Texas Roadhouse Menu in Minnesota

Texas Roadhouse Menu in Minnesota: north Star State tables

The Twin Cities hold most of the state's dining rooms, ringed through suburbs like Bloomington, Eagan, Maple Grove, Woodbury, Roseville and Coon Rapids, so metro families usually have two or three options and a favorite. Rochester covers the southeast and the Mayo Clinic traffic, Duluth takes the North Shore crowd, and St. Cloud, Mankato and Moorhead round out the map. Minnesota adopted this chain with surprising enthusiasm for a state that guards its supper clubs, possibly because the value math is hard to argue with in February.

Winter changes the wait game. A Friday blizzard empties the dining room by 8 p.m., while the first warm Friday of spring fills it by 5. The waitlist app tells the truth either way.

Filet country

The Dallas Filet ($23 to $32) has a genuine following in Minnesota, the tender cut for people who treat steak night as an occasion. It shares the case with the Hand-Cut Sirloin ($13 to $23), lean and priced for regular visits, the New York Strip ($21 to $29), the marbled Ft. Worth Ribeye ($22 to $31), and the two heavyweights: the 20 oz. Bone-In Ribeye ($29 to $38) and the 23 oz. Porterhouse T-Bone ($31 to $40). All of it is cut in-house, which the staff will happily explain while you stare through the glass. Prime Rib ($23 to $34) lands on weekends and moves quickly in Rochester and the metro stores.

The peanut barrel ritual

Newcomers get the tour from their tablemates: peanuts from the barrel while you wait, shells where they fall, then hot rolls with cinnamon butter the moment you sit down. It is a lot of snacking before a single entree arrives, and Minnesotans pace it like a sport, one roll before ordering, one with the meal, one planned for the ride home that rarely survives the parking lot. Allergy note worth repeating: peanuts are everywhere in the dining room, so flag allergies at the host stand.

Ribs, chicken and winter comfort

Ribs come half slab ($18 to $25) or full ($24 to $32), slow-cooked and sauced, and the combos pair them with sirloin ($23 to $31) or Chicken Critters ($20 to $28). The chicken bench runs deep: Critters ($14 to $20), Country Fried Chicken ($15 to $22), Herb Crusted Chicken ($15 to $21), Grilled BBQ Chicken ($14 to $20). Beef Tips ($16 to $23) with mushrooms, onions and gravy over mashed potatoes is the plate Minnesota orders when the wind chill makes the news. Grilled Salmon ($19 to $27) holds the lighter end, and two scratch sides come with nearly everything.

Save room for the brownie

The dessert list is two items deep and both earn it. The Big Ol' Brownie ($7 to $10) arrives warm with vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce, built for splitting four ways and usually split two. Granny's Apple Classic ($7 to $10) brings apple pie, ice cream and cinnamon caramel. Starters deserve a footnote here too, since the Cactus Blossom ($7 to $12) and Tater Skins ($8 to $12) compete with dessert for the title of most-photographed plate on Minnesota tables.

Lunch deserves its line as well. The full menu runs from opening, and the midday order pattern is pure Minnesota practical: Critter salads, burgers, and the small sirloin, priced close enough to fast food that the comparison stops being funny. In Rochester, clinic staff and visitors keep the lunchroom humming on weekdays, and the kitchen is plainly built for speed at noon even if dinner is built for lingering.

Early Dine, the Minnesota nice price

Early Dine runs at most Minnesota stores on select weeknights: a short list of dinners at lower prices for early seatings, a natural fit for a state that eats supper at 5:30 without irony. Our Early Dine guide has the details, and your store confirms its own days and cutoff hour. In the suburbs, the early dining room is full of people who planned it that way.

How to find your nearest Minnesota location

Search your city or ZIP in the official Texas Roadhouse app or on the website, then open the exact store for its live menu, hours and call-ahead seating. Metro diners should compare the wait at two nearby suburbs before driving; they often differ by half an hour. More reading: the states index, the calories guide, and the neighbors on the Iowa menu page and Wisconsin menu page.

Birthdays and the saddle

First-timers should know about the saddle. When the staff hears it is your birthday, out comes a saddle on a stand, a loud announcement, and a dining room full of strangers applauding while you sit on it for a photo. Minnesotans, raised on understatement, endure this with remarkable good grace and then request it for their kids the next year. It costs nothing, it takes two minutes, and it explains why so many birthday dinners in the suburbs end up at these addresses. If your group would rather skip the spotlight, just tell your server quietly and the evening stays saddle-free. Either way, the birthday guest usually eats the brownie.

Minnesota questions, answered

Which Twin Cities suburb has the shortest wait?

It rotates, honestly. On any given Friday, one suburb's store will be 30 minutes faster than the next. Check the app for both before you leave and let the waitlist decide.

Is the Duluth location busy in summer?

Yes, North Shore tourism fills it from June through leaf season, with weekend waits to match. Weeknight dinners and early seatings are the calm windows.

What do kids eat here, and what does it cost?

Kids meals run $6 to $11 with smaller portions of tenders, burgers and mac and cheese, and Ranger meals at $9 to $14 step up to steak bites and ribs for bigger kids.

Can the restaurant handle a peanut allergy?

Peanuts are a signature part of the room, so tell the host and your server right away. The team has procedures for allergy guests, and the allergen guide on the official site lists ingredients across the menu.

Does Rochester fill up during the week?

Steadily, thanks to clinic visitors and locals alike. It behaves more like a metro store than a small-city one, so call-ahead seating helps even on a Tuesday.
