History[edit | edit source]

LongHorn Steakhouse was founded in 1981 by George McKerrow, Jr. and his father. The first restaurant was opened on Peachtree Street in Atlanta, Georgia. Initially, the restaurant struggled to attract customers, but it gained popularity after a snowstorm in 1982 brought in stranded motorists who were impressed by the food and service. This event marked the beginning of the restaurant's success.

In 2007, LongHorn Steakhouse was acquired by Darden Restaurants, Inc., which helped expand the brand significantly. As of 2023, there are over 500 LongHorn Steakhouse locations across the United States.
