done

A genuine sirloin steak, hand cut and fire grilled by the same kitchen that cooks the adult cuts, just in a smaller portion sized for a child. It comes with a side and a drink like every other kids meal.

For a child who wants to order what mom or dad is having, this is a real steak rather than a novelty, which is a big part of why families choose LongHorn over chains that only offer nuggets and pasta.

05

Kids Menu With Prices and Pictures

A lot of parents look for the kids menu with prices and pictures before a visit, usually to let a child pick ahead of time and avoid a long decision at the table. The most reliable place to see accurate photos with your local pricing is the official LongHorn Steakhouse app and website, where each item appears with its own image. Evening options are covered on the longhorn dinner menu.

Third party guides give you a general feel, but only the official channels are tied to your specific restaurant's real prices, and LongHorn does not publish one universal printable file because pricing changes by location.

06

Is the LongHorn Kids Menu Good Value?

For a sit down steakhouse, the LongHorn steakhouse kids menu holds up well on value. Most items land around $7, and even the Kid's Sirloin comes in under $10, with a side and a drink included in every price. That bundled side and drink is the key, since plenty of restaurants charge separately for both.

Reviewers and parents generally agree the portions are right sized for children, so you are not paying for food that gets left on the plate. Pair a kids meal with the free honey wheat bread that comes to every table, and a child can eat well here without pushing up the bill much.

07

Healthy & Allergen-Friendly Kids Options

A LongHorn kids meal can be as light or as indulgent as you want it to be.

Lighter Picks for Kids

The Grilled Chicken Tenders at about 240 calories and the Kid's Sirloin at about 260 are the leanest mains, and pairing either with the Fresh Steamed Broccoli or the Fresh Cut Fruit Cup keeps the whole plate balanced. Swapping a fountain soda for milk, apple juice, or lemonade is an easy adjustment too. Midday deals are listed on the longhorn lunch menu.

Gluten-Sensitive & Dairy Notes

The breaded tenders and the grilled cheese contain gluten and dairy, while a plain grilled sirloin or grilled chicken with steamed broccoli is a more gluten sensitive friendly plate. Cross contact is always possible in a shared kitchen, so tell your server about any allergy and ask them to check preparation. LongHorn publishes full nutrition and allergen information for parents who need to plan around a specific need.

08

Kids Menu Hours & Availability

The kids menu is available during all regular restaurant hours, which at most locations run from 11:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and until 11:00 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.

Unlike the lunch specials, which end at 3:00 p.m., the LongHorn steakhouse kids menu does not have a cutoff time, so it is on offer at both lunch and dinner. Hours can vary slightly by location, so a quick check before a late visit is smart. For something sweet afterwards, check the longhorn dessert menu.

09

Kids Eat Free & Family Deals

This is worth being straight about. LongHorn does not run a standing, chain wide kids eat free program. Over the years individual locations and short seasonal promotions have offered a free kids meal with an adult entree, and deals like that have surfaced through the email club or local events, but they come and go and are not guaranteed at every restaurant.

The dependable way to save on a family visit is to join the eClub and Darden Rewards for current offers and a birthday reward, and to watch for holiday or back to school promotions. If a kids eat free deal is running near you, it will show up through those channels or your local restaurant, so it is always worth a quick check rather than assuming it is available.
