Texas Roadhouse

I am so pleasantly surprised about this restaurant. Being a sophisticated diner, I would not have chosen this restaurant but with 4 pre teens in tow this looked like a good choice because, hey you can throw peanut shells on the floor!
We arrived right around 6:30 on a Friday night. We put our name in with the very friendly hostess and were told there was a 15 to 20 minute wait time which was accurate.
while you wait you can hang out at the bar enjoy a drink and enjoy some peanuts.
when we got to our table we were greeted by one of the most adorable servers, Danielle.
Danielle really set the tone for fun for our dining experience. we had a ball!
I ordered their grilled shrimp skewers with lemon pepper butter. it did unfortunately come to the table cold but the urgency to correct it was there so I’m not taking a star away. it happens.
the boys ordered steaks, ribs and burgers and their wasn’t one complaint!
Really great job Texas Road house and your weekly specials along with your wheel of prizes are really great deals!
We will definitely be back!
And make sure you give props to Danielle!

Reserved seating for about 20 people when I was last here. The service tried their best to accommodate our large party, but we still had to be separated into two tables.
The food was okay, and the environment was meh. Loud music was blaring all night, so I wasn’t able to really hold a conversation with anyone during dinner.
The parking lot is huge so there is ample parking available most of the time.

My wife and I went last night for the first time. I won’t be returning. Steaks were bland and didn’t taste like much. They were render but required A1 sauce to even eat it. The steak sauce on the table is watery and awful. I asked for the sirloin to be smothered in onion and mushrooms. They were so big I could have eaten a whole freakin onion! Ew. Let alone, they didn’t even add to the taste. Server was awesome even when my medium well steak came back SUPER pink inside. The manager came by and apologized. I ended up having it well done instead which was not how I usually eat my steaks. It’s interesting that at a steakhouse, the ribs are better than the steak. My sweet potato was good. I won’t be returning. $ 50 for dinner that was hardly better than Applebee’s. No thanks. My wife and I also have been having stomach issues since last night. Smh.

I decided to go here for the first time in over a year, hoping and thinking the standards had changed. Our server was fine — she was on top of things and great. My issues started with the honey butter not having honey. Then my food order. Medium well = light pink, warm center in any steak house. Medium is too bloody for me, well done is too tough for me. My first steak — medium rare. They take it away to try again. My second steak = medium rare. They take IT away. My third steak = medium (at which point the manager is standing over us and I ask him to verify my understanding of medium well, and he agrees with me and even states «I’m not sure what’s going on back there tonight»). My fourth steak (and this is 90 minutes in to us trying to eat) = MEDIUM again. I told them just to give me a box and I took it home. Guess what, microwaving it for 2 minutes and 30 seconds made my steak PERFECTLY medium-​well.
Positives: Host quickly sat us, drinks were served promptly, appetizers were tasty and quick to the table, server was attentive and kind, I kept getting new baked potatoes with each attempted steak (all of which came home with me to be used as leftovers).
Still…Never. Never. Going back.

EVERY TIME WE GO TO TEXAS ROADHOUSE, we end up saying «we love this place!!!»
So I’m upgrading my review to 5 stars. YES, 5 STARS for Texas Roadhouse!!!
We have a large family, including 3 teens. We eat here about twice a month, because this is one of the few places we can bring a family of 6 – 8 (depending on who’s doing what that evening) where everyone will be happy.
Let’s start with what Texas Roadhouse isn’t,
then we can talk about what it is.
This ISN’T a snooty, fine dining, white linen tablecloth, high-​end, ultra expensive a ‘la carte steakhouse. They don’t charge $ 8 extra for a baked potato, or a salad, or my personal favorite — «bread service».
This IS a good, really solid, value priced, nice servers, kid friendly, meat and potatoes family restaurant where your kids can misbehave, and be loud, and throw peanuts on the floor, and no one cares.
The steaks are quite tasty, and almost always cooked very nicely.
Although the menu offers somewhat more expensive ribeyes and strip steaks, we almost always just get the inexpensive sirloin, which very tasty and quite tender. If it’s ever not to your liking, they’ll remake it with no questions and a smile. It’s a real bargain given that dinner includes a baked potato and a huge garden salad
The free rolls and sweetened butter are delicious. Their drinks are solid and inexpensive. Try the Jamaican Cowboy Margarita if you like a somewhat sweet drinks. It’s awesome.
If you want a place that is consistently good, and a great value, and well managed, where you can take the whole family, let the kids be kids, have a couple drinks, and still get out for a fair price, Texas Roadhouse is really solid.
Our large family all love this place…

Best steakhouse in town with regards to bang for the buck. Atmosphere and staff are top notch.
Filets and New York Strip are excellent. Many great side choices.
Closest TRH to campus so sometimes a popular place for out of towners.

