The Texas Roadhouse in Covington had been a family favorite since they originally opened many year ago, but the current operators of this location are going to destroy the reputation of this with their poor understanding of what the food is supposed to look like and taste like. My wife and I went to this location on March 6 around 5pm and were quickly seated,. The very attentive server, who just started working there a short time ago, took our orders, so far so good. One favorite is the pulled pork platter, which has a picture on the menu of shredded, "pulled " pork cooked in barbecue sauce. When the food arrived at our table, it was lumps of fatty gristly pork with absolutely no barbecue sauce. When we mentioned it to our server she went to the kitchen and was told that the pulled pork sandwich was prepared with barbecue sauce. If that were true then why did the menu show it cooked in sauce as it has been the other dozens of times my wife ordered it. Maybe they should look at the menu photo as an instructional one and try to make it resemble that. There was no offer to prepare it properly or to credit our bill and offer to prepare something else. I suggest that Texas Roadhouse either train them in proper food preparation or replace the entire kitchen staff. Don't waste your money there unless this happens! read more

Food was delicious and reasonable. Waiter was very good. A little noisy but we expected that at this restaurant.

I've never been so disrespected in my life. I knew something was off when I approached the door with my girlfriend that the hostesses were nodding their head. I then entered and they proceeded by telling me they dont have anything available, only the bar. Half the restaurant was open mind you. They just did not want to seat us because they were closing soon. The manager came up and they were both together on not letting us eat there because they were closing soon. Very unprofessional. The manager's name was Jessica. read more

7/27/18 7pm I stopped at Texas Roadhouse off I-12 on my way to Texas. I am Expedite drive who drives freight all across the country. The restaurant was slammed busy but I always eat at the bar anyway. Libby was on point and there was a pretty blonde too(I don't remember her name but she was a sweetheart. I had the 10oz Ribeye medium. The chef could not have made the steak any more Perfect! I have been to several locations and all were excellent but this location was more than exemplary! I love Texas Roadhouse because of the butter for the rolls have a special kick and the steak always taste fresh cut. The bartenders always get to know your name and make it a personal experience. Libby was on her game and is management material if ever I met someone who is perfect at her job. 1 of the managers Shelby comes and greets every sitting at the bar and has a great spirit about her. I will stop at this location every time I come to Texas from now on! I can't say enough great things about this I-12 location. I have been to Virginia,Massachusetts,Laredo and this is the best restaurant in the Country so far! Not just Texas Roadhouse, any restaurant I have been too and I eat out every single meal. read more

2-2-2022 I wanted to Thank and give a huge shout out to Lorna the manager . Texas Roadhouse, Covington, LA . We waited over 1 hour for our food due to a lost ticket . It was a slow night in the restaurant on a Tuesday. The waitress was nice but she should have recognized the time frame when others after us came in and was served before us . After over 1 hour wait, I went up to speak to a manager . Lorna the manger came at the same time and responded efficiently , professionally and accurately to the situation . We will be back to visit the Texas Roadhouse not only for the good food in Covington , LA but due to the exceptional customer service that Lorna the manager handled . Texas Roadhouse, picked a great leader to handle this situation and make it right for us to return back. read more

Three different steak dinners, two different chicken dinners and we were all raving about the meal, the Cactus mum and mushrooms. Felt very safe in the way they have the plexiglass partitions and the very pleasant masked servers. Well worth the drive across the lake from Metairie. read more

We ordered a appetizer & then ordered our food a few minutes after. We got our appetizer & within 2 minutes after our meal came. We couldn't even enjoy our hot appetizer when all the other food is put in front of us. I understand if people have to go back to work. This was not the case. If you have to get out quickly don't buy an appetizer. We felt so rushed. The manager spoke with us & we told her that we felt rushed. She apologized & clearly just really didn't care. Sometimes words are just words. SAD! read more

Food was delicious however the wait to get served took forever. Our waitress tried however she was not able to keep up. We arrived at 12:30 and we didn't get our food until almost 2pm. Needless to say we have a ton of to go boxes. We waited almost 30 min to get drinks. Being so hungry, we ate the bread and appetizer and so much time passed that we were no longer hungry for the entree we ordered. We have a bunch of togo boxes. It was not as enjoyable a visit as we had in the past. read more

