Texas Roadhouse Menu in Nebraska
Texas Roadhouse Menu in Nebraska: cornhusker country portions
Omaha runs the show, with dining rooms spread across the metro and into Bellevue, and Lincoln keeps pace whenever the university is in session. Grand Island, Kearney and Fremont cover the central corridor, while Hastings, North Platte and Norfolk make sure the rest of the state is not driving two hours for a ribeye. For a state with more cattle than people in many counties, expectations for a steakhouse are high, and the parking lots suggest this one clears the bar.
Husker home games are the surge event. Lincoln fills early and stays full, and Omaha locations pick up fans driving home on I-80. Call-ahead seating is not optional on those Saturdays, it is the plan.
Ribs and Texas-size combos first
Some menus you read top to bottom. Nebraska reads this one starting at the ribs. They cook low and slow, half slabs at $18 to $25 and full slabs at $24 to $32, glazed with the house BBQ sauce. The combos are the state's real signature orders: Sirloin and Ribs ($23 to $31) for the classic pairing, Chicken Critters and Ribs ($20 to $28) for crunch plus smoke, and Grilled BBQ Chicken and Sirloin ($20 to $28) when someone wants a foot in both camps. Each plate carries two sides, and each table has already eaten a basket of rolls by the time they arrive, which the kitchen seems to plan for.
Steaks, cut the Nebraska way
The case by the door holds the day's cuts, trimmed in-house. Hand-Cut Sirloin ($13 to $23) is the working steak, lean and honest. The Dallas Filet ($23 to $32) cuts like butter, the New York Strip ($21 to $29) brings the chew, and the Ft. Worth Ribeye ($22 to $31) brings the fat in the best way. The Bone-In Ribeye ($29 to $38) runs 20 oz. and Prime Rib ($23 to $34) shows up slow-roasted on weekends. The Porterhouse T-Bone ($31 to $40) is the biggest plate in the building and gets ordered at least once per section per night, usually by someone who finishes it.
Chicken and lighter dinners
Grilled BBQ Chicken ($14 to $20) and Herb Crusted Chicken ($15 to $21) cover the grilled side, while Chicken Critters ($14 to $20) handle the fried requests. Country Fried Chicken and Country Fried Sirloin ($15 to $22) arrive under cream gravy, Beef Tips ($16 to $23) under the brown kind with mushrooms and onions. Grilled Salmon ($19 to $27) is on the board for anyone skipping red meat entirely, and it outsells expectations in Lincoln during Lent.
The room itself
Half the draw is the room: wood everywhere, country music up loud enough to feel, peanuts on the table, and rolls that keep landing whether you asked or not. Servers line dance on a schedule nobody writes down. It is not quiet, and it is not trying to be. Nebraska families treat it as the default birthday, promotion and report-card restaurant, which is why the dining room hums even on a random Wednesday in February.
Lunch counts too, particularly in Omaha's business districts and around the Lincoln campus. The full menu runs from opening, plates move quickly at midday, and a burger, salad or small sirloin at lunch money is the reason half the office parks here on Fridays. It is the same kitchen and the same rolls, just a faster clock.
Early Dine: the weeknight move
Most Nebraska stores run Early Dine on select weeknights, with a short list of dinners priced below the regular menu for early seatings. Omaha's early crowd has it down to a science. Check our Early Dine guide for the mechanics, then confirm days and hours at your location, because a Husker Saturday is never part of the deal.
How to find your nearest Nebraska location
Search by city or ZIP in the official Texas Roadhouse app or on the website and open your exact store for its menu, hours and call-ahead seating. Council Bluffs sits just across the river from Omaha if the Nebraska side is slammed. For more menus, browse the states index, study the full menu with prices, or cross the state line to the Iowa menu page and Kansas menu page.
Takeout, done right
Nebraska uses the to-go program heavily, and a few habits separate a great pickup from a soggy one. Order in the app and pick a time slot rather than as-soon-as-possible on Fridays, because the kitchen sequences to-go orders against a full dining room. Ask for steak temperatures one notch below your usual if the drive home runs past twenty minutes, since the meat keeps cooking in the box.
Rolls travel in their own bag, salads ride un-dressed if you ask, and family packs reheat in a low oven better than anything else on the menu. Curbside pickup runs at most stores, which in January, with the wind coming off the plains, feels less like a convenience and more like a rescue service.
Nebraska questions, answered
How bad is the wait in Lincoln on Husker game days?
Bad enough that locals plan around it. Home game Saturdays can mean waits past an hour from mid-afternoon on. Eat before the lunch rush or join the waitlist from home.
What is the best combo for a first visit?
Sirloin and Ribs. You get the two things the place is known for on one plate, with two sides, usually inside the $23 to $31 range.
Are peanuts on the floor still a thing?
Peanuts are served at the table and shells on the floor are part of the tradition at most locations. If anyone in your group has a peanut allergy, tell the host stand right away so the team can seat and serve you safely.
Do Nebraska locations do Early Dine every weekday?
Most run it on selected weeknights rather than all five, and never on big event nights. Your store's page lists its schedule, and a quick call settles it.
Can I feed a youth sports team here without a reservation?
Groups walk in all the time, but 15 kids in uniforms on a Friday will wait. Call ahead for large parties and the staff will do their best to seat you together.
