On almost every weekend of the year, you'll find a waiting area filled with hungry customers when visiting the Longhorn Steakhouse near the Maine Mall in South Portland. It has been one of the most popular restaurants in the area for more than a decade.

But that string of success came to a halt at the end of March when a portion of the ceiling collapsed during a busy weekend dinner service. Thankfully, there were no serious injuries from the collapse. However, the restaurant immediately closed with no timetable on when it would return.
