Ok, yes the wait time was long. We pre-checked in online and still had a 30min wait. But, once we were seated the service was great and I thought the bread was absolutely amazing. The ambiance was fun and the ribs were good. They are Texas style which means not covered in sauce. It was worth it and will definitely be back. read more

First time going. Ordered prime rib with veggies, prime rib was ok and the veggies were terrible. The party next to me at the bar found hair in their food and sent back their steak twice (both times it was raw in the middle). The staff was so overwhelmed and not adept at customer service the group didn't raise the issue of the hair and just moved on. Staff acknowledged the steak was undercooked and didn't attempt to fix it beyond attempting to recook the steak a third time. read more

Ambiance is cool and service was great. I went to the Texas Roadhouse in Coeur d' Alene, ID back in 2008 and I remember it was amazing! Huge portions, hot steaks/food, and peanuts you can scoop up yourself and throw the shells on the floor. Things have definitely changed since then. They give you bagged peanuts in a bucket and you can't throw them on the floor! The steak I got was small, warm (definitely not served hot) and I asked for medium well ribeye and it was overcooked and dry. So sad. We went with a group of 6 people. The country fried steaks were huge and smothered with yummy gravy. The beef tips were good but dry. The bowl of chili is massive and extremely meaty and hearty. I loved the chili the most. Sides were awesome as usual. The warm fresh bread with the cinnamon butter is fantastic! The appetizers we got were the fried pickles with thick ranch and the rattlesnake bites were phenomenal. So good and I highly recommend you get that as an appetizer. The ribeye steak and shrimp dinner was pretty good (except for steak) but the shrimp was perfect. It's served on some Texas toast. Overall great place for dinner or lunch if you want a steakhouse style meal! read more

I had lunch in the bar area on Saturday. Before the sirloin steak came out I had a salad and the delicious free roles. I ordered a medium rare sirloin steak and wild rice which was spot on excellent. [[HIGHLIGHT]]My only concern is the music. I would like to hear some country and some top 40 pop songs not country music playing constantly[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. read more

I ordered at 12:14 pm and they called me 10 minutes before my pickup to tell me they were out of ribs. What the heck they should have honored my order. Did not offer a commentary meal or certificate. Bad business read more

The only restaurant that we've been to in the past months that can seem to cook a medium rare steak correctly on the first try/attempt! My dinner partner is a picky person (putting it mildly) and I've seen him send 2-3 steaks back at one meal!! No matter if Bellingham or Yakima we continue to enjoy the same high quality, great food and courteous, friendly and efficient service! Thank you to both locations for always providing a Great meal. read more

When I arrived we were put in the system so we could get a table. While we were waiting, all I could see were servers grabbing a slip and calling out people's names. I got a text message saying " Please gather your party quickly and proceed to the host stand to get one of the next open tables -TXRH". It wasn't clear to me I had to actually check in. It may have been because I was too tired and hungry to understand the text. So we waited longer. When I got the 4th text message I went to the host stand and said my name isn't being called. They said I needed to check in. I told them I saw people being called up by name and they said those were the people whose number was input incorrectly. I think they didn't understand what I meant because everyone's names got called out. But after our waiting was done we got to wait some more for a table. I think if the text message was a little more clear and said "check in at the host desk" it would have saved time and a lot of frustration. At most restaurants when you get a text message they are ready to seat you. That is not the case at this restaurant. The baked potato had a lot of salt on the outside. The steaks were overdone and dry. Apparently that had been happening all night so it wasn't just us. We got offered to have steaks remade. Kaleigh is a rock star and made the evening better! She understood our visit didn't start out in the best way. She mentioned that several coworkers called in sick so they were short-staffed. However, with how she was managing our table I never would have known. read more

