Texas Roadhouse (NASDAQ:TXRH) is a casual dining restaurant chain specializing in hand‐cut steaks, fall‐off‐the‐bone ribs, chicken, seafood and house specialties. Each restaurant features a Western‐themed décor, open kitchens and a signature line dance presentation of fresh, made‐from‐scratch sides and breads. The company emphasizes an energetic dining experience, focusing on hospitality, value and a family‐friendly environment.
The concept was created in 1993 by founder Kent Taylor, who sought to combine high‐quality steaks with an approachable, community‐oriented atmosphere. Texas Roadhouse opened its inaugural location in Clarksville, Indiana, and steadily expanded throughout the 1990s. The company became publicly traded in 2004 under the ticker TXRH on the Nasdaq, enabling further growth through new unit development and franchise partnerships.
Headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, Texas Roadhouse operates more than 600 restaurants across 49 U.S. states and several international markets. Its global presence includes a mix of company‐owned and franchised outlets in regions such as North America, the Middle East and Asia. Leadership is overseen by President and Chief Executive Officer Kevin Countryman, who works closely with the executive team to advance operations, menu innovation and guest satisfaction.
Texas Roadhouse continues to pursue growth through both new restaurant openings and remodels of existing units, while maintaining core values of made‐from‐scratch food, genuine hospitality and community engagement. The company invests in staff training and local outreach programs, positioning itself for sustained expansion in the competitive casual dining sector.
