Texas Roadhouse, American restaurant in Jacksonville, US.
Texas Roadhouse is an American steakhouse restaurant in Jacksonville, Florida, offering hand-cut steaks, ribs, and grilled chicken cooked to order. Each plate comes with made-from-scratch sides, and the portions are generous by most standards.
Texas Roadhouse was founded in the 1990s with the aim of making classic American steakhouse food accessible to a broad audience, not just fine dining crowds. The Jacksonville location opened as part of the chain's growth across the southeastern United States.
Texas Roadhouse serves freshly baked bread with cinnamon butter at the start of every meal, a gesture that sets the tone for the whole visit. Country music plays throughout the dining room, and the decor leans on wood panels and Western-themed details that feel at home in the American South.
The restaurant tends to fill up quickly in the evenings and on weekends, so arriving early or calling ahead is a good idea. Walk-ins are welcome, but a wait is common during busy periods, especially for larger groups.
Every location in the chain employs trained meat cutters who break down whole cuts of beef in the kitchen each day, rather than receiving pre-portioned steaks. This is an uncommon practice for a restaurant chain of this scale.
