Slow-cooked in house and the top non-steak order.
4Loaded sweet potato

The shareable fried onion with the dipping sauce people ask for extra of.

Frequently asked questions
What should I order at Texas Roadhouse?
The bone-in ribeye is the best steak on the menu, and the fall-off-the-bone ribs are the best non-steak plate. Start with a cactus blossom to share, and get the loaded sweet potato as your side. Ask for your steak one level rarer than usual.
What is the best steak at Texas Roadhouse?
Bone-in ribeye for flavour and marbling, Dallas filet for tenderness at a smaller size, and the New York strip as the middle ground. Prime rib is excellent when they haven't sold out — it's usually gone late on weekends.
What are the best sides at Texas Roadhouse?
Loaded sweet potato, seasoned rice, green beans and the buttered corn are the standouts. Skip the plain baked potato unless you're loading it; the sweet potato does more for the same price.
Is Texas Roadhouse better than other steakhouse chains?
For the price, the marbled bone-in cuts and the hand-cut steak programme make it hard to beat in its bracket. Where it wins most clearly is ribs and sides — where it loses is anything fried or fish.
