The 7,000-square-foot restaurant, at 8817 State Line Road, can seat around 280 people inside. It also will have a 24-seat patio scheduled to open in spring 2018.
Menu items will include hickory burgers, Gulf Coast fish sandwich, kale salad, chicken fried steak, shrimp scampi, barbecue baby back ribs and slow-roasted prime rib, along with a daily soup special – from Monday’s spicy bean to Sunday’s chicken and kale.
