Three operational rules that govern seating, online To-Go orders, and weekday opening times at Texas Roadhouse.
Texas Roadhouse does not accept traditional reservations. Join Call-Ahead Seating via the mobile app or Official Waitlist starting 30 minutes before opening. Online sign-up supports up to 8 guests (call the store for 9+ guests), and once your table alert texts you, the host stand holds your spot for 15 minutes.
Dine-in guests seated before posted closing (10:00 PM Sun–Thu; 11:00 PM Fri–Sat) can order from the full menu. Online To-Go ordering closes 30 to 45 minutes before closing (around 9:15–9:30 PM Sun–Thu) and may temporarily pause during peak 6:00–7:30 PM weekend grill rushes.
Every Texas Roadhouse employs an in-house meat cutter who hand-cuts USDA Choice sirloin, ribeye, strip, and filet steaks in a 34°F cooler each morning. Morning hours (8:00 AM – 3:00 PM) are dedicated to meat cutting, proofing yeast rolls, and simmering scratch sides before doors open at 3:00 PM.
Because most Texas Roadhouse restaurants do not open for Monday–Thursday lunch, their signature weekday value window is Early Dine — running Monday through Thursday from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM (3:00 PM to 5:00 PM at select stores, plus Friday 11:00 AM – 3:00 PM at participating locations). Every Early Dine entree below is a full-size dinner portion served with two made-from-scratch sides and unlimited fresh-baked rolls.
3:00 PM – 6:00 PM (or 3–5 PM)
Dine-in only. You must be seated at your table before the Early Dine cutoff time (5:00 PM or 6:00 PM depending on location). Arrive by 4:30 PM to guarantee qualification.
Opens 11:00 AM (Sat, Sun & 60%+ Fri)
Texas Roadhouse does not use a smaller lunch menu on weekends — the full dinner menu (steaks, ribs, combos, sides) is served starting at 11:00 AM.
