Just had my very first visit to Texas Roadhouse yesterday, & it definitely did not disappoint. I have been told countless times to try Texas Roadhouse, & I'm very upset it took me so long to give it a try, because I will definitely be back. What I have been told are the biggest draws for customers are their free peanuts, that come in a metal bucket at your table, & there is a sign at the front welcoming you to throw your peanut shells on the floor. This is kinda gross and makes the restaurant look pretty dirty, but humans are filthy so who doesn't love being able to make a mess! Even though there is also an empty metal bucket next to the one filled with peanuts, I highly doubt many people use it. I am sure there should probably be a sign outside the restaurant about the peanuts, considering a highly allergic person would probably not even be able to walk into the restaurant, however there was none that I could see. The biggest draw though, especially for a carb lover like me, has to be their delicious complimentary rolls with amazing cinnamon, honey butter! You can get as many as you would like, & they were so good, we asked for an extra basket, just to put in a to-go box later on. But, let me tell ya, we were having a late dinner, & every single roll we took home was still gone before the end of our night! The food was very good, & although I'd heard that they could be expensive, it was really no higher than any other steakhouse type restaurant. Most any of the meal options came with your choice of 2 sides. I chose a house salad, which was the best side salad I've had, complete with shredded cheese, eggs, & croutons. It also had tomatoes, but I am not a fan of those so I just took them off. There was more than enough dressing to go with my salad as well. For my second side option I chose a loaded baked potato. You can get any of their potato options (mashed potatoes, baked potato, sweet potato, or fries) loaded for only an additional 99 cents, which is much cheaper than other restaurants I have been to. I made the mistake of not thinking about the fact that a loaded potato would have sour cream, and didn't think about it until my food had already arrived. We asked if we could get a new potato with no sour cream, & our server did not sound bothered by this whatsoever, brought us a new one and let us keep the old one, which my boyfriend ate with his meal. The potato was good and had a huge amount of cheese and bacon on it, with sea salt on the skin of the potato, however it did not have nearly enough butter and was slightly dry. The dry potato would be my only complaint of my whole experience though. I am not big on steak, personally, and was not being very brave with my first meal here though so I just got the chicken critters which I assumed were chicken strips, but they were very small pieces of chicken strips. They were good however and I was stuffed before even finishing my meal, but kept eating as it was so good I did not want to stop! My boyfriend said that his steak was cooked perfectly, as were his ribs, as he could pull the bone right out of the ribs with no effort at all. Fall off the bone ribs are always good ribs! Our waitress was great, even though she kept mixing up my unsweetened tea with sweet tea! She would catch herself every time before giving it to me though, which I greatly appreciated, as I am diabetic and try to stay away from sugary beverages. We were given a high chair for my 2 year old son and discovered the buckle was broken. Our waitress searched the whole restaurant for a high chair with a buckle that was not broken for us until she finally found one. This was greatly appreciated as we did not want to risk him climbing out and hurting himself. He is not always the happiest to go out to eat as he wants to explore everything and does not like having to be still. Our waitress even helped get him into and buckled in his high chair, which I believe he liked! She thanked us for dining there & wished us a safe trip home. She was a wonderful waitress! My only complaint about the atmosphere of the restaurant would probably be how loud it was inside. It was pretty busy when we got there so it was incredibly loud, but began to die down as we ate our meal. I had also always been so hesitant to try Texas Roadhouse because their parking lot is always so packed I figured there would be a long wait, & I cannot stand waiting for a table at a restaurant. The parking lot was pretty full when we arrived however there was no wait for a table, no wait for our waitress (other than us taking forever to decide what we wanted off their large menu of many options!), & very minimal wait for our food! It was a very good night, a good dining experience, &, although a little pricey for my budget to go all the time, we will definitely be back to try many more items! & get more of those amazing rolls with that delicious cinnamon, honey butter!!! read more

Came in town because I was a vendor at the BB&Barell festiva. I always stay at a nearby hotel. We arrived at 9:50 on Thursday May 7th. The pm bartender had the worst attitude. They food was horribl. I sent my food back.. read more

Worst experience at TR ever. Never placed my order. Spoke to three people and a manger about it. Everyone was done eating when I got my steak and it was not cooked. Sent it back. They brought the same steak back over done. Zero stars. read more

Go in with my wife. Have a couple drinks. Ordered. Asked for bread with my salad. Salad delivered. Immediately right behind it my steak is delivered. Now I feel like I'm in a race No bread. Ask for bread to have with my salad I'm now in a race to eat before my steak gets cold. Finished my salad and still no bread. By now I'm pissed. Ask for a to go box for my meal. Box up my meal and pay. As I'm leaving here comes the bread. Went home with a $73 to go order that is now cold. On the way out a manager asked me how everything was. Told him the sad chain of events. His response-"We will strive to do better in the future ". WTF. read more

