This was our first time @ Texas Roadhouse, and it did not disappoint! The iconic steak house chain serves up some of the best steaks and ribs in town, not to mention their freshly made sides and baked bread rolls 11/10! The bread was absolutely the best I've ever had!!! No reservations. Walk-ins only. Our party of 14 was quoted 1 hour of wait time. It only took about 30 minutes to be seated (not bad, considering we were a large group). The hostess was nice and amicable, she kept us informed on our wait time and seated us promptly! The vibe was definitely lively! Love the western decor (the deer head was a nice touch). The food on the other hand was absolutely the highlight of our dining experience. I ordered the 20 oz. bone in ribeye steak 10/10- medium. The steak was cooked to perfection (nicely charred on the outside, evenly warm and pink on the inside). Nice marbling of fat as well. My wife ordered the 6 oz. sirloin steak with shrimp skewers 10/10- well done (I know, she likes her meat burnt, sadly). For sides, we ordered the loaded mash, mac n cheese, and caesar salad. The loaded mash was rich, comforting, creamy, and savory 10/10! Overall, we had an exceptional time. We will definitely be back sooner than later. If you have yet to try this place, definitely do, you will not be disappointed! read more

I love Texas Roadhouse for an affordable steak dinner and some amazing apps/sides. Drinks here are also crazy cheap. Only downside is that you can expect to wait almost any time of day on weekends and during typical dining hours on weekdays, and in a similar vein it will always be loud and busy. The servers are so hospitable, but as they are serving a lot of tables, I would try to be as accommodating as possible. Shoutout to our server Gali, who is kind and warm and the best! The food is always great. The pork rib appetizer is pretty good, comes with four bones on a bed of fries if a party wants to share just a bit each. We've enjoyed the fried pickles before but it can be a little on the salty side. Similarly, depending on the day the rice/chili/steak can be a little heavily salted, so if you are sensitive to sodium I would make that clear to your server. I always get a sirloin (can't beat the price) with a cup of chili and a baked potato. The sirloin here is very good for what it is, and rarely ever overdone, nice and juicy. The chili has no beans but is nicely savory with lots of beef flavor. They have A1 if you want and ask. Always get extra rolls. They will even give you some to take home. Delicious with their whipped cinnamon butter. read more

I have not been to Texas Roadhouse in a very long time. We decided to come here for dinner, on a Friday night! Wait time was 45 minutes we did not mind waiting. We sat at the bar area . Only bad thing was they had other tables with kids at the bar area. We had garden salad , shrimp , chicken &steak with sweet potato. Great portions and price ! Drinks were good. The warm bread with the cinnamon butter is a MUST!!!! I had way too many! So yummy!!!!! Place was a bit loud if you want to have a quiet conversation over dinner this isn't the place for that . I had a great time server was attentive provided Service was great. read more

Texas Roadhouse in El Cajon is one of my favorite places to eat. The service is always fast, and the staff is consistently friendly and welcoming. Even when they're busy, I've always had a good experience. And of course, the bread is one of the best parts. It always comes out warm, soft, and fresh, especially with the cinnamon butter. Definitely a place I'll keep coming back to. read more

Decided to try Texas roadhouse for dinner Saturday night. Wish I knew prior but I recommend you join their waitlist prior to showing up or it'll be a wait. Took us about 35-45 min to be sat. The restaurant was loud and lively. Customer service was AWESOME, but unfortunately I have mixed emotions about the meal. To start the appetizers tasted like those frozen items you can buy at ur local grocery store. My steak was over seasoned but my chicken was cooked to a perfection. I can see why people love their bread and butter, it's made in house so it tastes delicious, a bit too sweet for me. I give the experience a 6/10, really expected more from the food. read more

Came here right as they opened on a weekday for the lunch specials they have. The waitress who helped us was great, very proactive and helpful. The food was really good and came out quickly. I love the atmosphere of this place. I made sure to grab a bag of peanuts before I left! read more

