Okay. Man this seems to happen to us more than I would think is usual but it is what it is. We ordered ribeye and. Filet. Both med rare. The ribeye came out rare side of medium rare and the filet was rare, rare...like cool in the center. It took us a few minutes to find our server and after we told him a manager. Came out and apologized and asked how it needed to be done. He took the steak back to be cooked a bit more. During this time a very nice lady said was the manager and apologized profusely. She quizzed me on my steak (it was ok) and said they would bring my dining partners steak out in a few. Of course by now the turning of dinner was way off and the vibe was dead. We were about 38 minutes in by now. When his steak came back out it was still on the rare side but seemed edible. Two bites in, though, and they said, "It tastes boiled." I had a small bite and it was virtually tasteless and there was no sear on the filet at all. One more bite in and my dinnng partner gave up. It was just not going to work. The odd thing is they the manager predicted this exact scenario. She was very nice and she did take $15 off the bill. Service recovery was five star. Food was 2-star at best maybe less. I know mistakes happen and all that. This was just not a pleasant experience at all. read more

Came in this evening about 7pm to celebrate my bday with a nice steak. I've come here numerous times in the past and the food is always on point as well as the service. Tonight's experience was definitely worthy of praise. Kay was our server tonight and she was super polite, very helpful and patient as we had a little girl debating what she wanted. We ordered her Mac and cheese and a hot dog and were told it would be our first, for whatever reason it wasn't and we were ok with it....wasn't anything that bothered the evening at all as my daughter was watching videos on my phone to distract her. Kay apologized for her food not coming out and we said it was ok and after checking on us again to make sure we didn't need anything she mentioned her manager had taken it off the check which was way more than we had expected. Manager Carrie came by to speak to us and apologize for the late food and we talked about our daughters going back to school and her children's experiences in school, made us feel like more than "just a customer" the service and hospitality given to us tonight by both Kay and Carrie were on another level. Thank you both for making my bday dinner super pleasant and satisfying. read more

Food and service were great at a fair price. We would definitely return even tough it's a bit of a drive from my home.

This was our first visit to the restaurant and we were very happy with the experience. The staff is friendly and welcoming. The person who brought us to the table, our server, the food runners.. all exceptional. Brogan is easily one of the best servers we've had at any restaurant in a really long time and we would definitely request him in the future. Brogan was personable and engaging with our family. The food was piping hot and just what you'd expect for a steakhouse. It was our son's birthday and we were happy to witness the extra yee-haw ride.. definitely a bonus level of entertainment. read more

Our wait was only a few minutes which was awesome, considering all the people already in line. We had a very nice server, Yvette. She was very attentive on spot on with the spacing of our meal, salad first and then our meal. I ordered a 6oz. Filet rare, and it was superb. You really didn't need a knife to cut it. It very just the way I like it and very flavorful. My husband ordered 14oz. Riley, rare as well His was very flavorful and not too much stripping. Danny, one of tge managers stopped and chatted with us for a moment as well. Overall, A perfect dining experience. Plus our meal beat the Chart House out of the water. read more

Texas Roadhouse is a bit of a mixed bag for me. First off, they get 5 stars for customer service. The staff has always been friendly, welcoming, and attentive. You can tell they work hard and try to make the experience enjoyable. The downside -- and it's been consistent -- is the prime rib situation. The last four times I've gone, they've run out before 8pm. That's frustrating when that's specifically what you came for. It feels like something that should be planned better, especially during peak dinner hours. I've also had a few issues with to-go orders. There have been multiple times where items were missing -- extra sauces I requested weren't included, and once I ordered five entrées but only received four pieces of bread, so not everyone got one. Small details, but they add up. Overall, great service and solid food when everything is available, but the consistency (especially with prime rib and to-go accuracy) needs improvement. read more

Always slammed on a Friday night, so make sure you add yourself to the online wait list. The Snake Bites are the best app on the menu by far! Our server did his best, given a backed up kitchen and a giant party to serve in the same night. This is always our Christmas shopping dinner tradition, steak then stores! While the atmosphere was busy and buzzing, it was a great time! read more

I always order the 4 piece catfish dinner. Lately, they have been giving me 2 pieces split in half for the same price as four whole pieces of catfish. Guess it's time to start looking for a new place to get myself a fish dinner. read more

My husband received a gift card to Texas Roadhouse for his birthday. We have never been, so we thought why not try it out and celebrate his birthday. It was on a Sunday afternoon, so the lobby was pretty busy. Because it just us two, we only waited about 10min. We were taken to a comfy booth and explained how everything worked, the menu, and some recommendations. The fried pickle chips were one of our server's favorites and has now become one of ours! The portions were large and delicious. The ambiance was true to its name and a lot of fun. Our server, Ballerina, checked on us multiple times making sure everything was to our liking and then offering containers for our leftovers. We both agreed we had been missing out and hope to be back soon. A special thanks to Ballerina for her hospitality. read more

First time at this location and had a smooth time. Celebrated my partner's birthday with family and received the best service from Krista. I recommend putting your name down on the waitlist when you're on the way to get a head start. We did that and got seated as soon as we checked in at the restaurant, although many people waiting outside. We all ordered the steak and ribs with 2 sides. My medium steak was cooked nicely, the ribs were fall off the bone, the Caesar salad was nicely dressed, and the mashed potatoes had really tasty gravy. Can't forget about the soft bread and cinnamon butter. We all initially wanted a baked potato, but we were told they were not gonna be ready until the next hour. Krista offered to have some family to dress their mashed potatoes as baked potato which costs extra but looked nicely loaded. Glad I picked the gravy tho. Food came hot n fresh within maybe 15 min or so. Delish read more