WORST STEAK WE EVER ATE!! My 14-ounce ribeye was like a piece of leather and so was the person's filet that sat next to me. NEVER AGAIN! :( NOT worth the wait, and almost $100.00 we left there. The service was just awful. They told us they were short on help after we sat down and had waited all that time. They told us they were only half staffed. Our potatoes were cold and it was just a mess for us. Never going back to this place. We use to love this place but since COVID-19 it is NOT the same. There are too many other places to go that will value their customers. TEXAS ROADHOUSE go on back to TEXAS! Highly disappointed... read more

omg where do I begin we had a beautiful day in Covington and for us to have to end our day on a bad note like that at this place was awful to say the least.First of all we sat at a dirty table you could still see the stains of food from the last people and the water from their glasses like wtf. Mind you I had my 2 boys. order the food get asked for a baked potato with butter cheese and chives no chives cool just butter and cheese is what I asked for got the Caesar salad for side which comes out first, man the effing plate had black shit in it like they just threw the salad in any bowl the top looked wiped but the black shit was terrible boy they fucked over us as adults cause we ain't eat but the kids did but told them about the salad I immediately wanted to leave but I couldn't do that to my boys *hard eye roll okay get the food they have bacon on my potato now I don't eat pork not to mention we waited a whole hour for the food my baby kept looking for his macaroni but to wait so long and the order is half complete is like bro wtf but WE WILL MOST DEFINITELY NEVER VISIT AGAIN read more

This place is always buzzin but now we understand why! Service was excellent! We were served on hand and foot! Never had time to want for anything. Great place to watch the games with all the tvs around! The 11oz sirloin was juicy and delicious and the grilled salmon was cooked to perfection!! Both meals came w 2 side dishes which gave us a salad before our meal and veggies. This place made for a nice night out for the two of us and it also serves well for families with good prices. All of these things contributed to it rating a five star for casual dining. read more

See all

Why can I not find a decent place like this that does not feature country music 24/7. It really makes me loose my appetite. But for real for the price you can't get a better steak. They have the fire horseradish sauce and call ahead seating. Don't mind me if I'm eating with my headphones plugged it. Don't forget to tip your server well read more

Typically it's a good experience... One time wasn't so good but corporate office made it right! Refunded our money and asked us to come back again and try it out! We did and service was as usual great! read more

Excellent food, service and environment. I love this place. My family wants this place every weekend.

I knew better. I really did. My experience at Texas Roadhouse was awful. I should've known better and I learned my lesson. Chain Steakhouses have grown by leaps and bounds since Outback first came to the area many years ago. There must be four different restaurants with roadhouse in their name around the country, but this version is proud to be Texas. That means a western theme throughout the restaurant which I actually liked. Everything else pretty much ensured I will think carefully before every returning. I visited this location with my kids after watching a movie across the interstate. It was late, we hadn't eaten since breakfast and I knew I had a limited window before their inner demons came out. This restaurant was close and I figured they would have something for all of us. The restaurant seemed very dirty when we walked in. I'm not sure if it was the shells on the floor, but I'm sure that contributed to it. I remember loving throwing shells on the floor as a kid so maybe I'm just an old fuddy duddy now. The staff seemed very uninterested that we had arrived, but we were seated fairly quickly. The unclean vibe surrounded us once we were seated because there were at least four dirty tables filled with dishes around us. They slowly began cleaning up after we had been seated a bit, but it was off putting. Our server was reasonably friendly, but like the hosts, seemed uninterested in helping us. Everything was forced and done as if it were a chore. For food, I ordered a t-bone and the kids got chicken tenders. My steak was over cooked, bland and tough. I guess I could have sent it back, but at that point I wanted food and wanted to go. My kids said the chicken tenders were equally awful which surprised me. It's almost impossible to mess up chicken tenders. We got some to-go containers, paid the bill and rolled out. The entire experience was pretty horrible. As far as chain steakhouses go, I think this is one of the worst. read more

Where do I start?? Waiter was rude. Ribs were over cooked. Fries were cold. Salad had old lettuce. Margs had too much syrup. Steaks severely over cooked. Food took 40 minutes. Will not be returning to this location. Super sad because we used to come here weekly. read more

