“The reception has been nothing short of amazing,” said Texas Roadhouse Marketing Coach Candice Gomez.

“We are big on community outreach and have been able to partner with many local businesses, sports venues, and schools. We love our locals, and they love us.”

Gomez said that National City was chosen because the “beautiful city if full of culture.”

“You have many different ethnicities, races, and economic backgrounds. We are excited to be a part of this amazing city and bring some great steak to its people,” she said.

Gomez said what differentiates Texas Roadhouse from other steak houses is first, its customer service.

“We have an amazing story of hand-cut steaks, fall-off-the bone ribs, fresh-baked bread, ice-cold beers, and legendary margaritas.

Oh, and the line dancing doesn’t hurt,” she said.

“When you think Texas Roadhouse, you think made-from-scratch and you think fun.”
