Wow wow wow wow!! VERY impressed. We have never been to Texas Roadhouse, mostly out of fear that it was overhyped & would be trash like outback and many other restaurants we’ve been too in this area. We finally just went for it last night and I do not regret it at ALL. The portions are HUGE, and the food is to die for. The cooks deserve a raise. The servers deserve a raise. Our server (can’t remember her name) was interacting and playing with our non verbal 2 year old which I found SO sweet. She was on top of drink refills and checking in on us to see if we needed anything. I love steak but the biggest reason I never get it anymore is because it’s always too tough - my knife practically just slid through this one. There truly wasn’t even a need for steak sauce because the flavor was just amazing. I’m not typically one to eat left overs but I absolutely did. It took a little bit to get our food, they were very busy, but man it was worth the wait. Best food I’ve had at a restaurant in a LONG time, if not the best ever.

Went to Texas Roadhouse tonight for the most amazing 20 oz bone-in ribeye under $30. Started with the fried pickles which were amazing with ranch and Cajun sauce. Both had Caesar salads with their house made Caesar dressing (l mix mine with ranch) which is always so good. For our entrees we both had the bone-in ribeye cooked mid rare-medium and they were cooked to perfection. So much food and the steak with 2 sides is 28.99! We love to get this because the dogs get a nice bone treat when we get home. Our server was Marina and she did amazing as well. Kudos to her. Thank you TXRH for another amazing dinner!

We had a very short wait. The service was great. The staff was kind and especially very sweet to my granddaughters. They took the time to talk with them and made them feel special. This is a huge PLUS. I know they were busy. It was a Friday evening. Yet, they took the time to talk with my young granddaughters, even leveling down to their height. Great Job! Thank you so much for that! Started with fried pickles, very tasty. The granddaughters devoured them. Food didn't take too long to be served. My steak was slightly overcooked and a little dry, but still somewhat tender. I didn't care much for the toasted roll. I would have preferred Texas toasted bread. That's my only compliment. The grilled shrimp was excellent. Everything else was delicious. Kids' meals were great, my husband's chicken fried steak was good, and our baked potatoes were amazing. Salad was crisp and delicious. No balsamic dressing was available, but oil and vinegar, along with a slice of lemon, perfected the salad for me. We enjoyed our meal, while the service was excellent. Definitely will return.

I am extremely disappointed when I got back to my hotel and opened my containers. My order was supposed to be ready for pickup at 6:25 PM, but it wasn’t brought out to me until 6:44 PM. By the time I got back to my hotel—just 8 minutes away—my food was already cold. And that was just the beginning. My steak looked completely unappetizing. It was overcooked, unseasoned, and dry. I usually don’t need steak sauce, but this time, I wish I had it just to add some flavor and moisture. My sweet potato was inexplicably greasy, making it unpleasant to eat. The only decent part of the meal was the sautéed mushrooms—which weren’t actually sautéed but at least edible. Honestly, it doesn’t even matter that I won’t be eating here again or that this experience makes me never want to visit any Texas Roadhouse in the future. What bothers me most is that I fast for 18 hours a day and look forward to my dinner—only to end up with this. What a complete waste. In my opinion, what can be done to fix the issue? I was asked this question in an automated survey via text. I don’t think there’s a way to improve this. I believe the effort put into my meal is the best that could be given, all they had to give, and honestly, I can’t even be mad about it.

We had a great dinner experience! Christina was our waitress and she was amazing! I want to ask for her every time! She helped us on several items to order and they all tasted great! She got me to try the Italian dressing on my house salad, I was impressed! I will order again! Fried pickles, so good and crunchy! My herb crusted chicken was delicious along with a baked potato! Mm!

We come into this location here and there when we’re in town. Todays food was awful not sure why (I ordered the 6 oz sirloin which was great and cooked amazingly for medium rare but as for the sides 🤮 the loaded baked sweet potato was burnt and tasted that way on the inside, and the green beans tasted like the inside of a nail salon smells I thought it was just me but my husband mentioned it as well) he said his pulled pork sandwich was fatty and salty as well. I’m not sure what was off today if it was just they were recovering from a rush or what. We gave the waiter grace since he obviously had other tables we weren’t the only ones so we understood why we didn’t receive refills or what not. I just hope if we decide to go back the food is like it was the first time we tried this location.

They know steak, trust me. They know steaks, one of the best I ever had. Took it medium, and it was perfectly tender and juicy. Wouldn't necessarily venture outside of ordering steaks, as everything else is pretty average, including the ribs. The bread with the cinnamon butter is also amazing, make sure you try that, even if your off bread. Lots of parking available however be mindful of the time you go, the place is pretty popular and fills up really fast. Service is fast and friendly a round around joyful jolly atmosphere, deff worth a try just stick to the steaks.
