I went last night with my 6 year old daughter who is a very picky eater. I did not order her anything because it's a waste of money and food. she simply won't eat it. I ordered off the early bird menu which has maybe 10 choices for 7.99. I picked the pork chop with green beans and loaded mashed potatoes. The potatoes came VERY overloaded with cheese. I took a hand full off and so did my Mom. We put the cheese on a side plate at which time my daughter quickly ate it all. Wow. Then she decided to try the bread with the cinnamon sugar butter. She loved it. Can't blame her though, they are delicious. The pork chop comes with a pepper corn sauce on the side which I loved. The pork chop itself was really, really good. Cooked perfect. The green beans were also fresh and flavored just right. I have to say fresh for the green beans because a lot of places reheat the green beans throughout the week and you can really tell. They are just gross. Not the case here. All in all I was impressed because my daughter asked to try the pork chop and she actually said the sauce was quite tasty. She tried the green beans and mashed potatoes and said they were good too. She proceeded to share my meal (and eat almost all the mashed potatoes) with me and that in itself thrilled me. The very loud music however did not thrill me and thus the 4 stars. read more

I rate this place so high because of the food. I would challenge anyone to find a better Ribeye for the price in the Champaign-Urbana area. I would give it a 2-3 star in every other facet: Atmosphere, Service, and management. The atmosphere is a little stiff and the service is decent, but in my opinion, the food makes up for it all. Great job to the cooks back there. read more

I love this place. It's a great place to bring the family and sit back, pig out, and have a beer or two. It has that bar feeling, very busy and fast paced. Since I'm a mom I don't get to go out a lot anymore, but this place gives you that feeling like you're at a bar but with the kids! I had the hurricane margarita and ribs. It was delicious! Great friendly service, and good food. Love it! read more

Not my first rodeo at a Texas Roadhouse but definitely the most disappointing. Early dinner but still mediocre service and less than appetizing food. This was a Thursday evening, hate to be here on a weekend. The atmosphere was more like a country bar than a restaurant. The music was so loud it was difficult to hold a conversation at our table. Who goes to a restaurant for the music?!! Turn it down or better yet off! When someone came to our table to ask about our experience, he had the demeanor of an exit poll taker. I blew him off and he left. We were shocked to hear him introduce himself at the next table as "one of the owners." There are many good restaurants in town that care about their customers and providing a comfortable atmosphere for diners. If you enjoy the rowdy atmosphere of a country bar, this place is for you. If you like a nice place to share an enjoyable meal with family and friends, look elsewhere. read more

I came here for the first time with a friend who is an absolute fan of this place! Texas Roadhouse is a fun eatery to go to with your friends if you're looking for a nice, casual dining experience. They offer a variety of very hearty, American-style foods. They are known for their steaks and their baby back ribs. I had the ribs and they were delicious! When I came here, we had a super friendly male server. He was very attentive and made our dining experience a great one! read more

We just had dinner at Texas Roadhouse in Champaign Il. this evening 12/31/21. The food was good and the waitress was good. The problem was that the music was turned up so loud that I could not hear the waitress and she could barely hear me. It was extremely annoying. I asked the girl who brought our drinks to turn down the volume. The volume was turned down for maybe thirty seconds and then turned back up as high or higher than before. When the waitress returned to our table I told her that I could not stand the noise and that if they could not turn it down we would have to walk out. I had to speak at a yell for her to hear me. The volume was then turned down. I gave the waitress a large tip in appreciation for her getting the volume turned down. She said that the manager would come and talk to me. The gutless coward of a manager never showed his/her weasley face. read more

Your typical casual dining chain, but with a country theme. The food is just OK, nothing more. The service isn't anything to write home about and usually involves at least one screw-up per visit. Last time I went here my waitress was about as intelligent as a head of cabbage, which seems to be par for the course at this establishment. The prices are fairly low in keeping with the quality of the food and service. I give three stars instead of two because of the warm rolls and cinnamon butter they give you as soon as you sit down. So bad for you yet so, so good. Really, the rolls and butter are the only reason to go here. read more

