LongHorn Steakhouse was founded in 1981 in Atlanta, Georgia, by George McKerrow Jr., starting as a small neighborhood steakhouse with a western-themed ambiance. Known for its bold flavors and quality cuts, LongHorn steadily expanded throughout the Southeast and was acquired in 2007 by Darden Restaurants, Inc., the parent company of Olive Garden and other major full-service brands. Since then, LongHorn has become one of the top-performing brands in Darden’s portfolio.
