Went to Dothan Texas Roadhouse today. Greeted nicely by front staff. Waited about 20 minutes to be seated. Once seated I waited about 5 minutes before anyone showed up. After getting our drink order, I place my meal order, and had to wait about 40 minutes for my meal. The only good part, the waitress kept the bread plentiful, but by the time I got my meal, I was full of bread! Good thing because the steak was overcooked, vegetables were disgusting, and the kids meals uneaten. My daughter ate the applesauce (guess that's good). The coke was awful; tasted like a mix of coke and Dr. Pepper. The whole time I was there, the waitress never said a word other than ordering. No managers stopped by. The music was so loud, even my kids complained. It felt worse than being at a bar/club. There are a lot of employees, which is why I don't understand why it is so slow. When I left, I had my hands full; holding a kid, to go plate, and a drink, yet none of the five front desk hostess offered to hold the door open. Seems like common courtesy, but maybe I'm wrong. I love Texas Roadhouse and was so excited it opened, but this service destroyed my excitement. I probably will not go back there, unless something major changes and I hear positive reviews. I don't think I've read one yet, but change can happen. Hope you change! read more

We are huge fans of the Texas Roadhouse, however this location always leaves us disappointed. The servers are friendly and willing to help but the food is usually not well prepared. We've gone and been served cold food several times and had steaks come out either over done or very rare. We must have been spoiled with the location we used to live by but won't be eating here again. read more

For $48.00 we ordered 2 pulled pork sandwiches that came out with the pulled pork smeared across the plate and a dried up sandwich bun to go with it. Looked liked dog slop. I wouldn't suggest eating here. read more

We stopped in here while on vacation. It was a great experience. We did the call ahead and it went smoothly. Our server, Harlie, was great and very attentive to the needs of our two young girls. Would stop here again! read more

I got a 10 oz ribeye it tasted like grilled pork and for medium well it was a little over cooked . I have to say worst steak I have ever had... waitress was great read more

Texas Roadhouse - Steakhouses Near Me - Dothan, Alabama

Just ate here last night to see what the hype is about (never been to a TR before). First off, it was PACKED, which is typically a good sign (meaning the food must be good or the drinks). Luckily since I am in the area for work, I was just by myself and could sit at the bar to avoid the (what I'm sure was) 30 minute wait. Both bartenders (I believe names were Julie and Tiffany) were extremely kind and curteous and didnt get made when I took my time to order and browse the menu. Got a Yuengling (which from growing up with PA native family is a Lager to us, threw Julie off a bit) a 6oz rare sirloin w/ corn and a sweet potato and a caeser salad: Corn was just okay. Sweet potato was good, just couldnt finish it all. Salad have minimal croutons and was mainly stem romaine and not leafy. Beer was big and cold. Sirloin seemed a bit small but was cooked perfectly. All in all I'd give it a 5 for service and atmosphere, took a star based on the kitchen products. read more

ARRIVE AT 5! Go early especially on a Friday! I've been to this restaurant 3x each time it gets better, the atmosphere is positive, great service, every time - we are in and out within an hour, they have military discount and show support. Good side selection - cuts of meat are fair portions are fair, I'm a fan of the shrimp. Rolls are always fluffy and fresh! Bring a jacket it gets chilly, I can't mark negative on that, I love the cold! read more

See all

We had a party of 8 and were seated within 10 minutes. After the drink order was placed it took a while to get the drinks (sodas and waters). My husband asked for some sweet n low twice once when we placed the order and again when we received our order. Finally another person brought him the sweet n low. Meanwhile for some reason the waitress had not written down or placed our sons food order and he had to wait once again for his order and two of my grandkids had to wait for honey mustard dipping sauce. The food was good the wait for food reaching the table ridiculous and the service was unacceptable. read more

waited hour and 15 minutes 8 oz filet was butterflyd and was raw not rare was ordered med won't go back