One of my favorite resturants! Their ribeyes are one of the best! My server, Emily was fantastic! Definitely will continue to come back!

Wanted a steak. A quick and easy steak… where you can bring kids and eat peanuts. Of course this is the place to go! Overall the service is top notch. The beer was amazingly cold, and I rather enjoy the feel and layout of this particular joint. The food was so-so.Started with the potato skins… which are nothing more than dense potatoey slabs of cheddar with some bacon bits haphazardly chucked on top. No worries… the rolls and peanuts, both delicious, were still on standby. Starter salads came out and were ok… somehow felt as if they were below freezing, but not frozen. I probably could have saved it by asking for more dressing, but I did not. My fault there. Steaks were decent. One came out undercooked, but was ordered on the border of moo’ing so it was understandable. After it was replaced, and the automatic visit from the manager, all was well (he was a super nice guy). I usually get the ‘bottom of the barrel’ sirloins as these places, but went with a strip as they were winking at me from behind the glass case near the entry… might as well just stick to the sirloins… tasted the same really.

Had chicken fried steak it was so bad, the gravy tasted sweet almost like pudding on it. The drink they brought me was awful and the left it on my ticket. Don’t waste your time and the music is so loud you can’t hear anything

That’s an awesome place, This is the second time I have been there. the servers are enthusiastic when we ordered. Bone-​in Ribeye steak medium well is my favorite one. the fat and the meat are mix together with the mushrooms on the top attracted me to come back again! Some sides like caesar salad and the cheese fries are two perfect taste. Good price for Texas roadhouse.

Okay, the food wasn’t bad… it was exactly what I thought it would be.
The steaks were both cooked correctly (medium rare) and tasted great. I had a salad… fresh and I liked the blue cheese dressing. I had green beans as my side and they didn’t look that great, but they tasted good.
I can’t remember my husband’s sides but he seemed to enjoy them fine.
The problem was our server. He was pleasant enough, even nice, really… but he was a terrible server. Just terrible.
Not once during the meal did he ever remove a dirty plate. Not even a salad dish pushed to the side.
Not once did he EVER refill coffee or other beverages… even though they were completely empty… and pushed to the side as a little hint. He had to be flagged down to get drink refills.
My husband’s first cup of coffee was cold…
He brought the check before we were finished eating… in fact my husband was not even half finished. We even made a point of telling him we were not finished with dinner when he tried to leave the check but he didn’t take the hint and left it anyway.
So of course he didn’t offer any dessert.
After my husband finished eating, we flagged him down and I ordered a coffee. He didn’t bring cream or offer it… just dropped it off and walked away.
Of course, he did not bother to charge us for that cup of coffee. He might have had to put a little effort forth.
We sat and drank out coffees (he brought Martin a new one) amidst a pile of dirty dishes, includingMartins first two coffee cups.
Ridiculous.
I considered calling the manager to tell him. Don’t want to get the kid fired… but he was so bad. He WAS friendly… but that’s about all. It was so hard to figure out how to tip.
What would you all do?

I would not recommend this place to anyone. I came here a while ago (probably 2 years now) and I made a simple request for no ice in my drink (because I have tooth sensitivity due to a root canal) and there was ice in it. I wasn’t mad about that because mistakes are made, but I asked the waitress if she could replace it and she looked very pissed off about it.
After about 5 minute we were still deciding what we wanted to order and she came up to us and said «What do you want?» Before she asked us if we were ready to order. My friend said that it will be a few minutes and we waited about 10 more minutes and she just walked by the table many times and when I tried to flag her down she said just a second.
I went to the front and asked for a different waitress, and the new one was nice– like waitresses at every other restaurant. I was eating my food, and it wasn’t that good. I wouldn’t have said anything to anyone, I just would have tipped the new waitress 15−20% and left, but some guy who I think was the manager asked how the meal was and I answered him honestly. I said that it just ok and so did one of my friends, but the other one said that he didn’t really like his food. The manager looked pretty mad, like he just wanted us to say that it was good then walked away. We all tipped the waitress 35% because we feel bad for her for having to work there.

