What People Are Saying About Texas Roadhouse

Featured Review

In Short – With dozens of locations spread across most of the country, this faux-roadhouse chain has become a dependable spot for families in search of a casual spot for affordable steaks and down-home comfort fare. The playful menu is dotted with kid-friendly titles (chicken "critters," "road kill" chopped sirloin) and options (add caramel and marshmallow to a baked sweet potato for a dollar). In-house hand-cut steaks come in a plethora of cuts and sizes.

Editor's Tips

Know Before You Go:
On busy weekend nights, it's wise to use the restaurant's call-ahead seating option.

Dissappointed

Dissappointed:

I enjoy the food here and have been happy with the service until today. I brought in guests- a total of 8 and halfway through our visit, one guest forgot her cellphone in the bathroom. A staff walked into the bathroom as she was walking out. On reaching the table, she realized she had left her phone and immediately went back only to find it gone. We tried to call the phone and it rang once, then it was turned off. Our attempt to have the manager announce the loss through the public system was ignored more than once and when she eventually did it, it was in a dismissive way. I understand that she did not want to disturb the guests but I have never heard any guest complain about the birthday (& other) announcements that are so common here. The lack of concern and the dismissive way in which they treated us makes it unlikely that they will see me again any time soon.

Tender prime rib and ribeye steaks at half of steak house prices. Very good salads. Must call ahead to put your number in the reservation line.

This is my husband's favorite restaurant and is where we go to get a fix on meats. The prime rib and ribeyes are better than other restaurants and are almost as tender as those in fancy steak houses, but with about 1/2 the steak house price. Also good are the salads, baked sweet potatoe, and steak fries. Surprisingly the BBQ ribs and the burgers are inferior to other restaurants. Be aware that the BBQ chicken and ribs plate is served with chicken breast, and not 1/2 of a chicken. Finally ,desserts are huge and are very satifying. Try the Big-Ol Brownie (warmed, served with vanilla ice-cream). It would be better if the menu changed a bit.

  • Pros: great bread, steaks, prime rib, salads, desserts, reasonable price
  • Cons: Long waits during dinner time, has no tables to accomodate parties more than 7 or 8.

I have been to Texas Road house a couple of times and the food is awesome. The rolls with cinnamon butter are awesome and the salads are great. Tonight we just went for drinks. They were good. When we got our check we were charged for the flavor of the drinks?!?! WHAT? A dollar per drink for flavor?!?! Im already being charged for a drink why are they adding the extra dollar per drink?!??!?!? I DONT THINK ILL B GOING THERE AGAIN.

This place rules!

Hands down, the best steakhouse around in Boston outside of the pricey steakhouses in Boston, without the pretentiousness. The Roadhouse offers steak the size of a poodle depending on which cut you want. The baby back ribs are lovely - covered in great BBQ sauce, and indeed, fall off the bone good. The ribeye has such a nice flavor to it.

Easily the best house salad I've ever had...seriously (be sure to order it with everything on it - cheese, eggs, you name it, it's on there). And of course, that warm bread with the cinnamon butter everyone raves about.

If you're going to go, be sure to call ahead on the weekends - at least two hours in advance (they're always packed - which is a pretty good sign to it's quality). Be prepared for a loud place, but this place is best in groups anyway. A fun night out, and I would find it hard to believe if anyone here had left unsatisfied.

  • Pros: The food. Have never had a bad anything here.
  • Cons: The wait - be sure to call ahead, and the loud factor

As Seen In…
