We had a great experience at Texas roadhouse - Waco. From the moment we walked in the service was friendly, efficient and welcoming. Our server, Joaquin is very friendly and attentive, keeping drinks refilled and made sure everything came out just right. The food was really great, perfectly cooked steaks, fresh salads, and nice and hot sides. Those rolls, you already know, those rolls!!! My husband likes the extra brown ones so he was in so excited tonight. Everything arrived hot and exactly as ordered. What really stood out was the management presence, Zac runs this location very well being there visible, checking on tables, and making sure guests are taken care of. That level of attention makes a difference. We will be back! read more

Went to celebrate the wife's birthday so thought it would be a nice treat ,almost always get good food and service ,Not this time ,service was good but didn't notice we meaning two people could not eat half of one entree. The first prime rib (medium rare) came out medium well and half fat the second came out cooked correctly but was so fatty and stringy that we ether got tired of chewing and spat it out or didn't put it in our mouths and because it was so hard to cut it was so cold even with dipping in au juice it was just inedible and by then the undercooked baked potato was cold also. Again service was ok just should have been more concerned! And for people that say prime rib has fat! Yes we understand stand some but not half ,if not more and stringy like beef skirt ! For 29.95 and no I don't mind paying for quality food BUT this was not! Will we go back? Yes just not for Prime rib! read more

The food is always so good! The service is on point the place is big & nice inside.. read more

I am writing to express my disappointment regarding the service we have received during several recent visits to your Waco location. Over the past few months, my family and I have visited this restaurant multiple times, and unfortunately the level of service has noticeably declined. In the past, there were several managers who were actively present in the dining room, checking on tables and ensuring guests were taken care of. During those visits, managers would frequently stop by to ask how everything was going, which made the experience feel welcoming and well-managed. Recently, however, this level of attentiveness seems to be missing. Managers often walk through the dining area without acknowledging guests or checking on their experience. Additionally, during our last three visits, we have consistently experienced difficulty locating our servers. They frequently disappear for extended periods of time, making it difficult to request refills, additional bread, or assistance when something is wrong with the meal. On multiple occasions, not only our table but nearby tables have struggled to locate their server on the floor. Unfortunately, tonight's visit was no different. Our server, Gunner, was largely absent from our table for most of the evening. We repeatedly had to search for him and wait for assistance when we needed refills or had issues with our food. My wife ordered the beef tips, which arrived with very little gravy. When she later asked him to run a gift card to help pay for my parents' bill, he made a snarky comment about having to manually enter the numbers and walked away in a visibly frustrated manner. His attitude and lack of attentiveness were not the level of service I would expect from someone representing Texas Roadhouse. What made the experience even more disappointing is that this was meant to be my wife's birthday dinner. She was genuinely excited to celebrate here, as we have enjoyed dining at this location frequently over the nearly five years we have lived in Waco. Unfortunately, the poor service significantly impacted what should have been a special evening. We have always enjoyed the food and atmosphere at Texas Roadhouse, which is why this decline in service has been so disappointing. Based on our recent experiences, we have decided that we will no longer be returning to this location. Instead, we plan to visit the Temple location moving forward. I hope this feedback is taken seriously and used to improve the level of service for future guests. read more

Contacted this location for a large group to-go order for a team. I called and spoke with one of the managers, Tre, about a week and a half ahead of our trip. He was super nice and helpful. I emailed him our order a few days ahead, and it was ready on time when I got there on day of. Tre was awesome and it was such a smooth process. Definitely my best experience at a TX Roadhouse. read more

I want to give a special shout-out to THOMAS, our server. He is fantastic -- very friendly, attentive, and professional. He made our experience excellent and always made sure everything was perfect. Great service! read more

Never had a chance to go to a Texas Roadhouse Restaurant in California. So today, now that I am in Texas, it's just but a shame not to experience dining in one. Reservations was made by my daughter-in -law on the app and we got in in 10 minutes . We were seated in an over crowded area that had diners conversing too loud and practically can not help hearing their exchange of discussions. Katelin gave us an exceptional and attentive service. Brought us 2 bread baskets of their tasty rolls and creamy cinnamon butter. I ordered the FALL-OFF-THE-BONE BBQ baby back ribs and it didn't disappoint. The ribs were tender and seasoned well. read more

