We went to lunch March 28 about 2:00. The restaurant was pretty crowded and was seated in back. The Server finally comes over and opens a bundle of napkins, plops them on our table and says he needs to fill napkin holder. after he finished we were able to order drinks a Merlot and a Chardonnay. He then asks if thats red or white so we explained that Merlot was red and Chardonay was white, he had no clue. We were kinda taken aback that a server did not know this especially at a Steak house. I nicely say you may want to brush up on that, he didn't like that and explained he thought Merlot was a brand. By this time i just wanted out of this restaurant. We decided not to order lunch but just wings and the drinks to be polite. Wings show up but still no drinks. He finally comes over and asks how the wings are, we say fine but still no drinks. Took forever to get our drinks and by now we couldn't get out fast enough. Paid bill and left. Absolutely worst server we ever had! Totally unprofessional! I can't remember his name but remembered he had cowboy hat on with glasses. We have been to this restaurant many times with excellent service but today was really Unacceptable! read more

Ordered a grilled salmon salad It came with lettuce and salmon, none of the tomatoes, onions croutons, eggs etc. did not find this until back to my hotel 8 miles away read more

Pretty good rolls and chicken sandwich. My husband loved the Dallas filet. Cons: you can't order more than one drink. If you have one in front of you they decline even ordering you another even though the bar takes forever. Also, make the condiments more accessible. I always ask for them when ordering. They never come and then I have to constantly ask after my food arrives as it gets cold. This happens every single time and I eat here at least once a month. read more

I ordered two appetizers --fried pickles and a sampler platter, and a dozen rolls with cinnamon butter to go at 7:50pm on a Saturday. I always pay in advance, and include a 15% tip --even though I walk up to the window to get my food and all they do is bag it. I understand it was a Saturday night, and they were packed inside, and the app told me the food would be ready at 8:30. No problem. I get to the restaurant and park in a to-go spot at 8:05, way early. I sat and doom scrolled on my phone until 8:20 or so. I check in by typing HERE, like the automated text instructed. I get a message the food isn't ready yet and I'd get a text when it's ready. Again, no problem. I sit there continuing to doom scroll and next thing I knew it was 8:41 and I still haven't gotten a text. I didn't order any steak or anything that would take a while. Just appetizers and bread. So WTH? I go to the window and I wait a whole minute for the girl to open it up, and I said my order was supposed to have been ready 11 minutes before. She looks all scared like I'm going to reach through the window and strangle her. I'm just annoyed at this point. She goes and grabs a few tickets from the printer, still attached to each other and asks her coworkers where my order is. They're all shrugging and clueless --and it's obvious they were shooting the shit and enjoying doing nothing while the dining room was a madhouse. The girl said they hadn't been in the kitchen for a while. I said would you please go check. She brings out this severely warped styrofoam container with the fried pickles in it, and the sampler platter slightly warm in the plastic container. I took the boxes and examined them and said they looked like they'd been sitting under the heat lamp for at least 15 minutes. I asked for them to be re-made. I waited patiently, watching a little boy playing on the walkways with matchbox cars and river rocks and smiling, in awe of young children and how they can be entertained so easily. 5-8 minutes later she opens the window. She's about to pack the same severely warped styrofoam box with the fried pickles in it, and likely the sampler in the same box. All I look at is the pickles and they looked greasier so it was obvious they were fresh. I said ok fine, box it up. I was tired of waiting by that point. My daughter and I get home at 9:15. THAT IS WHEN I GET THE FREAKING TEXT THAT MY ORDER WAS READY. We unpack the food. The rolls are cold (ok, they can be reheated). The box with the rolls in it had somebody else's name on it and scratched out with my name written below. The times on the box were changed three times . My daughter's fried pickles were fine. But she didn't get the Cajun horseradish I requested for them. My sampler platter actually had potato skins in the first batch, but the second time I got steak fries covered in cheese and bacon instead. What the actual f&ck?! The boneless wings were not even close to freshly cooked. They told me the kitchen manager said he or she remade it. It was pathetic. The manager should have come out to apologize. I also didn't get the two sides of blue cheese I ordered. All I got was ranch. I've had issues with the service at this restaurant before, but this takes the cake. Absolutely appalling. So sick of this crappy town and all the crappy customer service. This economy is shit, and the food is way more expensive than it should be in the first place. No more advanced tips. No more tips at all if this continues to be the standard. read more