The food was good, the floors were FILTHY! I don't mean the usual peanut shells, I mean actual FOOD left on the floor while patrons had to walk on and over it. We had a fork under our table that I finally managed to kick out of the way and the booth across from us had pieces of bread ground into the floor in front of it. It was so unappetizing that we won't be back. On the way out I noticed our section wasn't the only one. Spoke to a girl at the front and she said they don't bother to sweep up food off the floor. REALLY? Makes you wonder what the kitchen looks like....even though the health rating was good, the inspectors are not there every day. Gross. Lots cleaner places to eat in Dothan that don't let food accumulate on their floors. Makes for a very unpleasant eating experience! read more

Just don't. The bar staff is awful. On a Sunday if you're party less than 4 bc the service is awful. The girls at the bar also need to learn not to give dirty looks. read more

We came here on Saturday evening 12/17/16 & waited 150-20 minutes for a table. Waitress was friendly & took our drink orders then brought out rolls with our drinks. I requested regular butter. She forgot twice, then brought out sour cream by mistake. No biggie, we let her know and she was happy to change it. We both ordered steak medium well, not butterflied or pressed. When we got them, my filet was rare. She sent it back and apologized, then after my husband & child had eaten, my steak came back out, again, red with some blood in the middle, definitely not medium well. More like medium rare. Waitress agreed & called a manager over who offered to send it back a 3rd time. I said never mind, I just want to leave. It had been a long time and My child's attention span after almost 2 hours was wearing thin. The manager took it off my bill and sent me home with a steak. I just checked it & it's still medium rare. Not edible in my opinion. If I ever do go back I will be eating anything but steak! I'll go to Conestoga if I want a steak done right. I'll also be re-gifting any gift cards given to me for this place. Sadly, my dinner left me very disappointed. You should never have to send a steak back, but especially not 3 times! The waitress was apologetic and friendly. She was the only highlight of our evening at Texas Roadhouse in Dothan. read more

We've been to this roadhouse plenty of times and loved it but tonight was a different story. We arrive and got to the hostess stand and they direct us to another hostess stand. This hostess never even looked up from her tablet and said "how many" with attitude. I told her 2, she asked for our name and phone number. I provide it but I guess said the number a little fast for her. She rudely interrupted and asked me to repeat it slower. So I did. We go outside to wait. I get a text within 2 minutes. We go back to the hostess stand and they said "sad if for 4?" Because it was just my husband I standing there. I told them it was for 2. They decided to seat us because it was a mess up. No big deal. We were going to sit us at an awkwardly shaped table so I asked to be seated somewhere else. The young girl that walked us back was very nice about it and said of course. We got to the hostess stand and the girl leaned over and yelled "thats all we have unless you want to wait" i said "no big deal. We can wait" so we finally got seated. We waited for 10ish minutes, our server finally came, his name was Storm. he takes our drink order and I ask that when he brings the rolls to bring regular butter and as we're about to give him our appetizer order he walks away. 30 MINUTES LATER my husband gets his unsweet tea. I still haven't gotten my drink. He goes and disappears again. 10 minutes later he brings my drink and rolls, only cinnamon butter. He takes our appetizer and food order. I'm not sure how long we waited for food but it was about 10ish minutes I believe. No appetizer comes out. Wrong gravy on my mashed potatoes and my husbands "medium rare" steak was still cold on the inside. I asked for a replacement mashed potato and gravy. We didnt see the server again until he brought us our ticket. My husband asked for to go boxes and my mashed potatoes. We get both and finally pay and leave. Now some may sat I'm being nitpicky but when every table around us that was seated at the same time or after is getting all of their things before us it's very frustrating. Our server just didn't give af. read more

We went while we came from FL because of hurricane Irma. We had awesome steaks, our waiter was very friendly and knowledgeable. If you are a steak and potatoes type person you will really like it!!! Our food came in surprisingly fast! Nice atmosphere for a low key dinner outing read more

Oh hell no. This place is a disaster. We came for happy hour but then decided to sit at a table, which was probably the worst idea of my life. Our appetizer came out AFTER the food, and it wasn't even right. Then, in the middle of my already unclassy meal, I witnessed a drug deal right behind me. I love Dothan. read more

