LongHorn Steakhouse (founded 1981 in Atlanta Georgia by George McKerrow Jr. as a single Texas-themed steakhouse, acquired by Darden Restaurants in 2007 for $1.4 billion as part of Darden’s RARE Hospitality acquisition) is a casual-dining steakhouse chain with about 570 US locations across 36 states, sister chain to Olive Garden and the other Darden Restaurants brands like Yard House (NYSE: DRI), and known for hand-cut steaks fresh-cut in-house by expert butchers and signature wood-fired grilling.

The questions readers actually ask: what time does LongHorn Steakhouse open today, when do they close, are they open Sunday or for lunch every day, are they open on Christmas and Thanksgiving and Easter, how Eternal Rewards loyalty works, and where the nearest LongHorn is located.

Two LongHorn Steakhouse specific things worth knowing: most locations run 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM Monday through Thursday and Sunday with extended Fri-Sat hours to 11:00 PM (LongHorn serves lunch every day, similar to Outback Steakhouse but a contrast with Texas Roadhouse which is dinner-only Mon-Thu). Both Christmas Day and Thanksgiving Day are closed chain-wide (matching the Darden corporate policy across all Darden brands; one of the few major casual-dining steakhouse chains to close BOTH Thanksgiving and Christmas).

Is LongHorn open on Thanksgiving?

No. All LongHorn Steakhouse locations are closed Thanksgiving Day chain-wide (one of the few major casual-dining steakhouse chains to close BOTH Thanksgiving and Christmas; the Darden corporate policy applies to all Darden brands).

What is the difference between LongHorn and Outback Steakhouse?

Both are casual-dining steakhouse chains in similar price tiers but they have different parent companies and editorial themes. LongHorn Steakhouse is owned by Darden Restaurants (NYSE: DRI; sister to Olive Garden, Capital Grille, Yard House, Cheddar's, and others) and uses a Texas-themed brand identity with longhorn-skull branding and a hand-cut-steak signature. Outback Steakhouse is owned by Bloomin' Brands (NASDAQ: BLMN; sister to Carrabba's Italian Grill, Bonefish Grill, and Fleming's) and uses an Australian-outback theme with the Bloomin' Onion signature. Holiday closure differs significantly: LongHorn is closed BOTH Thanksgiving and Christmas; Outback is closed Christmas only and stays open Thanksgiving with a holiday menu.

What is Eternal Rewards?

Eternal Rewards is the free LongHorn Steakhouse customer loyalty program (the program name was previously branded as separate Olive Garden / LongHorn loyalty programs but now operates as a unified Darden Rewards program at participating Darden brands). Members earn points on every purchase that convert to dollar-off rewards, plus weekly personalized digital coupons, exclusive sale prices, and birthday rewards. Sign-up is free at any LongHorn or at longhornsteakhouse.com. The same Darden loyalty account works at Olive Garden, Yard House, Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen, and most other Darden Restaurants brands.

Does LongHorn take reservations?

Yes, at most locations. LongHorn Steakhouse locations participate in OpenTable reservation booking through the OpenTable website, the OpenTable app, or directly through longhornsteakhouse.com and the LongHorn mobile app. Walk-ins are also welcome; expect 30 to 60 minute waits Friday and Saturday evenings at most locations and longer waits on Mother's Day, Father's Day, Valentine's Day, and Easter Sunday. Reservations are strongly recommended for parties of 5 or more, for Christmas Eve dinner, and for Easter Sunday dinner.

What is the LongHorn customer service phone number?

LongHorn Steakhouse customer service is the unified Darden Guest Relations line at 1-800-331-2729 (the same Guest Relations number serves all Darden Restaurants brands including LongHorn, Olive Garden, Capital Grille, Yard House, Cheddar's, and others).