If you do not like LOUD music and obnoxious singing/clapping/dancing from the servers do not come to this establishment. Their rolls and cinnamon butter is amazing of course. I got the herb chicken and mashed potatoes and caesar salad. Some of the best grilled chicken I've had at a chain restaurant with good fresh texture. Bartenders were attentive. read more

Food was amazing. Yea it's a little loud but it's a Texas restaurant! Our server, Aiden, was great. We will be back.

I have not been to a Texas Roadhouse since before the pandemic, and let me say I'm glad I chose this one to go to! I got the chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and Mac and cheese, and my sister got the ribs, along with loaded Mac and some loaded fries. Everything was delicious, the chicken was a bit salty, but I blame the gravy. The best part of the visit was our waitress, Sarah! Sarah is THE kindest person I've ever met, and I'd come back just to chat with her. Whoever hired Sarah knows what they're doing, she was attentive, kind, and so respectful! Thanks for everything Sarah!!! read more

Great service and friendly staff. Caesar salad had too much dressing, I wish I ordered it on the side. The salmon was surprising good. The tartar sauce was not needed. The plate was a bit small. The rolls were not warm, which was disappointing, but it was chilly in the restaurant, so maybe they got cold fast. I warmed up the leftovers at home the next day and it was yummy! I ordered a baked potato loaded with no bacon and I received one with bacon. A 2nd person brought me a 2nd with no bacon to fix the problem. 5 stars on service! I absolutely love the individually wrapped peanuts. Kudos to fixing the community peanuts during covid. I appreciate the health and safety change. read more

It is so filthy. I dont think it was cleaned from the night before. The woman's bathroom was absolutely disgusting. Pee everywhere around the toilets. It was so loud in the restaurant you couldn't talk to the person across the table from you. The house salad was really good and was very fresh. The Country Chicken was below average. The white gravy was way too salty and didn't taste good at all. Waitstaff was friendly and attentive read more

This Roadhouse is awful. We normally love Texas Roadhouse and eat at them often. We've even dined here before about a year ago. We were seated w a party of 8. The waitress took our order. It was 20 minutes before our water and tea arrived, 45 minutes for beer and a margarita. Our food arrived 1 hour and 15 minutes after ordered. The steaks and salmon were all overcooked but we could not wait on replacements. We had also placed an order to go that we never got, after 1 hr 45 minutes. We left w/o the to go order, they gave us a VOUCHER for it since we'd already paid our bill. We will NEVER go there again, so a lot of good the voucher will be. Skip this location, don't even bother! read more

This was my first time at Texas Roadhouse, and it was a unique cultural experience. I would absolutely take my foreign exchange student friends here to get a Texan experience. I came here for a friend's birthday dinner, and they didn't allow us to be seated until our full party arrived. The food is what I imagined it to be--tasty and unhealthy. The unlimited bread rolls with cinnamon butter were heavenly. I had the chicken critter salad, which was a salad with CHICKEN TENDERS. It was so good. I told the waiter it was our friend's birthday, and they had him wave his napkin around like a lasso while we sang happy birthday. I was excited to see him ride the saddle, but they said it was broken and discontinued after covid :( read more