Haven't been to a Texas Roadhouse in YEARS. I had to return something at the mall next door so planned to go here while in the area. Saturday afternoons are PACKED with family's. The wait outside and in was crazy. Luckily, it was only my husband and I able to find seats at the bar. I forget how oversized everything is here. Strawberry lemonade was massive but so good. I ordered the shrimp with mashed potatoes, veggies. So good, so filling! The sweet woman at the bar was super attentive and friendly. It was a bit drive away but we will probably be coming back now that we know this is the closest to us. read more

Unfortunately, the Texas Roadhouse in SanDiego, California does not even come close to the quality of food & price you receive and pay for in Texas. Amongst other items on the menu in the SD, California Texas Roadhouse, their meat selections, in particular--the chicken fried steak is absolutely unpalatable due to the overwhelming amount of salt used!! The pseudo chef gets a solid F-minus in the poultry & bovine category. Also, Getting served a drink in a timely manner is definitely out-the-window; whoever the bartender was, certainly was not liberal with the drinks either--we got served the watered down version. Sorry for the low score on ratings.....just callin' a spade a spade. read more

I've been here a few times and love it. Service has been great and food always as expected. I just love the fun vibes and the comfort food at Texas Roadhouse. Steaks were always cooked how I like it, the loaded baked potato always hits the spot and their amazing rolls! 10/10, always want to come back again. read more

Been here twice! First time got the Country Fried Steak dish which was a lil too salty in my opinion. I remember wanting to like that, and as of this recent trip: ordered the Fillet Medallion (medium-style). Everything worked well with the steak and the seasoned rice, as well as the mashed potatoes and gravy they provided; Can't go wrong with their complementary bread rolls with butter either. I usually find myself coming to Texas Roadhouse with a group of friends, but aside from that it's a little out of the way for me. read more

The online waitlist helps soooo much so that we dont have to wait at the restaurant for over an hour as the wait could become that long for Texas Roadhouse. We recieved a text message when they were ready for us to check in at the front and from there they put you on a number and you wait for your hostess to see you to your table with your first basket of bread and cinnamon butter. The bread and cinnamon butter are unlimited and they are so addicting. The wait staff at this location are always super nice. And while waiting I always enjoy looking around at the cowboy in Texas themed lights and artwork. My favorite sides is usually the chili and the butter corn. The steak has been a mix so far. I usually order a medium rare and last time it was a little bit overcooked cell but this time they did the medium rare perfectly. I also tried the country Fried steak which was delicious but I will warn that it's a little bit on the too salty side so I was only able to eat half. I don't know if this is a consistent flavoring or just this one time. The chili is delicious and the reason why I made the comment about the salt for the country fried steak is because one time the chili was a bit on the salty side but this time was perfect. I also want to highlight how genuinely the staff wants to make your experience good at the restaurant. This last visit they didn't have a certain cut of steak but he was ready to offer other options. We were disappointed but really appreciated the effort. I can't wait to come again read more

am writing to share a highly disappointing experience I had with your El Cajon location today. My experience began when I attempted to place an order online, but your system completely froze during the process. Because the online system failed, I drove over to the restaurant and placed my order directly at the window. I was told it would take 25 minutes, so I sat down and waited patiently. While my order was ready exactly on time, the food quality when I arrived home was completely unacceptable. I ordered the 5 oz salmon dinner, but the fish was overcooked, incredibly dry, and completely missing the tartar sauce that was supposed to be poured over it. Furthermore, when I went to cut open my baked potato, it was completely hard and entirely uncooked. The only edible part of the entire meal was the house salad. Given the technical issues with the website, the 25-minute wait, and the poor quality of the entree, this was far below the standard I expect from Texas Roadhouse. read more

