Louisiana Now Has The Top Casual Dining Chain in America

This popular steakhouse chain has knocked off Olive Garden to become America's favorite casual dining restaurant. Olive Garden, or as some call it, The OG, has held the title for the past seven consecutive years.

The king of casual dining has a terrific menu that offers something for everyone. They have things like hand-cut steaks, fajitas, ribs, and fresh-baked bread served with its signature cinnamon butter. The butter comment should have given it away, but if you're still wondering who the new casual dining favorite is, it is the Texas Roadhouse.

According to resturantbusinessonline.com,

Texas Roadhouse, the 664-unit steakhouse chain that has been growing rapidly for years, pushed past longtime leader Olive Garden and into the top spot in terms of systemwide sales.

That’s according to the newly released data from Technomic on the Top 500 largest restaurant chains in the U.S.

This achievement marks a significant milestone for Texas Roadhouse, a brand beloved for its hearty meals, vibrant atmosphere, and exceptional service. Known for its Southern-inspired cuisine and welcoming environment, Texas Roadhouse has now claimed the top spot, winning the hearts of diners nationwide.

In Louisiana, Texas Roadhouse operates 13 locations, contributing to the chain’s success in the state. With its combination of great food, outstanding service, and a fun atmosphere, it’s easy to see why Texas Roadhouse has outpaced Olive Garden to become the new number one casual dining destination.
