FAQs
1. Is the Macaroni & Cheese at Longhorn made from scratch?
The Kid’s Menu version is the official Kraft brand Macaroni & Cheese. For an “elevated” or scratch-made option, adults often prefer the Steakhouse Mac & Cheese, which features cavatappi pasta and a four-cheese sauce with bacon.
2. Can I order Kraft Mac & Cheese as an adult?
Yes, most locations will allow adults to order from the Kid’s Menu, though the portion size is designed for children.
3. Is the Kraft Mac & Cheese vegetarian?
Yes, this dish does not contain meat products. However, it does contain dairy and processed enzymes.
4. Does it come with any toppings like breadcrumbs or bacon?
The Kraft version is served plain and creamy to cater to children’s preferences. Toppings like bacon or extra cheese are generally reserved for the premium Steakhouse Mac side dish.
5. Can I get a gluten-free version of the Mac & Cheese?
Currently, Longhorn Steakhouse does not offer a gluten-free Mac & Cheese option. The noodles are wheat-based.
