28th September 2026 | by the Investment Grade Team

in

This page tracks every LongHorn Steakhouse net lease property observed for sale in the United States, refreshed automatically from listing broker materials, checks the tenant against the investment grade threshold, and walks through how to evaluate one before you make an offer. If you want the corporate credit story, the LongHorn Steakhouse credit rating and cap rate profile covers it. This page is about the inventory: what is on the market, what it is asking, how the pricing breaks down by term, state and lease type, and how a buyer, especially a 1031 exchange buyer, should work through it.

LongHorn Steakhouse is investment grade. LongHorn Steakhouse is not rated on its own; its parent company, Darden Restaurants, Inc., carries long-term ratings of BBB (Stable outlook) from S&P Global Ratings, Baa2 (Stable outlook) from Moody’s and BBB (Stable outlook) from Fitch Ratings, which places it in investment grade territory (BBB‑/Baa3 or higher). Whether that credit stands behind a specific lease depends on the guarantor named in the lease. Ratings checked September 27, 2026. Ratings change; confirm before relying on any figure here. See the LongHorn Steakhouse credit rating and NNN cap rate profile and the investment grade credit tenant ratings table.

What You Are Actually Buying

LongHorn Steakhouse restaurants are owned and operated by Darden subsidiaries such as GMRI, Inc., not franchisees, so leases generally carry Darden corporate credit. Confirm the signing entity and any parent guaranty in the lease itself.

The median building in the current inventory is 5,780 square feet on a freestanding pad with a full parking field. Darden’s current LongHorn prototype is about 5,800 square feet with 180 seats, and Darden budgets new LongHorns on land-only ground leases. Corporate-signed restaurant leases price tighter than franchisee leases because the obligor is the brand itself rather than an operator.

Across the current inventory, roughly 71% of listings with a reported build year were delivered in the last four years, and about 0% are marketed as NN, NN+ or simply Net, which usually means the landlord retains roof and structure and sometimes parking and HVAC. Read the lease rather than the brochure headline. If the rating framework behind investment grade tenancy is unfamiliar, the investment grade guide explains it.

How to read the pricing

The spread inside the LongHorn Steakhouse inventory runs from 4.95% to 6.00%, against a median of 5.50%, and almost all of it is explained by three variables. First, remaining term, which the term table above prices directly. Second, geography, which the state table below shows. Third, lease structure and real estate quality: absolute NNN, fee simple and strong access trade at the tight end, while NN, ground lease and secondary access trade wider. When a listing sits far outside the band its term and state would predict, there is usually a reason in the lease, and it is worth finding before you write the offer rather than after.

Where LongHorn Steakhouse NNN Properties Are For Sale

Current inventory spans 12 states. State-level cap rate differences of 50 to 100 basis points are normal and reflect state income tax, population growth and buyer competition more than anything about the tenant.

LongHorn Steakhouse as a 1031 Exchange Replacement Property

The median asking price in the current LongHorn Steakhouse inventory is $3.45M, and about 52% of listings fall in the middle of the market between 1.5 and 3.5 million dollars. Whether that fits an exchange depends on the equity coming out of the relinquished property and on the debt you need to replace.

  • Identify from the live list, not a stale one. Listings move. Identify two or three specific properties under the three-property rule and keep a backup that is realistically still available.
  • Debt replacement is the trap. If the relinquished property carried a mortgage, you must replace that debt or add cash to fully defer gain. Where lender pricing sits above the asking cap rate, financed acquisitions run negative leverage.
  • Term should match your hold. If you plan to hold through the next exchange or pass the asset to heirs, prioritize term and options over 25 basis points of cap rate.
  • Close-ability matters more than price. A clean estoppel, a current lease and no pending relocation are worth paying for on a 45-day clock.

For identification mechanics, timelines and the NNN, DST and UPREIT alternatives, see the 1031 exchange into investment grade property guide.

LongHorn Steakhouse NNN Due Diligence Checklist

These are the items that change the value of a LongHorn Steakhouse listing and are rarely resolved by the marketing brochure.

  • Lease signatory. Confirm the obligor is the corporate entity and not an operating subsidiary with thin assets or a franchisee.
  • Term, options and escalations. Verify the exact remaining term, the escalation schedule and whether options renew at fixed or market rent.
  • Ground lease versus fee simple. Restaurant pads are frequently ground leased, which changes depreciation, financing and residual value.
  • Reciprocal easement restrictions. On outparcels, review the REA for use restrictions, parking ratios, and any prohibition on drive-thru or signage changes.

How Investment Grade Works With LongHorn Steakhouse Buyers

Investment Grade Income Property, LP is a licensed commercial real estate brokerage providing national advisory on acquisitions and dispositions of net lease property, with Broker of Record co-listing partnerships in all 50 states. On a LongHorn Steakhouse acquisition we screen the live inventory against your criteria, pull the lease abstract behind any listing you want to pursue, benchmark the asking cap rate against the distribution above, and negotiate on your side of the table through closing. On most transactions there is no separate fee to the buyer because compensation is paid from the transaction by the listing side. Where that is not the case we disclose it in writing before you engage.

Owners of existing LongHorn Steakhouse properties can use this page as a valuation benchmark. If you are weighing a sale, an off market disposition to a qualified 1031 buyer often closes faster and with less retrading than a broad marketing process.
