Texas Roadhouse Menu in Tennessee

Texas Roadhouse Menu in Tennessee: eating Texas Roadhouse in the Volunteer State

Tennessee is a long state, and the restaurant map reflects that. In Middle Tennessee, the Nashville suburbs carry much of the traffic, with dining rooms in places like Murfreesboro, Hendersonville, Mt. Juliet and Spring Hill feeding commuters who would rather eat close to home than fight downtown parking. West Tennessee leans on Memphis and Jackson. Out east, Knoxville anchors things, Chattanooga covers the Georgia line, and the Tri-Cities of Johnson City, Kingsport and Bristol share a location near the Virginia border. Clarksville rounds out the picture up by Fort Campbell.

Wherever you land, the routine is the same. A basket of rolls shows up fast, the peanut buckets of the old days have mostly given way to a tidier setup, and the dining room gets loud in a friendly way around 6 p.m. If you hate waiting, that timing detail matters more than anything else on this page. The sections below walk the menu the way Tennessee regulars tend to order it, with typical ranges as of October 2026. Prices vary by location, so treat every number here as a planning guide rather than a quote.

The steaks people drive for

Every steak here is cut in-house, which is why the display case sits up front like a butcher counter. The Hand-Cut Sirloin is the value anchor of the whole menu, typically running about $13 to $23 depending on whether you order the 6, 8 or 11 ounce cut. It is lean, beefy and takes a char well. Step up and the Ft. Worth Ribeye, roughly $22 to $31, brings the marbling most steak lovers are actually chasing. The 20 ounce Bone-In Ribeye sits near the top at about $29 to $38 and eats like two meals.

The Dallas Filet, usually $23 to $32, is the tender option for folks who care about texture more than fat. The New York Strip lands in the $21 to $29 band and splits the difference. Then there is the 23 ounce Porterhouse T-Bone at roughly $31 to $40, a filet on one side of the bone and strip on the other. On many weekends you will also see Prime Rib, slow-roasted and sliced to order, generally $23 to $34 while it lasts. Ask your server early, because once the roast is gone, it is gone for the night.

Ribs, combos and the smoke-kissed stuff

Tennessee takes its barbecue seriously, so the ribs get judged hard here, and they hold up. A half slab usually runs $18 to $25, with a full slab at about $24 to $32, sauced the house way and cooked until the meat pulls clean. If you cannot decide between land and smoke, the Texas Size Combos solve it. Sirloin and ribs together sit around $23 to $31, and the Chicken Critters and ribs pairing lands near $20 to $28. Grilled BBQ chicken with a 6 ounce sirloin fills the same $20 to $28 lane.

Rolls first, then chicken and country dinners

Ask any Tennessean in the dining room and they will tell you the rolls are the real headliner. They arrive hot, brushed and ready for the cinnamon butter, and refills keep coming while you wait. Beyond the basket, the chicken side of the menu does steady work. Country Fried Chicken, hand-battered under cream gravy, runs about $15 to $22. Chicken Critters, the crispy tenders, go for roughly $14 to $20 with your pick of sauces, and the Herb Crusted Chicken at $15 to $21 is the lighter grilled option. Beef Tips with mushrooms, onions and gravy, about $16 to $23, might be the most underrated plate in the building.

Starters, sides and a sweet finish

Starters are built for the table. The Cactus Blossom, a whole fried onion with Cajun dip, costs about $7 to $12 and feeds four people easily. Rattlesnake Bites bring jalapeño and jack cheese heat for $7 to $11, and Tater Skins with cheddar and bacon run $8 to $12.

Every entree includes two sides, and the smart money rotates between the loaded baked potato, seasoned rice, buttered corn and the house salad with ranch made in-house. Kids eat well here too: standard kids meals run about $6 to $11, and the bigger Ranger meals, which include small steak or ribs options, land around $9 to $14. Save a little room. Granny's Apple Classic and the Big Ol' Brownie, both in the $7 to $10 range, close a meal properly.

Early Dine and taking dinner home

On select weeknights, most Tennessee locations run an Early Dine menu in the early evening hours, a short list of full dinners priced lower for guests who eat before the rush. The exact clock and lineup differ by restaurant, so our Early Dine guide explains how to check yours before you go. To-go is just as popular. Order through the official app or site, and family-style bundles stretch a sirloin-and-sides budget across four people without much effort. Our takeout menu guide breaks down what travels best.

Finding your Tennessee location

The reliable way to pin down a restaurant is the official locator on the Texas Roadhouse website or app. Search your city, then open the individual location page to confirm hours, since a suburban dining room and a mall-adjacent one can close at different times on Sundays. Use call-ahead seating from the app or by phone: you join the wait list before you leave the house, check in at the host stand, and your quoted time shrinks to a short sit in the lobby. It is not a reservation, but on a Friday in Murfreesboro it feels close.

Tennessee questions, answered

Do Nashville and Memphis locations charge the same prices?

Not always. The menu is the same, but each restaurant sets its own prices, so a sirloin in Memphis can run a dollar or two different from one in Knoxville. The gap is small; the ranges on this page cover most of the state.

Is prime rib available every night?

At most locations it is a weekend feature, often Friday through Sunday, and only until the roast sells out. Call your specific restaurant if prime rib is the whole point of the trip.

Can I join the wait before I arrive?

Yes. Call-ahead seating through the app or by phone puts your name on the list early. You still check in when you get there, and there may be a short wait, but it beats walking in cold at 6:30 on a Saturday.

What is the biggest steak on the Tennessee menu?

The 23 ounce Porterhouse T-Bone is the heavyweight, followed by the 20 ounce Bone-In Ribeye. Both come with two sides, and both typically land in the $29 to $40 zone.

Does Texas Roadhouse take reservations in Tennessee?

Generally no. Seating is first come, first served, with call-ahead seating as the workaround. Large parties should phone the restaurant directly, since policies for groups vary by location.
