I have not been to a Texas Roadhouse in years, and had a really great experience here recently. There was an online waitlist you could add your self to, and when I put myself on it, the wait time was between 0-10min for our party of 4. When we arrived we noticed a lot of people waiting, but we were able to get seated immediately. So I definitely recommend the online waitlist, especially during peak hours like Saturday evening. It was packed, every table was full that we walked by. I remember back in the day when you threw the peanuts on the floor, but it seems like those days are over now. There was a packaged bag of peanuts on the table with a metal bucket for the waste. I also forgot how good the rolls taste with the cinnamon sugar butter!!! They were nice and fresh too! Our waitress was Faith, and she was awesome. I ordered the Sangria Margarita on the rocks and it was good! For my entree I choose the salmon with a house salad and Mac & cheese. The salmon was delicious, and came with a herby, dill , Mayo ish sauce on the side (like tartar sauce, but not, and better)! I would definitely order that again. Overall, a great time. I wish it hadn't been so loud, but it was a Saturday night and a packed dining room. They still do the saddle for birthdays, which we had the opportunity to watch. read more

SENTRY - WATCHING RESTAURANTS Texas Roadhouse 8510 S Emerald Drive Tempe, 85284 Sometimes I have to weigh my honesty vs. being gentle. This is one of those times. Companion and I decided to try the early bird specials. I was not deluded to think that this was a high class restaurant. It's a cowboy themed, honky tonk place with lots of noise and a pack of peanuts on the table. Our waiter Charlie arrived quickly with menus and ready to take our drink order. Companion asked for a virgin cranberry margarita, but they don't make those, so companion settled on a cranberry bliss and while very tart, was enjoyable. I settled for a coke zero. We had a child sitting behind our booth who was pelting me with mac and cheese pieces. It was duck and cover for a lot of the meal since the parents did nothing to stop it. Companion ordered the single grilled pork chop and explained that it was to be cooked medium as per current USDA rules allowing pink pork. Unfortunately, it came well done. Companion asked for some apple sauce to go with the pork and was charged $3.49 for a little dish of it. For myself I ordered the 6 oz sirloin steak medium rare. There was nothing wrong with it that my water pik can't help with. It was tough and stringy. I was not expecting a prime steak here, but I also wasn't expecting a USDA select grade steak. Very disappointing. After working my way through half of the steak a person (I assume a manager) came over and asked if I wanted another steak, which I declined. I ordered a sweet potato to go with it and it was perfectly cooked, though their butter is sweet butter and lacks the flavor of salt butter on most things. A sprinkle of salt greatly improved it. My side of mushrooms was almost totally dry until I added some butter to it. Dessert was the highlight of the meal. We ordered the granny's apple classic. Out came a large slice of apple pie, swimming in a dark pool of caramel sauce and topped with a melting ball of vanilla ice cream. It was great even though it was over 1000 calories. Normally, I ding restaurants for big knives with serrated teeth, because they tear the meat of nice tender steaks, but in this case, I will not ding them for it. I might have given extra points for an electric knife though. Sanitation was top notch and service was good. I will return again and order from the regular menu to make a more thorough evaluation. 2 stars read more

I stopped in here with my husband and mom for a late-night dinner. They were pretty busy, so we had to join the waitlist, which was no big deal. When we were finally seated, our waiter was a young man who initially seemed okay, but the service continued to decline throughout our dining experience. We had to ask for peanuts, which are usually standard, and were only given one small bag to share. When we asked for more, the waiter rolled his eyes and took quite a while to bring them back. We also never received refills on our iced tea or water during the meal, which was disappointing. I'm used to a higher level of service at Texas Roadhouse, so this experience really fell short of expectations. For food, we ordered the crispy onion appetizer, which unfortunately wasn't fully cooked and the dough was still wet. My husband ordered a steak meal, but the meat was extremely overcooked and nearly inedible. My mom and I shared a chicken dish, which was okay, but nothing memorable. Overall, I was very disappointed with both the service and the food, and I probably won't be returning to this location. read more

