It all began on February 17, 1993, when after years of dreaming, planning, and hard, hard work, Kent Taylor opened the first Texas Roadhouse in Clarksville, Indiana. Kent’s goal was to own not just a family restaurant and not just a steak restaurant, but a place where everyone, of all ages, could come and have a great meal and great fun for a great price. We’ve got the great meal part down. In fact, we like to consider our food more than great. We think its Legendary. Hand-Cut Steaks, award-winning Fall-Off-The-Bone Ribs, Fresh-Baked Bread, and Made-From-Scratch Sides are the standard at Texas Roadhouse. We're more than just a steakhouse. We're a family restaurant. And, we believe our family is every member of every community that has a Texas Roadhouse. We love being a part of our communities, which is why you're likely to see our Roadies and Andy the Armadillo out and about! Our legendary benefits include: medical, dental and vision insurance, 401(k) retirement plan, short and long-term disability coverage, life insurance, flexible spending accounts, paid vacation, stock incentive program, tuition reimbursement and best of all…GROWTH! We love our workplace, and we love what we do. It’s that love that shows up each and every night to engage, entertain, and excite our guests. And it’s why we’re so happy to invite you to bring your friends and family in for a great meal and a good time! We are proud to be an equal opportunity employer. We are committed to providing equal employment opportunities to all employees and applicants for employment without regard to race, color, religion, age, gender, gender identity, disability, veteran status, sexual orientation, citizenship, national origin, or any other legally-protected status.

Since 1988, Dinosaur Bar-B-Que (Dino BBQ) has been serving up mouth-watering food and serious suds to thousands of hungry diners craving some of the most authentic Southern barbeque and regional craft brews this side of the Mason Dixon Line. Dino BBQ continues to be a recognized leader in the world of barbecue restaurants with a brand that currently includes six locations (New York – Syracuse, Rochester, Hamburg, Troy, Harlem, and Brooklyn). Co-founder and owner John Stage started Dino BBQ by feeding bikers at various events and festivals along the East Coast and has built his operation as a nationally known brand, which includes a catering division, a line of BBQ sauces and rubs and a successful cookbook, Dinosaur Bar-B-Que: An American Roadhouse (Ten Speed Press; 2001). Stage’s menus are firmly rooted in the traditions of southern barbecue and influenced by flavors that give Dino BBQ’s dishes their own distinctive character. “That’s one of the secrets of great barbecue,” says Stage, “staying committed to tradition, but finding your own stamp and signature.”