Wen you dig into the roles you are in heaven and you just need more and more and you can get the best stake it is soooooooooooooooo good

Really enjoy my visits here. The steaks are delicious and priced well. The staff is friendly and on-point. They accidentally overcooked my steak once and brought me a new one free of charge, no questions asked. Overall, well-priced, cool environment, and a great place for a steak dinner! I have no complaints aside from myself not making a reservation and having to wait... but they have call ahead seating, so don't forget to call ahead! read more

Great food, great service! We were in town looking for some good food for our family of 6 and Texas Roadhouse did not disappoint!

I lived in Champaign over 10 years before I finally tried this place last month for the first time. I had this "Ponderosa Steakhouse" impression of it for some reason and imagined it filled to the brim with rude, tobacco juice-spewing cowboys. However, the group I went out with wanted to go, so I thought I would try it. I was pleasantly surprised. First, the place was packed and very, very loud. The floor was covered in peanut shells--perfect for my 6-year old who found it thrilling to be able to purposely throw food on the floor. Score one for appealing to kids. Then, the rolls came. Mmmmmmm. They were heavenly: warm, buttered, with a side of cinnamon butter to go with it. So delicious on a cold day. The kid's menu was awesome. My daughter got the ribs, which were the same size as the half-rack I ordered. Can you say "delicious"? There are very few times in my life that I've had ribs that fall off the bone and taste the way these did (and I'm a midwest native.) We ate every bite and were stuffed! My husband got the full rack and it was a challenge, but he loved it. Our friends ordered the sweet potato with the marshmallow topping for their side. It was huge! That is too sweet for me, but if you like that kind of thing they said it was wonderful. I gave this 4 stars instead of 5 for the noise level. People (even some servers) were singing very loudly to the country music playing over the speakers. The birthday we witnessed was obnoxious. We could hardly hear to have a conversation at our table. However, the food was so good that we were occupied stuffing our faces anyway--so I can forgive the noise. Maybe I'll order take-out next time....since there WILL be a next time. read more

Excellent customer service. My daughter's steak came out over done. The manager gave us a discount because the rest of our party already finished our meal. The food was excellent! read more

Our family's favorite place! Prices are reasonable, food is excellent, and the atmosphere is just right, with the music, peanuts, etc... The staff is what really makes this place stand out though, they all seem to actually enjoy their jobs, and they even look like they're having fun. Make sure you tip them well, they earn it. read more

Yes it's loud, because people are enjoying them selves, you know like having fun while enjoying a delicious meal after a stressful day at work.. Yep, if one have a peanut allergy they shouldn't patronize it... DU!! The Texas Roadhouse not only don't take reservations on New Years Eve, they don't take them the other 364/365 days per year either.. Only call ahead. I have a problem with any one that would sit around for 55 minutes, checking out how dirty a establishment is, than turning around and eating there, now I have a problem with that... and that over priced wine, wait a minute.. it took 2 glasses before one decides they cold get a bottle at the store cheaper..... TEXAS ROADHOUSE, have some of the most friendliest greeters and servers as any restaurant in Champaign-Urbana.. I've eaten there since the first week they opened their door, and their staff has always been very courteous and efficient (here just a couple days ago)... I also call in pick up orders, and I received the same great and efficient service as I do when I dine in... There is no restaurant in the area that beat their price for the quality and quantity of their food... And I love the line dancing... read more

Very good. Bonelss ribs are really good. Sweet potato tastes awesome. read more

I go here frequently, and i can honestly say i've never been disappointed. On my most recent visit, i got the Bone in Ribeye and it was exceptional. Again, the crowd pretty much tells you all you need to know. read more

