If you've been waiting on a Texas Roadhouse here, there's movement. Minneapolis developer TOLD Development has filed plans for an 11,000-square-foot restaurant and bar at 1550 and 1560 Interlachen Drive, near Highway 14 and Victory Drive. The city's Site Plan and Traffic Advisory Review Committee is scheduled to review them Tuesday, Nov. 3.
The proposed restaurant would cover about 11,000 square feet

| Floor area | |
|---|---|
| The proposed restaurant | 11,000 sq. ft. |
| A football field | 57,600 sq. ft. (end zones included) |
| A basketball court | 4,700 sq. ft. (NBA size) |
Don't book a table yet. This is only the first step, and the filings don't mention a construction schedule or opening date. A developer's 2010 plans for an IHOP here never went anywhere. The chain has Minnesota locations in four Twin Cities suburbs, Rochester, Duluth and the St. Cloud area.
- Parking: 196 spots, with two driveways off Interlachen Drive
- Exterior: fiber cement siding, brick, shutters and a metal roof
- Zoning: highway business, where a restaurant is a permitted use
- Also requested: vacating an easement between the two lots
Texas Roadhouse is still growing
- $5.9 billion
- in combined annual sales across its three brands
- 48
- restaurants added to its company-owned base in 2025
- 35
- company restaurant openings expected in 2026
