Texas Roadhouse Drink Menu: Soft Drinks, Margaritas & More

Start with the everyday drinks

Most tables start simple. A cold drink lands, the rolls land, and then everyone actually looks at the food menu. The nonalcoholic list is short and familiar. You get 20oz Fountain Drinks, a 20 oz Lemonade, a 20 oz Iced Tea, a 20 oz Sweet Tea, Bottled Water, and a Mix & Match Tea or Lemonade option that lets you blend the two. That blend sounds like a small thing. On a 95 degree day after a long drive, it is not. Here is the detail people miss. The global menu notes that the displayed 20 oz beverage pricing is for to-go beverages with no refills. Dine-in refill rules can differ by restaurant. So if refills matter to you, and they matter to a lot of families, ask your server how your location handles them before you assume a second and third glass are included. Sweet tea deserves its own note. In the South it is the default. Elsewhere, some guests find it much sweeter than expected. If you are unsure, order the unsweet iced tea first and sweeten it yourself, or go half and half with lemonade. Kids tend to do better with lemonade or a fountain drink in a smaller pace, since a full 20 oz sweet tea carries a lot of sugar for a small person. Planning a family night?

Margaritas and cocktails in plain English

Once you cross into the bar list, the menu widens fast. Seven margaritas. Eleven cocktails. This section keeps it short. Full item by item detail lives in our sibling alcohol menu guide. Margaritas come as House Rocks, House Frozen, The Legend, Fruity, Mango, Hurricane and Sangria. House means value. Legend means premium spirits. Fruity and Mango mean sweet. Hurricane and Sangria mean strong under a friendly taste, so sip, do not rush. Cocktails split by mood. Cactus Water and Tito's & Soda stay light. The Old Fashioned and Porch Rocker suit whiskey fans. The three Long Island Iced Tea builds, listed as L.I.T., Top Shelf L.I.T. and Southern Whiskey L.I.T., are the strongest drinks on the page. Texas Peach Fuzz, Island Cooler, Jamaican Cowboy and Gin Blossom cover the fruity and floral end. A simple pairing rule helps. Rich, fatty food likes acid or bubbles. A rocks margarita or a light soda based cocktail cuts through a ribeye better than a sweet frozen drink does. Sweet drinks shine with salty starters. Try a Mango Margarita with fried pickles and you will get it in one bite.

Beer and wine for people who do not want a cocktail

Plenty of guests skip mixed drinks entirely. The beer list gives them 14 ways to do that. Domestic lagers cover Budweiser, Bud Light, Miller Lite, Coors Light and Michelob Ultra. Imports add Heineken, Corona Extra, Stella Artois and Modelo Especial. Sam Adams Boston Lager and the Sam Adams Seasonal pour cover lager fans who want more flavor. Blue Moon covers wheat beer. Angry Orchard Hard Cider covers the guest who wants something cold and sweet without hops. Heineken 0.0 covers the driver. Wine is six glasses and done. Two Cabernets, Josh and Dark Horse, plus Meiomi Pinot Noir for reds. Ecco Domani Pinot Grigio and Nobilo Sauvignon Blanc for whites. Barefoot Moscato for sweet wine fans. No homework required. Red with steak, white with chicken or salmon, Moscato with dessert. That rule will get you through 90 percent of dinners without a wrong pick.

Three ordering mistakes to skip

Mistake one is ordering for the table before anyone sits down. Drink orders change once people see the bar list. Wait two minutes. Mistake two is assuming every soft drink includes endless refills everywhere. The to-go note on the global menu should tell you why that assumption is risky. Ask first, especially on takeout orders where a second drink means a second charge. Mistake three is stacking sweet on sweet. A sweet tea, a Mango Margarita and a brownie for dessert will leave you in a sugar fog. Balance the table. One sweet drink per person is a good ceiling, with water doing the quiet work in between. And a small kindness tip. Order a water alongside any alcoholic drink from the start. You will drink it. Your server will refill it without a special trip, and your morning will thank you.
