Danbury Fair Mall Filling Vacancies With Restaurants

DANBURY, CT — As the coronavirus pandemic tails out, the Danbury Fair Mall has been quietly filling vacancies.

The most recognizable brand to open recently is Longhorn Steakhouse, located on the south side of the mall near the main entrance.

The Western/Texan themed beef/ribs/chops/chicken chain marked its 40th anniversary last year, and has become a staple in the eastern U.S. and parts of the Midwest, Southwest and Puerto Rico.

"We are seeing a strong demand for in-person experiences from our shoppers, and Danbury Fair has a great selection of dining options for people to come and gather together again," said Maura Ruby, general manager at Danbury Fair.

In addition to Longhorn Steakhouse, Danbury Fair is also home to several recently opened restaurants including Golf Lounge 18, a state-of-the-art golf and dining facility, located on the lower level near the parking garage. The Mediterranean-themed Barbarie’s Grill opened last year and is located on the exterior of the shopping center between Cheesecake Factory and Dick’s Sporting Goods. More casual dining in the form of burger-and-fries chain Shake Shack opened recently next to Longhorn in the new pad development, at the entry to the mall campus.