I've been here a few times now, and maybe I just come at odd hours, but I've never witnessed these dancing servers that everyone else mentions. Also, it's never been all that loud. It's definitely not a quiet restaurant, but I could make conversation with my table without even having to raise my voice. Loud to me is having to yell at the person next to you, who still doesn't have a clue what you're saying. For food, I've stuck mainly with the sirloin steak and the pulled pork. Both are excellent, and I would definitely recommend them. I end up taking at least half of the pork home, and it makes very good leftovers. I prefer my pulled pork a little saucier, but it was no trouble to get some extra bbq sauce. There's a lot more on the menu I'd like to try as well. I'm not personally a fan of the peanut shells all over the floor, but the peanuts were nice the one time I had to wait for a table. read more

Always have had a consistently good service here. It's a go to place for good food and beers. I haven't had a very bad waiter yet. The one problem I had was we were seated before our waiter clocked in for the day, which left us sitting for a while, but the manager apologized and gave us a free appetizer for our wait, which we were happy with. Overall, the food is always consistently good, and the rolls are awesome. The wait on Fri/Sat night is pretty bad though, and the call ahead seating can be a little confusing since I've done it and then seemed to still wait a long time. read more

A good choice for loud groups and it serves decent food at reasonable prices. Seems a big hit for Birthday party groups. Serves a decent Prime Rib. read more

My parents had just finished helping my girlfriend and I move into our new apartment and I wanted them to eat at a place we'd been to before instead of trying a "hole in the wall" place that might suck We'd been to the location in Wisconsin and thought it was a lot of food and would be fun and different....it is. 1) The bread you get when you sit down is the best tasting bread ever 2) The country fried chicken/steak is a honkin' large slab of meat you won't finish (prolly cuz you just ate a bunch of rolls) 3) It comes with amazing chili and great cheesy fries 4) The beer on tap tasted good Peanuts on the floor everywhere, great/fun waitresses, fun atmosphere, a ton of food for the price, etc...what's not to like here? Bottom line....go there...it may not be the mom and pop tiny location where you feel like you're park of a small town hidden gem...but with this type of variety and environment who cares? 4 people, 2 bbq pulled pork sandwiches, 2 country fried steaks, 2 salads, 2 bowls of chili, 2 tall glasses of beer, 1 big frozen Margarita, $63 read more

Quality: I had the Chicken Tender meal with the corn dish and the steak fries. The quality is delicious and it doesn't taste like it came from a frozen bag. Everything is really fresh, especially the complimentary rolls and sweet butter they offer. It makes me come back again and again. Service: The service here has always been exceptional. The servers seem genuinely interested in assisting you and go above and beyond to make sure you are consistency refilled with drinks and rolls Speed: If you get here early enough, you won't have a wait. On the other hand, going at 7 p.m. on a Friday night can be up to two hours. Make sure to plan ahead if you want to eat here. It takes about 15 minutes to receive your food from when you order, but you'll receive unlimited rolls and cinnamon butter in the meantime. As a tip, utilize their "Call-ahead" seating. While they don't accept reservations, you'll receive a table faster if you call anytime before you arrive. I often call as soon as I get in the car! Price: The prices are very modest. I tend to leave with a $16 bill including tip and always leave more than full. If you come before 6 p.m. on most weekdays, you can receive an "Early bird" meal discount on many food items. Atmosphere: The restaurant is covered in country and "America" decor, and they play music to fit. It feels like a very casual and great place if you aren't looking for something fancy. It's very loud and has a "roudy" feel to it, so if you aren't looking for this type of atmosphere, this won't be the place. For those looking for a fun, laid back time, you'll fit in just fine. Location: The parking lot can often be very full, so get here early. The location itself is located not terribly far from campus or the main part of Champaign. It's not difficult to get to if you have a car, but a bus can be more difficult to time correctly. Variety: While they don't offer many healthy options to my girlfriend's dismay, they have your typical american fare. Not a place to take someone on a diet or who is a vegetarian, but you'll find your favorite meat item here (Chicken, steak, shrimp, etc.) Consistency: I have constantly received excellent service, and while the food is better some days than others, I constantly want to go back. Final thoughts; I love Texas Roadhouse. It's been one of my favorite places to go and has consistently delivered on both quality and service. Make sure to come early to avoid the long waits, but it's definitely worth any wait! read more

