Texas Roadhouse, American restaurant in Fairborn, US.
Texas Roadhouse is an American restaurant in Fairborn, Ohio, focused on steaks, ribs, and grilled chicken made from scratch. The space is set up in a casual, no-fuss style with wooden tables, country décor, and a lively dining room that fills up quickly on weekends.
The chain was founded in 1993 in Clarksville, Indiana, by Kent Taylor, who wanted to offer affordable steak in a relaxed setting. It grew steadily over the years and now operates hundreds of locations across the country, including this one in Fairborn.
Country music plays throughout the meal, and staff occasionally break into coordinated line dances on the floor. This is part of the experience and gives the place a distinctly Southern American feel that goes beyond just the food.
The restaurant tends to fill up on weekend evenings, so joining the online waitlist before arriving can save a good amount of time. Checking the menu in advance is also helpful, since there are many options and it can take a moment to decide once you are seated.
Every steak is cut by hand on-site by a trained butcher, which is unusual for a restaurant chain of this size. Because of this, portions can vary slightly from one visit to the next depending on the cut of the day.
