Texas Tavern

Texas Tavern This 96-year old 10 stool local landmark is known for its Chile, hamburgers, hotdogs, & Cheesy Westerns.
(2638)

On Feb. 13th, 1930 during the height of the great depression, I.N. "Nick" Bullington opened the 10 stool Texas Tavern and began serving its famous bowls of chile, hamburgers, hotdogs, and cheesy westerns. With a no frills atmosphere and the motto "Give the customer a fair shake" the Texas Tavern has become a landmark and a rite of passage for many locals and visitors alike. Known as "Roanoke's Millionaires Club”,
it is still run by the same family, now in its 4th generation of ownership.

Allen Stone is opening for Chris Stapleton in Charlotte tonight, and he's rocking a Texas Tavern shirt.
Not bad for a place that's been serving 'em up since 1930.
Thanks for representing, Allen! ❤️

Logan Sherrill did an amazing job digging up old footage (from as early as the 1980s) when putting this story together about the Cheesy Western hitting the menu for a limited time at Hamburger America in NYC. Thanks, Logan!