Came on a Monday night for dinner, they didn't look too busy and we were seated immediately. However, walking inside, a hostess opened the doors for us; I said "hello" and smiled to her; her response was "how many" with no smile or greeting. There were about 6-8 women at the hostess stand; none of them greeted us politely and they all seemed to be annoyed or inconvenienced. All of them walking around us and in front of us, back and forth. I had no idea what the issue was. Walking to our table there were servers walking around everywhere and they seemed to be flustered or in a dire hurry of some sort. Very annoying to have the smallest walkways crowded with everyone. We sat towards the back of the restaurant and once again, encountered servers clustered at a register/computer. None of them wanted to move out of our way so we could walk to the table, none of them seemed happy to be there. The staff came off as rude; my waitress Jayla was nice. The food was incredibly mediocre. Cheese fries were heated in the microwave as the cheese didn't even stick to the fries, which were cold and gross. My pulled pork sandwich was a solid 5/10; nothing special but not too bad. We went because we had a coupon; otherwise, we won't be eating here again. read more

Roadhouse has my favorite restaurant for many years. Last night we were there meeting friends and I ordered the same thing 6 ounce sirloin. It had a different taste to it. I didn't really care for it. I don't know if they're adding a new seasoning it was just not as good. read more

Very crowded. Check in with the app. For a chain it sells very good cuts of meat. Delicious rolls. Cold beer.

We go to the Texas Roadhouse frequently and it's always great food, cooked perfectly salads are great with everything you would want in it, eggs, tomatoes the works. Baked potatoes are always cooked perfectly the sweet potatoes with the cinnamon butter is excellent. The rolls are homemade and fresh out of the oven when you arrive. Always do the on line check in it could save you allot of wait time. Wait staff is fast friendly and accommodating never having to wait for anything. Parking can get pretty crowded so go early. read more

asked for well done they gave me rare the macaroni had no flavor. the check came out to 75 dollars think fully they had takin it off

Amazing food and great service. Steak cooked and seasoned to perfection and to my temperature specifications. You can make a meal on the delicious yeast rolls alone, that are scratch made in house. The cinamonn butter is delicious as well as sides and salads. Highly recommend. read more

Update Jan 2025 Roadhouse is still in the take out rotation for us. I have adjusted to the outside pick up windows and accept checking my orders before leaving. There have been some hiccups with some orders still but the staff works hard to assure a good experience. What keeps us coming back is the quality of the food plus the take out is ready exactly when they tell you it will be ready. The quality is very consistent. Ask for Peanuts! read more

Visiting Texas and looking for BBQ can sometimes be tricky on a Monday evening as many places are closed? We found Texas Roadhouse open, as well as several locations as we made our way from Austin to Dallas on the I35. We chose the one in Temple for a variety of reasons: distance from Interstate, convenience to meet up with friends. This was not our first visit to this chain, so the gracious southern hospitality with which we were greeted at the door was not surprising. We were seated right away, and provided with a basket of their delicious rolls and whipped honey butter. More please. Our server, Serenia, was friendly and took our drinks and appetiser order promptly. We opted for the riblets and found the sauce spicy sweet just like we prefer. I opted for the steak kabob with vegetables, and a Caesar salad. My husband chose the pulled pork sandwich which he looked to have enjoyed from his empty plate. The food arrived in a good amount of time, with the salad first and we enjoyed the rolls TR is famous for. Unfortunately my steak was not tender, and the vinegary taste of the marinade I found to be quite overpowering. As I inquired and was told that the marinade is a vinegar base. After I applied some sweet BBQ sauce Serenia was kind enough to provide the flavors balanced out quite well. The vegetables were crunchy and cooked to my liking. They offset the less than tender steak. We were aware of the impending storm brewing outside along with thunder and lightening, and when the lights went out the second time, and remained out as we were paying our bill online we became acutely aware of the nature of Texas storms. Interesting to note the restaurant did not have significant emergency lighting so we stayed put at our table and waited to see if their systems would reboot so we could finish paying our bill. I did observe and hear the kitchen staff attempting to clean by flashlight and cell phone lighting which I found interesting. After several table-side visits from our server and the manager we had no other options to pay as the online app had no Wifi connection. We needed to get on the road so we ventured to the cashier, where lots of staff were congregating where there was at least some light. We were told, "You know what we are going to do, we are going to comp your meal." "Yes, thank you" I replied emphatically, and I got our servers name as we wanted to send her a tip. She initially said, "No", but I insisted as especially in light of unforeseen events I told her she had handled things quite well. We were wished a safe journey, and we made our way outside into the rain and lightening. Just as a side note: providentially the timing of our visit to the Temple Texas Roadhouse made it possible for us to avoid the tornado which later swept across the I35 an hour after our departure just 20 miles south of where we had found ourselves earlier at the restaurant. Gods protection and Texas Southern hospitality a winning combination! read more

