Texas Roadhouse

This place outshines any steak house that we have visited in Baton Rouge so far. Our waiter Chad was attentive and had items at our table before we asked. The food was delicious. Call ahead seating was a great decision. Thank you for a great experience!

The food was ok, not good enough to make me want to go back. i hate how they tell you to throw your peanut shells on the ground. Very gross, i wonder how many critters that attracts. So if your allergic to peanuts do not go in here! Service was good.

Wonderful ribeye steak

Went there for first time tonight. OMG the food is so good and actually delivered fresh and hot. Waitress was friendly and polite. The only problem was we asked for more bread and never got any. No big deal didn’t need the extra calories. Will definitely be returning.

Call ahead seating is the best way to go! Steak is always cooked well. If you like very rare, ask for it ‘blue’. They make amazing side salads, not just lettuce like a lot of other places. Theirs even have egg on it. Chili was thick and spicy, and the hot rolls are always delicious. I always order sirloin and shrimp, and it’s delicious. Baby back ribs were good, as was the half roasted chicken. We’ll be back!

Great spot. Super packed when we got here. Definitely recomend getting Amoni as your server. She is super attentive and a great server. I always get the grilled shrimp for the appetizer. You just can’t go wrong with that!

Finally another reason other than Lowes to drive to this shopping and dining area.
We were pleasantly surprised at the quality of steak for the price, considering you can barely buy meat like this at a grocery store anymore at these prices. And ours came with two sides as well, including a salad and baked potato for me.
My ribeye was cooked well, tender, potato hot and salad a good size with some good stuff added like egg, a bit of cheese and bacon.
Flower onion app was great but in reality a bit overkill for two diners. With the dinners this would actually feed about four folks.
Service was good, we went early and they also allowed us to order one of the $ 8.99 early dining dinners for the wife to go. She also liked her meal.
Happy Hour was on as well and the $ 3.25 margarita was good. Throw in some hot rolls and a manager stopping by to check on our satisfaction and we have a winner winner, great steak dinner.
And plans for a return visit!

This our 2^nd visit here, both times we had horrible service. Always a wait when you get here but every other table is empty? Never seen waitress, so was horrible with service. when we asked for plates to eat our bread on we never got them, i asked again and still never got them. I had to wait and wait for refills on drinks, than ask her to get them, she would disappear come back 10 min. Later with the drink finally. Food was ok, my mashed potatoes tasted like milk and we’re cold? My husband said half his steak was way to salty, other half was ok, which must have been bad cause he pretty much eats anything. Worst part was service I should not have to flag u down and repeat over and over and still never receive the items I asked for. Also for the record all I asked for were plates and a total of two refill on my husband and my drink, It was not a difficult ! Poor service, rude staff, girls up front spend to much time talking not enough greeting. We were also seated next to waitress computer area and there were a few workers: men and women joking and talking loudly, too close to were customers can hear.

I reported them to their corporate office when both the service and my meal was comparable to Mickey D’s. I was willing to try them again, but then they sent me a «free appetizer» coupon to compensate me for a messed up entrée and app.
I can deal with momentary rudeness, but cheap is forever.
Kthxbye!

Good luck getting a server to help you at this establishment. Spoke to the manager on duty and he said that it was the second time that evening someone complained about the section we were seated in. Humm perhaps he should do something about the problem.

Steaks were prepared perfectly. Great flavor. Rolls were piping hot. Sweet potato had a terrific flavor. House salad was good size. Waitress was always checking up on us. Only complaint was how close the hand dryer in the men’s restroom was to the sink. One guy was drying his hands and water was hitting the back of my neck.

My mom loves the place & we decided to eat here after work one day…
When they seat you, you can throw peanuts on the ground which is fun ! Our waitress was super nice. They have nutrition information online !!! I got a filet. Was ok. I didn’t really care for it & my margarita was lacking… I was really disappointed in the food area. I will go back and update review if anything changes

Everytime I go there they have us wait almost two hours to get a table that is hardly accessible for a wheelchair. Once they had us paraded around just to find out the wheelchair didn’t fit. Another long wait later we called outback and set up reservations there. Texas was brash, rude and unprofessional … I already reported them to the Disabilities group here in Baton Rouge.

Yum! Honestly, I came here for the side salad and loaded sweet potato. To go. They have the best salads, served cold and crisp in an ice cold plate. I even got rolls with my Togo order! Yum! But what’s up with Texas road house not having to go parking?! Shame shame!

«Steak-​a-​licious-​ness». It is not often I get to make my way to Texas Roadhouse. When it first opened, I was super excited about it, but with so many phenomenal locally-​owned/​operated restaurants, it has gone into my back-​burner. I visited this past weekend for a meal with family and I have to say I was pretty happy with my experience. The wait time for a Saturday evening (around 8:30pm) was not entirely too terrible; 15 to 20 minutes tops. This restaurant is known for their steaks and the peanut shell droppings on the ground — if you have a nut allergy, BEWARE! Our server was energetic and attentive to our drink and food orders, which we also did not have to wait long for! If you like steak — try the Porterhouse, which is a shareable entrée for sure because it is gi-​normous! My 5-​year old also got a small sirloin with a side of mashed potatoes, which she absolutely loved. Steaks were cooked to our liking and the server was pleasant and very eager to be our waiter.

Hubby & I grabbed an early dinner here on Saturday. We sat at a booth in the bar which was alright since it was not very busy. We were greeted and seated within a minute of arrival! (It was around 4PM).
Our waiter was snappy… loved his attentiveness yet he was not invasive!
I ordered a salad with the grilled salmon & mashed potatoes. Hubby got the half slab of ribs with fries. The food was excellent and of course the hot rolls are yummy!
I have been here during peak hours and it can be noisy, so keep that in mind. It is a large restaurant, very kid friendly and it has consistently good food.

