Bensalem’s texas roadhouse marks 20 years of community service and support

Bensalem, PA — A local favorite reached a major milestone this week as Texas Roadhouse in Bensalem celebrated its 20th anniversary of serving the community. The celebration brought together township officials, police officers, firefighters, and EMS personnel to recognize two decades of good food, great service, and strong community partnership.

Mayor Joe DiGirolamo, joined by members of the Bensalem Township Police Department, attended the anniversary event to honor the restaurant’s commitment to both its customers and first responders.

“We would like to extend our sincere appreciation to Norm Patten, Managing Partner and Brand Ambassador, for his continued support,” township officials said. “Norm and the Texas Roadhouse team have been longstanding supporters of the Bensalem Township Police Department, as well as Bensalem Fire and Bensalem EMS services, and have become a valued and integral part of the Bensalem community.”

Since opening its doors in 2006, the Bensalem Texas Roadhouse has been a staple for residents looking for classic American dining in a family-friendly atmosphere. Beyond serving meals, the restaurant has built a reputation for community involvement — sponsoring local events, supporting charitable causes, and providing meals and donations for public safety departments throughout the years.

Mayor DiGirolamo praised the restaurant’s dedication to community service, noting that Texas Roadhouse has become more than just a dining establishment — it’s a neighbor that consistently gives back.

“On behalf of everyone in the township,” officials added, “we congratulate Texas Roadhouse on 20 years of service and success and look forward to many more years to come.”

The anniversary celebration served as both a thank-you to longtime patrons and a reminder of how local businesses play a key role in strengthening community bonds.

As Bensalem continues to grow, residents say they’re grateful that Texas Roadhouse remains a constant presence — still serving its signature steaks, rolls, and hospitality, all while supporting those who keep the township safe.