This is a great steakhouse! Steaks are tender, juicy, and cooked perfectly. Hats off to Jeremy, who was our chef tonight. The fried catfish was tender, flaky, and absolutely delicious too! Not to mention those famous hot honey-cinnamon buttered rolls. Our waiter, Harry, was fantastic!!! He kept our drinks filled, and checked on us often to make sure all of our needs were met. Harry was friendly, and had a great sense of humor. We had so much fun, while enjoying our meal, and Harry made our "Sister's Day" celebration a memorable one. He even took a photo with us! We will definitely go to this Texas Roadhouse again, and recommend it to everyone! read more

Texas Roadhouse - Front Dining area - Steakhouses Near Me - Covington, Louisiana

One star because zero stars were not an option! Worst experience and service. Waitress was nonexistent and took over 45 minutes to receive our food. Quality of food was terrible!!! Would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. Upon leaving several other consumers were informing the managing staff of their awful experience... read more

I called at 2:30 to make a reservation. We get the guy tells us they don't do that than the girl tells him to look at the computer. He stares at it for a few and say I don't see your name. We there so I tell my wife we wait he say 25 to 30 min. I watch people come in after us get a table after 50 minutes in I say hell with it. And go get Buffalo Wings. read more

Took over an hour for our steaks to come out, manager even asked us how we were doing and we told her that we were waiting for an hour for our food, she didn't even do anything about it or to help, just walked away. I ended up having to take my food to go as soon as it came out because I was going to be late for a meeting. Didn't expect over an hour just for my steak to come out and then once I got to eat my steak later that night it seemed like it wasn't even a good cut of meat. That was the second time that I've had to wait a long time for my food. The Texas Roadhouse in Slidell is 1000x better. Won't be back at the Covington location, save your time and money and drive the extra miles to Slidell if you want to go to a good Texas Roadhouse. read more

Mediocre steak. Good environment for families, very kid friendly. Free peanuts and you get to sit on a saddle for your birthday. Crazy crowded on Friday evenings. read more

Even though it was crowded they got us right in. Salads were crisp and fresh, rolls steaming hot and peanuts spot on. Everything came out piping hot and made to order. Everyone was friendly and great service from beginning to end. read more

Wife and son love the hamburgers steaks are the most consistent thing you get a fine anywhere around.

Upon arriving we were seated immediately only to have a waitress who showed her face twice the whole hour and thirty minutes we were waiting for food. It wasn't the kitchen that was the issue, it was our server as other tables next to us were getting their meals fast. I had to go up to the hostess just to ask for silverware after timing 8 minutes passing after our salads arrived. Tara ( possible Tiara ) was our server and extremely MIA. Ended up paying $70 for dinner that was over cooked and cold with no help from the manager. The bread was perfect though read more

I realize that we are in a pandemic. However, this restaurant is not following the rules, but is using that as an excuse. Called ahead for a table for 4 adults and 3 children. Got to the restaurant and we were told to go in by an employee outside. When we got in, we were told it would be 10-20 minutes, go sit in the car. (The temps were in the 90s.) We called ahead. When we were seated 15 minutes later, we were seated right behind another couple. Then a couple was seated on our other side. Yet the rest of the restaurant had mostly empty tables. Why the wait? Where is the 6 foot social distance space? Food was good. Service was mediocre. read more

I absolutely love the chill ! I know something so easy to make ! It has to be bc of the beef they add to it ?! Hum .. it's one of my favorites read more

Texas Roadhouse - Fried Pickles & Cactus Blossom - Steakhouses Near Me - Covington, Louisiana

First time at this location and everything was great, even at 7pm. They had a good sized crowd but we were seated right away. Our waitress was there promptly for our drink orders. We had several beers each with our meal and never waited with an empty bottle on the table. The food was visually appealing, which to me is as important as taste. It was more then I could eat. If I'm back in the area this place will definitely be an option! read more

Here in Covington for a basketball tournament. My wife and I wanted poboys and gumbo but ended up going in Texas Roadhouse. Sad part we have a Texan roadhouse in our hometown but never been. The food and service heee was A+. My wife ordered the portobello mushroom chicken with broccoli and a loaded potato, I ordered the herb crusted chicken with corn and steak fries. Both dishes were flavorful and delicious. Only negative they loaded my wife margarita up with too much ice. Bobbie our server was excellent. She injured her back but still provided great service. read more