Texas Roadhouse - Ribs, steaks, mashed potatoes and delicious bread - Steakhouses Near Me - El Cajon, California

Everything went well! Totally my new favorite restaurant. They cut the best meat. Every time we eat there or pick up our 20oz Bone in ribeye they are always grilled to perfection. My side of choice is always the baked sweet potato with brown sugar and butter. And some steamed veggies. Always totally perfectly cooked, baked, steamed. Don't even get me started on the bread and honey butter. The service is courteous and friendly. I love the buzz in there. The really impressive thing was 2 20oz ribeyes 4 sides and bread was only $83. and change. Going to just about any other fast food restaurant s we spend almost that much on any given day. So great food cooked to perfection, great prices, and great staff. Can't forget the total Buzz of the restaurant. Great atmosphere! read more

I really don't write reviews very often, but after my experience last week, I honestly had to leave one! Our server Sarah was hands down the best server I've ever had at any restaurant. From the moment we sat down, Sarah immediately made our whole table feel like regulars. She really knew the whole menu inside and out! (and also made the most spot on recommendations, p.s. the t bone was absolutely incredible, just like she promised), I'm always hesitant to eat out with my family since my son has food allergies, so at one point, our order got a little complicated, but Sarah handled it without missing a beat! Not a single thing came out wrong. She even remembered that I asked for extra sauce without me having to ask twice! We had never been to Texas Roadhouse before, but we are absolutely going to be regulars now thanks to Sarah! And of course, compliments to the chefs as well. read more

Bella our server was exceptional! She had a happy & spunky attitude during our meal and made sure we were doing well. She definitely made our meal so much better! The steaks were made perfectly medium rare. It's my first time selecting my own steak and I highly recommend that. My ribeye was juicy and tender. Highly recommend this location! read more

Amazing amazing amazing! Cooked perfectly! Wonderful atmosphere great price! Special shout out to our server Matt!! More than friendly. My son is a high school wrestler and does jui jitsu, made a special connection with Matt. He was truly a gem in this wonderful establishment. Highly would recommend this place and will definitely be going back. read more

Ordered the 16 oz prime rib medium rare and received a rare or almost raw cap on the prime rib. Sent it back for the correct temperature and they brought back the same steak and just ran it through. Au jus and threw it on their salamander to cook a little longer... The steak was and now very salty and still poorly cooked and not tender due to the high temperature of the salamander... I brought it to the managers attention and he brought me out another piece of prime rib that they put on the salamander again which made it over cooked and tough....I paid the bill and left the meal on the table. I will never return here again. read more

Party of three (myself, mom and sister) dined here 4/11/25. Thought since it was a Friday they'd be busy but surprisingly they weren't around the time we went. Food was ok, service could have been better, always room for improvement (our server never asked to refill our drinks or bring bread, we had to chase him down every time) and the bathroom was filthy (toilet paper all over the floor around the toilets and bathroom trash was overfilled, just disgusting). The bread and butter was my favorite. Our party ordered the salmon, catfish and ribs. read more

Everything. Our waitress was terrible and the ribeye steak had a lot of fillers. Not good and I won't go back.

Nick C. was an amazing server! He was so attentive and kind. Appetizers were delicious!

Date of visit 7/24/26. So it was very loud, couldn't hear a word the hostess was saying, could only follow her. Then she sits us at a table for 2 so crowded with stuff that you could barely sit. The server came and took our drink order. When he returned, we began to give him our order, starting with the appetizer. At this point he just turned and left before taking the rest of our order. He took orders from several other tables before returning to us. As we tried to place our order, he kept interrupting us to ask if we wanted additional items on our steaks. Wished he could have just paused for a breath. Anyway, our food finally arrived. Our baked potatoes were so cool that they wouldn't even melt the butter. My wife's steak was medium well instead of medium rare. Had to fight to get the shrimp off the skewers. Now I know that sirloin is not the most tenderest cut of meat but ours were way beyond that. Extremely hard to chew, ended up having to spit out the last bite. A person came by, I guess a manager, to ask how things were and we replied not so good and her response was for us to enjoy our meal! read more

I've been here a few times. Food is always great and staff is always really fast and polite. There can be a short wait but it's worth it.

I love Texas Roadhouse! Soo good every time. Great steak and not super expensive relatively-- if you compare it to other places here in San Diego. One thing I would recommend people to skip on is the mac and cheese. I've been here twice, the first time it was good, the second time it was pretty dry and just not great overall. Service is great. They check on you a lot. It's a corporate restaurant so it seems that because of that a manager has to come check on the table as well. Ambiance is family friendly. A lot going on. Wellll, I did go on a Sunday night lol. I also especially love that they bring you to the table with dinner rolls and finger-licking cinnamon butter. read more

Had dinner tonight at the El Cajon Texas Roadhouse. Upon ordering my meal I chose a Happy Hour 16 oz $5 beer. At the time of ordering I pointed to the item on the menu asking for a Coors Light. The beer and dinner arrived, all was great. At checkout I noticed the cost of the beer was $7.25. I questioned the waitress, she noted that Happy Hour price was for Michelob Ultra. The manager came and explained that the price was for Ultra only. After having a great meal this really was rather alarming. Very poor communication when ordering. Along with nothing said from the waitress about the beer, must be an Ultra. But to find the increase from $5 to $7.25 is nearly a 50% increase, WTF !! read more

Don't order to pick up. The girls inside the pick up area are totally rude. I've been going to this one for pick up over the past few years and they are always rude! It's like they put that on the ad for hiring people. Management: you need to monitor this. Maybe retrain these gals! read more
