Legal Battle Ensues: E3 Chophouse Owners Face Lawsuit Over Lease Breach
Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan, and former MLB player Adam LaRoche, along with Outlaws LLC, are facing a lawsuit from GBT Realty Corp over their E3 Chophouse steakhouse closure earlier this year. The lawsuit alleges that the star owners breached their lease agreement for the steakhouse, resulting in legal actions that led to the restaurant vacating the property in May. The realty company was awarded $1.427 million in damages, and the lawsuit now seeks monetary damages for future and past rent payments, as well as costs related to the business' failure to vacate the property promptly.
The E3 Chophouse owners claim they had no prior knowledge of the lawsuit and are working towards a resolution. The steakhouse initially closed in February 2026, described as a temporary pause to evaluate Nashville's needs. However, with the lawsuit and the restaurant vacating its property, the closure appears more permanent. If the steakhouse reopens, it is likely to be in a different location.
The legal battle between GBT Realty Corp and the E3 Chophouse owners, including Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan, continues as the lawsuit seeks damages for breaching the lease agreement. The closure of the steakhouse earlier this year has led to a series of legal actions, resulting in the restaurant vacating the property and facing financial consequences. The future of E3 Chophouse remains uncertain, with the possibility of reopening in a different location.
