My daughter found this restaurant, Texas Roadhouse, and it is absolutely amazing. Service, food, atmosphere, and price all deserve a full 5 stars.Here are the highlights: 1 Bread The bread is incredibly fragrant and soft--so delicious. They even brought it to us twice, complimentary. 2 Steak The steak is fresh, not frozen, and you can really taste the difference. 3 Service The servers proactively refill your drinks for free. Our drinks were refilled three times without us even asking. What surprised us the most is how affordable it was. We ordered 5 drinks, 2 baskets of bread, 1 salad, 1 shrimp dish, and a 28 oz steak--so much food we couldn't even finish it--and it cost only $90. With a 20% tip, the total was just $108. Oh my god‼ I seriously want to move to Connecticut just for this. read more

I visited Texas Roadhouse on May 24, 2026. This review is not about the food, which is always consistent and great, and the front desk hosts are always welcoming and professional. The reason for this review is my repeated experience with a waitress named Skylar. Every time we are assigned to her, she initially comes across as aggressive/passive toward me while taking our order. After the food arrives, her attitude noticeably changes, seemingly once it is time to secure a tip. This behavior has been very consistent during multiple visits. What stands out to me is that I observe her treating other customers very warmly and differently, which makes the interaction even more uncomfortable. As frequent customers of Texas Roadhouse, we have never had an issue with any other waiter or waitress at this location. I believe management should pay attention to these interactions because customer service consistency matters just as much as the food experience. read more

I've always wanted to try Texas Roadhouse because it looks huge from i84. Luckily, I was the receipt of an obscure gift card selection to show I'm appreciated for work, and Texas Roadhouse was the only name I recognized. You get to their parking lot through the BJs. There seems to be a lot of spaces, but the waiting area multiple rows long is intimidating. For the cold season, the inside seems sufficient. You can pick your own steak from a counter or order off the menu. I opted for menu, and it was delicious. If you're going to get potatoes as a side, consider getting them loaded, otherwise they would have been too peppery. Portions are more then fair, as is the case with dessert as well. So much chocolate! read more

It's super convenient since it's right by the highway I take home from work. One day, I stayed late and was really hungry, so I thought I'd swing by the bar for a bite to eat. The staff were incredibly welcoming and friendly, and I noticed that it seemed like everyone there was a regular. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger without the bun, and it was cooked just right. Definitely hit the spot! Decor and ambiance is like any other Texas Roadhouse. read more

Came right when they opened and I'm so glad we did! Everything was so fresh, hot and ready to eat. It was my first time trying the blue crush lemonade and it was so good! Not too sweet, just right. Great location right off 84 and if you like the buns here, you can order a whole tray of them! read more

To start off the food is alright, everything was pretty good but you can tell some of the sides were pre-packaged and out of a box, it wasn't a big deal to me though. The service on the other hand was phenomenal. Our server Jakob was on the ball and very consistent with helping us. Hands down one of the best servers I've come across after years of going out to eat. The service and ambiance of the restaurant alone would draw me back. read more

Texas roadhouse what can I say it is excellent. I love the food. I love the atmosphere. I love the appetizers and steaks are reasonably priced. I always get a good waitress . Very paranoid. read more

Ok first of all, our server was excellent However, I forgot his name. I think it's Mike. We had 3 picky kids and 4 adults total. He was very patient and attentive. He would always anticipate our needs and deliver. As far as the food...I love their steak and bread of course! I've been to high end steak places but Texas RH has me on a choke hold . I don't have pics because I just ate it! Had left overs. I had the bone in rib eye. Delicious! read more

Food was delicious and service was excellent. Enjoyed the steak and shrimp combo. Staff was friendly and very accommodating. read more

A mixed bag. Place was big, loud, fun and busy and still the waiter was very fast in refilling drinks and bringing bread and appetizers and very friendly. However, one of the orders had both sides brought incorrectly, with one of the sides never making it to the table despite the apology and promise of correction. The grilled chicken and tenders were tasty, though everything was saltier than it should have been. But jf I were to judge a steakhouse for their steak, the ribeye I ordered tasted charred, more well-done than the medium-well I asked for. Now, you'd probably tell me that I should have asked for medium if I didn't want a burnt dry steak, but I just had that same cut expertly cooked at Casa Oaxaca in Bethel a week ago, and they are not a steakhouse. Based on the menu, I wanted the experience of a scaled-up Cracker Barrel, but despite the delicious and abundant breads (they kept bringjng more and more), and some of the plates being tasty, a steak that I didn't enjoy biting into or wanted to finish is a big no-no for what should be their primary focus. Disappointingly, I think Cracker Barrel might still be a more consistent and safer choice across the board, even if they wouldn't smother you in bread rolls. read more

