5 Proven Texas Roadhouse Ordering Hacks
💡 Insider Steakhouse Secrets to Save Money & Eat Better
- 1. Pick Your Exact Steak from the Butcher Meat Display: You do not have to settle for whatever steak the kitchen grabs. Walk up to the glass meat display case in the lobby and pick out the exact cut with the marbling thickness you prefer. Tell your host or server the ticket number on that steak.
- 2. Use the Digital Waitlist (Call-Ahead Seating): Texas Roadhouse does not take traditional table reservations, but you can join the official Texas Roadhouse Digital Waitlist via their app before leaving your house. This moves your party to the front of the line.
- 3. Order Extra Honey Cinnamon Butter To-Go: You can purchase fresh baked rolls by the half-dozen ($2.99) or dozen ($4.99) along with extra tubs of honey cinnamon butter ($1.99) at the to-go counter.
- 4. Split the 23 oz. Porterhouse T-Bone for $16 Each: The Porterhouse T-Bone ($31.99) combines a full NY Strip on one side and a tender Filet on the other. It includes two full sides. Sharing this cut with an extra side salad ($4.49) feeds two people USDA Choice steak for under $19 per person.
- 5. Take Full Advantage of Early Dine: Arriving between 3:00 PM and 5:45 PM Monday through Thursday gets you the 6 oz. Sirloin or Road Kill with 2 sides for only $10.99 – $11.99.