Texas Roadhouse - Counter at the Entrance - Steakhouses Near Me - Temple, Texas

This Texas Roadhouse location has decent service and food whenever you make it to your table. The issue is not wait times - those are universal at Texas Roadhouse. The issue is that they require your entire party, regardless of size, to physically stand in a 9 square foot holding spot and wait 20+ minutes for the table they called you for to be ready. This location places their internal measure of quality (lowest possible table turnover times) far above external measures of quality (customer experience). This is purely an issue with management. Every other major restaurant has figured out how to hold guests for their table - only Texas Roadhouse seems lost on the concept. read more

I'd like to start by saying our waitresses were phenomenal and they did right by us, and I'm sure those cooks were working hard and the bussers definitely were too. My little sister graduated from college today and she had her heart set on having her celebration dinner at Texas Roadhouse. 13 of us flew in from all across the country for her, and this was our special night with her, so whatever she wanted that's what we were going to do. Well They don't take reservations, just "waitlist". So I called at 5:30pm right after grad and requested to join the waitlist for a group of 15 and said we would be there at 7, I was told to checkin at the hostess desk when we got there and to ask for Mikaela so she could make sure we got the best service. Our whole party was there by 6:30, I went in and asked for Mikaela and said our whole party was here and was told it would be a 40 minute wait and "the person she spoke too on the phone said 7:30"... I clearly said 7pm, and I was being generous with that time, that was an hour and a half notice. Not happy, but fine, since we were early. My sister was okay with the wait, so we waited. And we waited. And waited. For an hour and 45 minutes, we waited, and watched groups of 6,7,8,9,10,11,12 people get seated, eat, and leave. We were going to leave, but frankly I think that's what they wanted. We only finally got seated after we asked them to split us up if that was what it was going to take. The manager copped an attitude and honestly probably shouldn't be in that role. Our waitress sat us, and our tables were clear across the room from each other, so she asked to move us to one closer when it was free but I heard her get told "oh no that's reserved for the party of 21". That's interesting - making accommodations at their discretion apparently since they don't take reservations. She ended up moving us anyways so we could be close together and I later saw her crying, she was telling a peer that she had been yelled at for moving us and taking the table reserved for the party of 21. I didn't see her again, poor thing, and we got a new waitress - she was also lovely and pleasant and attentive and kept the rolls coming for our grad. Food was okay, nothing to write home about, salads didn't come out and cooked veggies were raw- but my sister was happy with her meal and that's what mattered to us. The assistant GM stopped by one of our tables and asked how everything was, we gave her our honest feedback about our disappointment and she was supposedly going to tell the GM but we never saw him. $500 bill and $150 in tips - but not worth anyone's time. I've been in the service industry for a long time - that team was either very much on the same page of not giving a shit about us, or they were all very much NOT on the same page and not coordinating properly. read more

Went in the evening of 4/3 with my family and the two girls working the hostess stand were kind of off putting and not very helpful. Okay fine. As I was leaving dinner I noticed the same two girls being very rude to another employee. Hoping management cuts their losses with them. Very unprofessional. read more

