Jared said the restaurant would be the fourth in the Texas-based chain started by the Good family, which co-founded Cheddar’s Casual Cafe. With the nearest location in Tulsa, Okla., Jared said the restaurant’s menu would feature a range of blackened, fried and grilled fish options, as well as steaks, burgers, ribs, pies and salads.