This place is terrible! They have terrible customer service and do not know how to cook food. Ordered medium rare burger and it comes out rare almost blue all mushy. The waitress was not willing to do anything about it and finally the manager came to grudgingly take it off of the ticket. Don't go here as there are so many better places to eat in Waco. read more

Went to dinner this evening. The parking "Gods" were with us ... found a parking spot directly across from the entrance... walked in and was seated within 5 minutes. Our meal was right in line with our luck! It was delicious! I got the steak and shrimp with 2 sides. My "Guy" got the pulled pork dinner. I can't express how delicious my meal was. That steak was melt in your mouth tender! And the shrimp had the perfect amount of seasoning. Our waitress was spot on with drink refills . So all in all it was a perfect Friday night date night! Thank you from one very satisfied customer. read more

Almost walked out because the hostess was "less than hospitable" when we asked for a table. So glad we didn't. Our server Hunter, was the epitome of customer service, brand representative...you name it. EXCELLENT. Food was good. Not too many places can cook a steak well done and have it still be moist, so cudos to the chef. read more

Oh yes!!! Texas Roadhouse was awesome! I had a sirloin steak and my husband had a burger and fries! It was hot and good tasting food! The server was quick and attentive. We were there for the special Olympics fundraiser. The Waco police were there & we bought a T-shirt to support the cause! The restaurant was busy but everyone was taken care of properly! Our food & service were awesome! We will be back for sure!! They have the best rolls and honey butter? Yummy!! The burgers are amazing and my steak was cooked to perfection! It tasted great! It was very delicious! The French fries are really tasty at this restaurant too! I can't wait to go back again! We also enjoy sitting at the bar because it's a great atmosphere ... read more

AVOID THIS PLACE Wife ordered a well done/no pink steak. It was med/well. Sent it back and when it was returned it was still not cooked well done. I had to get up twice and go to the bar and order/get new drinks. When I complained to a person who said he was the manager, he did not care. Offered us peanuts and some rolls. Had to give one star, could not give zero. read more

I am not one to leave bad reviews on places, but the service here was horrible. Me and my family waited 2 hours after ordering our food before we even got it. we had multiple different servers coming one after another trying to take our order again even after we had ordered. I ordered a sweet tea and it came unsweet 2 times until they finally got it right. Whenever my stepdad asked when we'd get our food, and yes he had a slight tone in his voice considering we'd been waiting so long, the waitress had an attitude at him when it was her fault we were in this situation in the first place. Eventually, we got our food but by that time we weren't even hungry because our appetizers had gone to settle. All of our food was unseasoned and just not very good. Steaks weren't rare like ordered, burgers were plain when ordered everything on it, mashed potatoes weren't good. This experience was horrible and we probably will not be attending anytime soon. If I could give negative stars, I would. Oh! and one more thing, we still had to pay full price for our food. After everything. Most would assume a discount of some sort, but no. Nothing. Texas Roadhouse definitely needs to get their crap together. This was horrid. read more

We came here because I won a 50 dollar gift card at church as a door prize and got a 20 dollar one from my boss. So the place as others noted was busy and they text you when you are about to be seated. We waited about 20 minutes. The hostess was very nice. It was somewhat loud. We were seated. It was my roommates birthday. We ordered a cactus blossom and got the free rolls. I didn't care really for the cinnamon butter. The dipping sauce for the cactus blossom was pretty great and the fried onion what could be wrong with that. She got the road kill dinner and liked. I ordered the country fried sirloin w salad and fully loaded baker. Everything was very good and service was very good. Neither too little or two much. I can see coming back for special occasions. Our tab w a hot tea and iced tea was about 45. The service so good I gave the server the balance from both cards. It is a good value for what you actually get. We will be back again. read more

I can't remember when I've ever been disappointed with a meal here. They make the best garden salad in the business. My ribeye was cooked to a fabulous med-rare. Baked potato was soft and very hot. My sweet server, Kaylan did her job very well. read more

If I could give a zero stars for what I just experienced I would. me and my girlfriend come here sit down and then get told our server will be there in a minute. We sit there for 25 minutes. Seen 10 different waitresses come to other tables and not one come and stop and say hey, have you been served? I never even got asked for a drink. What an embarrassment honestly. read more

It started out asking for a certain section by the bar and the employee told us it wasn't open yet. However, moments after somebody was seated there. Then when we grabbed our silverware, it was dirty. Then when we needed our drinks filled, the waiter was nowhere to be found the manager came by and I mentioned it to her and yet I still had to go to the bar to get my own drink. I visit a lot of Texas Roadhouse's and I would say this was my worst experience. read more

I just want to highlight that we had a better server than we've had in months (maybe years). Scott, you did awesome and I hope your manager sees this! Food was above average (4 stars) consistent as usual. The service exceeded expectations! He was so nice that he even made our infant feel welcome (and got her a special chair), kept drinks refilled, brought special hot sauce, and ran out to the parking lot when we forgot our leftovers! read more

They have the best top shelf Long Island Ice tea and prime ribs. Additionally, the dinner rolls are excellent.

