On February 17, 1993, Kent Taylor opened a restaurant in Clarksville, Indiana called Texas Roadhouse, working off the cocktail napkin on which he’d drawn his original vision and rough blueprints. More than 30 years later, the restaurant has become famous for their hand-cut steaks, chicken dinners, and homemade southern-style food—the fresh-baked bread rolls and honey-cinnamon butter have a cult-following of their own.

The original Texas Roadhouse has spread, too: there are now more than 500 locations in the US, as well as multiple restaurants in foreign countries. The famous chain has even line danced their way into the state of Washington, with the latest restaurant (their fifth in the state) opening right here in Bellingham in early October of last year. So mosey on down to get yourself that fall- off-the-bone ribs or that juicy prime rib from our new, local world-renowned restaurant.
