They have a great steakhouse salad. I enjoy their steaks and house salad too. Ribs are very good. I've eaten here many times. Almost always very busy. After 4pm you might want to use call ahead seating. read more

Texas Roadhouse - House salad - Steakhouses Near Me - Cedar Rapids, Iowa

Not much explanation needed. Hands down best steakhouse in Cedar Rapids. The service is top notch. The prices are good. The food is delicious. We try to make it a ritual to come in every Friday (if we miss a week they notice). They know us by name. We usually sit at the bar where the bartenders are always quick to get our favorites without having to ask. We have met so many others sitting at the bar that say they come in for the same reasons. They make us feel right at home. I can honestly say that I have never had a bad experience whether we sit at the bar or at a table. read more

I have been here many time but today the place was a mess. I asked to have our table wiped down and she came back with a dry rag. There was dust so thick on the top of the divider that I could right my name in it. My husband went to the restroom and ok me of the toilets had run over all over the floor. The toilet was.plugged. I will not be back until this place is cleaned up. read more

My husband and I visited here many times and have never been disappointed. Last Saturday, we went for lunch. He had steak and I had pork chops. It was delicious. Their food and service never let us down. read more

We normally order "take out". I'm older and it's a little too much "atmosphere" (noise) for me. We like the "Road Kill" meal. Ground beef burger patty with lots of melted cheese and mushrooms. A salad, rolls, and baked potato round out a good meal. $7-$9. No drink or tip to add. Wife and I normally share the meal. It's plenty. We brag it up so often, our kids give us Christmas Gift cards to this place, so you know we like it. :o) For the bigger appetite they have a great onion appetizer. We only get that when we go as a family and can share it. 'o) read more

Love the food, don't like the call ahead. We used the call the call ahead and told them we needed a table, not a booth, for one in our party had a wheelchair. Didn't mind waiting, was upset that even when we got there, told them we needed a table, they still tried to stick us at a booth. Manager got informed and we waited longer and got the table. Need better people running the seating/call ahead. Why have our beeper go off, just to stand in the way of everybody going in and out, servers too, and wait even longer for table. Just have the beeper go off when table is ready and keep everyone out of the hallway! read more

Do you like salt with a side of heart disease? This is the place! It's good and have great owner. Essential during the Trump virus. Back to my original question though...do you like salty heart attacks? WELL DO YOU??? read more

I eat here a lot. And its almost always great! My last visit however was bad. I know with the Covid and all that wait times are long and I except that. My visit Friday evening was terrible to say the least. The rolls were hard and over baked. Weren't even warm like usual. I ordered what I normally do a 8 oz. New York Strip medIum well. What they brought me I'm not sure. It was round prob circumference of a baseball very thin and cooked way to long. Outside was black no pink in middle and tuff. I asked waiter and helper if they thought it looked medium well and they both said it looked way way overcooked. It was burnt! They didn't even know what cut it was! The waiter said ill get you another and I said a 8 ounce Strip this time. It took forever to get the next one and waiter said Manager would bring it out. No manager but steak was what I normally get and cooked perfect. Service was average at best. I will go back but this is the 2nd visit out of probably 100 that was bad and I felt it needed to be shared!! read more

The food is great, when they get it right. We've had three bad experiences, back to back, where they either brought the wrong dish, or overlooked the steak. Then while you are waiting for your correct meal, the rest of the table is done and ready to go. Super frustrating. read more

Prime Rib here is the best I've had, my steaks are always made right, and the buns are to die for

Excellent food. Servers friendly. Steaks done to your liking. Price is reasonable. Great place to eat but really noisy. For a person who is hard of hearing not a good place to hear anyone. read more

We order from this restaurant once per week. We love the food and that is why we have ignored the several negative customer service experiences over the past few years. When I contacted the managing partner to voice my concern about our most recent curbside pickup experience (food came out 30 minutes after it was promised) he was unavailable and excuses were made by the key operator manager as to why this happened. I left several messages to have my call returned by the managing partner. I called every day for a week, and when I finally reached him and explained my concern, I was told to "give them some leeway" as they are "understaffed and overworked" and that "food may be delayed by a few minutes". During our conversation, he was condescending, rude, and disrespectful. We will never go back based not only on our most recent experience, but most specifically for the way he treated a repeat customer. read more

I have been there a few times in the past couple years. Horrible steaks and service. The wait which people in this town think that is the sign of a good restaurant are mistaken. I'll gladly give my money to a locally owned business before dropping a dime here again. read more