I haven't been to a Texas Roadhouse since before Covid. This pandemic has really changed things, because the waiting area is no longer a barn with free peanuts in barrels while waiting for the table. And since when did we have to have every body in the party before being seated?! I ordered an herb crusted chicken. Unfortunately, it came out juicy but very salty. I wasn't the only person and the main person in my party, so I didn't want to make a scene and send the food back. Another flaw was one of the sides didn't come with the rest of the food, and the server acknowledged but forgot about it until we reminded her. Overall, it was a meal. The rest of the party was happy for the most part. I probably won't visit for a while. read more

When I come to Texas Roadhouse, my boots walk in with a swagger. They know me here. In fact, if you mention my name, there's a 10% chance you'll get 10¢ off and a 90% chance they'll throw you out. You do the math partner. "You can speak your mind, but make sure you ride a fast horse." Texas Roadhouse is always lively. Texas style. The decor is rustic with a great vibe. My favorite is the showcase of beauties upon arrival. Lined up and looking purrtty the hand-cut beef selection is always awesome. And you can choose your prefered cut, just ask the server and point! Cool huh? The managers at this location are vigilant going from table to table asking if all's well. Servers love their jobs!: thats what the shirt they wear says and it's true! Have never had an issue. Excellent service always. My humble opinion is that you get great value at Texas Roadhouse. My order of 20oz bone-in Ribeye with two sides and hot rolls runs 37 bucks. Home cooked meal taste, just like my mama never made. They also have a terrific early bird Mon-Thursday $13.99 special (till 5:30pm) featuring 11 entrees..worth checking out! With an extensive menu, you'll be sure to find a treat just right for you. Make sure to watch out for drink specials too!

We went there on a Sunday night at around 8:30pm, and it was still a full house!! The $79 Valentine special was a great offer. One appetizer plus two entree (with 2 sides). We end up ordered two 18oz prime ribs This is why TR is a famous brand. The prime rib was perfectly cooked. My wife ordered a medium rare, and I ordered a medium well, and we were both satisfied. My son loved his ribeye as well Highly recommended. read more

This Texas Roadhouse like many others is very busy so if possible, I suggest not coming here during the weekend as there will be a wait. Inside is what you'd expect from a Texas Roadhouse: loud music, loud people, a lot of people. However, service is top notch. If you prefer a more quiet dinner experience, this is not the place. The prices at Texas Roadhouse are low compared to other steakhouses, which contribute to their popularity. Their fresh-baked dinner rolls are probably their post popular item and it's easy to stuff yourself on it before your meal even arrives. Their steaks...are not the best quality although they aren't bad by any means. They just are a step below mid-tier steakhouses..which is fine, you get what you pay for. The star of the show are their sides...everyone of them are great. Cesar salad is simple and flavorful while sweet potatoes baked just right. Overall, it's a fun dining experience. Not sure if it's some place to go frequently due to the loud environment, but definitely on occasion the Roadhouse experience delivers. read more

Kids were able to get us on list and we were able to get a table as we walked in. I thought it was at full capacity and was I wrong! We were just at pre prime time. I ordered ribeye with salad & baked potato. Daughter got the chicken salad and it was big! Son ordered ribeye with shrimp and got the ribeye with ribs. It all worked out. Granddaughter loved when the line dancing was happening. I'm going to have to show her the steps. If you see a wee one dancing she's more than likely mine! read more

Texas Roadhouse ... you know the drill... big place... big portions, loud, quality- average. You do get unlimited bread and soft drinks and bagged salted peanuts as a bonus. Good to the preseason games when in town. However, as basic as the RH is, this location in Tempe get extra credit for the staff, in particular BRITTNEY. This young lady hustled no less then 14 drinks and 4 baskets of bread to our table of four. RH Management- this young lady is to be watched and prepped for promo. Our section was packed and she didn't miss a beat. She was courteous, knowledgeable, kind, and attentive. One to watch out for! Go to the RH. Eat BIG!! read more

This location has their act together. My server must have come by my table at least 20 times and that is not an exaggeration. Brought drinks before I asked for them and did her job 100%. The manager also came by to check on me. I had a steak, loaded potato, house salad and those awesome rolls. A 5 star meal cooked as ordered and fast turnaround time. read more

