Texas Roadhouse, a chain restaurant known for its steaks and rolls, has started construction on a new location on US-72 in Athens, according to city officials.

In April, the company unseated Olive Garden as the largest restaurant chain in the nation.

“We can’t wait for the mouthwatering steaks and freshly baked bread rolls to come to Athens!” reads a Facebook post on the city’s official page.

The city has not yet shared a projected opening date or construction timeline.

Texas Roadhouse’s sales in America increased 14.7% in 2024, to $5.5 billion, according to data from the Technomic Top 500 Chain Restaurant Report.

The chain also opened 26 new locations, bringing its current total to 664 restaurants nationwide.

While Olive Garden has more locations, with around 900 restaurants worldwide, Texas Roadhouse is making more money with fewer locations, The Daily Meal reports.
