Greg Towers
We had a good experience here. My Margarita was great and the ribs were good. The free peanuts are a plus. The side mac and cheese was a sorry excuse for Mac and cheese, it was about on the same level as Kraft. Overall, I would recommend Texas Roadhouse (besides the Mac and cheese) and I’m sure we will visit again.

I had a great experience. I came here with a friend on 2/6/25. I got the country fried sirloin and he got the 16 oz sirloin steak medium rare. Our only complaints were that we were charged for a “loaded” baked potato, which only came with sour cream on it, and the portion of steak fries was rather small for Texas Roadhouse. The service was wonderful! I will definitely be coming again.

The only reason for the four stars is that their portion sizes have shrunk. The sirloin fried steak used to take up the whole plate. Now, as you can see by the pic, it only takes up half of the plate. The bacon cheese fries were awesome, and the food was delicious. As always, the rolls and butter or delicious. Our server was great.

The food was amazing! The staff was friendly and attentive. The decor is typical steak house.

This place is like what the chain restaurants used to be like in the 90s and 2000s. It's loud and alive. Huge staff. The steaks are the best I've ever had from a chain and better than a lot of the dedicated steakhouses you can find. I had the bone in ribeye and it was grilled rare/medium- rare to perfection. The prices are more than reasonable. I don't have a single negative thing to say about the place. Can't wait to go back.

We had a double date with my parents. It was very busy and would have been an hour wait, but they found us a spot at the bar. The bartenders were fast and friendly. Even though it was very busy, our food came fast. The prime rib was one of the best I have ever had. What a wonderful place to dine!

I have eaten at the Texas Roadhouse sometimes during the last couple of years and it was OK. I went to Texas Roadhouse last night after three years. The food quality and taste degraded a lot since last time I was there, that I decided to edit this review. I ordered 16 oz sirloin, the taste was awful, the meat texture was terrible, when eating it, was like chewing a piece of plastic. The fries were too salty, that you could not even eat it. Three years ago, I would say Texas Roadhouse was a decent place and food was OK, and I gave it 3 stars, but now if there was no star option, I would have used that and literally the food was terrible, and I am truly sad that a decent restaurant became like this. This is an honest feed black, and I hope they care enough to keep a higher standard for their food quality and service. The photo is from three years ago, when the food was good.

Our table of four ate dinner on February 26th in a booth in the bar area.It was around 5:10 when we were seated. The food was good and came out fast. The salmon was tender, the new york cooked well and the chicken was tasty. Unfortunately our service lacked. We held our salad plates up to our chests to finish when out entrees came out since there was no room on the table. A second glass of wine didn't come until the meal was finished. No plates were cleared unless we handed them to the waitress. At the end of the meal when paying, we stacked the plates to make room for signing the ticket. We felt rushed and cramped at our table full of empty dishes.