Pretty horrible. Sat for 10 mins and no one acknowledged us. I found a manager and told her we were waiting. She came over offered us free app. We declined. She offered is 10% off bill, it was just downhill. Our drinks were never refilled, saltine crackers with chili were stale, ordered medium steak, was well done. Brought our check before we could finish and we had wanted dessert. Decided it was time to leave. I gave 2 stars simply for the rolls and cinnamon butter :) read more

My husband, Tom, and I enjoy eating out. Of late, we have become more critical. Perhaps it's because we're in our mid to upper sixties. Perhaps it's because we expect whatever we order to be better or at least different than what can prepare at home. Granted, we aren't eating at restaurants who offer an obscure cuisine - but more common fares, like steakhouses, Chinese restaurants, and Mexican restaurants. Today we ate at a new steakhouse restaurant in a nearby town. Because my husband loves, loves, loves steak, I thought it would be a nice treat since we've been pretty busy lately. The parking lot at 11:15 in the morning, a mere fifteen minutes after they unlocked the doors, was packed. We walked in and were immediately greeted with loud music (a pet peeve of mine) and a cubby lined with hard benches for those who had the foresight to arrive earlier than we did. I was given a buzzer and told it would be about fifteen minutes. I didn't buy it, but we decided to wait anyway. There were menus available while we waited - what a good idea! - and I began to peruse what was available. I quickly found the salad section and, though the name was different, I found one of my favorites - Black and Blue Salad - strips of perfectly cooked steak, fresh lettuce (I prefer a spring mix or other healthy green), tomatoes, red onion, blue cheese, and croutons. My dressing of choice would be some olive oil and balsamic vinegar and a little salt and pepper. The restaurant had their take on my beloved Black and Blue and it was pretty standard, dare I say blah? The steak was unseasoned, the Romaine lettuce was fine, but as I said I prefer a healthier green, but was grateful it wasn't head lettuce. The tomatoes were sadly not very tomatoe-y ... with all the local farmer's markets, I was shocked at the pale color of the minutely diced hothouse variety of tomatoes. After having tomatoes from roadside stands that dot the entire community, I was pretty bummed by the flavorless tomatoes I was served. There was plenty of bleu cheese, for which I am eternally grateful - it is my go to cheese! There was a smattering of croutons which had more flavor than I expected. I think the salad dressing was the biggest disappointment - the menu said homemade and again ... blah, blah, blah. The menu said it came with Italian, but I was served creamy Italian which I would have changed. I hate creamy Italian and theirs was, by far, one of the worse I've ever had. No flavor. I don't think I've ever - in my entire life - had to add salt and pepper to my salad dressing!!! So, let's move onto Tom's experience. First of all, when the waitress arrived, she asked if he wanted to order an appetizer, he surprised me by saying, "Yes." We rarely order appetizers, preferring to save our caloric intake for our meal. He then ordered a steak (no surprise there!) and selected his two sides - a side salad and a baked sweet potato. We were a little taken aback when his side salad arrived before his appetizers. The appetizer arrived before he finished his salad and very shortly thereafter, his steak/potato and my salad arrived. He pushed his appetizers aside to eat his steak. He told me the appetizers were pretty greasy and again, not much flavor. In their defense, all the food in the appetizer combo were deep-fried and covered in cheese. Tom would have eaten more than one of the potato skins and more of the hot wings had his meal not arrived. We thought it was odd to receive his salad before the appetizer and that his meal was served before he could even finish the appetizer. But, his steak was perfectly cooked, though seriously lacking seasoning. And, the butter for his sweet potato was nothing except processed grease ... why do restaurants insist on serving a Country Crock-type of margarine instead of real butter? I'd pay extra for real butter. So, there you have it ... oh, I could have prepared a fabulous dinner for six with the money we spent on lunch today. When we left, I asked Tom to rate the restaurant on a scale of one to five, five being awesome. Tom = 2 / Me = 1.75 A Facebook friend suggested another roadhouse ... we'll try that one next. read more

