LongHorn Steakhouse today announced the opening of its new location in Toledo, Ohio. The restaurant, best known for its atmosphere and flavor of the American West, is located at 4155 Talmadge Rd. As part of its pre-opening training period, the restaurant recently hosted a Friends and Family night which helped raise more than $2,000 for the Boys and Girls Club of Toledo.
The 6,380-square foot restaurant will employ more than 85 team members and seat approximately 200 guests. David Leidheiser, a restaurant industry veteran of more than 20 years, will serve as managing partner.
“LongHorn Steakhouse is a proud member of the Toledo community and we are excited to open our second location in the area,” said Leidheiser. “We look forward to helping our guests relax and unwind in an inviting atmosphere while savoring a great steakhouse meal served with genuine Western hospitality. We’re also pleased we could help support the Boys and Girls Club of Toledo and look forward to making more contributions to the local community for many years to come.”
LongHorn opened its first restaurant in Atlanta 29 years ago and has grown steadily – becoming known for its passion for grilling fresh, never frozen, steaks served in a relaxed, comfortable steakhouse atmosphere. LongHorn is known for more than its signature hand-seasoned Flo’s Filet and the bone-in Outlaw Ribeye. LongHorn chefs love to grill fresh fish and chicken in addition to steak. Items such as LongHorn Salmon, a fresh, hand-cut salmon fillet seasoned with a bourbon marinade; fall-off-the-bone tender Baby Back Ribs; and Parmesan Crusted Chicken, two juicy chicken breasts grilled and topped with a parmesan cheese and garlic crust, are just some of the other specialties guests will find on the menu.
The restaurant opens daily at 11 a.m. for lunch. It is open until 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and until 11 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.
More than 25 years after opening its first restaurant in Atlanta, today LongHorn Steakhouse operates more than 340 restaurants in 33 states. LongHorn is a division of Darden Restaurants, Inc. (NYSE: DRI), the world’s largest full-service restaurant operating company. For more information about LongHorn, please visit www.longhornsteakhouse.com.
