We visited Texas Roadhouse in Belton MO on 07-28-2026 about 3:05 pm. Parking was plentiful at this time and there are several handicapped spaces for those needing them.
We were greeted as we entered the restaurant, and the lady said she would be right back to seat us in a couple minutes. This restaurant opens at 3:00 pm on Monday-Thursday so there were a few people, three groups, in front of us. They got everyone seated in a reasonable amount of time, about five minutes for us, and have seating available while waiting.
We brought a guest with us who has been visiting from Colombia. This was his first visit to a Texas Roadhouse.
The restaurant was clean as were the tables.
Texas Roadhouse has bags of peanuts in a small bucket on the table for guests to eat as they prefer. If you want more peanuts, just let them know and they readily and happily bring you more bags. They also provide their rolls with honey butter and those also are unlimited.
The server, Joseph, was prompt, friendly, attentive, courteous and professional.
I ordered the full rack of ribs that comes with two sides. My selections were the caeser salad and steamed vegetables (broccoli & carrots). The ribs were good though a bit dry for my preference, seasoned well, with the bones easily coming off the ribs (or the ribs coming easily off the bones). The caeser salad was very fresh, cold, a nice size, with a good complement of cheese and dressing as well as five nicely seasoned and crisp croutons. The broccoli & carrots were nicely steamed, fresh and good quantity.
My wife had the eight ounce salmon that comes with two sides. Her selections were the garden salad with Italian dressing (comes on the side) and the steamed vegetables. Her salmon was cooked perfectly, nice flaking of the flesh, good moisture inside, nice seasoning. Salad was nice and cold, fresh. Steamed vegetables were cooked perfectly, not overcooked and mushy, nor undercooked or raw.
Our guest ordered the half rack of ribs that comes with two sides. His choices were the garden salad with Italian dressing (comes on the side) and a very nice heaping small bowl of seasoned rice. He enjoyed his ribs, said they were delicious. His salad was fresh and cold. The seasoned rice was tasty and plentiful.
The manager came by and mentioned he had something special for our guest since it was his first time at Texas Roadhouse. It was a plate with three bowls, one with mashed potatoes, one with the Texas red chili, and one with green beans. He (manager) said this was an opportunity to try some of their other sides to consider for future visits. They were full versions of all three so I said it was good he got the half slab of robs rather than the full slab! In addition he was given a Texas Roadhouse coolie can holder and a card for a free appetizer on his next visit. Looks like we will be visiting TR again for him since he liked it so much anyway!
The server was very good without being intrusive. He made sure our drinks were filled (we all had waters this time) and he remembered how much ice we each wanted. He also brought napkins and wet naps for the ribs and made sure we had plenty.
Our guest was pleasantly surprised when the TR dancers did their thing in the aisles every once in awhile. It provides a nice break from talk and everything else without being a bother, not real loud but enough volume for you know they are dancing. Otherwise, sound level in the restaurant was fine for talking and being able to hear those at our table.
To pay, they have the machines at the table where you can play some games (we did not) and pay your bill, or you can pay the server, your choice. We paid the server and he readily and properly processed everything and made sure all was well.
The restrooms were clean and well lit. Plenty of paper towels and drying off opportunity.
As we left, several employees said varying things such as thank you for coming, have a good afternoon/evening, hope to see you again. Nice as they did not sound robotic.
When we left, the parking lot was almost full as was the restaurant, so it is definitely good to arrive prior to 4:30 pm on a weekday of possible. read more
