With Texarkana being so close to bigger cities we get to experience the big city shopping and of course the great restaurants. After our last trip to Dallas, I wondered why do we not have some of these restaurants in Texarkana?Texarkana is a huge dining out town. You can see that every weekend trying to get into some of the restaurants.

Business Insider put together a list of the top 20 chain restaurants, most of which are not in our town. Which one do you want?

1. Joe's Crab Shack. What else do you need to say? With great food for anyone's taste and a dining experience second to none, this restaurant is a must for any seafood lover.

2. Chuys I know we have a lot of Mexican restaurants in this town, but Chuy's is a Texas institution when it comes to great Mexican food and the Texas Martinis are awesome.

3. Cheddars Scratch Kitchen. This Dallas based restaurant brags that all of its dishes are made from scratch. I have heard rumors they might be coming to town soon.

4.P.F. Chang's. Chinese is one of my favorites and P.F. Changs makes some of the best dishes. You will experience your favorites in a whole new way.

5. Jack In The Box. This restaurant is not on the list of Business Insider but I really want one of these here. If they can have on in little Gilmer Texas why can't we get one? I love the Sourdough Cheeseburgers and the curly fries oh my.

What would you add to the list? Let us know in the comments.
