Customers who’ve eaten at the Texas Roadhouse in Taylorsville have been hoping for the restaurant’s expansion for a long time. Now, their wishes have been granted.

The popular restaurant, located at 1904 W 5400 South, has just opened a new section of its dining room, adding nine tables and about 50 seats. The Roadhouse is now 15% larger than before.

“We are responding to our customers’ requests for more seating, which lowers their wait time and allows us to serve them quicker,” said Brad Allen, managing partner. “Our contractor helped make the expansion seamless and we cut the ribbon on the new section on Feb. 5.”

Texas Roadhouse moved from its original location south of 5400 South to its present home in 2018. Allen said that move was made in large part to help with parking, as the Roadhouse now shares a large parking area with a few neighboring businesses. The Taylorsville location is by far the busiest Texas Roadhouse in Utah. Nationally, the brand has 730 locations in 49 states, with the Taylorsville location currently ranked the 37th busiest in the chain.

“The community has been great to support us for so many years,” Allen said. “We have great crews and servers, and I think the secret to our success is the good value we offer customers who dine with us. Our goal is always to give customers the best experience for dining.”

Allen’s team is also very involved in the community. Again this summer, he will sponsor a golf tournament that benefits local law enforcement. They have donated over 140,000 rolls to a local nonprofit program and continuously support civic and youth programs. 

“We really do focus on giving back to the community whenever we can,” he said.

Allen added that a few new menu items will be introduced later this year.

The Roadhouse is open Monday through Thursday from 3 to 10 p.m., Fridays from 3 to 11 p.m., Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Reservations aren’t taken, but the best way to beat the crowd is by calling 801-955-7514 to get on the wait list. 

New tables have been added as part of a 15% expansion to the Texas Roadhouse restaurant in Taylorsville.