Texas Roadhouse - Steakhouses Near Me - Owensboro, Kentucky

Arrived about 10:45 for lunch on a Friday. This is the only weekday that Texas Roadhouse is open for lunch dining. Wow..... I thought, Willie Nelson himself must be playing a free concert here????? They are giving away flat screen TVs???? Free T-Bones for all???? The parking lot was already almost full, and there is a line out the door at least 30 people deep, waiting in the blistering heat!!!! Our party of 2 decided to brave the line about 10:55. About this time the line increased to about 45-50, due to people saving space in line for others. I honestly thought there might be an epic battle between the line cutters and the group of ladies standing behind us. When we were shown to our table, drenched in sweat, thankfully our cold drinks were served quickly. We weren't served any rolls. We ordered a cheeseburger with fries, and a ribeye with steamed veg. I hate to say it...... it was just meh... ok. The serving of steak fries was a pitiful site.... Maybe 7 cold fries. The cheeseburger was ok... not nearly as good as some fast food places. The ribeye steak was ordered medium, and came just a hint over rare. The steak had an overwhelming " liver" taste.... Maybe not the highest quality beef ???? I'm not sure. I'm giving the whole experience a 3, service was friendly (4) food was average at best(3) and the wait in the sun, and extra-loud music (2). I am happy that so many folks are crazy for Texas Roadhouse, because other casual dining spots won't be as packed!!!! read more

Placed an online order for dinner at 5:50pm, the order was to be completed and ready by 7:15pm. Ended up waiting in line to get my order for 45 minutes making it 8pm. Finally got home to eat and everything was cold plus the potatoes were undercooked. read more

food was crap, service was poor and rude, but the rolls were great fried pickles other then that would not go there again. And is definitely not worth the wait for it. read more

Texas Roadhouse - Prime Rib sandwich at Texas Roadhouse was awesome and the service was great! - Steakhouses Near Me - Owensboro, Kentucky

I like to go for the early dining menu from 3 to 5 PM Monday through Friday. A main and two sides with the rolls and peanuts for $11.99. You cannot beat it. The food is always tasty. The ambience is convivial. It is kind of loud in the restaurant in a little dark. The servers are working hard, but very pleasant. The managers always come around and check on you sometimes a little too much no IPAs they have a limited beer selection, but they usually have one on special and a cocktail on special. Nice and cool and sad plenty of parking . read more

Food was good . Took a long time to get the food. Waitress, Meghan seemed to have more important things to do than wait on us.she was very short with us, trying to get an order before we even looked at a menu. I was ordering the appitizers, she wrote one down and was on her way. I had to get her attention to come back for my husband's order. She brought a refill before I even got a couple sips, so when the refill was needed, they were flat and watered down. Gave us the check and never returned, glad we had enough cash to cover the dinners and tip. No desserts offered. We will make sure to keep going to O'Charlie's . read more

TR in Owensboro KY. Oh my everything was worth going to town for after a bad workweek. Margarita, steak, potatoes (mashed and baked), rattlesnake bites, tea, and course the rolls, oh my. Our waitress was great at 350pm in the back booths near the restrooms read more

Used the takeout because we were staying next door! The steak we ordered was cooked perfectly and we got everything we asked for! Kent would of been proud of this franchise! read more

I used carryout. Was suppose to have my meal in 20 minutes. It took 35 minutes. I asked for utensils, salt and pepper. They assured me it was included. When I arrived at my hotel, the food was cold, no utensils and of course no S & P. Very disappointed in the service. read more

Food is not special, but is ok. We waited one hour for our food as others were coming in and being served before us. I eventually went to the front desk and complained. I was told that they are really busy and everyone's food is taking time. Is said, "Oh, really? Well, how come others have been served before us?" No intellegent response. The manager came up and told us our food will be delivered shortly and he was giving us 20% off our ticket. OK, problem addressed and fixed. We will try again and I'll update the review accordingly. read more

For a chain restaurant we were pleasantly delighted. Good ,fresh food. Fast service . All of the staff at this location were so friendly and they just have such a great attitude it made our experience wonderful. Will definitely come back :) read more

My favorite is the rolls and the ribeye and salad I used to get crispy chicken salads now I cut up some of my steak and add ranch dressing and it is delicious if you have never had Texas Roadhouse you should try it I have eaten at over 50 different steak house and by far they are my #1!!!!!! Eat up read more

