Texas Roadhouse, Steakhouse restaurant in Stearns County, US.
Texas Roadhouse is a steakhouse in Stearns County, Minnesota, where hand-cut steaks are grilled to order and fresh-baked bread with cinnamon butter is served at every table. The dining room is set up with casual booths and a bar counter, all in a relaxed, family-friendly setting.
The restaurant concept was founded in 1993 in Clarksville, Indiana, and grew into a nationwide chain over the following decades. It built its reputation on scratch cooking and affordable portions, setting itself apart from other casual dining chains.
The décor mixes western touches with sports memorabilia, which is common in American steakhouse dining rooms. Peanut shells on the floor are a deliberate part of the experience, as guests are invited to snack on free peanuts while waiting for their table.
Guests can join a digital waitlist or place takeout orders through the chain's mobile app before arriving at the restaurant. Weekend evenings tend to be the busiest, so arriving early in the evening or on a weekday is a good way to avoid a long wait.
The staff performs coordinated line dancing routines on the restaurant floor during service, something many first-time visitors do not expect. This is not a one-off event but a planned part of every shift, happening at all locations across the chain.
