A new restaurant called Derby City Roadhouse could open next week in this space formerly home to City Café on the Baxter Avenue side of Mid City mall, technically 1250 Bardstown Road.
Owner-operator Chris Harris, who also owns and runs the Southern Table Bar & Grill in Shelbyville, Ky., originally envisioned a more upscale restaurant in the space, but decided at the last minute to change his concept.
“I was originally going to do a wine bar with things like small plates and flatbreads,” said Harris. “But I decided instead to make it a typical roadhouse with a focus on things like steaks and fried foods, pretty much what you expect.”
