Texas Roadhouse, American restaurant in Irving, US
Texas Roadhouse is an American steakhouse in Irving, Texas, serving hand-cut steaks, grilled ribs, and made-from-scratch sides alongside fresh-baked bread rolls. The dining room is set up in a casual country style with wooden booths and a menu built around hearty portions.
The chain was founded in 1993 in Clarksville, Indiana, and expanded steadily across the country over the following decades. The core idea behind it stayed the same from the start: straightforward food served in a no-frills setting.
Staff members perform line dancing during service hours, turning the dining room into something closer to a country music hall than a typical restaurant. This tradition is part of every visit and gives the place its own personality.
A digital waitlist is available through the website or app, so you can add your name before arriving and get a notification when your table is ready. Waits tend to be longer on weekends and during peak hours, so signing up ahead of time helps.
Willie Nelson has been an official partner of the chain since 2002, making him one of the more unexpected brand ambassadors in American restaurant history. His music often plays inside the restaurant, reinforcing the country feel the place leans into.
