Fuddruckers would do well, but they have gone downhill as far as little things like buns. They aren't as good as they use to be, and I refuse to believe they are using the same size meat patty as they use to. I'm sure its a money saving deal. Fatz might do OK, but theres already OCharleys, Applebees, and Ruby Tuesdays. Of those I do prefer Fatz. Texas Roadhouse is one Ive heard as coming to Martins. Pizza places seem to do OK, but, IMO pizza is pizza.
Texas Roadhouse is usually popular, busy, and crowded. It should be opening additional locations.
I would not mind more pizza restaurants. Simpsonville has enough, or too many, pizza delivery/carryout chains.
Theres an app that cuts wait time down. I thinks its NoWait. We use it every time we go to Texas Roadhouse. We go to the one in Spartanburg mostly, and we use the app to get on the list. Usually get "in line" when we leave the house, and don't have to wait more than 10 or 15 minutes.
Franks House of Pizza is a sit down style pizza restaurant located in Fountain Inn. They other things as well.

I genuinely can't relate to the idea that Simpsonville is lacking in non-national-chain pizza.
Just on the Fairview/downtown side, there are Frank & Co. Pizza Cafe, Anthony's Pizzeria, Mario's Pizza, Full House Sportzaria, Bertolo’s Pizza, and Milano's. That's not including the chains (Bellacino's, Domino's, Papa John's, Pizza Hut, Hungry Howie's).

Don't get me wrong: I'm not saying that Simpsonville offers wall-to-wall world class cuisine or anything, and I frequently have to go to Mauldin, Fountain Inn, or Greenville to get stuff I want, but I don't think it's nearly as bad as all that. All other things equal, I'd also rather see more local flavor than chains. I love that we have places like Mad Cuban and Mary's Lunchbox.

Simpsonville needs restaurants. Red Lobster was a possibility several years ago prior to being spun off from Darden.
As for a steakhouse, I would not mind seeing Golden Corral fill that need. The demise of Ryan's has created an opportunity to fill a void.
I am still lamenting the demise of Ryan's. A once very popular locally based national chain. But Golden Corral could indeed fill that void in the steakhouse buffet category.
Also sad to see Shoney's shut down. I would like to see the old Shoney's return back like when it was Big Boy. The Frisch's Big Boy is doing very well in Kentucky and Ohio, and has recently revitalized under new ownership after the founding family sold out last year. They are looking to expand into Tennessee. And there is still the national Big Boy chain out of Michigan which also operates Bob's Big Boy in California.
