Texas Roadhouse

I frequent here a lot and it’s always busy. Food is consistently good and the servers are always nice. I like the sirloin and they have a good salad.

«Underwhelming «
Yes it’s a chain. Like all chain restaurants, it all depends on local management. The one in my hometown in Minnesota, is consistently very good. This one… Not so much. Chili was barely warm. Must not have nuked it long enough. Shrimp was fine. 8 oz sirloin, which I ordered «medium «was medium rare but I wasn’t going to fuss about it. Unfortunately, it was also the toughest piece of meat I’ve tried eating in a long time. A little seasoning wouldn’t hurt, either (you know, salt, pepper, etc???) 1 star for food quality, compared to other Texas Roadhouse locations I’ve patronized. The second star was added only because my server was good. Friendly and did what she could to make sure I was happy. I’m not saying it’s horrible here… just not what I’ve come to expect from this brand.

My wife and I stayed at a hotel very near restaurant and we ordered take out. I had never ordered steak on takeout before and was a little nervous, but my steak was cooked to order and was very tasty, my wife’s chicken was the way she liked it. That meal was better than a lot of my dine in experiences at other restaurants. My only question is why don’t we have a Texas Roadhouse in Athens, Ga?

Solid, good quality you’d expect from here! Nothing bad, but nothing amazing — clean, reliable, affordable, and fast.

Service was good and then the salads showed, all downhill from here. Salads and dressing were warm. Steaks were equally as horrible, way over cooked and dry… now I’m pretty sure I know what boiled shoe leather tastes like.

The food is awful! Ordered grilled chicken and sent it back twice!!! It had small hard processed crap in it the hurt biting into it. I’m 36 years old and have NEVER sent anything back in my life! Even the waitress was grossed out by it. Never got comped. The only reason I even gave 2 stars is because our waitress was so nice. Been to many Texas Roadhouses and loved them all besides this place.

The good is awesome iv had the catfish (which is my favorite) the south west chicken the shrimp well anyway no matter what I ordered is always been yummy! Best of all is the awesome waiter Bubbles he’s on top of it never was our glass empty or dishes piled up on the table always happy and talk to us like an old friend we are not from here but been here on a job for a year he’s always who we ask for I highly recommend this restaurant

We went to roadhouse after my sons 8^th grade promotion ceremony and it was wonderful especially after my daughters graduation dinner at Calhouns. Unlike Calhouns the roadhouse server was attentive and timely refreshing drinks without us even needing to ask. Every extra (like extra napkins, extra dressing, etc) was brought right out and the food was excellent. I ordered the cowboy cut sirloin and it was cooked to perfection. In fact every steak ordered at our table (four of them) was cooked perfectly. I highly recommend it for anyone wanting well cooked steaks and excellent service

Upon walking in, was greeted and grabbe sime peanuts while we waited for a table. Ohh, that wasn’t a long wait, here we go to our table… I ordered the filet, the rolls are soooo good with the cinnamon butter, we followed the lady taking us to our table like a puppy getting a treat. the salad looks great. Fresh lettuce. let’s see if they can cook this steak right. Wow! Im amazed. The waitress told us they had an excellent cook. She wasn’t kidding. Great steak. They actually cooked it the way I liked it, medium well, just pink in the middle.
All in all, very pleased.
Would come back here at this location again.

Great chicken strips And beer
And I hear they have steak too!
Also if I’m ever back in Knoxville I might watch a football game there as well

First time in forever i sent food back but was promptly taken care of. our server was nice and kept our drinks topped off. Manager was accommodating even though i wasn’t too worried about the fries.

I do like the Texas Roadhouse.
The food is consistent, no matter which location you visit.
This store seemed a little run down and the bathroom needed a good scrubbing.
My waitress was friendly enough.
My food all came out hot and fresh.
Some of the lettuce in my salad was old and turning brown, though.

It was dirty and I don’t mean with just the cheesy peanut shells all over the place. Several booths had torn vinyl seats. Ordered a prime rib but told they were out, then tried the filet medallions but they were out too! Really… a steak place out of popular cuts! Got the ribeye and it was too salty. Disappointed but this is why I try to stay away from chains.

Ordered the «road kill» for the name, but it could have been called the «charcoal,» and not because of the fuel source.