Good place to go for a good steak and a good margarita. I really like their ranch dressing and can't find anywhere else where it tastes the same! Wish there were more healthy options but when you go to any Texas Roadhouse you know what you're getting! Good ole southern food. A nice safe option whenever you're not feeling adventurous. read more

The drinks could have been better. Had to send them back to get remade but other then that, the food was good. Steaks were cooked perfect, the steak knifes on the other hand need to be sharpened or replaced, they were extremely dull. Our waitress was good though, checked on is throughout the meal and kept our water glasses full. read more

Dirty and slow. Give them a few months to get it together before you try it. The flies in the dining room REALLY bothered me.

Best bread! They give you bread and cinnamon butter when you sit down. *drools* Its scrumptious! Great food and great service. Food is reasonably priced and definitely worth the price. Steak is so good! Logan's Roadhouse is going to have some competition. It was very similar but I think I'll choose Texas Roadhouse over Logan's any day. BETTER FOOD, BETTER SERVICE. Double thumbs-up Texas Roadhouse. Welcome to Dothan! :) read more

When I leave this review I'm being completely honest. My boyfriend and I went to this place around dinner time. Of course as I expected a wait time which I was perfect with I knew I was going to wait! So we went into the place and the lady rudely yells "how many" and I said 2 she said 30 minute wait. She said "can I get a number?" And I gave her my boyfriends number. We went back out to his car and we waited and waited and waited. I started to think did I give the wrong number? Well I kept seeing a lot of others walk in at the same time and not come back out so I began to think the lady gave our table away. I called into the store and ask did I leave the wrong number? The lady said just come in. So we came in and I quickly got very aggravated. The lady at the front said again rudely, how many?? And I said 2 she said okay 35 minute wait. I said no we just got told to come in. Then the lady ignored us and started parting with some people walking out being all over them and being loud with them. I was very frustrated now because it was very unprofessional of her to do that and not only that call me in and then tell me to leave. Anyways so we proceeded through the door to where the women who sits you are at and they all gave us a very rude look and said can we help you? I said yes she said for us to come in. The lady stated yelling at the other who let us in super loud. It was very unprofessional they tried to tell me to wait another 45 minutes. I said never mind we will gladly find somebody else and I will speak to your manager about this. Then that is when they became nice and offered our seats to sit down after I said I'll call their managers. Super unprofessional. I will gladly say longhorn steakhouse made my night 100x better that night and if your looking for good food head there. This place is ran by trashy people and trashy service. read more

Went there on a Friday night, not because I wanted to, but because it was my niece's 16th birthday and that's where she wanted to eat. Arrived at 5:30. The place was packed because it is Dothan's newest restaurant and everybody has to try it right now. We were a party of 8. There was no room to wait inside so we had to wait outside. There had been a recent rain and the benches were wet. My brother went inside to inform the hostess that someone needed to dry the benches so the multitudes of people (25+) could sit down. She handed him a towel so he could wipe them down ourselves. Wrong answer. He doesn't work for Texas Roadhouse. She later came out and dropped dowels on each of the benches and went back inside. Not once did anybody offer to take drink orders, offer appetizers, or give an approximation of how much longer the wait would be. After a two hour wait, we were seated. The waiter was very knowledgeable and very pleasant. He met every request with a smile and a can do attitude. The food however left a great deal to desire. I ordered the Country Fried Sirloin. When it arrived, it was as large as the plate. Seriously. Unfortunately the meat underneath the breading was only about 1/3 that size. No kidding, I threw away a lot of breading that wasn't attached to any meat. The white gravy was sweet. Cake batter sweet. Disgusting. Three of us had the white gravy and all three had the same reaction simultaneously. "is this really supposed to be sweet?" My two sides were Chili and Caesar salad. My chili had way too much Cumin, which is saying something since I really like Cumin. The Caesar was dull and flavorless. Others in my party were equally unhappy with their meal. I polled the table and asked everybody to rank their meal on a scale of 1-10. I got: 3, 8, 8, 4, 5, 5, 5, 4, 6. That's an average of 6. Needless to say, Texas Roadhouse won't be on my list of places to eat in the future. read more