This was our first and likely last time at this restaurant chain. This is all my opinion of course, but the place WAS crowded and we had to wait for a table, though there were plenty of unoccupied booths. While waiting, they offer bags of peanuts to keep one busy. Somehow, the peanuts did not taste good. Hard to mess up a peanut. The staff was friendly and accommodating, and the BBQ ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender and tasty, though kind of fatty. I prefer the spareribs cooked down more. Here endeth the good opinions. The service was slow. Lots of waiting for a waiter to show up, and then even longer for the meal to arrive. The music was LOUD, which could have been OK, but the sound system was not up to the volume, or the acoustics were terrible, or something, but the music was muddy and distorted, and made conversation a yelling event, and did not add to the enjoyment of attendance. I wonder if the staff experiences any hearing loss because even they have to lean in close to communicate. The wife got the ribs and chicken plate, with mac and cheese. I got a grilled shrimp appetizer. When you are seated, they bring some rolls and a butter mix. The rolls are quite sweet, and the spread is something they whip up that is also sweet, and heavy on cinnamon, neither of which offerings were appealing. Sweet to start? No thanks. Speaking of sweet, the one thing that I expected them to have, a Texan staple, was sweet tea. Nope, just regular tea. In most places, you have to tell them not to make it sweet. Go figure? As I said, the pork spare ribs were tasty enough, the chicken was a thin fillet of breast meat, sauced, but still kind of dry and oversalted. The dish came with a choice of sides, they were out of baked potatoes, so mac and cheese was the choice. Well, it was at least mac. Little to no cheese was evident. The stuff was dry, and it looked very close to plain boiled macaroni. Oh, and tasted about the same. My grilled shrimp appetizer was way over-salted, and did not look to be what I consider grilled. I asked if it was grilled on a flat top or a flame grill. After much research, the server said it was a flame grill. However, the shrimp showed no evidence or flavor of having been flame-grilled; Uniform color with no char or taste of same, which was what I was anticipating. So, all in all, the experience at Texas Roadhouse was less than we expect for a repeat visit. read more

Was there on Aug 2, 2025. Sat there for 20 minutes with my family and not one server gave us water or took drink orders. 20 minutes, while 6-7 waitresses stood around doing nothing. We finally left and took our money elsewhere. Management, get it together. 20 minutes?? read more

The ambiance was amazing. Two times in the past 7 days we have visited the new Bellingham location, and the consistency is bar none. First server was Brinder and today's was Kenna. Warm, energetic, smile across their face as they are genuinely happy to see you and serve you. Both visits, Manager Ainsley visited our table, unprompted, just to check in and see what went well and ask for our opinions. From start to finish's, the Texas Roadhouse in Bellingham is the best one I have visited and had the pleasure of dining at. They will treat you like family, family they actually like and want to see again. Food was prepared perfectly and came out with very little wait. 10/10 read more

It's very loud in here. It's very, very packed in here, good thing we got on the waiting list while we were driving here (and I suggest you do the same) otherwise we'd be waiting an hour for a table. So, like I said: it's noisy, it's dark and it's very roadhousey. They have a bucket of peanuts on every table and lots of interesting neon beer signs on the walls, I'm kinda surprised that there's no sawdust on the floor and where's the mechanical bull? Okay, so we got seated pretty quickly and our waitress was right there to take our drink order. Service was beyond excellent; they must have at least 2 waiters per table and plenty of managers running around. There was even a floor show- half the staff did a line dance in the aisles. I had to slide over so as not to get smacked by the waiter dude as he swung his arms around but it was quite entertaining and definitely not what we were expecting. (Heads up, don't ever let them know that you are celebrating a birthday or an anniversary or you will get a rousing "YEE-HAW!!!" followed by singing and dancing by the other half of the staff and some sort of torture involving a saddle that they wheel down the aisle for God knows what purpose...) Anyway... We ordered 2 original margaritas which were excellent, a Cactus Blossom, again excellent, the boneless chicken wings with hot sauce, just meh, to start. For mains I had the Chicken fried Chicken, it was huge! And tasty. The cream gravy was rich and satisfying. My husband had a half rack of ribs with the chili. The ribs were tender and deliciously smoky but needed more sauce. (Next time we will ask for extra). The chili was really good, I think the flavor profile was a bit cumin forward but I liked it. Portion sizes are huge and we took half of our food home. Looks like I'm having leftovers tomorrow. Score! Ambience- noisy, rambunctious, casual Service- Excellent Food- Very Good, Generous portions Price- on par with other casual dining steak houses. YEE-HAW! read more