I ordered the prime-rib. It had a weird taste to it. I googled it... Apparently it is the rub, it has soy sauce. It was very off putting. Everything else I had a couple bites of green beans have bacon in them, the salad has cheese, eggs, croutons the rolls are who do you covered with oil? The butter has cinnamon, sugar. So overall, for me, not good. My husband enjoyed his rib eye. The waiter was nice. read more

We were looking for a good steak house, and decided to give Texas Roadhouse a try. We haven't been back there in years. We were promptly brought a basket of their delicious warm sweet bread rolls with cinnamon honey butter. Their house salad was very good. Looking at the menu I couldn't decide whether I wanted a steak, or ribs, so I got the combination steak, and ribs that solve that problem. The steak was cooked perfectly and had a nice flavor to it.The ribs were excellent,and the meat just fell off the bone. My wife had the grill barbecue chicken, and steak combination with mashed potatoes. I do suggest tasting your food before seasoning it. Something I always do.The steak and fries had a tad to much salt. The service was excellent as well. Hi read more

When it comes to steaks Texas Roadhouse has been a favorite since I was young. Of course I miss some of the flair of peanut shells all over the place but with allergies and Covid the change is understandable. You definitely want to reserve a table online for a quick easy dinner. We didn't wait five minutes to be seated. It was a festive night since a local school was doing a fundraiser. Even the lils (8&6) thoroughly enjoyed their meal. They tried my chili and liked it. I asked if it tasted like my homemade chili. All three of my kids assured me that my chili is the best. I believe them but somehow wonder if Christmas lurking around the corner is influencing their tastebuds lol. I took away one star because the steak was under seasoned which was a surprise to me. Usually I love the onion and mushrooms being added but I ended up scraping them off this day. The steak however was cooked to perfection -med rare. read more

You know I am the type of guy to complain about many things but this Texas Roadhouse was just alright. Nothing too awful but nothing good either. Noise was a little bit of a problem but expected from a Friday night However it was really messy the floors where I was walking was a little dirty and could use a clean up from time to time Service was great our waiter was a really nice guy who was super friendly and treated us like we were any other person Food was average at best nothing less expected from a Texas Roadhouse However where the hell was the peanuts???? Y'all run out?? read more

One star is generous. The only thing I can give them credit for is they are consistent....consistent at being terrible. They opened in Waterbury about 5-7 years ago. I tried them when they first opened. The service was horrible. The food was okay, not great but okay. So I switched to take out only, gave it 3 tries. The service and food was horrible so I stopped going. Like I said, it had been 5-7 years since I have been there. My mom was up and my son likes steaks. I reluctantly agreed. We went early so seating was immediate. The table was in the back but it was comfortable. The restaurant was clean. The server came over soon after being seated to take drink orders. That is when anything positive I can say ended. My son ordered a virgin Strawberry Daiquiri. The waiter said they couldn't make it. Confused, I informed him that they make the Daiquiri the way they normally would, just don't put in the rum. He said that they can't. Corporate rules. I was fine with paying full price, not asking for a discount because it was alcohol free. He said my son would have to choose from the alcohol free drinks listed on the menu. Still confused, I said he doesn't want any of those. The waiter said that the blenders they use have alcohol in them. Which didn't make any sense because I would hope that they rinse the blenders after each mixed drink. So we abandoned the drink. I was going to order a drink but I wasn't going to give them the revenue. After that issue, I also changed what I was going to order, intentionally depriving them of significant revenue. My son ordered the $30 16oz NY Strip steak. I was going to order that too, but I changed it to a hamburger. I was clear and specific. I just wanted lettuce tomato and raw onion. Nothing else. I was clear and specific, repeating myself. When the hamburger arrived, it had mayonnaise on the bottom bun. Disgusting. So far, their horrible service didn't disappoint. I couldn't wait to finish up and leave never to return. The waiter stopped over a couple of more times. I am assuming a manager made rounds to all the tables asking, "is everything okay?". Being with my family who doesn't like confrontation, all I could do was so, "no, we're good," when all I wanted to do was raise the issues I we experienced. Then they use those stupid kiosk check out tablets at the table. I like a printed receipt so I can check for accuracy. Despite everything, I still left the waiter an 18% tip. I was so happy to leave. Being that after all this time they still haven't changed, I don't believe they will. Even if TRH gave me a full refund and a free meal, I still would not go back. They're just horrible. Multiple things go wrong. It is not a fun, enjoyable experience. What they sell is not exclusive. You can get steak anywhere and even less expensive. I love that I can choose where to spend my discretionary spending income. It is not here and I absolutely not recommend them and will actively advise my friends, family and co-workers to avoid TRH. Last, it is very off putting to see employees in shirts that boldly state, "I love my job!" I have had many jobs I enjoyed and was proud of but never did I wear tee shirts that pronounced it. I wore company logo shirts to promote my comany. What company forces their employees to wear shirts pronouncing "I love my job!"? That's a red flag to customers. In summary, the service is horrible. The food is not accurate. They will not accommodate you allowing you an opportunity to order what you want. They are expensive and the food is not exclusive to this chain, so the value is not there. It was not fun or pleasant for us and this experience extends over years. I think I have been their 6 times and each time was a horror show. I'm done. I can't wait until they go out of business and close up shop so something else can move in. TRH will eventually join the list of other chains that shrink and eventually go under. Experiences like mine are the foreshadowing of the end of TRH. read more

