Great place for the price, just always packed no matter of it's a weekday or weekend. Food is good. Recommend the onion blossom to split with others as a appetizer. Steak portions are good, is tender, and grilled very well though sometimes a little saltier than others, but still good food. Just let them know if you want it with less salt I'd say. Not a big deal imo. Ribs are on the sweeter side which isn't my style personally but it's tender and cooked well. Portions are really good for the price. Can't complain about that for the steaks or ribs. Probably not worth it for the shrimps though. Service has always been consistent but obviously there's time when they're very busy and food still comes out at a reasonable time. Though I'd say the wait time can be pretty inconsistent sometimes, so try to reserve 30min - 1hr or more ahead of time if you're eating for dinner cause it'll be really busy. I'd say go here for a above average streak house and very adorable price. Also their complimentary rolls are amazing with the cinnamon butter 10/10 for their rolls.

I've always been a huge fan of Texas Roadhouse, so I was excited to celebrate my birthday there last night. Unfortunately, the evening took an unexpected turn, leaving a sour taste in my mouth. The food was, as always, fantastic. Our server was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed. However, just as we were settling into our meal, chaos erupted a few tables behind us. A fight broke out, and before we knew it, police officers were walking back and forth next to our table. The atmosphere quickly shifted from relaxed to tense, and my wife and I couldn't finish our meal in peace. It was disappointing, to say the least. To make matters worse, the birthday treat I received was underwhelming. Instead of the usual brownie, I was told they had run out, and I was given a bowl of ice cream with chocolate sauce drizzled on top. While I appreciate the gesture, the presentation looked sloppy, and it felt like an afterthought. What struck me as particularly disappointing was that the staff seemed more focused on the drama unfolding around us than ensuring their customers had an exceptional experience. We had waited for an hour and a half to be seated, only to have our special night cut short by circumstances beyond our control. I understand that incidents can happen anywhere, but I hope that in the future, Texas Roadhouse will prioritize their customers' experiences, even in the face of unexpected events.

It was packed on a Friday morning with people enjoying their meals. We were seated immediately we arrived as I already got on a waitlist before getting to the restaurant. The bread rolls were served fresh, not a fan of cinnamon, so I didn't like the butter. Service was fast, the drinks arrived early and the meals did not take very long. Our orders were served fresh and hot. It was a good meal overall, and the atmosphere was good.

Came here with friends, but not really a steak person, so I got some grilled prawns. Sadly the rice, corn and prawns are way too salty. It's as if the chef just dropped the whole salt bottle into the plate. Onion cactus is ok, prefer onion rings. Only tasty thing is the bread rolls.

Texas Roadhouse is always a great spot for a hearty meal with a fun atmosphere. The service was friendly and efficient, and the portions were generous as always. However, I found the food to be a bit too salty this time, which took away from the overall experience. Still, the flavors were good, and I’ll definitely be back—just hoping for a little less salt next time!

Texas Roadhouse. What can I say, we love steaks. Steak was delicious but the appetizers like the Cucumbers was too salty for my taste. Great place to eat with your family and friends. Don't forget to ask extra bread while waiting for your food .

The top sirloin steak and baked potato I had were excellent. The side of chili contained beef that was very chewy and simple - also lacking a couple of vegetables to make it worth ordering. The bread we were given was almost like something synthetic. It was sweet and similar to cheap, store bought sweet rolls. Luckily, chile and rolls are easy fixes. One only knows if a large national chain has the wherewithal to do better.

Food is always delicious however we had to wait a little over 45minutes for our food pick up.. i ordered food at 1:55 for a 2:45 pick up time and our food wasn’t ready until 3:30pm.. we paid for extra bread that we did not receive. We paid for two 20oz sodas and received kids sized sodas because they were out of regular cups? They had no ice to top it off. My drink was also wrong. The employee didn’t even offer an alternative or refund. Mind you we came mid day on a Tuesday. Business was slow and it did not seem busy. I’m freshly postpartum and the poor service for my Texas Roadhouse craving ending up not being worth it our long drive. ):