Today was our first visit to Texas Roadhouse and needless to say anytime we are craving steak & excellent service again we will be going back. When we arrived it was very busy (graduation weekend in Champaign/Urbana) and were told that it would be a 10-20 minute wait, less than 5 minutes later we were seated. Our waitress was Sara and she went above and beyond to make sure our dining experience was top notch. Never once did we have to ask for refills on our liquids, our order came out to us perfect, Sara checked-in to make sure everything was what we had wanted...overall one of the best waitresses we have ever had. We were also pleasantly surprised when one of the managers came up to chat with us and welcome us...great customer service! We started our meal by enjoying wonderful fresh rolls. We then had a baby bloom as our appitizer...the cajun horseradish dip was excellent. My husband enjoyed a side salad and I had a Ceasar salad...both were excellent and the croutons were perfect (usually don't even eat them, but gobbled them up this time). My husband had the ribeye and his exact statement was "This is the best ribeye that I have had since I lived in Pine Island"....THAT was 31 years ago!! He enjoyed sauteed mushrooms (butter sauteed) on top of his ribeye (oh, yes, and he said that his ribeye "just melts in my mouth"). I had the prime rib which was fantastic. Perfectly cooked, creamy horseradish & au jus helped make this one very tasty prime rib. We both enjoyed baked potatoes with our meals and the salt to the outside of the potatoes added a wonderful touch of flavor. Portion sizes were excellent and we left with to-go containers...so we get to enjoy our wonderful lunch for supper too :) We highly recommend Texas Roadhouse. Great food. Great service. Great atmosphere. Another great thing about the Texas Roadhouse is that they actually cut all of their steaks on-site. read more

This place is awesome. The steaks are flavorful, service is great, staff seems like they really do like their jobs, and everything is consistently on point. For a restaurant that has a naturally 'dirty' feel with peanut shells everywhere and whatnot, the place is kept pretty clean. We eat in and order takeout regularly. For the amount of food you get the prices are cheap too IMHO. I'm a big guy and I usually get two meals out of it. read more

FRIED PICKLES. 'NUFF SAID! ;D No, when it comes to a fried pickle, tho, and my sister and I have sampled a lot, nothing beats a Texas Roadhouse fried pickle. -heart- Creamy ranch, golden batter, and the pickle isn't lost in the whole thing! Much like most of their fare, food is simple, unassuming, love of the land kind of grub. Sure, there's peanut shells under foot, and people yelling 'Yeehaw!', but that doesn't detract from a diverse menu just filled with amazing options! It's really the ambiance, and the warmth of this place that lends to its charm. Priced right around the $10-$15 a plate, you'll take home leftovers (a promise!), and you'll leave stuffed. You can even drink, here, without breaking the bank! Like I said, while this food is pretty stellar all the way around, the place only loses a star for its... well, ambiance and charm. LOL. Those things are so perfectly fine and if you're comfortable with a boot scoot going on about ten fingers' width from your table, this experience is for you! However, if you're looking for elegance and up-scale fine-dinery... pass on by! If I didn't say it before, GET A FRIED PICKLE (basket)! ;D read more

I had the 6 oz sirloin with ribs and a "kicker" of shrimp scampi. Everything tasted very good however my steak was supposed to be medium but was medium rare. I didn't notice until I had cut into it because the lighting was too dim IMO. Also, the music was so loud I felt I had to raise my voice to speak to my husband across the table. Like I said, the food was above average so if you like loud country western music and low lighting then this would a great recommendation. read more

Great Steak and Salad at a great price. $10.99 for a 6oz sirloin steak that comes with a salad. The only negative I have is that the music playing is loud which makes it harder to have a conversation with someone. Other than that, this is a great place. read more

I really like coming to Texas Roadhouse. The bread is awesome (buttery, but awesome). They have a few good dishes but I personally love the ribs. They are extremely tender and slide right off the bone. Would highly recommend this order. read more

