Texas Roadhouse reopens
ASHEVILLE – The Texas Roadhouse restaurant on Hendersonville Road has reopened for business following work to fix damage from a roof fire.
"We opened last night at 4 o'clock," general manager Chad Noble said Friday afternoon. "We did pretty decent business considering that Hillary Clinton was in town at 8."
Noble credits his management team for the quick recovery, including kitchen manager Scott Lucas, service manager Christie Traxler, assistant service manager Tanya Buchanan and marketing manager Ashley Obey.
The group "came together as a team and helped me out and directed the troops," Noble said, "and we got this thing back together. We could have been closed two to three weeks."
The restaurant blaze April 17 ignited in a hood system used for ventilation, said Carlo Marzella, a battalion chief for Asheville Fire and Rescue.
The popular restaurant, at 230 Hendersonville Road, is open for dinner starting at 4 p.m. Monday-Thursday and for lunch Friday-Sunday.
