History of Longhorn Steakhouse
If you’re a fan of Longhorn Steakhouse, then you’ll definitely want to check out this brief restaurant history and founding story. The restaurant started up in 1981 by George McKerrow Jr. and his father in Atlanta, Georgia. McKerrow previously managed a restaurant with a railroad theme, using train cars as seating areas. This theme did not carry over to Longhorn Steakhouse, where most of the decorations involved hanging steer heads and along with other western style décor. The first restaurant was actually called Longhorn Steaks Restaurant & Saloon and replaced an antique store that previously occupied the location. One winter, a heavy snowstorm hit the city causing commuters to be trapped within the city’s limits. McKerrow offered $1 drinks and menu specials to stranded commuters. You might say that without that snowstorm Longhorn Steakhouse would not have grown as widely popular as it is today. Now, there are over 400 locations across the U.S. and Puerto Rico.
