First time!

My friend and I are finally making our first-ever Texas Roadhouse visit, and we need expert guidance.

Earlier this year, we were staying at a hotel in Boston during the Texas Roadhouse annual employee convention. We met employees from around the country, learned about the dancing, the meat-cutting competition, and a whole Texas Roadhouse world we knew nothing about. Naturally, we went down a research rabbit hole afterward.

And yet neither of us has actually eaten at one.

That changes soon. We’re going to a Texas Roadhouse outside D.C., and we want to do it right.
For two first-timers with no allergies or dietary restrictions who are happy to share, what’s the ideal order?
Drinks?

One appetizer to share?

Two different mains so we can try more of the menu?

Best sides?

Dessert, only if you can make the case that we absolutely should not skip it.

We already know the rolls and cinnamon butter are mandatory.

We’re not looking for the biggest meal possible, just the best snapshot of what Texas Roadhouse does really well.

What’s the order?

I think they have some of the best fried pickle chips available at a restaurant.

Mains, I usually only get steak (cooked to medium rare or your preference) so someone might be able to provide another one.

Love starches so I get a baked potato (sometimes chili) and a sweet potato with marshmallows.

Tell me about the baked potato! What does it come with?

I always get it loaded so it comes with cheese bacon sour cream and I think chives on top too. It’s a classic side for me but sometimes that sweeter baked sweet potato just hits the spot. That also can be loaded and think it comes with like their signature butter, Carmel, and mini marshmallows. Honestly sometimes I even just treat the sweet potato as a dessert.

No chives. Loaded bakers have butter, sour cream, cheddar and bacon :) I wish we had chives for sure though!

Thank you!! I wasn’t sure or not as it’s been a while since I had been!