I was in Bellingham for a show on 10-24-2024 and was happy to see Texas Roadhouse very close to my hotel. I knew it had only been open for a few weeks but I gave myself enough time to wait, enjoy a meal and get to the theater in time. The waiting area was loud and very busy but I appreciated the text telling me to go to a designated area in order to be seated. The service was excellent and when my Country Fried Sirloin arrived it was hot and delicious, as were the green beans and mashed potatoes. Next time I go I'm going to get 2 sides of the green beans and skip the potatoes because the beans were just the way I like them. I will be going back there the next time I'm in Bellingham, only I'll be sure to join the waitlist online! read more

The food was good. I placed a to go order for my birthday. Unfortunately I only got 9 out of the 12 shrimp I was supposed to get :( such a bummer to be shorted 3 shrimp on my birthday! read more

Texas Road House is 'extra' compared to the restaurants we usually treat ourselves to in Bellingham, WA. Extra big menu, big plates, lots of staff, big tables, big prices and BIG attitudes. The greeter, the waitress and hostesses were all told by my husband that we were there to celebrate my birthday. Yet, none of them acknowledged it! There were other birthday guests around me because they rolled a saddle by me with dessert & candle in hand! My dinner was 9 piece shrimp. I had to send it back after first bite; the shrimp were ice cold and rubbery. I asked her to please ask them to cook more. My husband's steak was overcooked. He had to send his back too. Both entrees were cooked right on the second try. My husband requested a glass of milk be brought out with his steak; she didn't fulfill his simple request but instead acted like she was doing him a favor. Our dinner guests loved their entrees, beef tips and road kill burger. We asked for go containers and she disappeared after dropping them and the check off at our table. I had a free appetizer coupon sent to me via the VIP club and she forgot to take it off the check. I had a cranberry mock tail that came watered down by ice. No, I do not recommend you go here for your birthday or any special occasion. We had to pay $140.00 to be treated like their mistakes were ours! Will never do this again! read more

If you are 21 and over and don't want your wait for a table, the bar is a great choice. Excellent service from the bartenders. I would given 5 stars, but my and my husband's steak was cooked rare, not medium rare. We didn't send it back, because we were going to take the steaks home. We thought reheating the steaks at home would make a great medium rare. And it did. :) The bread and sides were cooked/prepared just fine. Sides were applesauce, mashed potatoes, Caesar salad, loaded baked potato. Yes, the restaurant is very loud. read more

All I can say is, it was SO noisy that even turning off my hearing aids did not help. If you wanted to communicate with the person next to you, had to shout. Food was good, service okay. Will not go back, just hurt my ears and I fired artillery for 12 years in the Army. read more

The food and the prices were great but our service was horrible our servers name was Amanda and we barely got any attention from her if we wanted something we had to track her down and ask her for it she never came to our table to see if we needed anything. Called us in for they were busy and said we had a half hour wait when we got there we gladly waited the half hour but once he got called inside we had to wait another half hour to 45 minutes before we were even sat. The food took almost 45 minutes to get to us. It was good and tasted amazing but still took too long to get to us. We've been here several times before during their busy times and we've never had to wait this long and never had this bad of service. read more

I dined here recently with a family member and it was generally good, with some caveats. First off, the restaurant seems to benefit from lack of competition in the area due to the absence of steakhouses. [[HIGHLIGHT]]For this reason, it was packed and somewhat loud and much busier than I would expect so early.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The good: My steak was cooked correctly, of decent quality and juicy, but overseasoned with salt and somewhat thin-I can't be sure it was actually 12oz. The shrimp were cooked nicely, supposedly grilled but it must not have been directly on the flame since there were no marks, and again, too salty. The baked potato was great, but toppings were somewhat sparse and not really "loaded". Caesar salad was decent but not memorable except for the croutons and the fact it was served on a chilled plate, which is a nice touch. I liked the fact the default amount was 20% on the tablet, but what irked me was that the preselected amount was post-tax, when traditionally you don't tip on tax or alcohol (unless you're served the drinks in the bar itself). Overall a nice experience, but not amazing. read more

Violet helped me out tonight at the old roadhouse. Brought me right back to my Texas years! Props to the staff, y'all are great!

