The sign has recently gone up in front of the relocated LongHorn Steakhouse in East Cobb: The opening is next Monday, Nov. 20, starting at 3 p.m. for dinner service.
There was no further information available; we’ve left a message seeking comment.
The standalone building at 4370 Roswell Road is on an outparcel at the Merchants Exchange Shopping Center, and it where a BB & T bank branch and originally a Black Eye’d Pea restaurant once stood.
The new restaurant will be roughly the same size as the former Lower Roswell Road location, a little less than 6,000 square feet, according to planning documents submitted with the variance request.
LongHorn had been at 4721 Lower Roswell Road since 1983, and when it marked its 30th anniversary there is 2013, it was the longest-standing original location for the Orlando-based chain.
After opening day, the hours will be the same as the other LongHorn locations: 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday-Thursday and 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday-Saturday. Phone: (770) 977-3045.
Coming Soon: Reunion Kitchen and Bar
Late last year, a new restaurant concept was announced for the former Red Sky Tapas and Bar space at Market Plaza on Johnson Ferry Road.
It was to be called 1255 Social (the number matching the street address) featuring a wood-fire grill and oven and locally- and regionally-sourced dinner fare.
A sign also went up bearing the 1255 Social name. But that sign has since been removed, and when a reader inquired with us about it, Ilene Kapper Oxman, a former East Cobb resident and a partner in the venture, told East Cobb News that “we changed the name to Reunion and opening soon.”
That was in September; now a sign has gone up and a website with some basic information on a forthcoming opening (but no timeline). Here’s the concept, per the website:
“Reunion is a place where locals gather regularly and first-timers are made to feel like regulars. We exist to create positive personalized experiences, in a setting that takes warm & inviting and mixes it with vibrant & fun to create the consistently high-quality food and drinks our neighborhood deserves.”
The menu features the “freshest ingredients, often locally grown/crafted, and reunites them with time-honored cooking techniques that emphasize individual ingredient flavors. Our plates are not architecturally placed lab experiments, but instead simple dishes full of flavor invoking memories of the best meals of our past. Our menu takes its inspiration from classic bistros serving soups, salads, sandwiches, and ‘comfortable’ entrees. The menu is priced to encourage any-day dining while the assortment range inspires special occasion users to stay awhile.”
East Cobb News got in touch with Kapper Oxman—an owner of Harry’s Pizza and Subs in Sandy Springs—and she said she’ll be providing more information soon.

“Reunion is a place where … first-timers are made to feel like regulars.“
Given that there are no regulars yet and they will all be first timers, this seems, uh, logical.
Very happy to try it when it opens.