Had an awesome experience tonight for dinner. Our waiter, Dashawn, was beyond awesome. He refilled our drinks before anyone asked checked on us regularly but appropriately and was super personable. The food was great tonight too but we really appreciate his upbeat personality and attentiveness. read more

I love Texas Roadhouse. I don't care if it's a chain. Every time I go there I get great service and great food. I love their soft, hot rolls with that cinnamon butter. I mean it's like eating fried dough! My steaks are always cooked perfectly, grilled to perfection, flavorful and juicy. I always get their loaded baked potato which goes perfectly with my 16 oz. Strip steak. Try the Craft Mango beer, it's delicious and I am going to buy it for myself to keep in my own fridge. Our waiter, Matt, gave me an ice cold frosted mug every time. It's things like that, that make a difference. The service is always great, the prices are reasonable, and the meals always come out in a timely manner. I even had their ribs one time and they were fall off the bone finger lickin' good. The place is always packed and it doesn't surprise me. Can't wait to go back. read more

I had the Country Fried Sirloin Steak. The gravy was extremely salty, the sirloin was breaded so thickly, it took a bit of " fork and knife" work to find the sirloin which was pretty small. After removing the breading, there was little left to eat. I could have eaten the same quality meal at that place where they have all the BIG rocking chairs in front. Never expected to get such a poor quality meal from the Roadhouse. Hope you rethink keeping this entree on the menu. The server was polite but a bit reserved for the atmosphere the Roadhouse would like to project. Edgar read more

This place is hit or miss. 7/10 times it's good 1/10 it's Great 2/10 times it's terrible Bar usually has seats available but restaurant seating is always very busy. Prime rib is all I get and when it's good it's great! Service is very good and they go out of their way to be friendly. Texas theme decor and post and beam walls. Line dancing for birthdays. Great home made bread read more

I love this Texas Roadhouse. I visit at least one or more times per week for either lunch, dinner, or takeout. They are my favorite go to restaurant for a wholesome meal. Everything they make is phenomenal; some of my favorite dishes include their bone-in ribeye, fall off the bone ribs, grilled shrimp, beef tips, loaded mashed potatoes, and chicken Caesar salad with homemade Caesar dressing. Yum! Their bread with cinnamon butter is to die for! When dinning in, to complement all their dishes I always get a frozen Margarita with a Patron Kicker. Let me know if you ever need recommendations on a dish, I've tried nearly everything on the menu over the last 6 years. read more

The warm bread and cinnamon butter were a killer start--soft, sweet, and super satisfying. I tried the Twisted Mozzarella Sticks and they were crunchy with great cheese pulls. My 16oz ribeye came smothered in mushrooms (like seriously covered), which I loved. Sides were solid: buttery corn and mashed potatoes topped with cheddar and bacon--no complaints there. Only downside: one part of the steak was more red than the pink I expected. Still, left full and happy! read more