Last night we went to TR for the first time in ages. Had a free appetizer coupon, and have not been there in a while. My husband ordered Prime Rib, (which he loves). Did pay much attention when he got it, but he did miss au jus. Then he really looked and noticed it was not a piece of prime rib, but a ribeye steak (noticed the grill marks). Called our waiter Andrew over and he quickly took care of it and got my husband the prime rib he ordered. Not only did they make the order right but they took the charge for his prime rib off the bill! Was asked many times if everything was okay, and if we needed anything. As we left each employee we passed thanked us for coming in and to come back again. read more

I am done with TR. it was 2 weeks ago and once again wanted to give them a chance and have a steak only to have the order wrong. Took the time to call them about the order and a Manager (I think he said his name was Chad or Chase) who was of course somewhat apologetic about their mistake, offers reconciliation with gift certificates to be emailed to me. And of course I get nothing from them. If I had the ability to give them 0 stars I would. I wish a new steakhouse would open in Cedar Rapids. read more

I think in my opinion that this place is a one star restraunt but the food wasent great but the bread was good so i also said 2 stars. the service there was bad because first of all we had to wait 40-55 minutes just to sit down and dont forget the time it takes to order and have the food to get to the table. For a scale of 1 to 10 for neatness and cleanliness i give it a 1. That bad you ask, yes it was really bad. The waiting room had peanuts all over and the dining room same thing. I don't plan on coming back anytime soon. read more

This place is awesome. The bread is amazing. We got the cheese fries and they did not disappoint. The steak was cooked perfectly. Check out the picture of it at http://x.co/68dPe The staff is really friendly and I like the new tables by the bar. The chairs are hard to move but like them a lot. read more

Great hamburger. Manager and bartender couldn't be more accommodating to an out of town sports fan. Tried to do everything for me to get my game on screen even leant me their cell phone to follow it on mlb game day. read more

Food is great as long as you don't order take out. There is an 80% chance something will be missing from your order.

Great service. Great food. Our server was a tiny girl named Kaylee sweet as could be. So glad we called ahead for seating because last time we waited 40 minutes and that was a Tuesday night, this time we walked in got seated and our drinks order taken all within 10 minutes. The place was packed. My partner and I had the Road Kill which is just chopped steak and we always like it. My brother had a full rack of ribs and let me taste them. AMAZING! His girlfriend had a 10 ounce ribeye and was happy with that. The green beans are out of this world and the baked sweet potato was not only huge but really good. Then there are those baskets of rolls with the cinnamon butter. I could eat just those without the butter and feel content. If I have anything to complain about its just that the music is just a tad loud, but that only adds to the ambience. read more

I'm not that hyped up about this place and I should really only give them one star but I like the bread so they get two. Its always busy in this place and yes its a steak joint people, I love meat but not enough to wait an hour when I know what I'm going to get, crappy service and a bad attitude from most of the people they and other ticked off people that are angry about the wait for bad service. My friends like going here I would rather grill out at my place then come here better steaks and no crappy service! read more

We had two orders of the chili, bowls, and an order of beef tips. It took a while for the food to come out. The waitress stopped by to say the kitchen was backed up. When the food did come out the chili was skinned over like it was prepared right away and sat until the beef tips were ready. The bowls were only half full also. The waitress was apparently over worked and not feeling it anymore. The whole experience was less than then good, had better at other Texas road houses. After the meal the waitress new we were not pleased and said the manager was going to come over but was too busy? The Manager did make it over and offered some vouchers. read more

I've tried this place several times and they always mess something up. Very noisy environment and not very clean. One of my close friends found bugs in their food and manager was very rude. I have nothing nice to say, recommend to go somewhere else. read more

This is directed at only Take Out, which this was my first time. I called and was on hold for 7mins before someone took my order. Ordered and was told 15 to 20mins (time then was 6:03pm). Got there at 6:20pm and was told it wasn't ready. By the time I got out of there it was it was 6:55pm. Very slow! read more

One thing I will say if you're planning on going here, it might pay to call ahead on a Friday at 5 p.m. or Saturday the parking lot is full and people are parking in the theater parking lot next door. The wait for us was 45 minutes! But there are places to sit after a few people get seated so you can snack on Peanuts while you're waiting. The sirloin tip meal is very delicious and tender! The 8-ounce sirloin sometimes is a hit and miss. During my last visit a medium well was not tender at all. Chewy and almost inedible. It was nice to see a manager come to the table because most of the time we never have had that happen. We never asked to see a manager she just wanted to make sure everything was satisfactory and making the rounds. I'm glad she did. Meals are reasonably priced too. The rolls are delicious don't eat too many of them or you will fill yourself up before you get your meal! read more

