LongHorn opens doors in Spring Hill

Spring Hill residents could have gone to Zaxby’s for lunch and LongHorn Steakhouse for dinner on Monday, and attended two grand openings.

At 4 p.m. LongHorn, after holding a lasso-cutting ceremony and dedication from Mayor Rick Graham, opened its doors for dinner for the first time in its grand opening. Zaxby’s, on Port Royal Road, held its grand opening earlier in the day.

“It was very nice welcoming LongHorn to Spring Hill,” Graham said. “They add another great choice to our wide selection of dining opportunities, so people don’t have to drive as far, which reduces our traffic. I predict they will be quite successful in Spring Hill.”

The steakhouse will be open 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday.

Located at 2040 Crossing Circle Drive, LongHorn will be led by Dago Melendez as managing partner.

Members of Spring Hill’s city government as well as hungry customers were there.

Kayce Williams, the city’s economic development coordinator and former alderman, was one of the first inside.

Additionally, the newest newly-opened Spring Hill restaurant is hiring for all positions, including servers, bartenders, line cooks and more. Interested applicants can go here or apply in person.

The restaurant will create 50 to 60 jobs in Spring Hill. It seats 200.

In the area, LongHorn operates locations on Old Hickory Boulevard near Brentwood, on Murfreesboro Pike in Nashville, and on Medical Center Parkway in Murfreesboro.