Middle of a Saturday afternoon. Not busy. Seated right away. And then promptly IGNORED. Server was double seated. The two of us and then an 8 person table seated within a minute of us. Big table got service. We didn't. Server went on to stand around and joke with his Broesphs for a bit. Didn't even get our drink order taken. "Service manager" Nate was just as clueless and couldn't be bothered. Every time we attempt to give this location a chance, the service is awful. Today takes the cake. read more

Always a target for dinner as they have pretty consistent quality steaks, their sirloin can be hit or miss, like anywhere. It's pretty easy to stay low-carb, although their chili has its fair share of carbs, still tolerable as a diabetic, but not for keto. Atmosphere is always upbeat and festive, sometimes a bit loud - but the Birthday celebrations are a treat and most people jump in to help celebrate. read more

We had a party of eleven for a birthday. Like any other Texas Roadhouse, the workers we dealt with were very friendly and very cordial. Every time I go to a Texas Roadhouse, I'll try something different. This time it was the ribs. Well I wasn't that impressed. It was a little dry. But the meat did just fell off the bones. I did have one issue. For the party of eleven we had. They seated us at two booths, instead of tables that could have been put together. read more

Generous portions and delicious food! I ordered the baby back ribs, and they were cooked to perfection, tender and falling off the bone. Service was fast, and the restaurant is spacious with plenty of room to relax. The standout, though, is the freshly warmed cinnamon buns, soft, sweet, and absolutely unforgettable. I'd come back just for those buns alone! read more

Had a great meal at Texas road house tonight. We got there at 5pm on a Wednesday thinking we beat the crowd, but they were slammed! We got on the waitlist through the app on our way over. (Just remember they won't seat you until your whole party is there). Our waitress was amazing! She had so many tables but never neglected us and was so nice! Everything we ordered was just really good and cooked perfectly. It's always a little loud and chaotic, but that's normal for Texas Roadhouse I think. read more

We just had an incredible experience at Texas Roadhouse. The food was cooked to perfection. What made this experience one to remember was the waiter. Alis's service skills were absolutely the best. I have not experienced such great service in a long time. It's refreshing to go to an establishment and be provided with such great customer service. We never had to ask for a thing. Every time we needed something, before we even thought to ask, Alis already had it coming. We just want to thank you Alis for such an incredible experience, we truly appreciate it.

What an interesting policy! We came in and tried to sit down for a meal. My oldest daughter hadn't made it yet! We were told we couldn't be on the list or sit down until we were all on-site and arrived. Keep in mind that I have children with me, too, and we are being asked to wait for one person. No food, no drinks. The other five are available, and we would sit at the same table whether we had 5 or 6. Instead, the wait grew longer, and I grew angrier! This will be the last time I come to a Texas roadhouse, or in the future, I will tell them I have 5, and we will add a 6th later! They have posted the policy. Instead of being apologetic and showing empathy, they pointed and said read. When I questioned the policy, another gentleman walked up and said, "That's our policy." read more

I almost went to another steakhouse and thought, "Wait - the first Texas Roadhouse I ever visited was in Phoenix with Arturo." Everything was perfect. I join the waitlist on the app, was seated at a table, was served an awesome martini, my 8 ounce Dallas filet was perfectly done. The sides were consistent - green beans and loaded mashed potatoes. A 'Texas' pour of Josh Cabernet was my traditional choice of beverage for the meal. Could not be happier. read more

I've have given up on the Roadhouse. The quality of the meat isn't what it used to be, and the Prime Rib I had tonight was horrible. It was so soaked in liquid smoke that that's all you could taste. Just a salty liquid smoke flavor on the meat, and more than 1/4 of the 16oz cut was one huge chunk of fat that should have been trimmed off . Besides the quality of the food the biggest complaint about the evening was a couple of tables with small screaming babies, and young children. I watched my 85 year old mother shake every time one of the kids let out a yell or a cry. This was her birthday, but we couldn't wait to get out of the restaurant. We didn't even wait for the free ice cream, because the 2 kids started a screaming contest yet again. I'll find a new place for prime rib, and I will stick to Longhorn for my steaks going forward. It's a much more civilized place! read more

Thanks for a great dinner. The music was a blast and lots of people celebrating their birthdays. My server which I missed his name was a 5 star personality.