I visited the Texas Roadhouse in El Cajon, California with my family over the weekend, and we had a truly wonderful time. If you are seeking great service, delicious food, and a lively, welcoming atmosphere, this place absolutely delivers. The ambiance is really pleasant, and it does feel like a little slice of a country restaurant or country club you might find back in Texas somewhere. They offer a big variety on the menu (Texas Size) plenty of drinks, appetizers, entrées, and desserts. Now, you know their homemade rolls they bring to the table are incredible! I actually managed to maintain my temptation and only have two rolls since I did not want to feel so full I could not eat my entree. I ordered the steak medallions, which came on a skewer with vegetables and a medley of rice which was absolutely delicious. My family members tried various steak and chicken dishes, and everyone was happy with their meals. The service was fantastic. Our waitress, Sydney, was friendly and professional. She kept our drinks refilled without us having to ask and made sure we had everything we needed. After the meal, she asked if we wanted dessert, and we decided to share one, which was a nice touch. One of the most special parts is that when someone has a birthday, the staff does a little dance at the table with their cute cowboy hats and boots . It really adds to the fun, festive, and country-style atmosphere and makes you feel like you're in a cozy spot somewhere deep in Texas. Overall, if you want excellent food, a great variety, and a lively, welcoming vibe, Texas Roadhouse is the place to be. Yeehaw!" read more

Got seated quickly, service was fast, waitress was great and the food was excellent as always.

My daughter treated me to an early dinner. This is her first time here. I had been to Texas Road house before but in the East Coast. When we arrived, it was quite busy but got seated quickly and ordered our food. Our waiter was Ballerina, she is the sweetest!!! She's very nice, attentive and has great customer service etiquette. They have early diner specials! It is from Monday through Thursday 3pm to 5pm, Friday 11am to 5pm. $14.99 for selected entree with two sides. They also have a special on Wild West Wednesdays $17.99 for 8oz sirloin steak with two sides. We ended up getting the $14.99 deal. We choose the 6oz sirloin steak (medium) with two sides. We had the mash potatoes and green beans. They were soooo good! Great flavor and came out piping hot! The steak was cooked perfectly. We also had unsweetened tea and water; their water was so refreshing. It does not taste like tap water lol. I like that they chilled their glasses, definitely helps on a hot day! Ballerina gave us some rolls and peanuts to go. She's so precious. Plenty of parking, located in the same lot as Parkway Plaza, Aldi and Bestbuy. Lots of tables and seats. Family friendly restaurant. Clean, neat and tidy restaurant. Overall, great experience for my daughter's first time at Texas Road house and we will definitely come back. read more

The food at Texas roadhouse was good. Every single thing the steak had that barbecue flavor like charcoal and the salad is my favorite with all the little extras. I enjoy going there and I don't know why so many people put it down. The price is really good and it's just a great place. read more

Visited earlier today, ordered the ribeye (medium) with bbq ribs and loaded potatoes with chili. The food was amazing- like all of it especially with the price point. Steak was cooked perfectly. Service was great and I enjoyed every bit of it. Im coming back in the future no doubt and highly recommend this establishment. Don't forget the bread with the apple butter. That was immaculate too. read more

I have not been to Texas Roadhouse in a very long time. We decided to come here for an early dinner, a really early dinner. We beat the dinner rush by coming early but by the time we were ready to leave, around 6 it was pretty busy. Place was clean. We sat at the bar and to my surprise they had early dinner specials. Yay! We had the chicken Cesar's salad, fries and the steak with sweet potato. Drinks were good. It was pretty good but could have used a bit more dressing. The warm bread with the cinnamon butter is a MUST!!!! I had way too many! So yummy!!!!! Service was great. Bartender was attentive and super sweet. Wish I would have gotten her name. read more

Oh ya! Definitely a great chain option. Join the waitlist online before arriving for a smooth expense. Visited on a Sunday afternoon and things weren't too crowded at first. Service was super attentive and personable. Food came out fresh with massive portions. Enjoyed the chicken and ribs combo. All the sauces and sides were outstanding. Classic Texas vibes inside in terms of music and decor. read more

It's Texas Roadhouse... you should know kinda what to expect. We had an amazing server who made it fun. There are free peanuts at the table. But you go here to get full and eat, it isn't gourmet it isn't fancy or super asthetically pleasing. But it hits the spot. read more

