Texas Roadhouse Tyler, TX - Dining Add

The Texas Roadhouse at 2101 E SE Loop 323 in Tyler, Texas, completed a 724-square-foot dining room addition in June 2026. The project passed its final TDLR accessibility inspection, confirming that construction is complete. This expansion adds 46 additional dining seats to the existing restaurant, increasing the total dining capacity without altering the original footprint of the structure.

Project Scope and Cost

Roadhouse Enterprises, Inc. filed the project with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) in October 2025. The estimated cost for the addition was $375,000, which calculates to $518 per square foot. This figure is above the Smith County median of $189 per square foot for similar additions to existing buildings, reflecting the specialized nature of restaurant interior work. The scheduled build window was 85 days, significantly shorter than the county median of 183 days for this project type.

GreenbergFarrow served as the design firm of record for the project. The firm has registered six other projects in Texas, totaling $4,260,000 in estimated costs. These include locations in Texarkana, Weslaco, Montgomery, and Tomball, as well as commercial projects in Austin. David C Deming was the registered accessibility specialist responsible for ensuring the new space met state requirements.

Timeline and Status

Construction began in December 2025, following plan review completion in April 2026. Although the initial filing anticipated a March 2026 completion, the project proceeded through its final phases until the inspection was passed in June 2026. The project is privately funded and situated on private land for private use.

The addition is one of 182 TDLR-registered additions to existing buildings in Smith County. While the estimated cost of $375,000 is below the county median of $450,000 for this category, the per-square-foot cost remains higher than the regional average. This efficiency in total cost despite higher unit costs suggests a focused, high-quality execution of the dining expansion.
