The wine list arrives tucked inside the main menu, which tells you everything you need to know about its ambitions. It's not trying to impress anyone — it's trying to not embarrass anyone. For a chain steakhouse in West Fargo, that's honestly a reasonable goal.
The list runs 30-50 bottles deep and leans hard into California and Washington State, which is the safe, predictable move for a room full of people who came for the Outlaw Ribeye. You'll find recognizable names like Beringer, Kendall-Jackson, and Chateau Ste. Michelle doing the heavy lifting — solid producers with broad appeal but zero surprise factor. There's no old world presence to speak of, no natural wine curiosity, no small producers taking up shelf space. It's a list built for consensus, not conversation.
Ten to fifteen options by the glass in the $8–$14 range keeps things accessible, and the pricing is fair enough that you won't feel punished for ordering a second pour. The selection mirrors the bottle list — familiar, California-forward, and aimed squarely at the person who wants a red wine with their steak and doesn't want to think too hard about it.
Chateau Ste. Michelle Riesling — $9
Washington Riesling at chain pricing is a genuine win. Ste. Michelle does this grape better than almost anyone at this price point, and it's consistently underordered at steakhouses — meaning it's usually fresh and well-handled.
Chateau Ste. Michelle Riesling
Nobody in a steakhouse orders Riesling, and that's a shame. It cuts through richness, handles spice, and at this price it's one of the most reliable glasses on the list. The people ordering Chardonnay with their salmon don't know what they're missing.
Kendall-Jackson Vintner's Reserve Chardonnay
KJ Chardonnay is fine — it's just also available at every grocery store in America for $13. Paying restaurant markup on something this ubiquitous and this oaky is a hard sell when better options are sitting right next to it on the list.
Beringer Knights Valley Cabernet Sauvignon + Outlaw Ribeye
Knights Valley Cab has the structure and dark fruit to stand up to a big, charred ribeye without getting swallowed by it. It's the most serious wine on this list, and the Outlaw is the most serious steak — they deserve each other.
✔️ The Bottom Line
LongHorn West Fargo isn't a wine destination, and it's not trying to be — but the pricing is fair, the by-the-glass range is workable, and you won't be stuck drinking bad wine with a good steak. Send a friend here for the ribeye; just remind them to skip the KJ and order the Cab.
