From The Trussville Tribune staff reports
TRUSSVILLE –According to recent reports, Logan’s Roadhouse Inc., a Nashville-based casual dining chain with 234 restaurants, is heading into Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization.
Costar.com reported that the parent company is seeking to have the bankruptcy court reject leases on 21 of its restaurants, about 10% of its eateries. The Trussville location at the Pinnacle did not appear on that list.
A recent visit to the restaurant by a Trussville Tribune staff member found the dining room fully occupied and about a 20 minute wait for a table.
Costar reported that last year, the Logan Roadhouse chain posted net revenues of over $606.4 million but an unaudited EBITDA loss of $112 million. As of this week, the chain had outstanding debt of about $416 million.
In the first half of 2016, the chain experienced an 8.77% drop in customer traffic and a 3.95% decrease in restaurant sales, according to the report.

Given how terrible it is, that is frankly amazing.
Nick Denard
What a shame. It would be nice to see a restaurant with decent service move into that location.
Miranda Edgil
They need to close the Leeds/Moody location. Horrible and rude customer service, the food is never correct and always cold.
Justin Mcculley
That’s a shocker that one and Leeds/moody one needs to go.
Elliott Stamps
It amazes me that people still eat there.
Teresa Cox Chapple

Why do people eat in chain restaurants when local owned restaurants are available?

The need to close it. It’s horrible. Also need to close the Trussville Pizza Hut. That’s got to be one of the nastiest places in town. We go all the way to moody when we want pizza Hutt because that one is so nasty.

I’m usually sad to see a local business close. This is one that I’m embarrassed to say is in Trussville. Their health score is repeatedly low. No excuse for that.

Because many of the locally owned restaurants are over priced, have limited menus or don’t offer the atmosphere some are looking for in a dinning experience. For me price points and level of food and service go hand in hand. If I can feed my whole family for 40.00, I just expect clean, and good food. Nothing else. If I’m
Paying 20.00 a person, I expect clean table clothes, linen napkins, top shelf servers and a nice quiet dinning room.

I stopped going to the Trussville Pizza Hut, due to their customers.

Terry Ponder, I support mom and pop stores, but a chain restaurant still supports the area. The workers live in the area.

Logan’s need to close everyone of them. Moody Sucks
Greg Brannan
There are cleaner summertime ballpark portable toilets than the restroom at that Pizza Hut.

I go to the one in Crestwood if I want Logan’s. Trussville’s location is TERRIBLE! I’m amazed it’s staying open.

Chuck Biddinger I keep seeing people post that but I’m not sure what restaurants you have been eating in but I am fairly certain if you were to survey all the chain resturants in the area less than 5% of staff live in 35173. Just sayin…
Sharon Gould
I have never had a decent meal there. It would not be a loss if it closed.
Kraig Barner

I would not be surprised if back low again next time. Still that’s on the bubble. Anything below 90 is not good.
Brian Wells
They suck

It was so bad for so long that I contacted headquarters and asked them to do something. So long that I along with others I’m sure will not return.
John Martin
Too bad. I would love for it to close and Texas Roadhouse take that location.
