TEXAS - For many Cypress residents, the question over the past two years hasn't been if Texas Roadhouse was coming to the neighborhood—it's been when. Now, the wait is officially over. The massively popular American steakhouse chain is set to cut the ribbon and open its doors on June 1, 2026, at its brand-new location at 22020 West Road, Cypress, TX 77433, right near the bustling Grand Parkway corridor.
As the retail footprint around the Grand Parkway continues to explode with new housing communities and businesses, Texas Roadhouse has stood out as one of the area's most highly anticipated additions. Here is what Cypress residents can expect when the doors finally open this June.
The Demand is Finally Met
Historically, if Cy-Fair and Cypress residents wanted their fix of legendary honey cinnamon butter and hand-cut steaks, they had to make the long drive across town to locations in Katy or battle traffic along Highway 290.
Having a dedicated, massive location right on West Road means fewer long commutes and a brand-new local gathering spot. For longtime residents who remember when much of the area around Grand Parkway was still largely undeveloped, this highly requested opening is a prime indicator of just how dramatically Cypress has grown into a major suburban retail hub.
250 New "Roadies" Joining the Community
Beyond just serving up hearty meals, the new Cypress location is providing a significant economic boost to the immediate area. Texas Roadhouse is actively executing a massive hiring push to bring on more than 250 new employees—affectionately known as "Roadies" within the company—ahead of opening day.
The available positions include:
- Servers and Hosts
- Kitchen Staff and Meat Cutters
- Bartenders
- Management and Operational Roles
For local students, families, and job seekers in the Cy-Fair area, this brings hundreds of fast-paced hospitality opportunities much closer to home.
What to Expect on Opening Day
If you've never been to a Texas Roadhouse, or if you're eagerly waiting to visit the new Cypress location, the brand is bringing everything that built its intensely loyal following—along with a few modern upgrades.
The Experience:
- The Classics: The menu will feature the beloved staples that put the brand on the map, including hand-cut steaks, fall-off-the-bone ribs, made-from-scratch sides, and unlimited fresh-baked bread with their signature honey cinnamon butter.
- Modern Upgrades: As part of the company's 2026 system-wide technology upgrades, the Cypress location will utilize the brand's new digital kitchen initiatives. This means faster ticket times, dedicated systems for online to-go orders, and the convenient ability for guests to self-pay at their tables.
- Local Touches: In keeping with Texas Roadhouse tradition, the new restaurant will feature custom, locally inspired murals and décor designed to specifically reflect the Cypress and Cy-Fair community.
The Bottom Line Texas Roadhouse has proven that it is immune to the casual dining struggles hitting other legacy brands in 2026. By leaning into high-quality, high-value meals and a lively, community-centric atmosphere, the brand is thriving. When the doors open at 22020 West Road on June 1, expect packed parking lots, lively country music, and one of the biggest restaurant debuts Cypress has seen in years.