Finally got to try this place out! I came with my family on a Sunday after shopping at the mall. We were lucky to get a good parking spot. Lucky again for no wait time. This restaurant is pretty big! They gave us free peanuts when we entered! That's so nice! Along with fresh baked rolls. The rolls are the star of the show FYI. I could've eaten them all to myself!! It came with the maple-honey butter. Our server was amazing! Shout out to Ajani (?) aka John Cena for really making this a positive experience. I had mentioned I didn't have a great experience at the other location and he really did do his diligence in providing a good experience here. He gave us recommendations and was very friendly. I got the steak medallions, sub rice to chili (very good), side of steak fries (good to me my man wasn't a fan), and mashed potatoes (tasty). They offered two gravies I couldn't decide he was so kind and offered me each flavor in a sauce cup to eat with it! There was actually a third sauce but not sure what it was. I ended up liking the traditional beef gravy. My man got the dinner plate that had a steak, ribs, and he chose Mac and cheese for his side. This is the first time I didn't try any of his food so can't rate it. I was definitely getting stuffed. We both got fruit flavored lemonades and he also was ready with the next cup before we ran out. Overall, I really enjoyed this location. The manager I believe, also came and provided us a ticket for a free appetizer at our next visit because it was our first times not sure if they generally do that or if they really intended to make me have a better experience. Which they obviously succeeded! And I was not expecting that at all! We also were given extra bread to go! Soo good I can't wait to get those again. I'll be back and def wanna try the fried pickles. Also, they have booster chairs and booster seats! How cool! read more

Had the prime rib (16oz about $35 or so), chili, shrimp, loaded baked potato, and mushrooms. The only thing I didn't love was the mushrooms, one of my included sides, as I felt they were a bit over salted (didn't know that was possible). The free rolls with sweet butter was a great freebie. Excellent food and value and my service was great. Warning: This place is, I'm guessing, always busy. I went on a Monday(!) at about 630 and there was a wait but I was able to immediately get a single at the bar so it worked out for me. It got busier. I know they have a call in wait list. Smart idea. Is it Steak 48? No, but then last time I took my wife there it was a few hundred dollars so.... Too bad it's not closer. read more

Had a gals night out at Texas Roadhouse. We came early to avoid the long wait times. We weren't disappointed. We took advantage of the early bird specials and were seated within 10 minutes of arriving. The wait staff were great, food was good and the unlimited rolls were amazing. We got to witness someone celebrating their birthday which is always fun to watch. Seeing people waving their napkin in the air while riding a sawhorse. . The atmosphere is casual, a little loud which drowns out other peoples conversations. Great place for family gatherings and is affordable. I had the 6 oz sirloin with baked potato and a Caesar salad. If you haven't tried Texas Roadhouse you need to put it on your list to try. read more

Always wanted to try this place; mixed reviews from various people we know but I wanted to make my own opinion. So. Place looked packed upon arrival but the young lady said "can seat you now". Figured for 2 it'd be a small table - but we got a big booth- wow! What a menu & so many choices it's like you need a lot of time (but Sydney was 5 star even before I told her it's our first time) the rolls and butter along with the water that arrived was fast while we continued to decide. My wife I ordered and out came the salads- chilled plates as was the salad! I'm sure they make their own crotons too. And my steak was exactly as I ordered - perfectly! My wife couldn't finish her meal but I took my time as the baked potato was cooked with a skin covered in salt and it didn't go to waste! My mom would be proud as I ate everything on my plate. Even has a visit by Jackie the manager who was just as friendly and awesome explaining a lot of weekday specials & invited us back! Okay, we're coming back this week & I'm confident the service, food & atmosphere will be as good if not better than the first! Here's a shoutout to friends who told me "meh" Oh, the prices are awesome too. read more

The service here hands down is spectacular. Inside their interior is decorated country style with many booths & tables. Once seated by the host, you get a round of the most delicious & fluffy rolls with their special honey butter. Luckily, it's unlimited! The server was very attentive, kind, & happy to answer any questions we had. The food was mediocre but came out fresh. The appetizers came out crispy with a nice crunch. The steaks were a bit tough despite asking for medium rare. The color was nice, but the cuts weren't the best. Nonetheless, I would absolutely come back for their rolls with honey butter, & maybe try a burger next time! read more

