1993
IT ALL STARTED ON A NAPKIN
On February 17, 1993, Kent Taylor opened the first Texas Roadhouse in
Clarksville, Indiana. Kent’s goal was to create a restaurant where everyone,
of all ages, could have fun and enjoy made-from-scratch food.
1999
MANAGING PARTNER OF THE YEAR
Kent named Gina Tobin the first Managing Partner of the Year in 1999. Recognition remains a key part of our culture today. Roadies are recognized and rewarded for their hard work, acts of service with heart, and results. As a company, top performers from both the restaurants and the Support Center are celebrated at events throughout the year.
2004

We are proud of the Profit Sharing Program we have in place for Managers and Support Center Roadies.

TEXAS ROADHOUSE OPENS FIRST INTERNATIONAL LOCATION
On August 29, 2011, we opened Texas Roadhouse in Dubai Mall through our partnership with Alshaya, our Middle East franchisee. We made a few slight changes, like swapping pork bacon for beef bacon and adding a few more options for lunch, but we stuck to the basics of Legendary Food, Legendary Service.®
