CARROLLTON, Ga. — A new steakhouse is headed to Carrollton as Texas Roadhouse plans to open a location in the west Georgia city, expanding dining options and bringing new jobs to the area.
City officials confirmed that Texas Roadhouse, the Kentucky-based restaurant chain known for its hand-cut steaks and made-from-scratch sides, is developing a site in Carrollton. Construction timelines and a projected opening date are expected to be announced as permitting and site preparation move forward.
The restaurant will be located in Carrollton, the county seat of Carroll County, an area that has experienced steady commercial growth in recent years. Local leaders said the addition reflects continued retail and restaurant expansion along key commercial corridors.
Texas Roadhouse operates more than 600 locations nationwide and is known for its casual dining atmosphere. The company typically hires more than 150 employees per location, including servers, kitchen staff and management positions.
City and economic development officials said the new restaurant is expected to generate jobs and increase local sales tax revenue, while also providing another sit-down dining option for residents and visitors. Carrollton is home to the University of West Georgia and serves as a regional hub for surrounding communities, creating demand for additional restaurant offerings.
Community members have long expressed interest in attracting nationally recognized dining brands, and officials said the project signals confidence in Carrollton’s economic climate.
The development is also expected to increase traffic to nearby businesses, creating potential spillover benefits for adjacent retail establishments.
More details regarding groundbreaking and hiring events are expected in the coming months.