Come here with groups all the time! Perfect place to get together and eat some comfort food! Drinks and food are always great!

I got here a bit late, and (since I was a party of 1) I started scouting for a seat at the bar to grab dinner at. Luckily it was a Tuesday, so it wasn’t too busy. The open side of the bar was in need of a good wipe down and attention from a busser, but I figured they were probably just still recovering from a very good Happy Hour or something. I settled in with a drink and a menu and started to ponder my options. I decided to go with a salad, the New York steak (with sauteed ‘shrooms) and a loaded baked potato.
When my steak arrived, she offered me steak sauce (which I didn’t need), but I did ask for silverware (which I did need). The steak was good, but a bit on the salty side. This is coming from the guy whose wife always chides him about adding salt to my food at the table. She’s on the other side of the spectrum (i.e. very sensitive to saltiness), and she probably wouldn’t have been able to eat this as it was served, but I didn’t mind it too much.
The baked potato was good, but those are pretty hard not to get right. I had skipped their hot rolls to save all my gratuitous carbs for the loaded baker. Well, that and my jd-​on-​the-​rocks. Does whiskey count as a carb? I hope so, it will help me confuse my doctor:
Doc: You seem to be gaining weight lately.
Me: Hm. Maybe I should cut back on the carbs?
Back to the review. Now if you didn’t catch it, I haven’t mentioned what I thought of the salad. That’s because my salad didn’t show up until 15 minutes after my steak was brought out. Well, technically it was 14 minutes by the time stamps on my food photos, but either way.
The server’s only comment when she noticed it was «You didn’t get your salad already?» in a very nonchalant manner, and when I told her «No» and she didn’t really respond to that, nor did she seem to I didn’t touch the salad (decided to chow down on the spud instead). She didn’t even ask if I wanted to take it for later. I had noticed they goofed up the salad order for the guy who had been next to me too, but at least they managed to get it out to him before his entrée. Come to think of it, he had to ask for a silverware set too.
At any rate, this place seems to suffer from (at best) severe apathy towards what they’re doing and how well they do it. The bartender spent most of her time chatting with a couple of twenty-​something guys at the other end of the bar and paid little to no attention to the other three of us spread out around the other 80% of the bar stools. I couldn’t help but wonder if management is having them wear «I (heart) my job» t-​shirts as some sort of subliminal staff training message?
I guess the fact that there wasn’t a crowd munching peanuts and waiting for tables when I got in should have been a hint for me, but at any rate, I think I’ll give them a miss at this location. I like the local TRH back home, but if this is typical of the food and service on a slow night I can only imagine how it would be when they’re actually busy.

Not impressed. It’s been a year since I have been to this location and the food was garbage that time but I figured I would give them another shot. Bad decision. I ordered the filet medallions med well and what showed up on my plate looked to have been raw meat colored with a light brown crayon.
First bite gristle, second was a bloody mess. Don’t come here. Look another flying insect.

Tonight was my first night here and I must admit, I was pretty impressed with this chain. My stars are given keeping in mind my expectations of a chain restaurant, and not as an «overall score» of every restaurant I’ve ever visited. They’re not toting to be some upscale foodie place, and I won’t judge them for not being one.
The first thing I noticed was the faint sound of country music playing as we approached the building, this was fun and got me in the mood.
I was surprised that it was busy enough on a Thursday night to be given a wait-​pager, but I see this as a good sign, and it was only about five minutes of a wait. Despite the brisk weather tonight, I wouldn’t have minded a longer wait. There is a large waiting area with plenty of seating and a peanut station, where you can fill a small paper sack with peanuts to snack on while you wait… shells just go on the floor.
The atmosphere was super casual and laid back. The staff was wearing jeans and polos and sweatshirts sporting the restaurant logo. I don’t know if it was just because today was exceptionally cold, but I did get very cold and had to steal hubby’s jacket.
It took an extra beat before our server, Kristian, arrived to take our drink orders. It’s not like he was sitting in the corner checking his Facebook, they were clearly busy, so it was really no big deal.
We were given some fresh hot bread, it was pretty great. The butter served was a sweet cinnamon butter. It was tasty, but we also asked for some plain butter.
We ordered the fried pickles appetizer and shared the Sirloin Combo with ribs. We chose mashed potatoes and a side salad for sides. The side salad came out before the pickles, and Kristian politely apologized for it.
The salad was nothing special, although I did like the ranch dressing quite a bit. The pickles came out soon after and were super hot and tasty. We weren’t quite done with our salad when the entrée came out. The ribs fell off the bone, as promised. I thoroughly enjoyed them. The steak we ordered was perfectly medium rare with a lovely crust, you could tell they seared it before they grilled it (which is taught in most culinary schools). The flavor and tenderness was great definitely a solid contender in the casual dining welterweight class of steaks. I was less than overwhelmed by the potatoes, which we had with cheese and bacon. The texture was good, I just feel they could have used a dash of more salt/​pepper/​garlic. I feel like all the food could have been a little warmer, which would have escalated the flavor profile of everything.
Kristian offered dessert and drinks to go, both of which we declined and he brought the check. He did a very good job keeping us happy tonight.
With the app, entrée, and iced tea, our bill came out to less than $ 30 and we were both STUFFED. Filling two stomachs full of steak and ribs for that price is a pretty solid deal.
I am not a huge fan of chains, but this one has easily made it to the short list of ones I wouldn’t mind frequenting.
