Tony Roma’s becomes a happening gathering place

A sweet spot for Tony Roma’s lies in high foot-traffic areas, such as shopping malls, near tourist attractions, and areas that routinely receive large numbers of visitors. Because our restaurants work well in a variety of location types, including freestanding units and spaces at the end of a strip shopping centers, we’ve designed a versatile, open floor-plan that recently debuted at our flagship store on International Drive in Orlando, Florida.

The I-Drive prototype features a robust dining area and outdoor dining patio, with an open-air bar that brings the outside in. Locals flock to our new restaurant to enjoy our traditional ribs as well as our dozens of new and innovative menu items in an upscale but still casual dining atmosphere.