I had the 16oz prime rib with corn and mash potatoes and it was delicious. The lady that took my order over the phone was simply delightful and helpful, the bread was awesome, hot and fluffy fresh. I look forward to trying a different meal in the near future. Yum Yum David F read more

My husband and I love Texas Roadhouse and have never had a bad experience, until we ate at this location last night. We did the online waitlist and still had to wait quite a while for our table. Our food was mediocre at best, as it was brought out cold and not prepared correctly. Our waitress was great, however there were numerous employees standing around at the check in desk with seemingly nothing to do even though the restaurant was packed. I absolutely do not recommend. read more

Just had lunch here on a Saturday. The restaurant was very busy but they handled it great! We waited for nothing! Seated immediately. Ordered appetizer with drinks and it arrived within minutes! Salads came right out and meal followed before we had opportunity to finish salads. The food was all delicious and at correct temperature. Mindy was an efficient and kind server and did a great job taking care of us. read more

We've always been big Texas Roadhouse fans and we were excited when we heard they're coming to Dothan. We've been a handful of times since they opened and the service just hasn't been great. We're hoping they get their kinks worked out and we'll enjoy the Texas Roadhouse we used to love. read more

Visiting Alabama for the first time. Wanted a steak, so we came here. We had Nick as our server... OMG excellent service!! The staff was extremely friendly. Management was very accommodating. The food was to die for. The steaks are great! potatoes were wonderful. Don't be misled by any negative reviews this place is great to eat at. True southern hospitality! read more

This is my most favorite place to go. The steaks are great the people are awesome and the atmosphere is exactly as I expected for a road house grill. I eat here ever chance I get. read more

They need to slow down when it's busy, and check those steaks! That's the food business though. (I'm picky about my steaks...) These guys rock and roll, and I love my snakebites. read more

If you like going out to eat to be told they are out of items once again this is the place to go. I understand you run out of items during busy times but for a third time. This seems to be the norm for Texas Roadhouse. We waited 15 minutes to be seated which is reasonable, had we been told upfront that they were out of items, we would have gone else where and not waited. read more

Love everything about this place....delicious food always done just as I ordered and wonderful service!!!

Ive heard a lot about this restaurant. I just dont get it. The staff were very pushy and that made the whole dining experience very unsatisfying. The food was bland the steak was very salty but the peanuts were good. read more

Came back after about 8 months an the food and service has improved again. Food was cooked properly this time and the server Fletcher was very nice. read more

Food is always good, service is great. We love the atmosphere, it's noisy enough we feel comfortable taking our 3 kids. We love the bread!

We visited Texas Roadhouse on Saturday. Waited 10 minutes to be seated when there was many empty tables. Ordered half a rack of ribs. They were so dry and tough. Definitely not fall off the bone as waitress promised. Couldn't even finish the meal. Spent $50. On 2meals. Walked away frustrated and hungry. read more

I generally love Texas Roadhouse but this time the food just wasn't up to par granted it was on father's day but it's still not what I expected from such a generally great establishment read more

I hold Texas Roadhouse on top of my list of great places to eat.... That is why I took my wife to my there for her birthday yesterday. I told the hostess on our way to our table it was my wifes birthday. Told the waitress as she came to take our drink orders. Shortly after this the staff and everyone reconized the young lady at the table beside our table for her birthday. At this time I told the employ we reconized this young lady that today was my wifes birthday also to which she sort of laughed. Told two more staff members of her birthday and nothing happened. I guess this is not really important but if you're going to recognize one person you should recognize all. Trivial I suppose but I wanted to recognize my wonderful wife on her birthday and let others help me to do it. Meal was GREAT as always. My wife got a little upset that they started sweeping the floor around us and stated she could not believe it and she did not want the dust off of that dirty carpet flying up onto her food. read more
