Babe's Chicken, Sweetie Pie's Ribeyes
Coming to North Richland Hills
The North Richland Hills City Council has given approval for Babe's Chicken Dinner House and Sweetie Pie's Ribeyes to be built on Loop 820, just east of Rufe Snow Drive, at the former library and recreation center site. Both restaurants are expected to open in 2017.Babe's is a family style and family owned restaurant with 9 locations in DFW and is ranked by Zagat as the most popular restaurant in the Metroplex.
Sweetie Pies, which is owned by the same family, is a steakhouse with one location currently in Decatur. It was recently featured in Texas Highways magazine. The restaurant is known not only for its steaks, but for its baked potatoes and pot pies.
The addition of these restaurants furthers the redevelopment efforts along our Loop 820 corridor. It also addresses a primary request from recent citizen surveys for more quality, sit-down restaurants in our community.

Rufe Snow Improvements Begin Soon
 Motorists on Rufe Snow Drive will begin to see lane closures soon for a project to widen and improve the roadway between Mid-Cities Boulevard and Ridgetop Road.
This project will expand the existing five-lane roadway
to seven lanes (three travel lanes in each direction plus a
center turn lane) and provide sidewalks along both the
east and west sides of the roadway. Intersection improvements will also be made.
The work is being performed by Kodiak Trenching and Boring and is expected to take about two years to complete. At least two lanes will be open in each direction throughout the duration of the project.
Motorists are urged to slow down and obey warning signs when travelling in the area. Questions may be directed to the Public Works Department at 817-427-6400.
The project is funded in large part through federal grants, with the City paying approximately 20% of construction costs.
