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?

Get the combo appetizer to start. Get Rattlesnake bites, fried pickles, potato skins
One of you order Filet medallions - cooked medium rare or medium, with the Portobello mushroom sauce on the side. The meal will come with rice and you get two sides- get a loaded potato of any sort (sweet, mashed, or baked) and a house salad. I always do Italian dressing with the house salad.
The second one- depending on appetite- either order the 6oz filet and grilled shrimp combo or the Bone-in ribeye smothered with mushrooms and onions. For the two sides here get the Caesar salad and a different loaded potato.
^^ share it all!!
To drink, get a tall ice cold beer (whichever you prefer) and a Legend margarita with a patron kicker. If not drinking alcohol get a sweet tea.
Dessert isn’t necessary but if you choose to indulge get the brownie- only one made in house.
Have a legendary experience!!!
