RagingWine reviewed LongHorn Steakhouse – Wichita West’s wine list and gave it The Lazy List — RagingWine’s Vibe-Check rating. How RagingWine reviews wine lists →
Wingman Metrics
You open the menu and the wine section is exactly what you feared: a laminated insert with five varietals and a sangria. It's the same list you'll find at every LongHorn from Wichita to Wilmington, which tells you everything about how much thought went into this one specifically. This is wine as an afterthought, a checkbox next to the cocktail section.
The list runs about 20-30 bottles deep on a good day, almost certainly California-heavy with zero adventurous choices — no regions worth noting, no producers worth naming, nothing that would make a wine-curious person lean forward. What you get is Cabernet, Merlot, Pinot Noir, and Chardonnay: the Mount Rushmore of safe chain-restaurant picks. There are no grower Champagnes lurking in a back corner, no stray Malbec, no anything that suggests someone with a palate touched this list. It exists to make wine drinkers feel accommodated, not actually served.
Eight to twelve by-the-glass options cover the core varietals, and at $8.29–$9.49 a pour, you're paying mid-tier prices for wines that almost certainly came off a tanker truck. The sangria options — Blazing Berry and White Peach — are the most honest things on the drinks menu: they're not pretending to be wine, they're just fun. If you need a glass of red with your Outlaw Ribeye and aren't feeling precious about it, the Cabernet will do its job without complaint.
Cabernet Sauvignon (by the glass) — $8.29
At the low end of the glass-pour pricing, it's at least priced closer to its actual worth than the rest of the list. Not a revelation, but it won't embarrass you next to a ribeye.
White Peach Sangria
Hear us out: it's a wine-based drink, it's not trying to be Burgundy, and on a warm Kansas evening it's a perfectly honest call. Sometimes the most honest option is the best one.
Pinot Noir (by the glass)
Pinot Noir at a chain steakhouse is almost never worth it — the varietal demands careful sourcing and temperature control, and neither is happening here. You'll get something thin and vaguely fruity that will make you sad about Pinot Noir generally.
Cabernet Sauvignon (by the glass) + Outlaw Ribeye
It's the least wrong pairing on a list of limited options. A ribeye wants tannin and some weight; the house Cab at least gestures in that direction, and sometimes that's all you're working with.
The Bottom Line
LongHorn does exactly what it was built to do with steak; the wine list is purely functional and priced a touch high for what it delivers. Order the cocktail, drink the sangria, or bring a bottle if corkage allows — because the list itself isn't the reason anyone drives to Maize Road.
· Wichita · American
Dave & Buster's Wichita is not a wine destination — and the list makes no attempt to pretend otherwise. Fourteen labels of grocery-store standbys, no pricing transparency, and a venue where the primary business is flashing screens and redemption tickets means the wine program is essentially decorative. Order the cocktail, feed the machine, save the bottle for literally anywhere else.

Meddys West is here for the food, and the wine list knows it. If you're looking for something to wash down your meal without drama, the $8 glass is fine — just don't come here expecting the wine to be the point.

Sheet's Creek is a reliable pour in a landlocked city — nothing here will surprise a seasoned wine drinker, but it won't embarrass you either. Send your friends if they like California reds and don't want to think too hard about it.

First Mile Kitchen's wine list exists to check a box, not to enhance your meal. The pricing is honest and a few bottles are quietly decent, but if wine is important to your night out, you'll want to eat somewhere with more than eight options.

Revolutsia / North Downtown · Wichita · German
Prost isn't a wine destination — it's a biergarten that respects its theme enough to put a coherent German wine list on the table. The Thirsty Thursday bottle deal is legitimately good, and if you show up on the right night with the right dish, you'll leave happier than you expected.

The Belmont is a perfectly fine place to drink wine in Wichita — the Tuesday half-price bottle deal legitimately rescues the steep markups and makes it worth a visit. Just arrive with low expectations for discovery and high expectations for a good time.

Jacks is a genuinely fun neighborhood hang with solid food, but the wine program doesn't match the ambition of the kitchen. If wine is your thing, call ahead or bring your own if corkage is an option — otherwise, lean into the cocktails and enjoy the patio. We'd love to revisit this rating if they ever put some real thought into the list.

East Point · Atlanta · Steakhouse
Malone's earns its loyal following on the strength of its pork chops and tenderloin, not its wine list. If wine matters to your meal, you may want to call ahead and ask what's available — or just lean into a cocktail and let the steak do the heavy lifting. This one's a food-first destination.

· Acworth · Steakhouse
AG Steakhouse earns its reputation as a go-to for celebrations and big nights out on Lake Acworth — but the wine program appears to be in service of the experience rather than a destination in itself. If you're splurging on the filet or the Oscar-style halibut, budget accordingly for the bottle too, and don't expect the list to surprise you. A solid place to drink wine; not a reason to come specifically for wine.