Annoying Moths from peanut barrel.! We went for dinner about 7:30pm Sept 2nd and were sat at the first booth to the right hand side next to the peanut barrel. We noticed a small moth flying around, then there were three. We mentioned this to our server who went to get the manager but came back to tell us that the moths were from the peanuts. When I asked to be moved the server giggled and said " they are only moths"! FYI don't sit by the peanut barrel!!! Needless to say we never did see a manager. Very disappointed! read more

Good food at a reasonable price. Have visited a couple of times. The complimentary bread is nice and we like the shrimp starter. The main courses are good too and the ambience is not bad. read more

On our way back from Carbondale for the eclipse of we stopped by to get some food. Our server Kelsie was amazing!! She was such a sweet heart and knew we were in a hurry to get back on the road. She was quick, efficient and even sent us home with a box of rolls for the road. I probably won't be back since it was just a stop on the road, but was definitely satisfied with my choice. read more

I love Texas Roadhouse. The staff here are great. My steak wasn't cooked to my liking but they tried to make it better.

I'll start by saying, I rarely leave Texas Roadhouse unsatisfied. The steaks are the best you can find and the atmosphere is fun. I have recently had several terrible servers. They have been forgetful and messed up drinks and side requests. The last two times I have been there, the steaks have been way under cooked. I have to order my steak medium well to get a medium rare steak. I ordered medium rare today and the steak was so rare that the entire thing was red even on the sides on the outside. No pink at all. Overall I like the food but some things are needing improvement. read more

I have never (knock on wood) had a bad experience here. The food is great, the menu selection is awesome, prices are reasonable, plenty of sides to choose from and my wife, daughter and I always get a friendly waitress. They line dance upon request and Tuesdays are kids days where they can get a free animal balloon, free ice cream and 2 free toys. Highly recommended. read more

Ordered a sirloin medium with mushrooms. When I received it the steak was cold and we'll as the rubbery mushrooms. I sent it back. Waited 15 mins for another steak. By the time I got my meal my family was finished eating. My second was in a plate of blood and at its best medium rare. I wasn't welling to wait another 15 mins so I ate the outside edges and not the center. I was offered any discount and the manager never addressed the issue. This is the 3rd time in the last 6 months I have sent something back there. I will not return. I can go to The Ribeye and get an all around better meal for about the same price. read more

