LongHorn Steakhouse, the American restaurant known for its boldly seasoned, expertly grilled steaks, is set to open its first location in the Philippines this March at Streetscape, Shangri-La Plaza Mall.
The brand, which originated in Atlanta in 1981, has grown to more than 590 locations worldwide. It is recognized for its commitment to quality cuts, proprietary seasonings, and signature grilling techniques. Among its best-known offerings are:
- Outlaw Ribeye – A bone-in, well-marbled, fire-grilled steak known for its juiciness and rich flavor.
- Flo’s Filet – A center-cut filet seasoned with LongHorn’s signature blend.
- New York Strip – A thick-cut, fire-grilled steakhouse staple.
- Fire-Grilled T-Bone – A combination of strip steak flavor with filet tenderness.
Beyond steak, the menu features fall-off-the-bone baby back ribs, Parmesan-crusted chicken, bourbon-marinated grilled salmon, and hand-breaded chicken tenders. Guests can also choose from fresh salads, appetizers, signature sides, and desserts, including the Chocolate Stampede. A selection of margaritas, handcrafted cocktails, wines, and draft beers will be available from the full bar.
The restaurant’s entry into the Philippines is made possible by The Bistro Group, which operates 26 local and international brands with 225 stores nationwide. The company has continuously expanded its portfolio over the past 30 years, introducing a variety of dining concepts.
“As we pursue our business growth objective of vigorously opening new concepts, we express our enthusiasm over the forthcoming launch of LongHorn Steakhouse this March,” said Jean Paul Manuud, The Bistro Group president. “Their unrelenting passion and uncompromising standards when it comes to high-quality steaks and dishes resonate with Bistro’s unparalleled dedication to offering the best to our customers. While some take shortcuts and cut corners, at LongHorn, they do things the right way because that is what great steak deserves and, more important, it's what their guests deserve. Together, we can create an impact on the local market, which we believe is ripe for LongHorn Steakhouse.”
Brad Smith, president of Darden Franchising, also expressed confidence in the brand’s local debut. “We are thrilled to expand our relationship with The Bistro Group through the opening of LongHorn Steakhouse here in the Philippines,” he said. “We know that Filipinos will love LongHorn’s boldly seasoned and expertly grilled steaks paired with delicious sides and refreshing beverages.”
LongHorn Steakhouse is part of Darden Restaurants, Inc., the Orlando-based group that also owns brands such as Olive Garden and The Capital Grille.
The opening at Shangri-La Plaza marks LongHorn’s expansion into the Philippine market, bringing its signature approach to steak preparation to local diners.
