Texas Roadhouse Menu in Colorado
Texas Roadhouse Menu in Colorado: Front Range first, then the rest of the state
Most Colorado dining rooms hug the Front Range, where most Colorado people live. The Denver metro has several, spread through Aurora, Lakewood, Arvada, Thornton and Littleton, so a 15-minute drive usually finds one. Colorado Springs anchors the south, Fort Collins and Loveland cover the north, and Longmont, Greeley and Pueblo fill the gaps. Grand Junction flies the flag on the Western Slope, a long way from the nearest metro location in more ways than one.
The rhythm is familiar: Friday nights busy, Saturday nights busier, and ski traffic adding a Sunday-afternoon wave along I-70 and I-25 in winter. The waitlist app earns its keep here.
Prime rib weekends
Prime Rib ($23 to $34) is the weekend ritual. It roasts low and slow, gets carved to order, and at busy Front Range stores it can sell out before the dinner rush ends. If prime rib is the point of your trip, go early or call ahead and ask, because once it is gone the kitchen does not roast a second one. Order it with a baked potato and the house salad and you have the classic Colorado order at this chain, the one regulars measure other steak dinners against.
The full steak board
Beyond prime rib, the case holds the full lineup, all cut in-house. The Hand-Cut Sirloin ($13 to $23) is lean value. The New York Strip ($21 to $29) keeps its firm bite, the Ft. Worth Ribeye ($22 to $31) goes heavy on marbling, and the Dallas Filet ($23 to $32) is the tender splurge. The Bone-In Ribeye ($29 to $38) runs a full 20 oz., and the Porterhouse T-Bone ($31 to $40) gives you filet and strip sharing one bone. Ribs split the difference between steak night and barbecue night: $18 to $25 for a half slab, $24 to $32 for a full, and combos like Sirloin and Ribs ($23 to $31) for the undecided.
Starters for the table
Tater Skins ($8 to $12) lead the Colorado starter rotation, loaded with cheddar, bacon and sour cream. The Cactus Blossom ($7 to $12) is the shareable fried onion, Rattlesnake Bites ($7 to $11) bring jalapeno heat, and Fried Pickles ($6 to $10) vanish in minutes. The Combo Appetizer ($11 to $16) picks three with two sauces, and Boneless Buffalo Wings ($9 to $14) hold down the sports-bar end of the table. At altitude, appetites show up early, and these plates are priced like the kitchen knows it.
Chicken, salads and sides
Chicken Critters ($14 to $20), Country Fried Chicken ($15 to $22), Herb Crusted Chicken ($15 to $21) and Grilled BBQ Chicken ($14 to $20) cover fried, smothered and grilled. Beef Tips ($16 to $23) and Grilled Salmon ($19 to $27) round out the non-steak mains. Salads like the Steakhouse Filet Salad ($17 to $24) and Chicken Critter Salad ($14 to $20) eat like entrees. Sides run the standard beloved list, two with most plates: baked or sweet potato, mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, seasoned rice, corn, green beans, steak fries. After a day on the slopes or the trail, the sweet potato loaded with cinnamon butter tastes better than it has any right to.
Early Dine before the mountains call
Early Dine shows up at many Colorado stores on select weeknights: a short menu of early-evening dinners at lower prices. It suits the state's schedule, early dinners before early mornings. Our Early Dine guide covers how it works, and your store sets the days and cutoff. In Colorado Springs and Fort Collins, the program has a loyal following of folks who would rather eat at 5 p.m. anyway.
How to find your nearest Colorado location
Open the official Texas Roadhouse app or site, search your city or ZIP, and select the exact restaurant for live pricing, hours and call-ahead seating. Denver metro shoppers may have three stores within 20 minutes, and their waits differ, so check before you commit to a drive. Browse the rest of the country in our states index, dig into deals in the menu specials guide, or see the Kansas menu page for the eastern neighbor.
Drinks, sweet tea and the bar
The drink menu does more work than people expect. Fresh-brewed iced tea, sweet or unsweet, and lemonade go by the glass with free refills, and flavored teas rotate through. The bar pours the chain's lineup of margaritas, including frozen and flavored versions, plus long iced teas, a short beer list heavy on the familiar names, and a few regional drafts that change by store.
Prices on drinks vary more than prices on food, so the drink menu at your table is the one to trust. One Colorado-specific word of sense: altitude makes alcohol hit faster for a lot of people, visitors especially, and the staff would rather you order a second basket of rolls than learn that the hard way. Designated drivers get their tea refilled like everyone else, no questions and no charge games.
Colorado questions, answered
When does prime rib usually sell out in Colorado?
At busy metro stores, sometimes by 7 p.m. on Saturdays. It is roasted in limited quantity, so an early dinner or a call ahead gives you the best shot.
Are prices higher in the Denver metro than in Pueblo or Greeley?
They can be, by a dollar or two on some items. Each restaurant sets its own prices, which is why this page works in ranges and your store's menu gives the exact number.
Is Grand Junction the only Western Slope option?
It is the main one. Western Slope readers driving from smaller towns should check hours before the trip, because the next closest dining room is hours away.
What should a big group order to keep costs sane?
A couple of family packs plus extra rolls and sides usually beat individual entrees for groups of eight or more, and Early Dine seatings help if your group can eat early.
Does the menu change with the seasons in Colorado?
The core menu stays put year-round. Limited-time items rotate through occasionally, and your store's menu page is where they show up first.