Ive never left a review especially a bad review... I understand things happen but I am not happy with my visit at all tonight. Starts with the restrooms where disgusting and I find it horrible service when you walk into the restrooms before even being seated and you have multiple employees standing in the restrooms up against the sinks on the cell phones texting/fb whatever it may be. Then you walk into a stall and there is nothing but urine all over the top of the toilet seat and the ground is all weat around it. But let's get to the rest of my horrible visit. My husband, myself, one of our friends, my younger brother-in-law, and his friend went into eat tonight around 8:20ish at the champaign location. We walked in with there not being very many people in the dinning area. We were seated at our table and told that they would bring us some rolls. My husband, our friend, and myself ordered drinks that our waiter NEVER I.D. FOR....... Needless to say 5-10 minutes or so went by, we still didn't have any rolls or any plates to put any rolls on. My brother-in-law finally went up to the front and asked them for some rolls with the waiter finally coming to our table and saying that he is very sorry everybody in the building has worked a double today. (Again we understood) As they only gave us small basket with less rolls then people we had in our group....whatever we let it go. Our waiter comes and takes our order finally.... again another 40-45 min wait....when it's Sunday night and they close at 9:00.... (REALLY BUSY) we finally got our food. About this time until the time we got done eating there was two bus boys in the area that had swept the same part of the floor for 20 minutes, like it was a reason to stay in our area and check stuff out. After getting our food, I had to ask for ranch again with my cheddar/bacon fries with a side of RANCH that I had ordered to begin with from some other waitress standing in the area. My little brother-in-law had ordered the pulled pork dinner, with sides of a baked potato with cheese and bacon, and WHAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE FRIES..... loaded with cheese and bacon.... his plate had the pulled pork, a baked potato with cheese and bacon, and a CUP WITH CHEESE AND BACON.... never any fries. Instead of complaining because it was after closing and we were half way done with our food we continued to eat and go on with our dinner. Our waiter brings us our ticket for $91.27... my husband and I paid for the ticket for all of us.... get our to go boxes, and leave at this time being about 9:30ish. We left get over to thortans gas station on Mattis when our friend of ours that was with us realized that he didn't have his wallet and he left it sitting on the table where we ate our dinner. We then left thortans and went straight back to Texas roadhouse only being gone for a matter or 3-5 minutes. As we approach the door and not being able to get in because it was after 9:30 when we left the first time obviously... the one last set of customers was walking out the building that let us in. We went in and approached the waiter that we had and asked him if anyone had seen the wallet we had just left on the table.. he said no he hasn't seen anything as they went over and looked the table was already cleared off, wiped down, and set with new dishes. He went straight under the table where the wallet was at and hands it to him. As our buddy walk out comes out to the car with his wallet he opens it and all the $$$ he had in there was gone.. we went back up to the door AGAIN knocking and knocking and knocking finally a hostess answered the door and went and got the manager. As the manager comes out and we explain to her what happens she takes me in there and I show her which ones where hanging around our table for ever "Cleaning." She supposedly took them to the back and searched them coming out saying she found nothing ... yeah because they DONE TOOK THE MONEY AND HID IT IN THE BUILDING SOMEWHERE, she then throws a business card at my husband and tells him to call the distract manager and slams the front door in our faces. After the cops show up and tell us that basically we are shit out of luck and they won't pin point who it is because someone hid the money they stole, and the hostess and waiters/waitresses lied and said we found the wallet and pulled it from under the table when it wasn't us it was our waiter that "found it" and pulled it from under the table. The manager saying she won't even refund the $91.27 +tip I spent on food. It was the WORST EXPERIENCE I've EVER had in my lifetime at a restaurant from the employees, to the managers, go the cops sticking up for them... I WILL NEVER EVER BE BACK. THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE $180 + MEAL TONIGHT!!!!!! One of them employees is responsible for taking the $90 out of a wallet that they SHOULD OF NEVER OPENED. I know I am forgetting stuff to add in there.. But NEVER NEVER NEVER EVER EVER AGAIN..... read more

warm sweet rolls and a bucket of peanuts before you even sit down at the table. long island ice teas in mugs, although not strong but yummy. My Medium Rare Dallas fillet was savory and tender. The chili side was ordinary. Overall, I was content with my food and had half of it left for the next day. The theme is kinda cheesey and they make the waitresses do some silly dance every hour, but hey all in good fun. Beats having to go to the gym afterwards, since it looks like a good 10 minutes workout for them. read more

Ate here last Saturday it was about a 30 minute with call ahead seating! The steak was perfect and the waitress never let my glass run dry! Lots of country music and TV. Only thing missing was a line dance by the staff, then it truely would have been in Texas. read more

This is exactly like a Lone Star - blaring country music, peanut shells all over the floor, odd mix of middle age folks. Moderate prices - I got 1/2 lb of chicken and 2 sides for $10 while my partner got grilled salmon and 2 sides for about the same. Maybe the service was bad because we happened to get in right before hundreds of people poured in to eat after grad ceremonies, but our waitress gave us our bill before we had even bitten into our food, never asked about dessert, and pushed a To-Go cup when my partner asked for a refill. We had only been there 20 minutes when the To-Go thing was pushed, and the waitress came back to our table and the one next to us every - and I mean every - 3 minutes of the entire fiasco. Plus they have this chanting-shouting thing there... Perhaps a coordinated dance? All we knew was that 4 times in the first 15 minutes we were there, the staff began pounding, clapping and chanting (really, shouting). The food was not bad, but it certainly was not good enough to overcome the noise and stalkerish, rushed service. I'm more inclined to say that this was not just a one time bad-service day because the place was full of teeny bopper waitresses with braces who never took away a dirty plate. More like never-had-waitressing-101. BUT it was far enough from campus that I felt like I was really out with the community instead of UIUC students. read more