First time experiencing this restaurant. It's definitely a popular spot and reservations are highly recommended. I made ours online and it was definitely the way to go-since walk up wait times can take over an hour. First off, our server was AMAZING. Super sad I didn't catch her name. She was friendly and so helpful with recommendations and taking care of the many needs of our large party. The bread and butter they bring out is sooo yummy! It's very much recommended that you try to resist from eating too much. Because one the main course and appetizers come out- you will be so full! We ordered their blooming onion and it was perfection. Their steaks were great and the sides to die for! It is heavy meals and definitely will need a to go box for the leftovers. But overall it was a great first experience and would definitely return again. read more

BB and I came here on a weekend evening, with a reservation. I couldn't believe the amount of people that were inside and also waiting outside, it was like an amusement park. It is located inside a huge shopping plaza, but even then, it took a minute to find parking. However, once we checked in via smartphone, we only waited about 5 to 10 minutes until we were seated. The booth we were in was very small. Service was friendly and efficient. We both ordered prime rib, medium rare, with salads as one side, potatoes as the other side. The house rolls with the honey butter are as good as the rumors say they are. Ended up eating a basket and a half between us two. The prime rib was cooked well and it was good for the cost. I don't expect Lawry's prime rib when I am at chain restaurants. It came with au jus and horseradish as requested, and definitely you get your money's worth. I can see what all the hype is about, its a good meal at a good value. read more

We went to Texas Roadhouse and had hands down some of the BEST service we've ever experienced. Ryleigh was amazing! Super welcoming, friendly, and genuinely helpful from the moment we sat down to the moment we left. She was attentive the entire time without being overbearing, and every recommendation she gave us? Instant new favorites. You can tell she really knows the menu and cares about the experience. This wasn't just dinner, it was an experience and Ryleigh made it that way. We'll definitely be coming back soon and will ALWAYS ask to sit in her section! Highly recommend! read more

We are from out of town. We wanted something familiar.. this is the worst Texas Roadhouse I've ever been to. Service was picky with who they were attentive to. I asked 2 other servers for items as mine catered to others around my family. Coke was very flat. Ribs looked old and fries were stiff.. mash tasted like it had been there for a couple of days. Green beans had pieces of little meat not bacon..they tasted old as well. We have been to 3 restaurants and they all seem to be the same dirty with old food. Complain if you can, I paid my tab and barely left 6.00$.. I've never tipped my servers that amount unless it's shit service. This place needs a health inspector asap read more

Very rude and bad customer service and the server spelled my drink on my shirt and they didn't even apologize or try to give me another drink. I'm very unhappy. read more

I'm an older struggling veteran and I truly appreciate the small meal that the owners of TEXAS ROADHOUSE give to veterans each year. The steak this year was approximately 2" x 2" or maybe even 1 1/2" X 1 1/2". In the past the restaurant manager Reginald/Reggie was really great at customer service and respect. However that was NOT my experience with the new restaurant manager Jacqueline. Much love and respect to the owners and executives of TEXAS ROADHOUSE. read more

Before writing my review I wanted to check the negative ones to see what happened because I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS LOCATION! Most of the negative reviews that have it a second chance were impressed in the second time around. Me and my kids come here 2x/month because they absolutely love the food, once I found out you can check in through the app/website I was sold haha. This place is amazing! The kids love the steak and so do I. I have never felt more appreciative of a restaurants service than I do here. ALL OF MY SERVERS HAVE BEEN GREAT!! The restaurant itself is always packed with happy guest (try to get in the waiting line online) save yourself the long wait. The place is always clean and well maintained, rarely do I ask for anything and or need anything!! You'll love this place!!! 1000% read more

Look, yes it's a chain, I don't review those often. But frankly, they do a decent job. Good steak, lots of side options. Great place to take the Littles or are the in-laws.

This will be on the rotation for easy family dining, close to home. read more
