A new LongHorn Steakhouse could be headed to Washington Township, part of a proposed 20-acre development at the busy intersection of Cross Keys Road and the Black Horse Pike. If approved, the proposal would add a LongHorn Steakhouse to Washington Township.
The plans have been highlighted by South Jersey development outlet 42Freeway. According to WhatNow, the development could carry the name “The Corner at Cross Keys” and is expected to include a Starbucks and a Flagship Carwash in addition to the steakhouse. The project remains in its early stages, and no official opening timeline has been announced for the LongHorn location.
Why This Corner Makes Sense for a National Chain
The site sits at a junction in Washington Township. Its visibility could make the corner appealing for drive-by retail, and it helps explain why Washington Township — the most populous municipality in Gloucester County, with an estimated population topping 49,000 according to the U.S. Census Bureau — continues to attract national dining brands.
Residents wanting more detail on the proposal may look for updates from the Washington Township Planning Board.

WhatNow notes that LongHorn Steakhouse serves steaks along with sides and desserts. The chain also has a Deptford location.

The proposal would bring a national steakhouse brand to Washington Township.
For now, key details remain unsettled: the exact timeline for a Washington Township Planning Board hearing on the project and specifics on how site plans would manage traffic flow at the Cross Keys Road and Black Horse Pike intersection have not been announced. The project remains in its early stages, and no official opening date for LongHorn has been set.
