Vacation Guide

🏖️ Great for Tourists Visiting Destin & Emerald Coast

If you're vacationing on Florida's Emerald Coast, LongHorn Steakhouse on Emerald Coast Pkwy is a premier pick for dinner after a day on the beach:

🛍️ Next to Destin Commons Mall

Insider Secrets

🤫 Insider & Secret Menu Tips for Destin LongHorn

Make the most of your Emerald Coast meal with these regular and server tips:

🧈 Request Garlic Herb Butter on Steaks

Ask your server to add savory herb butter during the final flame sear. It's an unlisted grill secret that adds extraordinary rich juiciness to any cut.

🍟 Split Your Included Side

You can request to split one included entrée side into two half-portions (e.g., half mac & cheese + half crispy Brussels sprouts) at no extra charge.

🥩 Order One Doneness Level Below

Hot steakhouse plates cause carry-over cooking while resting. Order "medium-rare" if you usually like "medium" for a tender center at your table.

🍹 Ask for a Custom "Skinny Margarita"

Ask the bartender to mix a skinny margarita using pure agave nectar and fresh lime juice instead of triple sec syrup — lighter, crisper, and ultra-refreshing on the Gulf Coast!
