Downtown Restaurant Shuts Down--Again

The Longhorn Restaurant has officially closed its doors for the last time, at least under the most recent owners.

The restaurant closed last week due to financial concerns, according to former employee Kim Randles.

“We want to thank all of the customers who came in. We tried. We just couldn’t keep it going,” Randles said.

The Longhorn Restaurant had re-opened in November of last year after being shut down abruptly by then owners Arnie and Louise Jay following a dispute with the city over the pace of repairs to the structure.

A for sale sign is posted on the restaurant’s window.
