Early Dine: The Main Weekday Special
The Texas Roadhouse early dine menu is the closest thing to a national daily special: from about 3 to 6 PM Monday to Thursday at participating restaurants, you choose from a set list of entrées, like the 6oz sirloin, grilled BBQ chicken or Chicken Critters, with two sides at one lower price.
Daily Specials by Day of the Week
| Day | What to look for |
|---|---|
| Monday to Thursday | Early Dine prices 3 to 6 PM |
| Wednesday | Some restaurants run a local "Wild West Wednesday" or mid-week deal |
| Friday | Fish fry or seafood specials at some locations |
| Weekend | Lunch from 11 AM; prime rib at many restaurants until it sells out |

Local deals vary, the restaurant's own Facebook page or a quick call is the fastest way to know today's specials.
What Is Wild West Wednesday?
Wild West Wednesday is a local promotion some Texas Roadhouse restaurants have run on Wednesdays, usually a discounted steak or entrée. It is not a national program, so most restaurants do not offer it. Ask your restaurant if it has a mid-week special.
Family Pack Specials
For groups, the best-value deal is a family pack, enough food for four to six people with sides and rolls. See all prices on Texas Roadhouse family meals.