Way too loud in there and you can't carry on a conversation in there with some sitting right next to you without yelling . You don't get the steak you asked for because they make a bunk and just throw them in a Pyle and just grab any one of them and put on your plate ! Naked potatoes are old and look and taste like they are day old potatoes and just warmed up ! They need to out noise canceling material in the ceiling to help with the noise ! read more

On Valentine's Day you might expect the service to take a while. A packed lobby, people standing and having to park along the last rows are tell tale signs. Our experience was on the contrary! Upon arriving we were sat within 15 minutes. Their employees were like a greeting entourage. They were staffed to meet the needs of their customers that day. We were surprised not to see any peanut shells on the floor; unlike Riverside, CA. Their floor was uncrunchable. That doesn't take away from anything though. When you don't know who to take on a date with you, just go as a family. That's exactly how we did it. Ordered up and everything was mouthwatering savory! We left fully satisfied. The awesome thing was we had gotten there at a perfect time cuz when we left, there was a long ass line out the door! People love 'em! read more

Ordered through the mobile app our food came out at 6:05 we were promised 6 no biggie. I ordered a extra side of green beans we only got two instead of three. After working for a roadhouse for a year and a half I'm pretty sure my filet was actually a sirloin because it was damn near impossible to cut. The steak was burned on the outside and rare on the inside (ordered med rare but it was cold) my loaded mash didn't have sour cream and we got butter but no rolls :( ( our favorite part) I was really looking forward to this meal but it sucker couldn't even eat half of my steak. Definitely a waste of money. Had to order some other food to eat for supper. read more

This review is directed to Mr. Smith the Managing Partner. Every single experience we have ever had at a Texas Roadhouse, whether in Austin, Round Rock, El Paso (best steak ever), Milwaukee, Nashua NH and other places has been excellent. Until, we came to the Roadhouse in Temple, TX around 5:40pm 12/17 not too busy. We were a party of 9 including to children under 10. We were told that it would be 15-25 mins which is fine. 1 hour and 20 minutes later we were seated. My wife asked the young lady 3 times how much longer and her reply every time was 15-25 minutes. Meanwhile we easily saw more than 100 people on the low side get seated. Parties of 5-7 would arrive and get seated immediately (granted we were counting). My wife then asked the Manger her name is Angelique or Angelika not sure. This lady told my wife if we did not want to wait we could go elsewhere after already being an hour into the wait (What gull and she is a manger, I hope you fix that). Not sure how many people would feel about this treatment but we certainly did not like it. We were there to celebrate a birthday we came from Round Rock, Georgetown and Temple. The food was ok but my steak was super dry and my stepson's steak was so salty that he took two bites and did not eat anymore (it was comped). At no time did Angelique the Manger apologize for the inconvenience or assume responsibility for the mishap. In closing Mr. Smith I hope that you address this or at least put some measure in place were this does not happen to other good folks like us. Find a way to make this disaster right. Put yourself and your family in our shoes how you or them have felt. Kind regards, Al -512.999.2732 read more

We went with friends yesterday to celebrate the sacrifices of the men and women of the armed forces who died to protect our nation and its interests. Everything was good, as usual, except the gravy on the 'country fried steak'. I'm not sure what kind of gravy it is supposed to be, but it isn't white gravy as we have it in Texas. White gravy isn't supposed to be sweet and salty. Flour, bacon grease, salt, pepper, and some milk (sometimes cut with a bit of water). That's it, nothing more. Don't yankeefy it with rosemary or anything else. This really ruined the entire plate. read more

I wish I could give zero stars. This restaurant is FILTHY! We got sat at a booth with smooshed food all over the floor. My husband said the men's restroom was so gross he couldn't even use it. Then, I ordered a medium rare ribeye with blue cheese crumbles. I worked at Texas Roadhouse for two years, and had this ordered many times. What I got was a ribeye with blue cheese "dressing" dumped and heated on top. Then when I complained, they tried to push it on me. "This is what you ordered" they said... looked more like curdled gravy. When they finally brought me my actual order, they talked to me as if I was a toddler, and we still paid full price. read more
