According to Longview City Councilman Temple Carpenter III, Chuy's is opening a new location in Longview. Carpenter says the new eatery will be located next to Raising Canes, which is housed at 212 E. Loop 281. It will likely be taking over the location of the old "Red Robin" Burgers which shut down last year after they removed all their signage.