If I’m ever craving good, fairly priced steak, this is the place to go. The steak is cooked to perfection and you have the option of adding grilled onions and cheese on it. It literally melts in your mouth it’s so good.
I’m also a huge potato fanatic because who doesn’t like potatoes? If you don’t like potatoes, haters gonna hate, potatoes gonna potate. That being said, they’re mashed potatoes are on point and so are they’re loaded baked potatoes.
You can get combos and really get your money’s worth. Texas Roadhouse also serves these delicious fresh dinner rolls with cinnamon butter. SO GOOD. It’s like they filled them with crack. I literally can’t stop eating them.
Staff is always extremely friendly as well and quick to respond to your every need! I’ve never had to wait more than 15 minutes to be seated

Worst roadhouse experience ever!!! Today is my birthday, and I went their to celebrate. I just moved to Columbus and I thought this is a chain store so the service and food should be in the same level as any other roadhouse. On the contrary, they both suck!!! My waitress gave me a super bad attitude, even though she knows it is my birthday, and the house salad and sirloin here are the worst I ever had. The bread? Nope, they forgot to bring me one, and I thought it was because they don’t have bread, until in the end I saw other tables have bread… In short: don’t come here, ever!

A couple weeks ago a buddy and I ordered a couple steaks for takeout. After waiting the 45 minutes, we drove to the restaurant to pick up the food. The food wasn’t ready yet and we ended up having to wait there literally another hour! When we finally got the food and got home, we discovered they forgot one of our steaks. We had to drive 15 minutes back to the restaurant to pick up my friend’s steak. So we got back to the restaurant to get the missing NY Strip, and they give us a small, overcooked steak. When we asked where the chili side dish was, we were told they were out. Not a good experience.

For a more in-​depth review please see my Polaris review, which is 5 star
This place does not get a five star for two reasons.
1. They charged us $ 6 for extra chicken in the grilled chicken salad and the Polaris restaurant only charges $ 3.50. We asked to see a manager and he would not adjust.
2. We were there for nearly an hour and not once got a refill. Unacceptable.
The only reason the rating is still a 4-​star here is the food is fantastic and the people are friendly and I believe this may have just been an aberration… Will update though if we encounter further issues such as the above.

While in Columbus for work, I was just planning on going back to my hotel and purchasing a sandwich or something mediocre from the «bistro.» However, I randomly had a craving for Texas Roadhouse (since I don’t have any nearby my home in Pittsburgh) and just had to check out this location.
I love that from the moment you sit down at Texas Roadhouse, you have food placed in front of you. First there are peanuts in a little bucket on the table followed by those out-​of-​this-​world yeast rolls with cinnamon butter. The rolls are just so ridiculously good… dreaming of them now!
I started out with a Raspberry Tea Vodka because, well, I had some work meal per diem to spend! Though tasty, it could have had more of a vodka kick — it almost tasted too much like Raspberry Sweet Tea. For dinner, I ordered the 8 oz Dallas Fillet with a Caesar salad and Sweet Potato on the side. The steak was tasty, though not up to the level of some other fillets I’ve had recently, and the salad and potato were just OK.

It was steak night and this was the chosen destination. It was Friday evening and we walked in and got seated right away.
I ordered the NY strip and the boyfriend had the prime rib. We both ordered medium but they ended up more medium-​rare… but I’d rather have a steak underdone than over done. We both cleaned our plates which is probably the review that should be here instead of my prattling on. Anyway, my only knock on the place was our server… she rarely left us alone. It was about every 30 – 45 seconds that she was at our table asking us something. If she could dial back on the attention a tad, she’d be aces.

HANDS DOWN BEST CHILLI I HAVE EVER HAD.
If you don’t try the chilli you are only cheating yourself.
Sincerly,
In love with TRH Chilli
They also make birthday time fun (wink)

Usually we eat at the Polaris location but we were heading in this direction anyway so we decided to give this one a try. Is it me or are the rolls getting smaller? Anyway, as always the food was on par with my prime rib being cooked just right (did not have to send it back like I sometimes do) and hubs hunk of beef was good too.
Service was good as well but I do have one gripe. Why oh why do they charge $ 2.39 for club soda which is just fizzy water??? And they ring it up as Sprite on the check. Not cool!
