Texas Roadhouse is one of the more affordable sit-down steakhouses. Most diners spend about $20 to $30 per person including tax and tip; a budget meal can be under $20 and a steak-and-drinks night can reach $40 or more. Here is how it adds up.
Texas Roadhouse Cost Per Person: Examples
We used typical menu prices, 8% sales tax and an 18% tip.

How to Spend Less
- Early Dine on Monday to Thursday afternoons.
- Fill up on the free rolls and share a starter.
- Skip alcohol, margaritas add up quickly.
- Use VIP Club offers, see coupons & deals.
Drinks Can Double the Bill
Soft drinks and tea cost about $1.99 with free refills when you dine in. Beer, wine and margaritas are priced by each restaurant and can add $5 to $10 or more per drink, the biggest reason one table pays much more than another. See the drink menu.
Cost for Kids
Kids meals cost about $7.49 and include a side and a drink, so a child usually costs less than $10. See the kids menu.
Early Dine vs Dinner
On Monday to Thursday afternoons, participating restaurants offer Early Dine entrées at a set lower price, often saving a few dollars per person compared with the regular dinner menu.