The last time we were at Texas Roadhouse we were very disappointed. The food was good with the exception that we had to send a steak back that we'd asked to be cooked well done and it came to us rare. Their biggest offense was when my husband opened his napkin to get his silverware out and a peanut she'll with chewed up gum fell out. Gross right? read more

My chicken was undercooked! Thank god I broke it before eating it. Could have been sick. First time in Iowa and I almost got food poisoning in just 2 hours of being here! I am so upset because even my Uber driver said this place was good! I'm disappointed. I choose this place over everything else. Ugh! read more

See all

Everything was great!! My waitress Stacia was on point with her service and the food was awesome!! If I'm every back in Iowa I be sure to visit this place again. read more

Steak was good and so was service we sat at the bar. Sirlon was tender and cooked per our order. Salad and rolls were fresh.

Love to eat here,but the last time I was there,the host sat us in a section that was not open,dozens of servers walked by us and after sitting waiting for 10 minutes the manager came over and was wondering why were sitting there,ah because your host sat us there,a friendly worker went out of his way and waited on us. read more

This isn't trying to compete with fancy steakhouses that cost a lot more, but I think it's a pretty good economical restaurant. The meat is always decently aged and quite tender, and their warm rolls with cinnamon honey butter are a big favorite with my daughter. read more

Their sirloin was really good! Waiter was really attentive this time around and overall good experience compared to my last 3 visits over the last 6 months. The prime rib was a bit too raw for one of the people I was with, but they fixed it right away and got it cooked more. The only bad thing about that was by the time she got her prime rib back, everyone else was halfway done with their meal. read more

Stopped for lunch, got right in. Food was good, place is to crowded. They try to get as many people shoved in small booths. Always loud there. read more

Ok, let's get one thing clear: Texas Roadhouse is about fantasy. There's not a roadhouse anywhere near Cedar Rapids, but if you want to pretend you're in Texas, this is the place. Nothing wrong with that; I fall for the same stunt down at Famous Dave's. Thing is, I'm just not a big steak fan, so I'm biased. When I went with some friends this weekend, I ordered their half-rib platter, which was very good. I was pleasantly surprised. The sides seemed a little skimpy, but I can overlook that. Two friends ordered a pork chop, which was on the short side of tiny. The service was very good, and the pails of peanuts set the right mood. Like I said, if you like steak, you probably won't be disappointed. read more

TRH is a chain. TRH is about fantasy (I especially like the Disneyland analogy). Having said that, it is a notch above average in spite of its chain status, hence the 4th star.. The food: The steaks are actually pretty good. The best I've ever had? No. Still good? Yes. I'm a big fan of the Porterhouse and Ribeye. The side dishes are merely acceptable. Not great, but not terrible. The service: Meh, a bit over the top. I don't like places where the person who delivers the food is not my server. Too easy to screw things up that way. Plus, it makes me feel less inclined to tip the server well because they're not... you know... actually serving. Calling ahead to save wait time is crucial. TRH is good, but not an hour wait good. The only place that good is, well... Disneyland. Prices: I don't think they're cheap at all, but after reading many reviewers on here, maybe I'm the one that is cheap. Overall: Better than the other steak chains in town. I want to try TJ's, but haven't yet. read more

Had dinner at Texas Roadhouse for the 2nd time this week. Both times the food was either bland, not cooked to the temperature ordered, not prepared right, or tasted weird. For example, the blossom was not spicy like we expected, a med-well steak came out rare, and ceasar salads had way too much dressing. They provide a lot of food, but go somewhere else if you want good food, at least until they fix their kitchen issues and return to their former quality of food. read more

Texas Roadhouse has FANTASTIC steak. Their bread is also delicious. My only complaint is that they are always SUPER busy so you can never get in without waiting and hour. CALL BEFORE YOU GO or you'll end up waiting forever. read more

I'm from Denver almost did not go to the Texas Roadhouse because of the Yelp reviews. Very impressed with my 20oz ribeye and grilled salmon (wife and I split two entree ). Service was adequate not friendly but efficient. Loved it!!! read more

service is great and I love the rolls and butter. Always a great portion of food and usually pretty fresh!

We love the food here! Absolutely love the ribeyes they are the best!!! BUT do NOT care how you are rushed through your experience, can't sit & enjoy your drink, your appetizers nor your entree. If I have 1 thing to say would be slow down or enlarge your building. Customer service goes a LONG way! read more
