Texas Roadhouse is known for its mouth-watering steaks and hearty American meals. But not many people know that it also offers huge savings if you visit at the right time. With the return of its Early Dine Menu, customers can enjoy full meals for just $10.99 — but only if they dine during specific hours on weekdays.
When You Can Get the Deal
The Early Dine Menu is available from Monday to Thursday, opening time until 5 PM, and on Friday until 3 PM, at most Texas Roadhouse locations. This special pricing is for dine-in orders only and may vary slightly by location.
What’s on the Early Dine Menu?
The Early Dine Menu includes 11 full-size entrées, and each one comes with two sides of your choice. Some popular choices include:
- Six-Ounce Sirloin Steak Dinner
- Country Fried Chicken Dinner
- Chicken Critters Dinner
- Pulled Pork Dinner
- Chicken Caesar Salad
On top of that, Texas Roadhouse still serves their famous warm rolls with cinnamon butter and free peanuts at the table — all included at no extra cost.
Customer Reactions: Is It Worth It?
Many customers feel the $10.99 deal is a fantastic bargain. One TikTok user, @fun.sizer, called it a “total steal,” especially now that the price has dropped from last year’s $12.99. Others agree that even a $2 saving is worth it for the size and quality of the meals.
However, some customers on social media felt the Early Dine prices are only slightly cheaper than the regular dinner menu.
One commented, “She said only $13 lol,” suggesting the savings weren’t that impressive. Another added, “The early dine is just like a dollar or two off the dinner menu is all.”
But many still agree the value for money is excellent, especially with large portion sizes and included sides.
Another Hack: Order from the Kids Menu
If you miss the Early Dine window or want a cheaper option, there’s a smart workaround — order from the Kids & Rangers Meals section. Though it’s technically for those 12 and under, some Texas Roadhouse locations allow adults to order these meals, especially for takeout.
According to employee Madi (@girlswillbegirlsyay) on TikTok, adults can often order a Kids’ Steak Dinner for just $12, which comes with one side, a drink, and the same bread and peanuts. If dining in isn’t allowed for this hack, simply place a takeaway order to enjoy the deal.
Feeding a Family for Less
This strategy is especially helpful for families. One family of five reportedly fed everyone for just $37 by ordering cleverly from the Early Dine and Kids menus. It’s a smart way to enjoy dining out without overspending.
Texas Roadhouse’s Early Dine Menu is a great way to enjoy delicious meals at a reduced price, especially now that it costs only $10.99. Add in the free rolls, peanuts, and generous portions, and it’s easy to see why many customers call it a bargain. And for those who miss the Early Dine time slots, there are still sneaky ways to save, including ordering from the Kids menu. With a little planning, you can enjoy a full Texas Roadhouse experience without breaking the bank.
