Texas Roadhouse is a full-service, casual dining concept known for its steaks, fall-off-the-bone ribs and comfortable, down-home atmosphere. The menu also features an assortment of ribs, chicken, salads, hamburgers, vegetables and all-you-can-eat peanuts. Entrée prices range from $7.99 to $19.99, and the majority of the selections include two made-from-scratch side items.

The new restaurant will employ a staff of 200 and seat 300 guests. Starting Monday, November 16, those interested in employment can stop by Caribou Coffee across the street from the restaurant Monday through Friday 10:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. The following week, applications will be accepted in the restaurant 10:00 a.m. - 8:00 p.m.
