Cheddar's

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen is building a new full-service restaurant at 27659 Tomball Pkwy in Tomball, Texas. The project, filed with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) as Cheddar's - Tomball, TX, involves the construction of a 5,864 sq ft facility. The estimated cost for this new build is $3,500,000, which works out to $597 per square foot.

The scope of work includes the restaurant structure, a dumpster enclosure, parking lot, landscaping, and all necessary utilities. GMRI, Inc. is the owner of record, while DP3 Architectects serves as the design firm. Marc S Frame is the registered accessibility specialist for this project.

Project Timeline and Status

TDLR completed plan review in November 2025. Construction was scheduled to begin in January 2026, with a planned completion date of August 2026. However, TDLR has not yet recorded a final inspection, so the current state of the site is not confirmed in the public record. The scheduled build window of 200 days is close to the Harris County median of 219 days for similar new construction filings.

This project is part of a broader trend of commercial development in the region. GMRI, Inc. has one other TDLR-registered project in Tomball, an Olive Garden, also valued at $3,500,000. DP3 Architectects has designed two other Cheddar's locations in Texas, including one in Katy and one in Temple. Local coverage from My Neighborhood News has reported that Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen is coming to Tomball, highlighting the addition to the local dining scene.

The area around the new restaurant includes several existing businesses, such as Hobby Lobby, Walmart Supercenter, and Comfort Suites Tomball Medical Center. According to U.S. Census estimates for ZIP code 77377, the population is about 39,154, with a median household income of $123,015. The housing stock is predominantly owner-occupied, with a median home value of $352,000.
