Texas-style steakhouse sets opening date
Texas Roadhouse restaurants has set an opening date of Oct. 13 for its new location at 2600 Col. Glenn Highway, near the Mall at Fairfield Commons and Wright State University.
The Fairborn restaurant will be Texas Roadhouse’s 20th location in Ohio. The Louisville, Ky.-based chain operates 309 restaurants in 44 states, including restaurants in Huber Heights, Springfield and Hamilton. It specializes in hand-cut steaks and ribs, and hires a meat cutter for every restaurant, Texas Roadhouse spokesman Travis Doster said.
The 7,000-square-foot Fairborn restaurant will seat about 240. It is hiring staff, and will have about 150 employees, Doster said.
Texas Roadhouse restaurants are dinner-only during the week and are open for both lunch and dinner on Saturday and Sunday.
