Residents saddle up to eat at new Texas Roadhouse
Wayne Battle was enjoying his meal earlier this week at the new Texas Roadhouse off a North Winstead Avenue that has become the scene of increasing business and commercial development. “’Rocky Mount: City on The Rise’ for real this time,” Battle said with a smile moments after he was served steak and a potato. The appetizer he ordered was already dispatched. Battle, who works at the Cummins Rocky Mount Engine Plant, was one of numerous customers who arrived Monday for the mid-afternoon opening for business. That opening occurred after a Rocky Mount Area Chamber of Commerce-led official opening ceremony earlier in the afternoon. Battle, who also watched that official opening, summed up his opinion of the Texas Roadhouse in one word: “Awesome.” “It’s phenomenal,” he added. Texas Roadhouse restaurants offer hand-cut steaks, ribs, made-from-scratch sides, fresh-baked bread and ice-cold beer. The Texas Roadhouse chain is based in Louisville, Ky. Rocky Mount’s Texas Roadhouse has images of country music stars and professional race car drivers adorning the walls alongside images of local places in the Twin Counties. Before opening, the restaurant’s arrival had been about 3½ years in the making. It includes a bar, has 225 employees and an occupancy limit
