LongHorn Steakhouse announced the groundbreaking of its first restaurant in Nebraska. Best known for its atmosphere and flavor of the American West, the new LongHorn will be located at 3040 S. 143rd Plaza in Omaha. LongHorn anticipates that the new restaurant will open in November 2011 and will begin seeking job applicants in October 2011.

The chain, which operates more than 350 restaurants and employs 18,000 people, expects to hire team members from the surrounding area. The 6,200-square foot restaurant will employ up to 85 team members and seat more than 240 guests.

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.
