Several readers have asked what is being built at the corner of 156th Street and LaGrange Road in Orland Park next to the LongHorn Steakhouse.

A 5,800-square-foot Bonefish Grill seafood restaurant is under construction at 15537 S. LaGrange Road. The project has an estimated cost of $1 million.

Florida-based Bonefish Grill was started in January 2000 and has grown to more than 100 locations in more than a dozen states.

The Orland Park location will be the chain’s fourth in Illinois and the first in the Southland.

Construction is expected to be complete by the end of summer or early fall.

The project is the last outlot in the Lowe’s Home Improvement footprint, and makes for quite a restaurant row with LongHorn, Chick-fil-A, Red Robin Gourmet Burgers and Jersey Mike’s lined up along that stretch of LaGrange.
