LongHorn Steakhouse Customer Orders Every Single Steak off the Menu. There’s a Clear Winner

LongHorn Steakhouse fans love the chain for its steaks, which the restaurant describes as fresh, never frozen, custom-trimmed, and seasoned with its in-house blends.

Food reviewer Max Oswald took it upon himself to find the absolute best the restaurant has to offer.

In a video food review, which has garnered over 184,200 views, content creator Max Oswald (@maxreviews) orders every steak off the menu and ranks them one by one to find the best option.

What’s The Best LongHorn Steakhouse Steak?

“All right, we’re here at Longhorn Steakhouse with another high steak situation,” Oswald says, starting off strong with a pun.

He says he ordered every steak LongHorn offers, all rare.

“We’re gonna try them all,” he says. “We’re gonna rank them. We’re gonna tell you what’s best.”

First up is the sirloin, which he calls “regular” and “budget.”

Even then, the food reviewer is immediately impressed. He points to LongHorn’s seasoning blend and says the steak might already have another chain beat.

“Dare I say it’s better than Texas Roadhouse?” he says. “It might be. Wow.”

Next, he tries the chopped steak, which comes with mushrooms, onions, and gravy. That one also wins him over fast.

“That is incredible,” he says. “Unpopular opinion: This is better than Texas Roadhouse’s version of this.”

From there, Oswald moves on to the filet. He says it does not look especially promising at first, but the cook surprises him.

“Wow, it’s very good,” he says. “Super tender. Totally an ascending order, this is the best one yet.”

The Ranking Keeps Getting Better

The New York strip comes next, and while it is not as rare as he wanted, Oswald still likes the flavor.

“Whatever the seasoning blend is, chef’s kiss, amazing,” he says. “Wow, this is delicious.”

Once again, it takes the top spot.

“This is definitely the best one yet again,” he says.

Then comes the boneless ribeye, which appears much closer to the temperature he wanted.

“Nice and rare… wow,” he says while showing the steak to the camera. “Look at that. nice and juicy.”

The seasoning again becomes a major selling point.

“Whatever the seasoning is that they got is so dialed in, man,” he says. “Put some on a shoe, and I would eat it.”

After that, Oswald tries the T-bone, which he explains includes part of the strip and part of the filet.

He likes both sides. “These juices and seasonings, unbelievable,” he says.

The T-bone also moves into first place.

“Again, it’s the best of both worlds,” he says. “T-bone seems kind of like trashy cause normally you get that with like steak and eggs or whatever in a diner, but this version is absolutely unbelievable.”

The Outlaw Ribeye Takes The Win

Then, Oswald gets to the Outlaw Ribeye, which is LongHorn’s bone-in ribeye. “Which I guess what makes it illegal is the fact that it has a bone,” he jokes.

This one changes the whole ranking. As he cuts into it, the food reviewer says it is more tender and easier to cut than the Texas Roadhouse version he tried.

“I hate to talk that sh– about Texas Roadhouse cause I love them,” he says. “But, I mean, I gotta call like it is.”

Then he tries it. “This is so savory and unctuous,” he says. “Every chew, it’s just taking me to a place.”

At that point, he has one steak left: LongHorn’s porterhouse-style option, which he thought might end up winning. But after tasting the Outlaw Ribeye, he says the top spot may already be settled.

“This is the perfect steak experience,” Oswald says. “I think there’s nowhere to go from here.”

He loves that one, too, especially the richness from the butter pooled on top.

“That steak is so rich it’s hiding its investments in an offshore account,” he jokes.

But even that does not beat the Outlaw Ribeye.

“Gotta give No. 1 to the Outlaw rib-eye,” he says. “Absolutely have to.”

He ends by saying LongHorn should sponsor him and then makes one more comparison.

“I think it might be better than Texas Roadhouse,” he says. “Don’t tell them I said that.”

Commenters Agreed With The Pick

In the comments, several LongHorn fans said the Outlaw Ribeye deserved the win.

“Agree with you. The Outlaw Ribeye is tremendous,” one commenter wrote. “I’ve never had a bad experience at Longhorn, can’t say the same for Texas Roadhouse. The steaks are not comparable.”

Another viewer shared their preferred version.

“Medium Outlaw ribeye parm crusted is my fav,” they wrote.

Not everyone focused on the ranking, though. One commenter questioned what happened to all the food after the review.

“I can’t IMAGINE how much food was wasted for this…” they wrote.

Oswald replied, “I promise nothing is wasted.”

Another viewer said they used to prefer LongHorn until they learned Texas Roadhouse cuts its steaks in-house daily. They also claimed LongHorn’s steaks are frozen.

However, LongHorn says on its own website that its steaks are “always fresh, never frozen” and custom-trimmed.

Other Reviewers Also Love The Outlaw Ribeye

Oswald is not alone in putting the Outlaw Ribeye at the top.

In an Eat This, Not That! taste test of every LongHorn steak, writer Chris Shott also ranked the Outlaw Ribeye No. 1. He noted that the bone-in ribeye was nearly as substantial as the porterhouse, but came in cheaper during his visit.

Taste-wise, he called it the “absolute juiciest, most tender steak on the menu.”

Chowhound reached the same conclusion in its own LongHorn steak ranking. The site also put the Outlaw Ribeye in first place, praising its marbling, seasoning, tenderness, and value. According to that review, the seasoning gave the steak enough salt to bring out the meat’s flavor without burying it.

Reddit steak fans have backed it up, too.

In one r/steak thread about the Outlaw Ribeye, one user called it the “Hands down best deal in restaurant steak.”
