Bellingham might be 2,000 miles away from Dallas, but a slice of the Southwest is coming to Whatcom County nonetheless. A Texas Roadhouse restaurant will open in the Meridian Neighborhood this October, bringing 220 new jobs to the city, according to a press release.
The Southwestern-style eatery will be located at 4331 Meridian St., the site of the former Billy McHale’s Restaurant. Construction of a new, 8,000-square-foot building is still in progress, though the restaurant is hiring for all positions.
The Louisville, Kentucky-based chain was established in 1993 and is known for hand-cut steaks, ribs, burgers and down-home, American cuisine. The Bellingham location joins the ranks of more than 600 Texas Roadhouses in 49 U.S. states.

Once open, projected hours are 4–10 p.m. Monday–Thursday; 4–11 p.m. Friday (dinner only); 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Saturday; and 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday (lunch and dinner). Info: texasroadhouse.com.