The rolls nice and warm that we ate a bunch loads. read more

The food from Texas Roadhouse always hits the spot and its always pretty consistent. What changes, is the service you receive from its employees. We stopped by for lunch on Sunday and it was our first time at this location. It was around 2:30pm and thankfully is was not busy as there was no one waiting. We were seated right away and the host was nice. Our server came over a few minutes after we sat down and he quickly told us that he would be back in a few minutes. Those few minutes turned into about 20 minutes....... He was busy running around and he finally made it over to us. We were parched, we had eaten all our bread, and were ready to order our meals. He took our orders and off he went. The drinks came out a few minutes after that and he brought us more bread. After that, we didn't really see him anymore. Our food was brought out by another employee and that employee asked us if we needed anything else. We asked him for ranch and he never brought it to us and our server was MIA. We finally got checked on at the end of our meal and we just asked for to go boxes. Surprisingly those came out fast. Although the server was very friendly, he seemed stressed and was maybe overwhelmed. The service here was not good. Food was yummy though! read more

Man, Texas Roadhouse used to "hit" every time. The last 2-3 visits have been subpar. Our usuals are layered fries, chicken fried chicken with green beans and mashed potatoes with cream gravy and chicken critters with house salad with fries and ranch. Like top tier fried meal, not good for ya cuz it sticks to your ribs but makes you happy meal? That's what it used to be. Fast forward to giving it another try today. We get in around 2pm. They are busy, which usually is a good sign. We ordered our usual as stated above, minus the cheese fries and instead of green beans, got their Mac n cheese(completely gross. Wow. Idk what that was. Wanted to try something new, nope.) and two half cut iced teas and extra lemon. We had to ask FOUR times for lemons. Four times, I'm not even joking, 3 times to our server and one to the guy who dropped off our food and asked if we needed anything else? Yes, please, lemon. Do I need to pay extra to the lemon gods to get some? Thank god the guy asked if we needed anything else because she didnt even check on us after we got our food. Only when she noticed we weren't eating any more. It still took at least another 3-5 minutes to get the lemon that was dropped off by our server. No "sorry about that! Completely forgot." We totally get stuff happens and it's easy to forget things but she really just clearly did not care. Do better. She didn't deserve anything near a 20% tip but I also believe people have bad days. But BASIC service needs were not met in the least bit. PS the chicken critters I was served were lukewarm, at best. Sitting under the heat lamp had made them dry. Sad. I couldn't even tell her because she didn't show up until I decided to just eat the food I was served. read more

I am writing to formally express my deep dissatisfaction with the service my family received at your Tempe location on Emerald Drive. For over 20 years, dining at Texas Roadhouse has been a cherished family tradition. Every Christmas, we exchange gift cards specifically to gather for a large family meal. However, after the treatment we received yesterday, that tradition has come to an end. Our party of 11 arrived before the restaurant opened to ensure we could be seated during a less busy window. We were missing one member of our group due to a personal emergency, and we were informed we could not be seated until the entire party arrived. While we respected the policy, our final guest arrived only 15 minutes later. Despite being complete, we were made to wait an additional 15 minutes before being led to our seats. The seating arrangements provided were unacceptable. We were directed to two small booths, which typically accommodate four people comfortably, and told we had to fit six people into one. When I observed several open tables that could have easily accommodated a group of our size more comfortably, I requested a move. I was told flatly that there were no other options. The situation escalated when I sought management assistance: Justin (Service Manager): Was dismissive and stern, offering no solutions and simply stating, "It is what it is." Brian Warren (District Manager/Market Partner): When I reached out to the contact provided at the front of the store, the experience worsened. Mr. Warren offered no apology and doubled down on the "zero tolerance" policy regarding incomplete parties. Most shockingly, when I informed him I would be escalating this to the corporate office, he replied that corporate would simply email him, he would call me back, and he would tell me "the exact same thing." As a loyal customer of 20 years, I expected a level of hospitality that matches the "legendary" service Texas Roadhouse claims to provide. Instead, we were met with rigidness and a complete lack of empathy from the local leadership. While I understand that one family's departure may not significantly impact your bottom line, I want it known that you have lost a long-term customer and an advocate for your brand. I will be sharing this experience with my network to ensure others are aware of how this location treats its regulars. Sincerely, read more

