Drivers along Golden Bear Gateway got a new landmark on Tuesday: a big Texas Roadhouse sign now towers over the Legacy Pointe development near the Costco in Mt. Juliet. For locals who have been hearing about this restaurant for months, the freshly installed sign is the clearest sign yet that the long-discussed steakhouse is moving from blueprint to reality. City officials posted photos of the sign on social media, calling attention to a visible milestone in the exterior work.
Where the sign is located
The new sign sits inside the Legacy Pointe development on Golden Bear Gateway, next to the new Costco and just off Interstate 40, in a spot city leaders and the developer have been eyeing for sit-down dining. According to reporting from Main Street Media of Tennessee, the developer signed a lease for the site and the project later cleared planning review. Local station WSMV previously covered the city's public announcement of the project, and the City of Mt. Juliet has now shared photos and a "coming soon to MJ" note on its Facebook page.
Opening date and address
On Texas Roadhouse's official location page, the Mt. Juliet restaurant is listed at 105 Bear Crossing with an April 6 opening date and a join-waitlist feature for early reservations. The same page includes posted hours and hiring links, a strong hint that the company is actively building its team ahead of the planned spring debut. You can see the listing on Texas Roadhouse.
What this means for Mt. Juliet
When the doors open, this Texas Roadhouse will be the chain's first location in Wilson County, a regional milestone that local coverage has highlighted as Mt. Juliet continues to expand its dining options. City officials have pointed to Legacy Pointe as a future commercial hub, and developer Lineberry has featured the lease and restaurant site in its project materials. The new build is being framed as part of a broader burst of retail and restaurant growth in the area. For more on the broader development push, see reporting from Wilson County Source and project details from Lineberry Developments.
What to watch next
Mt. Juliet planning records show that site plans for the restaurant were approved last fall, and the newly installed sign suggests exterior work is moving steadily toward the finish line. Taken together, the physical signage, the live listing on the company's location page, and the active hiring links all point to Texas Roadhouse gearing up for inspections and staff training ahead of the posted April opening date. Main Street Media of Tennessee has previously detailed the approval process and timeline, and more specifics on a grand-opening celebration are expected once the city or company officially confirms them. We will update when that date is announced.
