The widely popular steakhouse chain Longhorn Steakhouse will soon be expanding its Central Texas footprint with a Bastrop location, according to a recent filing with the State of Texas. The restaurant will be located at 1653 W SH 71.
Defining their mission statement on the company website, Longhorn Steakhouse states “Making our famous, expertly crafted steaks starts with picking quality cuts and ends where most good things do: on the grill. While some take shortcuts and cut corners, at Longhorn, we do things the right way because that is what great steak deserves — and, more importantly — it’s what you deserve.”
While the chain’s menu is location-dependent, readers and partners can reliably expect a wide range of steak options, grilled shrimp and chicken, salads, baked potatoes, and other classic grilled American fare.
For lighter offerings, the chain serves salads and soups, along with providing a full selection of alcohol which includes beer, wine, margaritas and other cocktails.
Construction records examined by What Now Austin delineate a $2,000,000 construction job spanning nearly 6000 SF of “new construction of a full service restaurant.”
While no opening date has been announced, construction estimates project a February 2026 conclusion.
