The Journey of Texas T-Bone Grand Island: From Its Roots to a New Era

The Journey of Texas T-Bone Grand Island: From Its Roots to a New Era

Texas T-Bone Grand Island has been a cherished part of the Grand Island community since its founding in 1996. As the second location of the chain, it was originally brought to life by Dave Crimmins and Bennett Chamness. Under Bennett’s dedicated leadership and then ownership, the restaurant became more than just a place to enjoy a hearty meal; it became a cornerstone of the community, touching countless lives and hearts over the years.

Fast forward to today, Texas T-Bone embarks on an exciting new chapter under the leadership of Rey Lopez. Rey’s story is one of resilience, dedication, and the pursuit of dreams. Immigrating from Sinaloa, Mexico, to Grand Island, Nebraska, in 1984, Rey grew up amidst the evolving landscape of the city. Little did he know that the community he grew to love would also shape his life’s path in extraordinary ways.

Rey first joined Texas T-Bone as a team member in 1996, working hard to learn the ropes and rise through the ranks. While he moved on to explore other opportunities, the restaurant remained a significant part of his life. In 2003, Rey and his wife shared their first date at Texas T-Bone, marking the beginning of both a lifelong partnership and a deep connection to the place where it all began.

In the same year, Rey returned to Texas T-Bone, rekindling his passion for the restaurant industry and the Grand Island community. Over the years, he had the privilege of working alongside and learning from Bennett Chamness, whose mentorship and guidance helped shape his journey. Their shared dedication and vision eventually led to Rey becoming a co-owner of the business.

In December 2023, Bennett retired, entrusting the legacy of Texas T-Bone Grand Island to Rey and his wife. For Rey, it’s a full-circle moment—a testament to the power of hard work, perseverance, and the belief that dreams can become reality when pursued with passion.

Today, Rey is proud to lead Texas T-Bone into a new era, preserving its legacy while bringing his own unique perspective to the table. His commitment to the industry and the community he calls home remains steadfast, ensuring that Texas T-Bone continues to be a place where memories are made and hearts are touched, just as it has been since its founding.

Outstanding!

Wife and I stopped in for supper several nights ago and we were not disappointed by the atmosphere, service or the quality of the food. Wife had the grilled BBQ Chicken while I had the Pulled Pork sandwich and we both had their beans with beef (outstanding) choice. Waiter was on point making sure all our needs were met. Great place Highly recommend you stop here at least once, we will be going back.

Love The Food!

Love their food! The salads are a must try, the fried fish fillet is absolutely amazing and filling, and the steak is cooked perfectly with the right amount of season. Also recommend trying their Barqs Rootbeer with your meal. Great service.
