Temecula's LongHorn Steakhouse Opening Date Announced

TEMECULA, CA —The sign is up and the paint is on. Temecula's LongHorn Steakhouse, under construction for many months on Rancho California Road and Ynez Road, is slated to open on April 18, 2023, according to the corporate website.

The new restaurant has taken shape over the torn-down Marie Callender's Restaurant at 29363 Rancho California Road on the southwest corner of Ynez Road, near the Embassy Suites hotel. In addition to a menu of beef, freshly baked bread, chopped salads, desserts and other dishes, the 5,708-square-foot casual-dining eatery will offer beer, wine and cocktails.

The new restaurant will feature an outdoor patio and will be open from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. seven days a week.

LongHorn Steakhouse sits across the street from the existing Black Angus Steakhouse, located at 27737 Ynez Road. During a November 2021 Planning Commission meeting, city staff informed the commissioners that the city has no control over the type of food a permitted restaurant serves.

There is no access to the restaurant off Rancho California Road. Instead, patrons who visit by vehicle will have to use a side street off Ynez Road.

LongHorn Steakhouse is a chain owned and operated by Florida-based Darden Restaurants Inc. The company also owns Olive Garden and Yard House, among many others.

According to the company, there are approximately 500 LongHorn Steakhouse locations across the nation, but only one is currently open in California (Rancho Cucamonga).
