New Greek Mediterranean-Style Restaurant Coming to Texarkana

Get ready Texarkana because another restaurant is coming to town soon!

Taziki's Mediterranean Cafe

Finally, after years of the former Steak n' Shake location being vacant on Cowhorn Creek a new Mediterranean-style casual fast food Taziki's restaurant will occupy the building.

According to TXKToday, the owners of Gusano's Pizza will be the proprietors of this new business. I love the fact that Texarkana continues to expand and broaden its palette when it comes to different cultural foods.

Taziki's will be serving Greek and Mediterranean food such as gyros, sandwiches, soups, and salads.

And for those with a hardy appetite chargrilled lamb, grilled salmon, grilled chicken, grilled fish, grilled shrimp, and beef.

Taziki's will also have a menu for vegetarians and offer gluten-free food as well as a nice selection of taste-tempting desserts. See the menu here.

The nearest Taziki locations to Texarkana at the moment include one in Shreveport, LA, and other locations in Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and throughout the United States. In 2022 Taziki's was named the #1 Mediterranean Franchise Entrepreneur Franchise 500.

How it Began

In 1997 Keith Richards, not to be confused with The Rolling Stones band member, Keith Richards and his wife Amy went on vacation to Greece in 1997 and fell in love with the people and the culture. One of the things that stood out the most on their visit was the small Mediterranean cafes where the town folks gathered to celebrate life and a healthier lifestyle. The connection to family and people who lived there was something the Richards wanted to bring back to the States. So, in 1998 the first Taziki's Mediterranean Cafe was born to not only establish a healthier lifestyle but also make a commitment to bringing families together in their community and abroad.

The new Taziki's Mediterranean Cafe is expected to open in late summer of 2024 in Texarkana. For updates, job opportunities, and more information please visit their website and Facebook page.
