Tips to Save More at Lunch

Go Monday to Friday only

Lunch specials are strictly Mon-Fri 11am-4pm. Show up Saturday or Sunday and you pay dinner prices.

Skip the drink markup

Soft drinks add $3-4. Water is free and comes with free refills of lemonade if you ask nicely at some locations.

Use the Texas Roadhouse app

The app offers coupons, a birthday free meal, and can save you $5-10 if you check before ordering.

Pick mashed potatoes as both sides

You can repeat sides. Mashed potatoes are the most filling option, making your plate go further.

Sit at the bar for faster seating

Lunch crowds are lighter but bar seating is first-come-first-served. Good move on busy Fridays.

Check for military and senior discounts

Many Texas Roadhouse locations offer 10% off for military and veterans at any time, including lunch.