Our server was fine, my boyfriend ordered loaded fries didn't receive them had to ask for them and then it came to our steaks... boyfriend steak ordered medium came out medium rare, mine was suppose to be medium rare came out super rare and then when asked if they could cook it up to medium the manager gave it back WELL DONE. Management could've been better I don't blame the server he seemed like he had a tough day. read more

My experience here was not good at all we got our seat and as soon as we were seated the lady asked us all if we wanted to DIET cokes she did not ask what drinks we wanted she asked if we all wanted DIET cokes then we had finished our basket of rolls and never brought more which is what they are mostly known for then she proceeds to rush us while we are eating the servers name was Sarah very bad service from her do not recommend read more

Meghan was our server tonight and she was so sweet and patient. She was quick and helpful, we got the potato skins and the beef tips, and a few drinks and all was great! TXRH is always fun and inviting but Meghan was by far the best! read more

Food was good, but the music was so loud we had to yell just to hear the person next to us and the waitress. Waitress seem to be possibly very new, she got multiple things wrong, took way too long in-between trips to us. Also we were seated underneath a dripping air conditioner, we ended up scrunched into the booth to avoid being dripped on. read more

Wait time was about 5-10 minutes was seated in a booth. And was immediately served fresh baked biscuits with butter they were fresh and hot butter just melted wonderfully. First time ever visiting Texas Roadhouse we have a newly opened one in National City,CA but wait times are over an hour so was glad to taste it here in Texas ;) Steak was aight Cooked medium loaded potato was good had a side bowl of chili waitress was awesome friendly and very polite. read more

Worse service and food I have ever had. Was for a bday party my meal never came. They gave me meal to take home was totally wrong just foil Potato no condiments, well done steak instead of medium. One of our party got a kids meal instead of adult. Slow service and charged for cocktail never received. Horrible read more

We ate here as a family pre Christmas celebration. We arrived before they opened...and there was plenty of parking, but within 15 minutes the lot was full. When the doors open we got in line...the wait was about 10 minutes. They have a great set up in regards to service...the employees line up and they quickly move the line through and seat people promptly! We were seated and I then realized the table was just too small to accommodate my family..no problem we were moved to a bigger table without issue. The waitress was prompt, courteous, and listened to our questions, as this was our first time. The food...the food was filling...hot...and tasted great no complaints. We were not rushed by staff and took our time chatting (we drove in from Dallas...and the rest of the FAM drove in from San Antonio). I would definately recommend. read more

Texas Roadhouse does not honor a senior discount. They're early bird special from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. is only good if you are dining inside the restaurant. It is not stated on their menu or on their website that it is only good for dining in. When confronted with the manager about these irregularities, the manager just shrugged her shoulders and said that is the restaurants' policy. It is very difficult to dine in the restaurant because the music is so loud conversation cannot be made by the patrons. Definitely will not be frequently this restaurant in the future. read more

The food is amazing!!! Service okay,but the bread rolls keep you sane. And the ambiance is nice.

Texas Roadhouse Waco Tx is amazing. One of the best Customer Service experiences I have had in a long time! Way to go wait staff and the Management of your team they are second to none. Good not have had a better experience! This is not easy to come by in this day and age. Food was cooked to perfection and they were adamant to make sure to check that it was done to order. Way to go!!! Keep up the great work!!! read more

I normally have zero issues with Texas Roadhouse, but I decided to get a salad and bread for lunch here since it's close to the hotel I'm staying while visiting. I ordered only a salad and rolls, my pickup time was 21 minutes. Come time to pickup, they said it was not ready. So, I waited another 20 minutes for it to be finished. Which for a salad and bread is pretty insane. What sucks worse is that the chicken in my salad had hair cooked into it. Definitely won't be back here again. read more

