McKerrow was a former manager at Quinn's Mill Restaurant, a subsidiary of Victoria Station, a San Francisco-based concept with railroad cars used as dining areas that was popular in the United States during the 1970s and '80s.

The first location, originally called LongHorn Steaks Restaurant & Saloon, opened on Peachtree Street in Atlanta, Georgia on August 10, 1981.

[citation needed] In January 1982, a sudden snow storm that became known as SnowJam 82 trapped the area's commuter population within the city limits, and McKerrow offered $1 drinks and menu specials to the stranded motorists.

Each restaurant is decorated with oil paintings, photos, and selected Western memorabilia that support this theme.

The restaurant offers a full bar with draft and bottled beer, wine, and several signature margaritas.