WOW! Haven't been in here since 4/18. I don't know what changed but it was for the best. The fried onion was the best we have had in 5 attempts. The prime rib is the second if not the best in the city. Our server friendly and actually acted like she really enjoyed her job. The only down fall is there was no grilled cheese for our son. But keep in mind he is finicky eater. We are putting this place back on our rotation of places to eat. read more

Great steaks, great food. Try the steaks and cactus blossoms. Also the country fried steaks is delicious. Great service. You will probably wait but worth it. read more

I was in town visiting some friends & we decided to go to Texas Roadhouse on a Sunday night. Growing up in Owensboro, Texas Roadhouse has always been a popular place for the locals. Maybe it's because they open later in the day, maybe because of the country vibe & all the meat they serve, I'm not sure, but the place is usually packed. We pulled up on a Sunday around 5:30 and it was busy, but luckily it only took about 5 minutes to get a table. One thing that threw me off was that next to the entrance was two Porta potty trailers. We thought "is the water not working?"! It was odd. We later found out that they were remodeling the bathrooms. I wonder how long those trailers will be out front. Anyway, at least they were heated & not the blue, square kind you find at construction sites. We had a booth in the back of the restaurant. Our server, Lin, was very friendly & fast with refills, both drink & rolls. Speaking of their rolls, I think I could eat my weight in them. I don't know how people do no carb diets. I could live off bread. Enough about me. The bread comes with cinnamon butter, which is equally delicious. I ordered a bourbon (well) & diet ($4.50). It was a nice pour, others at our table said that their drinks weren't very strong however. For dinner, I ordered the portobello chicken, which consists of grilled, marinated chicken breast with Portobello Mushroom sauce, jack cheese and fresh Parmesan cheese ($11.99). For my side, I decided to live a little and get my baked potato LOADED ($.99 extra). PS the cinnamon butter is good on the potato too. Oh & a Caesar salad too. For the price, you get a lot of food. From sit down to food, it was little under an hour. It wasn't too bad because we had rolls & salad & drinks. The Caesar salad is good, but if you don't like salads covered in dressing, this one might not be for you. The croutons are crisp & buttery at the same time. The loaded baked potato is magical, I mean, what isn't with cheese & bacon? The chicken was average, but the mushrooms & thick sauce (almost a gravy) brightened up my meal. I was only able to eat about 1/4 of the chicken before I asked for a box. Maybe it was the 6 rolls I had, I'm not sure. read more

Diana was our server. She looks like Katniss from The Hunger Games. She was just as sweet as she was pretty. She was very attentive and hooked us up with a Veterans discount = 10% off! Pros: -price was good - 9 people ate for $130 (before discount) -they sang Happy Birthday to my niece -call ahead seating got our large party seated right away -kids steak cooked right & they shoveled down the apple sauce Cons: -no ice cream, candle, nothing for the Birthday Girl. They just sang to her & had her sit in the saddle -steak & mushrooms tasted like they were cooked on a dirty grill -broccoli was hard but piping hot like they had spritzed it with water & thrown it in the microwave -onion blossom was unevenly cooked- half was not cooked while the other half was burned Overall, food wasn't exactly worth the visit. We'll stick to Logan's when we're in town. read more

Service needs work. Ordered my steak medium well. It was medium. Waitresses didn't even ask if I was done with my salad before taking it off the table. Haven't been here for a long while. Definitely has declined in customer service. read more

We have been going here since it was built, watched the expansion, other restaurants come and go, but this place always stays packed and with great service. Sometimes the wait can be long. Fun atmosphere for families! read more

The waitress was excellent,her name is Brooklyn, if you want a super server, ask for her. the girls who work the main desk were very unprofessional, tossing their hair around and we we eating in the booth right behind them. When our waitress informed them we weren't happy about that they kept giving us snotty looks. Otherwise place is nice. Thanks Brooklyn read more

This is always my go to for a great steak. Me and the wife went this past saturday. Went early to beat the crowd. As usual service was great. Beer was ice cold. Wife got a full rack of ribs. I got the medium sized rib eye believe 10 oz. Not sure what happened like I said appetizers were good server was awesome. My steak was like no flavor at all like they forgot to season it. Wife got mixed veggies which were not edible. They were cold and like not cooked at all. Always give them benefit of the doubt. Been going there for years and really my first bad experience. read more

I am genuinely disappointed in Texas Roudhouses performance. I came to the restaurant to enjoy a nice meal with friends. The wait to get a table was fine considering it was moderately busy. But it took over 15 MINUTES to get a SERVER. And once a server took our order, we waited over an hour and still waiting (we are here currently) o get food. I am disgusted with the the service, I will not be coming AGAIN! read more

