Now you can stop asking me when Texas Roadhouse opens in Benton! As of 4 p.m. Monday July 17th, 2017, they are officially open for supper!
Below are some pictures I got during a preview and tour of the restaurant by the folks running it – Kevin and Monica Smith. They are in the middle of the first photo. They moved from Texas to Saline County a couple of years ago because they knew they’d be starting this restaurant, but they’ve been with the company for years. What else did I learn about this restaurant today? Keep reading!
This makes 582 locations of Texas Roadhouse. They have signature drinks, you can pick your own cut of steak, they make their own dressings, they have a big wall of military veterans who are Saline County residents, AND Texas Roadhouse actually began in Indiana. Monica says they strive to not only have excellent food but to back it up with excellent service as well. The staff all participates in a big cheer before the day begins. Benton Chamber members came to welcome them to the Chamber and in the process, they taught us the cheer. See video of that below. Welcome this restaurant to our family of businesses in Saline County.
