Brownsburg is pressing ahead with plans for a new Texas Roadhouse on a parcel tucked behind the Brownsburg Village Center, just south of Interstate 74 and east of North Green Street. The single-story restaurant is slated for a fast-growing retail corridor that town officials say has been pulling in fresh commercial development, and the proposal is queued up for a Brownsburg Advisory Plan Commission review later this spring. The project has already kicked up familiar questions about traffic and parking in one of the town's busiest stretches.
Officials hail momentum as plan advances
Town leaders say Texas Roadhouse selected the site after conducting its own analysis, and they argue the project would help widen local dining options. Economic development director Ben Lacey called the proposal "another example of the strong momentum we’re seeing in Brownsburg’s commercial areas" and said projects like this expand dining options and support local jobs, as reported by WTHR. In other words, town hall sees the steakhouse as one more sign the corridor is heating up.
Site plan and building size
A ConstructConnect project listing lays out design plans for a 4,590-square-foot, one-story restaurant with related paving, sidewalk work and parking, and pegs the estimated construction value at about $2.3 million. The listing does not include a specific street address but describes the work as a new Brownsburg restaurant project that tracks with the town's description of the parcel behind the Village Center. ConstructConnect published the listing in February 2026.
Where it would sit and why traffic is top of mind
The site is in the Northfield/Green Street retail corridor just off I-74, an area brokers describe as high-visibility frontage that has attracted recent retail interest. A commercial listing for the nearby Northfield Crossing points to heavy vehicle counts along I-74 and Green Street, underscoring why access and circulation will be central to any approval. Residents are already sounding off about congestion in public comments to the town: "We need restaurants we can relax at, not fast food, and in places that make sense‑ not the most congested place in town like where the Texas Roadhouse is going in," according to the Town of Brownsburg's public comment summary. The surrounding development context is also outlined in local listings on LoopNet and in town documents.
Next steps
The Advisory Plan Commission is expected to take up the development proposal later this spring. If the commission recommends the plan, the project would shift into permitting and site-preparation phases. Town staff say traffic mitigation, access points and stormwater controls will be scrutinized during that review, and public hearings will give nearby residents and businesses a formal chance to weigh in.