Never again. Ordered take out. It's now more than 30 minutes past the time they said they'd have it ready. Parking lot is so crowded you'd think it was the only restaurant in town. We may or may not get food tonight. Oh...& they make you pay in advance when you order. So we're trapped. Horrible!! read more

Wow! I don't know what I was expecting, but I was absolutely blown away by the service and the food at Texas Roadhouse. Our server Zac was incredibly hospitilable, knowledgeable, and gave us amazing service. All of this and the receipt was significantly less than I expected. It's no wonder the restaurant was packed. This should be a 5 star establishment. We will definitely be going back. read more

Hands down the BEST of the BEST in Waco, you can never go wrong at roadhouse. They have plenty of servers and the food is always delicious and warm every single time despite them being busy! Our server in particular had a good attitude and even joked with us. It's always packed to the rim but it's for a good reason trust me. Me and my husband always get steak and I haven't tasted a better one yet. read more

A year ago we moved to the Waco area. We visited the Waco Texas Roadhouse and loved how it was so much better than the Temple and Killeen locations. Even expressing how great it was to the staff. Since January 2024, our opinion has changed and tonight was the final straw. The Waco Texas Roadhouse is not about quality of service. We have had five peoples orders cooked wrong during our last two visits. The delay to eat with the others is an emotional drain on the joy of being with family. The focus goes from family being together, talking about our families. To waiting for our family members to get their food. The conversation turns to wondering when will the food come out and will it be right. During my father's first visit with us in January 2024, they cooked his steak wrong. The manager was all about making it and things rights! Great Job Sir! Tonight, my father's steak was cooked wrong three times. They took his steak back, returned it, and it was still wrong. They had to be told the french fries were now cold while waiting for his steak. The third time they came back, his steak was still wrong. MEDIUM, NOT RARE!!!!! Everything was brought to the attention of one of the three managers on duty. The one manager, knew the second and third steaks were wrong and was questioned about the bill. She never followed up with us prior to us leaving. She never brought us the adjusted bill. Instead the waiter brought us our final check. This was all after we were seated and provided no silverware to put butter on our rolls. Then when our salads were delivered we still had to remind them we did not have any silverware. They brought us plastic ware, saying the silverware was being wrapped. I had to ask two servers for pink packets for my wife's drink. The forth time I asked she finally got it. We are very disappointed with this establishment and do not plan on returning. We will become regulars at The Longhorn Steak House in Waco instead. read more

All good! Great deal! Excellent service, margaritas, from the hot rolls , fresh salad, huge baked potato, and great sirloin!!

Celebrated a birthday dinner here. The place was packed and things were a little slow, but not because of anyone's fault. The server was wonderful. She saw one of our family members was having a particularly bad day and she went out of her way to cheer her up. It worked. The food was great and all the servers did the typical birthday thing! It was a fun and happy time. The food was delicious! I had the Portobello Chicken, low cal and delicious! Everyone loved their food. read more

We went for my Birthday. It was last Sunday around 3. I ordered a 6oz sirloin, medium rare. When it was brought to me, the server did not wait for me to cut into it like they usually do. It was cooked medium well so after about 8 or so minutes I flagged the server down, Eric was his name, and ask another steak cooked medium rare. The steak finally came as we were cutting the cake. Also, we ordered an appetizer. It came after our main course. read more

Disappointed an entire team of athletes who look forward to their one Texas Roadhouse team dinner every season. Coach called well ahead and understood they could accommodate our team. However, when our team arrived (on a Tuesday night), they were told it would be a minimum of an hour and half, and they refused to split the party up. Three of us had come ahead and were at a small table with ~20 seats in view just from our table, and we had had no wait upon arriving. It was clear from the manner of communication that they didn't want the business and were willing to disappoint a group of kids to avoid having it. (And in a college town.) Still watching while those tables continue to sit empty... Damian was a great server for the 3 of us, and it's a shame that what could have been another wonderful experience at Texas Roadhouse was completely dampened by poor customer service toward our kids. read more

We were trapped on I35 heading home and decided to stop here for dinner! This place was so busy but all the employees we interacted with were very nice and our server didn't rush us at all. Everything we ordered tasted great! You can't beat those warm rolls. The side salads were larger then I expected. Our steaks were cooked to Medium and my mashed potatoes were very fluffy. read more