Not really sure why but we ended up coming for dinner, having eaten her in the past. We were greeted and seated immediately upon arriving; we remembered peanuts but that didn't seem to be part of the experience anymore. I went to use the women's room upon arriving to wash my hands...whoa! It was a mess in there with paper everywhere, empty soap dispense, just a complete disaster. I let the front desk know and was told by one of the women standing there that she had gone in and made the mess and was on her way to clean it up. Walked away shaking my head but ok...suppose it was supposed to be humorous? An order of their yummy rolls was delivered to the table along with the cinnamon butter. As good as we remembered. Thanks to Yelp, I had an appetizer gift for checking in, so we ordered the Cactus Bloom (onion rings), which were ok. A tad on the greasy side and the sauce could have used a bit of more kick to it. Wife had a Blue Moon, which was on tap...which she said was wonderful! Ordered salad with ranch, a New York strip (Medium rare) and corn. Frozen corn I would guess, cooked in water with butter and seasoning. The steak was very good, cooked to perfection and doused with the butter topping to make if flavorful. Ok, the salad...it's really sad when the kitchen/server can bring a salad to the table full of brown lettuce. Our server was great and said he would bring another plate, which is exactly the same as the first. He agreed although said it was from a fresh bag just opened. Sorry...no brown lettuce for me. He offered to replace it with romaine and I agreed and it was much better for sure. Wife ordered her salad with blue cheese and because she isn't as picky, she was able to eat her brown lettuce! She ordered the rib eye with a loaded potato. She ordered her meat medium well and it was well and cooked so she was happy. Said it was flavorful and tender. Their potatoes are cooked with a salt coating and looked great. She was happy! Overall it was chain restaurant experience. We know there are way better steak houses in the area and I think this just reminded us why we don't choose Texas Roadhouse for steak dinners! read more

food sucks, service sucks. thought i'd try it one more time to give it a shot. things were fine until the food came out. got a sirloin steak, came out looking like a microwave salisbury steak. caesar salad was smothered in dressing, just not my liking. server walked away when my friend was trying to ask for something to go, he walked away and i said excuse me (politely), he came back and in the middle of her asking he walked away to the table next to us to check on them, he walked passed once more and i said excuse me again and she finally got to ask for bread. 3x is crazy esp when full eye contact was made and it was mid conversation. manager asked if food was good and if service was good i said it was alright. asked if there's anything they could do but honestly not sure what could make it right. i'm not the type to ask for a discount or to get anyone in trouble. just writing this to tell you to save your money and eat at home or somewhere with better food + service. pic for reference: does this look like $9 worth of cheesecake? the strawberry dressing was just thrown in like that with chunks of cheesecake like someone shook the container. smh, longhorns better. edit: thought about this on the way home: the ribs were hella ass too, i didnt even finish most of my meal. on top of all of this, when my server came back with the bread, he said sorry guys i tried to give it to you for free but my manager told me to charge you guys. this is really the cherry on top of the bs because this tells me the manager really didn't gaf to make anything right. yall give bread out for free when ppl eat in, we say the service and food wasn't all that, nothing to really make it right, yeah go ahead and pay for that bread. my friend had every intention on paying for the bread anyways but it's the principle really. read more

Yikes! Not sure what was going on tonight. I ordered takeout out Burger and fries. Simple enough, right? I went to pick my order up no one was at takeout window for about 10 min and I had to go inside and ask for assistance.

Fine, I went home to eat my burger. It was cold, salty, the bun tasted weird. The fries were also cold.
