Logan's Roadhouse in Goodlettsville, Tennessee.

Logan's Roadhouse is a chain of restaurants that was founded in 1991 in Lexington, Kentucky, United States[1] and in 1999 became a wholly owned subsidiary of the publicly held CBRL Group, Inc (which also owns Cracker Barrel). On December 6, 2006, CBRL Group sold Logan's Roadhouse to affiliates of Bruckmann, Rosser, Sherrill & Co., Canyon Capital Advisors LLC, and Black Canyon Capital LLC for $486 million. In 2010, private equity firm Kelso & Company acquired the company. Its main office is located in Nashville, Tennessee. There are 230 company operated and 26 franchised Logan's Roadhouse locations throughout 23 states and growing.[2]

The chain uses retro style decorations, and provides free buckets of peanuts that come at each table. Some of the Logan's establishments have locality-inspired decor and artwork. For example, Detroit area Logan's have murals of people wearing Detroit Pistons shirts.

On February 20, 2013, Mike Andres, a former McDonald's vice-president and former CEO of Boston Market, replaced Tom Vogel as CEO.

On August 8, 2016, Logan's Roadhouse filed for bankruptcy and announced plans to close 18 of its 256 locations that are underperforming, though did not announce at the time which locations would close. The chain was reported to be struggling with heavy debt and falling sales.[3]

Locations closing in late September 2016, include, in Florida, two in Kissimmee, two in Orlando, and one each in Mary Esther, Tampa, and Tallahassee; one in Macon, Georgia; one in Houston, Texas; and one in Waynesboro, Virginia.[4][5]

The chain's menu includes mesquite-grilled steaks, traditional American fare (sandwiches, soup, salads, and seafood), ice-cold longneck beer, homemade yeast rolls, and unlimited buckets of in-shell peanuts.

Logan's serves appetizers, steak, and hamburgers, and offers side dishes such as salad, french fries, and baked potatoes.