We had good service. We were seated quickly. 5:30ish on week night. We wanted a good steak but this wasn't the night for it. My husbands was good but I ordered a kabob and it wasn't good at all! I ate one bite and it was quite odd? Thought it was the marinade, nope ,,, brought it home but scared to give it to the dog. Not feeling so well. The baked potato wasn't completely cooked either. I did enjoy a piece of bread and done salad. Very disappointed. read more

Texas Roadhouse does some things very well. They can process large crowds of people in a timely manner. If you want a steak cooked the way you like, they can do it. My wife and I love their prime rib, which is; as good as, you will find anywhere. Their staff is typically young, friendly and well trained. The surroundings are, as you would expect at any Texas Roadhouse with loud country music and peanut shells on the floor. During my latest trip, I opted to try something different and chose the catfish while my wife stuck with the prime rib. The catfish really was rather bland in flavor and the dipping sauce just did not cut it. Therefore, the old saying, "do not buy fish from a steak house," rings true for me in this case. Next time I will have the prime rib. read more

After waiting in line for a pickup order, we went inside. Pickup time 2:30. Current time 2:35. No one at the inside pickup counter, and telephone ringing. Dinged bell. Waited. Five minutes later dinged bell again. Phone still ringing. A person came out. We asked him to check on our order. Not ready. 2:54 person came out to deliver food. Asked her to check on our order. She went to check, and a few minutes later came back with our food. She explained our first steaks were cooked to well done. We ordered medium. Drove home. Started pulling food out, no salads. Called to speak with manager. Spoke with Kim. She advised she would reimburse via email. As of next morning, nothing from Kim. read more

i love the tx roadhouse franchise and this location is no different. I usually do the call ahead waitlist option through the app. I think it helps with the wait time. all of your party has to be present, you check in, and it streamlines the process adding you to the list. it's the closest thing to an actual reservation, which they don't take. that is the only bad thing about eating here besides the parking, which is always crowded. the food is fresh and tasty. the staff is friendly. the place is clean, so the positives outweigh the negatives. the 5 dollar Long Island iced teas are amazing. read more

Texas Roadhouse - Sorry ate some before I thought to take a picture. Was delicious - Steakhouses Near Me - Owensboro, Kentucky

Meh. I've had better. This was one of those experiences when everything seemed just a bit off. And it started in the parking lot. Too small. Cars were parked on a side road, and it wasn't packed on the inside. It just seemed like the lot the building was on just wasn't big enough. It was just me for dinner. When I got there the hostess offered to seat me. I declined and went for the bar. Once in the bar area I discovered the bar was full - no seats. Why wouldn't the hostess know that? I was seated and the waitress took my drink order and then brought my drink. I waited and waited and waited and she just didn't come back. I caught another waitress and asked for mine, and when she came back she said, "I was waiting for your guest to arrive..." So I ordered my food and it came, but I'm pretty sure I ordered rice and not the mashed potatoes that I got. I've had better food and better service and I am glad no one was there to experience it with me. read more

So another great experience at Texas roadhouse. Sat at the bar, bad idea. It was after 9pm on a Monday and the restaurant was extremely slow. So I wondered why it was taking 25 minutes to cook a 6oz sirloin. When my food finally came being served by the manager, I touched the plate and it was burning hot. So I asked the manager was this sitting under the heat lamp and of course she said no, and I said why is the plate so hot, she explained that they keep their plates hot, really? So I cut into my supposed to be medium steak and it was well done. The bar tender offered to fix the problem, but come on just do your job right and worry about your customers instead of doing your closing duties. This will for sure be my last time. I don't know why people keep coming here. P.s. the manager is always right read more

I travel a lot for work which means I eat out a lot. I don't review very often but use Yelp religiously to find a place to eat. Today, I just wanted a steak and have had good luck at the chains. Didn't even check Yelp first. I was surprised at the lower ratings. The port a potties are gone, service from Jon was excellent and food was great. My steak was cooked medium rare as requested and my sides were just like I prefer. It's loud but that's the chain. Peanuts were fine and bread is deadly (carb junkies will be happy). Hopefully your experience will be as good as mine! read more

Texas roadhouse is a pretty big chain, at least in the Midwest, but they are all pretty decent. You walk in and there are barrels of peanuts for you to crack open and throw the shells all over the floor. The steaks are actually pretty good and always seem to be that way. The sides they have are pretty lacking so I usually just stick with the house salad and the Broccoli. The appetizers are all pretty much fried and terrible for you but at the same time, they are all you want when you sit down haha. My Top order: Get a Tall Shinerboch Beer, start with the Rattle Snake Bites, and get a Dallas Fillet. You won't be disappointed or hungry. read more
