Texas Roadhouse Menu in Alabama

Texas Roadhouse Menu in Alabama: where Alabama pulls up a chair

The map follows the population. Birmingham's suburbs host several dining rooms, Huntsville's growth has packed its locations with engineers and young families, and Mobile covers the Gulf side along with nearby Eastern Shore communities. Montgomery splits the difference in the middle of the state. Then come the college towns, which operate on their own calendar: Tuscaloosa on an Alabama game weekend and Auburn or Opelika when the Tigers play at home are experiences closer to a festival than a dinner out, and the wait list tells the story.

Dothan, Florence, Gadsden, Decatur and Prattville round out the coverage, putting most of the state within reach of a location. The food is identical everywhere, which is the comfort of a chain done right. The differences are local: which games play on the TVs, how sweet the tea crowd runs, and how early the Friday rush starts. Prices quoted on this page are typical ranges as of October 2026, and prices vary by location, so check your restaurant's own ordering page for the final numbers.

Starters built for game day

This is where the table warms up. The Combo Appetizer, roughly $11 to $16, lets you pick three starters with two dipping sauces and is practically engineered for a group watching the pregame show from a booth. The Cactus Blossom, a golden fried onion with Cajun dip, runs $7 to $12 and feeds the whole table if everyone behaves. Fried Pickles at $6 to $10 and Rattlesnake Bites at $7 to $11, those jalapeño and jack cheese bites with a slow burn, disappear fastest. Tater Skins with cheddar, bacon and sour cream hold their own at $8 to $12, and Boneless Buffalo Wings in mild or hot, $9 to $14, cover the wing craving without a pile of bones.

Chicken dinners and the Critters crowd

Plenty of Alabamians order chicken at a steakhouse and feel zero shame about it, because the chicken menu is genuinely good. Chicken Critters, the hand-breaded tenders, headline at about $14 to $20 with two sides and a dunking sauce. Country Fried Chicken goes full comfort: battered breast, cream gravy, roughly $15 to $22. The Herb Crusted Chicken, grilled with a savory herb crust, lands at $15 to $21 and plays well with seasoned rice. Grilled BBQ Chicken, $14 to $20, keeps things simple and saucy. Even the Country Fried Sirloin, a crispy steak under the same gravy treatment, sits in the $15 to $22 lane for anyone who wants the best of both sections.

Steaks and ribs for Saturday night

When the occasion calls for beef, the case delivers the usual ladder. The Hand-Cut Sirloin starts around $13 to $23 by size and anchors the value end. The Ft. Worth Ribeye runs $22 to $31, the New York Strip $21 to $29, and the Dallas Filet, the tender splurge, $23 to $32. Big appetites aim at the 20 ounce Bone-In Ribeye near $29 to $38 or the 23 ounce Porterhouse around $31 to $40. Ribs hold their own against Alabama's smoke traditions: a half slab typically costs $18 to $25, a full slab $24 to $32, and the sirloin-and-ribs combo settles arguments for $23 to $31. Prime Rib appears on weekends at many locations in the $23 to $34 range.

Sides that act like a second meal

Two sides come with every entree, and the loaded sweet potato is the local celebrity, baked soft and finished sweet. Mashed potatoes with gravy, buttered corn, green beans, seasoned rice and mac and cheese fill out the rotation, and a baked potato can be loaded with cheese, bacon and sour cream for a small upcharge. House salads get made-in-house ranch, which regulars request by the extra ramekin. Dessert is not an afterthought either: Granny's Apple Classic, warm apple pie with ice cream and cinnamon caramel, and the Big Ol' Brownie with vanilla ice cream both sit around $7 to $10.

Early Dine, family packs and pickup

Value hunters should learn the Early Dine rhythm: select weeknights, early evening, a list of dinners at trimmed prices. Our Early Dine guide explains how to confirm your location's schedule. For feeding a house full of fans, family packs ordered in the app turn one pickup run into dinner for four to six people, and curbside service at most Alabama stores keeps you out of the lobby entirely. See the takeout guide for packing tips.

Locate your Alabama restaurant

The official locator and app give you the nearest dining room, its hours and its wait list, and hours do vary: a beach-adjacent store near the Gulf and a Birmingham suburban store do not keep identical Sunday schedules. Add your name with call-ahead seating before leaving the house on game weekends. Planning meals in neighboring states? See the pages for Florida and Georgia, or browse the full states directory.

Alabama FAQ

How bad is the wait on a football Saturday?

In Tuscaloosa and Auburn, plan on the longest waits of the year around home games. Use call-ahead seating the moment you leave for the restaurant, or eat before 5 p.m. Other Alabama cities stay busy but manageable.

How much is the Cactus Blossom?

Usually $7 to $12 depending on the restaurant. One order comfortably serves three to four people as a shared starter.

Do Alabama locations serve alcohol?

Most do, with a bar serving margaritas, beer and cocktails, though selection and local rules vary by city and county. Check your location's page or the drink menu guide for the rundown.

Can I feed a tailgate group with a to-go order?

Yes, and it is a popular play. Family packs and bulk sides scale well; order ahead in the app on game days because pickup slots fill up by mid-afternoon.

Is there a kids menu at Alabama locations?

There is. Kids meals run about $6 to $11 and heartier Ranger meals about $9 to $14, with choices like mini burgers, chicken tenders, mac and cheese and small steak or ribs plates.
