HELENA–The final stages of construction are being completed on the soon-to-open American Ranch House in Helena and the restaurant is searching for potential job candidates in anticipation for the grand opening.

The American Ranch House restaurant will be located at the former Frankie’s Market Café location at 4257 Shelby County 52 in Helena.

With the closing of Frankie’s Market Café last year, many Helena residents wondered what might occupy the space.

That question has been answered and residents will have another lunch and dinner option in a family style setting that will feature meat ‘n’ three items, as well as American and Mediterranean food and possibly breakfast at some point down the road after opening.

Helena will be the restaurant’s fourth location as the American Ranch House has locations in Vestavia, Tarrant and Five Points South.

The restaurant is still set to open sometime in mid to late February, according to Ranch House General Manage Cornelius Frazier.

The Helena Ranch house is looking to hire servers, cooks and steam table attendants. Those wishing to apply should do so in person at 1500 Pinson Valley Parkway in Tarrant or call 841-7799 to schedule an interview. Applicants may also schedule an interview by calling Frazier at 920-7995.

Upon opening, the American Ranch House hours will be Monday-Friday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.