Our family was really looking forward to trying out this place, hoping for good things but our experience left us disappointed. Both my wife's steak and mine were undercooked, as we both ordered medium rare and it came out rare and blue rare. Despite the manager making it right by taking the two entrees off the bill, it did not make up for the overall disappointment. For a place that seems to promote their steaks, it would seem that getting the proper cooking temperatures would be key to their success and focus. Needs improvement. read more

We have been to this TX roadhouse on many occasions since it has opened. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a good restaurant with a fun/festive atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The steaks are affordable compared to upscale steakhouses. They recently added Shiner Bock (Texas beer) to their draft selection, so I'd highly recommend a pint with your meal. As a native born and raised Texan I give this place my stamp of approval. Yee-haw!!! read more

My partner and I went here for the first time and we were super excited to try it, as we walked in it was super loud and busy so I was assuming it must be good if it's busy because that's usually the case. We get seated and the server brings us plates. Right as she puts them down they're still dirty covered in gravy and food still so I ask for a new set of plates. I already knew by this experience it wasn't going to be good. I get to opening my silverware and THEY WERE DIRTY TOO. The server plays it off and felt super bad and I get it. It's not her fault. But anyways we get our food and the steak on my salad was undercooked the dressing was bland and the 30$ salad was just overall bland. He ordered a steak which wasn't the best and I could've made it at home for him which would've been better. The only thing that was good about Texas Roadhouse was the bread. 0 out of 10 never going back. I'd save yourself a trip and go somewhere else. The bill was 100$ for 3 things and I didn't even eat any of it. Complete trash read more

I gave it a 3 because the server was so nice and attentive, but it should get a 1. I ordered a Smokehouse burger, rare, and what I got was 99% raw ground beef. Basically steak tartar. It was disgusting. A mostly raw, quite thick patty, with a very, very thin, barely visible brown crust on the top and bottom. It didn't even hold its shape. Just raw mush inside a hamburger bun. I only ate half and tried to eat only the seared parts. Brought what I didn't eat home to cook. They have warnings about undercooked food but there's rare and then there's raw. This was raw. Blech. I probably won't go back. read more

This is a new place in Bellingham, it is actually a breath of fresh air to have a new establishment come into the community. The weight was about a half an hour, and I attribute that to its newness. We got seated in the bar area, the bread is delicious and our waitress was delightful. The music is way too loud, I can see how it would keep the young employees motivated, but very difficult to have a conversation. We ordered our food and we had to wait about 40 minutes for our food to come, which means we had to order more drinks because we were waiting. We had the rib tips, they had lots of flavor, but they were overcooked and very rubbery almost like a Goodyear tire. I had the mushroom chicken, it was delicious with the loaded potato, the potato was a little undercooked and mealy. It's a very casual place to come too and I think they're still trying to work some of the bugs out. I will be back because I would like to be able to give them a fourth star. One tip is call early and get put on the waitlist so that you don't have to go sit in What I would call a penalty box, with a bunch of people throwing peanut shells on the floor. read more

I had such hopes for Texas Roadhouse and eagerly awaited their opening. When we had family visit we decided to try it out. Unfortunately, it was quite a disappointment. First, even if you are on the wait list, the wait on a mid week is over an hour, and then you have to wait again once you are admitted in. The music is so loud we couldn't hear our server and had to yell our orders. Even then the poor gal could not hear and had to clarify our order several times. Then, it was more waiting. Finally the food came and the steaks were grissely and overcooked. The yeast rolls with honey butter were good though. Overall, lots of room for improvement for this new establishment as they find their stride. read more

My wife and I are Canadian Snowbirds who reside in SoCal for the Winter. This is great restaurant chain. Overall, it provides excellent overall value. The service is great, the food is very good, the ambiance is very good, and it's a very happy place. My wife and I have been several times, always to the location, in Menifee, CA. I've had the steak, NY strip and the filet, both very tender and tasty. They have very good ribs too. Their warm buns come quickly, but we always ask for butter, rather than that sweet butter, that many customers prefer. Their side dishes are also excellent. Service is first class, and I get the feeling that the Servers actually enjoy working there and it's very much a teamwork system. I do recommend trying a Texas Roadhouse on your travels. You will not be disappointed. read more

Just a little disappointed. Not like it was in the south. Slightly overpriced. Service was excellent, accommodating and very friendly. Six of us ordered pulled pork, pork ribs, rib eye and prime rib. All delicious and done as ordered. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is a very noisy restaurant, so do not think you can conduct business or any conversation.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more
