Texas Roadhouse Menu in Texas

Texas Roadhouse Menu in Texas: a home-state chain with a Texas-sized footprint

There's something fitting about the fact that the state in the name also holds the deepest bench of restaurants. You'll find Texas Roadhouse dining rooms across Houston, the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, Austin, San Antonio, and El Paso, plus a long list of midsize cities and highway towns in between: Lubbock, Midland, Tyler, Waco, Corpus Christi, the Rio Grande Valley. For most Texans, the nearest one is a short drive, and Friday nights prove it. Waits at popular suburban locations can stretch past an hour, which is why regulars treat call-ahead seating like a standing appointment.

Because the footprint is so wide, small menu differences do show up between restaurants. One location's prime rib might sell out by 7 p.m. while another runs it all weekend. Treat this page as your planning guide, then confirm the details on your store's own menu page.

The steaks people drive for

Every steak here is cut in-house, and the display case near the entrance is not just decoration. The lineup runs from the lean, budget-friendly Hand-Cut Sirloin (about $13 to $23 depending on size) up to the 23 oz. Porterhouse T-Bone at the top of the range ($31 to $40). In between, the Dallas Filet ($23 to $32) is the tender pick, the Ft. Worth Ribeye ($22 to $31) brings the marbling, and the 20 oz. Bone-In Ribeye ($29 to $38) is the one tables split. The New York Strip lands around $21 to $29, and slow-roasted Prime Rib ($23 to $34) appears on weekends at most Texas locations, though it goes fast.

Two honest tips from repeat visitors: the sirloin is the value play and holds up well at a medium cook, and if your heart is set on prime rib, an early dinner is not a suggestion, it's the strategy.

Ribs, combos, and the baskets in between

The ribs are slow-cooked until they give up, then finished with the house BBQ sauce. A half slab usually runs $18 to $25 and a full slab $24 to $32. Can't pick between steak and ribs? That's exactly what the Texas Size Combos solve: Sirloin and Ribs ($23 to $31), Chicken Critters and Ribs ($20 to $28), or Grilled BBQ Chicken paired with a 6 oz. sirloin ($20 to $28). Starters follow the same generous logic. The Cactus Blossom, a whole golden-fried onion with Cajun dipping sauce, feeds a table for roughly $7 to $12, and Rattlesnake Bites (jalapeño and jack cheese, $7 to $11) have a loyal following of their own.

Early Dine: the weeknight move

If your schedule bends that way, Early Dine is the smartest money on this page. On select weeknights, usually Monday through Thursday in the early evening hours, participating Texas locations offer a set list of dinners at a lower price, often around $13 to $15 for entrees like the 6 oz. sirloin, grilled BBQ chicken, or chicken critters with sides. The exact days, hours, and price differ by restaurant, and a few locations skip the program, so verify on your store's page or with a quick call. For families, weeknight Early Dine also means a calmer dining room and a shorter wait, which any parent will tell you is worth money too.

Feeding a crew: family packs and to-go

Texas-sized appetites travel well here. The to-go menu mirrors the dining room, and family-style packs built around ribs, chicken critters, or sirloin tips show up at many locations, bundled with rolls and sides for a group. Ordering through the official app or website lets you pick your exact store, watch the real prices, and time your pickup. Curbside pickup runs at most Texas restaurants. And yes, you can usually add an extra dozen fresh-baked rolls with cinnamon butter to a to-go order, which is the correct decision.

How to find your nearest Texas location

Start with the official Texas Roadhouse website or app and search by city or ZIP. In the big metros, you'll often get several results within a few miles, so look at the actual address rather than grabbing the first name that looks familiar. Pick your store, open its page, and you'll see current hours, the live menu, and the option to join the waitlist or place a to-go order. Calling ahead or joining the wait online before you leave the house is the single best habit for beating the dinner rush in Houston or DFW. Driving across state lines? The Arizona menu page and New York menu page follow the same approach for those states.

Texas questions, answered

Which Texas city has the most Texas Roadhouse locations?

The big metros lead the way. Houston and Dallas-Fort Worth each have many restaurants spread across their suburbs, followed by San Antonio and Austin. Smaller cities usually have one location that serves a wide area.

What is the cheapest steak dinner in Texas?

The Hand-Cut Sirloin is the entry point, starting around $13 for the smaller cut with two sides. During Early Dine hours at participating locations, a sirloin dinner can cost even less.

Do Texas locations serve prime rib every day?

Prime rib is typically a weekend feature, often Friday through Sunday while it lasts. Some high-volume stores roast more, but it can sell out, so earlier is safer.

Can I get Texas Roadhouse rolls to go in Texas?

Yes. Rolls come with dine-in meals and to-go orders, and most locations will sell extra rolls by the dozen with cinnamon butter when you ask at pickup or add them in the app.

Does every Texas restaurant charge the same prices?

No. Prices are set per restaurant and shift with local costs, so a Dallas steak and a Valley steak can differ by a dollar or two. Always confirm on your store's menu.

One more thing: prices drift across a big state

Texas is really several dining markets wearing one name. A sirloin in a Houston suburb, a ribeye in Lubbock, and a combo in El Paso can each sit a dollar or two apart, because rent, wages, and local costs differ that much. The ranges on this page are built to cover most of the state comfortably, but the store you're visiting sets the final numbers.

If you're comparing screenshots from friends in other cities, compare the same item, the same size, and the same sides before concluding one store is cheaper. The honest answer is usually that both are normal. When an exact number matters, for a big group order or a gift card budget, your restaurant's own menu page in the app is the only source worth trusting.
