Bowdie’s Chophouse is bringing its signature blend of fine dining and timeless elegance to Zionsville, Indiana—but this isn’t just another location. Here, the high-energy world of IndyCar racing meets the sophistication of a classic chophouse, creating an atmosphere that’s bold, refined, and unlike anything else in the area.
As Graham Rahal built his cutting-edge automotive campus, he wanted a restaurant that matched his high standards of quality and precision. He saw a need for a world-class steakhouse in Zionsville, and his father, IndyCar legend Bobby Rahal, knew just the place—Bowdie’s Chophouse.
Bobby, a longtime fan of Bowdie’s in Saugatuck, introduced Graham to founder Scott Bowdish. Their shared commitment to craftsmanship and top-tier experiences made the collaboration perfect. And with the Rahal Letterman Lanigan (RLL) Racing headquarters right across the street from Graham’s new campus, it became even more evident that Zionsville needed a high-end steakhouse.
Now, that vision is becoming a reality as Bowdie’s Chophouse Zionsville prepares to open its doors.

Transforming a blank slate into a one-of-a-kind chophouse took vision, collaboration, and a dedication to detail. With full creative control, we curated a space that captures the spirit of racing while maintaining Bowdie’s signature warmth and sophistication.
Working closely with Graham Rahal’s general contractor, Audie Tarpley and the DCG Construction team, we ensured every detail met the same high standards of craftsmanship seen throughout the Graham Rahal campus. Their expertise has also helped us stay on track for our early May opening without sacrificing quality.
Led by Kristine Kay Interiors, the design process was meticulously crafted to bring racing heritage into the space while maintaining the rustic elegance of our other Bowdie’s locations.
Kristine and her team—who also designed our Hilton Head and Grand Rapids locations and redesigned our Saugatuck and Lansing spaces—carefully selected industrial accents, rich woods, leather seating, and vintage lighting to create a warm yet dynamic atmosphere that reflects our shared vision.
More than just a restaurant, Bowdie’s Chophouse Zionsville is a celebration of speed, style, and world-class dining. Whether you’re fueling up before race weekend, hosting a business dinner, or simply indulging in an incredible steak, this location will deliver an experience like no other.
Get ready, Zionsville—Bowdie’s Chophouse is almost here, and it’s bringing the best of both worlds: the thrill of racing and the art of fine dining.