We were their today for my nephews birthday. It was 11 of us. We did need two tables so it took longer but everything took forever the bread, drinks, refills salads and food. I ordered a medium rare 8 ounce filet. It came out medium well. I get the new one pretty quick but it was a 8 ounce "rare" sirloin. It was mooing! I took it to go thank god it was so rare. I'm trying to eat this for dinner and took forever to cook! Not that good being a sirloin. I will never go to back again. The green beans and salad were good. They messed up two orders on the other table too. Unorganized read more

7:00 pm , 01/12/20 Ate Sirloin Steak that gave me stomach problems! Overall I like the food @OTHER Texas Roadhouse Restaurants and so I will just leave it at that for now! read more

Normally feel like I have a loser emblem on my forehead at most restaurants. Not here. From the moment we walked in we were treated like royalty. From the front staff to the waitress and the manager. We were seated quickly and drink orders arrived right away. The manager Joe came over and told us about restaurant menu and history and orders put in. Steak and sides were perfect. No seasoning or steak sauce needed. This steak was perfect. Service perfect. Thank you Joe for a memorable night. We live close by and moved recently from Florida. Our go to place now. read more

Should have walked out when the seating staff told a nice older lady in a wheelchair who was repeatedly passed up for a table and finally complained about a 45 minute wait "well they were in a booth and you need a table." Rudest thing I've seen in a restaurant in a long time. And I routinely eat out for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Waited forever to even get a drink order in and then sent my filet back twice. After the second steak I told them I'll head somewhere else. Management seems to not care at all as this is the third visit in a row to this Texas Roadhouse where I have sent back a filet twice and cancelled my order. No problems at Outback or Lonestar! read more

The boneless wings is my families favorite. And the blooming onion, cant go wrong there.

The food was good, large portions and the service was quick! We ordered the fried pickles with ranch to start off. If you haven't tried-um you have to get-um! Smoke house burger was huge along with fall off the bone ribs! read more

Texas Roadhouse - Smoke house burger - Steakhouses Near Me - Covington, Louisiana

Ordered an Abita draft after several minutes waitress comes back and says pump or whatever is not working on Abita been out for 2 weeks, so Coors light draft was fine. I'm thinking 2 weeks get it fixed... Then wife and I ordered a porterhouse steak with extra salad for we were going to split the steak (20 + ounces) and steak fries as a side that comes with the steak. Got the salads they are good. Then comes the steak and only steak nothing else. Waitress comes over I asked were are the fries? BAD service... I wanted to go to Abita Pub, but wife likes or did like Roadhouse. Well next time think we will be at the Pub. read more

I am not a fan of the state of Texas. Apparently, neither is Texas Roadhouse. Their corporate offices are based in Louisville, KY. Anyway, I am a fan of the restaurant. They start you off with all you care to eat peanuts and dinner rolls with a killer cinnamon butter. I have dined here about three times since their opening. Always great service. This place gets packed, especially on the weekends. If you go during their peak time, expect to wait up to one hour for seating. Well worth it though. On my last visit, I had the oven roasted chicken. It was fall off the bone tender and juicy. You get two sides with most entrees. I chose the mashed potatoes and green beans. Both were delicious. Another in my party ordered the chicken fried steak which was devoured is quick order. For an appetizer, I would suggest the Rattlesnake Bites and the Fried Pickles. They serve their version of the blooming onion, called the Cactus Blossom. Also a good choice. read more

This is me & my boyfriend's go to restaurant because we can never go wrong with it. The food is always good and full of flavor, cheap prices for the amount of food they give you, but the staff is iffy. Sometimes we have a good server and sometimes we don't but the food always makes up for it. read more

Management is not enforcing the mask mandate once patrons enter. Everyone going to the bathroom is walking through the restaurant maskless. Management was made aware but opted to not enforce. Keep this in mind... especially if you have an elderly relative that you would like to keep healthy read more

They take forever. Have been here for an hour and had other people get their food before us..we were the first people here. Waiter didn't even know we were here. Terrible. read more

I used to love the Roadhouse, but they have just become "ok". We had the ribs special last nite - dry, dry, dry. The poor waitress had to talk about 5 minutes about specials and GIFT CARDS - really? Why make diners have to be interrupted in their evening to listen to all the promotional items. This is why I generally stay away from chains because it's never about the food and diners enjoyment it's about their bottom line. The peanuts were good though! read more