I’ll start with this — the food was awesome as usual. This is really a review of the service, which was pretty horrid overall. I’m not an overly picky person, but having been in food service for almost my entire life I know what can be expected.
We were there at 5p on a Thursday, and although it wasn’t that busy, everyone seemed to be running around a little more than they should. Maybe they were short staffed. We were greeted by a very charming hostess who took us right over to our table… oops, wrong table, we had to move to another one. No biggie. We sat for a bit and looked over the drink menu, which has no prices on them. It is the first time I’ve ever seen that there. After about ten minutes the server approaches, or should I say the cloud of unpleasant perfume she was wearing arrived with her in tow. When asked about drink prices she laughed and said she had no idea. My man ordered a margarita, I got unsweet tea. Another ten minutes passed before our drinks were delivered. She took our order and disappeared. Fifteen minutes after that our app was brought to the table, tossed down and she disappeared again without a word or even eye contact. Our app, really good potato skins, was finished for quite a while before the steaks arrived. Perfectly cooked, I was really enjoying getting in to the food and the conversation when she pops up and asks if everything is okay, following with, «Do you think you’ll be ordering dessert? No one ever does, I mean the meals are so huge that no one ever does. So I’ll just leave this here for when you’re ready.», and drops the check at the end of the table. I was five bites in to a 22 oz steak, and she’s dropping the check? That upset me, and I fumed for the rest of the meal. I usually tip at least 20%, she got 15% on the dot. Plus, for two steaks, one cocktail and an app the bill was $ 66, the margarita being a pretty overpriced $ 9. Far too much to be rushed. Maybe I should have said something but I saw that she was rushing all of the tables in her station the same way, so felt that it would do no good. Too bad, too. The food was really outstanding, but I may not go back to that store again.

Loved it once again. I am a little partial to this restaurant simply because of the manager but this review as you’ll see is about as honest as I can get. It was the mothers day weekend when we visited and we knew going out was a risk. When we showed up the wait would be 15 – 30 minutes, which took right at 20 minutes. Temperature of the place was really hot making me wonder if the AC was working.
Ordering was fast and salads were even faster. The waitress was rather… shall I say close while passing and retreating items. I thought several times I would lose my nose by a fork or steak knife. It was rather busy so she forget different items but she was running a little frazzled it seemed. Food was cooked great. Service was almost life threatening at times. But to sum it up, the overall experience was different to say the least. Will I be back? Ya betcha!

First of all let me say I’m a pretty easy-​going person. I understand the food service business pretty well, having supported myself doing this early in my life. Now, having said that, the wait staff in this restaurant is annoying.
For the love of God, let me take two bites of my food before you come and ask me if everything is okay. Then, let me have two sips of my excellent sweet tea before asking me if you can refill it.
Turn the music down just enough so that I can actually hear myself think.
Ugh. I’m thinking I’ve been to less noisy hockey games. AND, the food was better! I ordered filet medallions that came on some kind of rice that was not only horrid to look at, but tasted just as bad. It was expensive and tasted only ok. In fact, it was kind of tough and I didn’t eat it all. This was a filet, for chrissakes!
Anyway, tonight, I’m gonna try someplace different, and hopefully less annoying!
Ciao!

Been here a handful of times now because it’s a cheap dinner. The last two times we waited for over 40 minutes to be seated, when the hostess told us the wait would be 10 minutes. The food is just okay. It’s cheap and in that sense you get what you pay for. The ribs are not fall of the bone. The steak is just okay. I feel like I could definitely buy a steak myself and grill a better one. Everything here is just okay.

This location is consistently busy and for me that’s a good sign that the food is good. Sure enough, this particular location has the best ribs I have ever tasted and consistently so. The bread is awesome. My dinner mates tell me the food they order is excellent as well. I don’t know because I only ever get ribs here. The other thing I really like about this place is the atmosphere. It’s country and the mood is always happy and a care free. Sometimes you just want to get away from it all and enjoy some good food and I submit to you this is an excellent place to do that.
The only negative I can think of is that it’s difficult to go anywhere but north or east once you leave. If you want to head south on the 411 again, you have to wander the roads of Alcoa/​Maryville.

Great place for a work dinner or even eating out by yourself! The staff here is very friendly and efficient. Beer prices are especially good during happy hour.
The food was good! Especially for a chain.
