We told you back in September that Lee Roy Selmon's Restaurant would be opening a Carrollwood location.

The restaurant recently announced the opening date will be Dec. 5.

"We've been busy," said Jennifer Ulmer, a spokeswoman for the restaurant.

Carrollwood's Lee Roy Selmon's restaurant will open at 14457 N. Dale Mabry Highway near Bearss Avenue, where The Tilted Kilt closed its doors earlier this year.

The Carrollwood restaurant will seat 200 and feature dining in the patio, an indoor and outdoor lounge and bar area in addition to the main restaurant seating section.

An exclusive private dining room will be able to accommodate up to 30 guests. More than 40 high definition television screens will be located throughout the restaurant.

"It’s the perfect environment to gather with family and friends to enjoy great food and great sports with prime viewing both inside and outside," Ulmer said.