Texas Roadhouse is my son's go to restaurant anytime o want to get him out of the house. The rolls are placed on the table as soon as you are seated and never disappoints. My favorite meal is the steak and shrimp combo. This time I tried it with the ribeye. My two sides were the house salad and loaded bake potato. Our server was on top of making sure we never ran out of drinks and was very kind. The meal was delicious. Steak cooked perfect and juicy without being too fatty. We will of corse be back! read more

I just enjoy Texas Roadhouse so much. You have to time it just right- and it is always delicious- especially for the price. I am still in shock they don't open for lunch during the week- because the parking lot seems full whenever they ARE open. We have sampled a variety of choices- and have enjoyed everything. Besides the obvious order of any steak- that they will cook to your liking- even "black and blue"- we enjoy the ribs, country fried streak, and burgers. We will continue to return. read more

Very disappointing, my wife's NY Boneless Strip steak was very dry and tough. My beef kadobs were also tough and dry. Both dinners were cooked to perfection, so it must be the meat or beef they started with. They must be using USDA Select or something ungraded to control costs. The flavor on both beef dishes were tasty, but the meat was tough as shoe leather. Their beef is not USDA Choice in my opinion. read more

This is my 2nd time ordering from here. The first time the porterhouse was amazing! Today I could barely chew it! I ordered it medium well and the smallest side was good, but the other larger side I had to throw away. My hubby ordered ribs and steak and they didn't give him the ribs. Really disappointed. I'm not sure if I will go to this location again. read more

This review is for our waitress! Kristy was an absolute pleasure! We were part of a 15 person party and the only ones who showed up on time.

Went here for a fathers bday dinner. 35 mins for apps. Another 40 for our food. My daughters food came out wrong after waiting that whole time. The waiter Matt, was very condescending and rude.

I called 15 times and got hung up on!!! All I wanted to know was if I could bring a Birthday cake in. So much from phone mangers!!

I've eaten at this location numerous times and have never been disappointed. Love the fun atmosphere and the friendly people that work there. Great steaks and burgers. When I went the other night, I ordered chicken for the 1st time ever (because I felt like having a salad and prefer chicken as the protein on salad) and even their chicken is excellent. I also had a side-kicker of ribs which was good too! They also have a take out window in the back that I have used many times. Just order on-line and they send you a text when it's ready and you do not need to even go into the restaraunt. There are dedicated parking spaces for take out. They do a good job of packaging the food so there are no leaks. read more

I don't eat at chain restaurants because I like fresh food without preservatives. Craving chicken tenders Texas Roadhouse was recommended to me. As with everyplace I pulled up the restaurant info- was shocked to read not only are the tenders made in-house, all of their sides and salad dressing are too! The chicken critters (7 pieces) are always fresh, well seasoned, and not oily. Comes with 2 sides. Sweet potato melts in your mouth with the honey cinnamon butter, side salad is great portion and not boring - tomato, cheddar cheese, homemade croutons, egg(had mine without) carrot and red cabbage. Buttermilk ranch is delicious! They give you 4 buns and butter with your order. Been ordering here for two years now and have not tried a steak because I never want to pass up the chicken! You can't beat the price- $11.49 for all this AND the best chicken tenders in town! read more

The old standby for meals if you can get in. Went for my son's birthday and we were able to get in and be seated without a wait. We were lucky, it was really cold out and Christmas Eve so a much smaller crowd. The best thing about it is that it is consistent. You get what you order and it's usually good. No problem this trip either, everything was good. We don't come often but we enjoy it when we do. read more

At first glance I didn't think this place would be good. I thought it would be a typical chain but I was wrong. Food and service was great. We all had steaks and it came out cooked medium rare the way we wanted. Waitress was wonderful and worth the 20+ tip we gave her. read more

Always a good spot, the blooming onion never misses and their burger size portions are more than enough to take home to. Sometimes the fries can be over seasoned with salt but usually they are great. I will recommend not stopping by during the dinner rush hours, especially during popular holiday weekends - we waited over 1hr to be seated because the restaurant was packed! You could tell how the staff was doing it's best to handle the big surge and I'm sure it was not easy for them and I command them for their work ethics and endurance all the while maintaining a great attitude! read more

Went about week ago, was not happy at all waited 10 minutes after being seated for waitress to take drink order Ordered food right away, server delivered food, baked potato was cold,chicken fried chicken luke warm, no waitress in site. Never saw her again until she asked if we were all set & pulled up our check on the kiosk. No idea it was an awful meal, lousy waitress. This place is good for a while then they go down the tubes. Why they can't be consistent is beyond me. read more
