Stopped at Texas Roadhouse in Marion for to/go dinner while traveling through southern Illinois. Their online ordering is useless without internet access while on the road. Their phone ordering system was terrible. My wife was placed on hold 3 times before finally getting a human to take our order. However- while picking up the order, our Jeep's starter went out. We had to have it towed to a repair shop at 7:00 on a Sunday night, and had to leave our travel trailer in the Roadhouse parking lot for 2 days while the shop worked on the Jeep. The staff and management at Texas Roadhouse were very understanding and accommodating ! Plus- The dinners we picked were delicious. I had a pork chop dinner and my wife had chicken with mushrooms. read more

My wife and I were passing through Marion and stopped at Texas Roadhouse. Big crowd on a Monday night and we enjoyed sirloins and salads. Food and service were good and prices were competitive. Chain steakhouses get a bad rep sometimes for the faux over-the-top western decor and the less than stellar menu options, but if one can get over the corny birthday celebrations by the line-dancing wait staff and the crowd noise in the dining room that's almost at the level of a rock concert, there are good things going on here. Namely, good food and service in a welcoming, family friendly atmosphere. read more

My wife got the grilled salmon and when she got it and she took one bite and all she said it doesn't taste right and the it's like they didn't cook it all that good the seasoning wasn't cooked all that will in the salmon all you taste was catfish not salmon read more

Great food as always. The drinks were tasty and we went during 1/2 price time. The steak was tender, the sides were delicious. The only thing that made me give this 4 stars instead of 5 is they didn't have tables available and 3 of us had to sit in a booth. I specifically asked if we could sit at a table and the hostess said that section is closed. How do you close a section with tables and force everyone into a booth? Our server was hilarious and the food was cooked to our specification. read more

Food was good, but not as good as the one in Foley,Al. It was so loud in there we couldn't talk to each other! I have been to 2 and this one was terrible! I won't be back! Foley Alabama has one and it is fantastic! Food was better, salad was big and crisp, potato has salt on the skin, steak also much better! The girl did not refill my drink and we had to ask twice for a spoon! Too many other places to spend my hard earned cash! read more

Rochelle served me at the bar and her service was exceptional. I also received great service from the other bar worker as well as 2 other workers. 5 stars for service!! The food is always always always great!! The chicken is juicy, even the country fried! No salt is ever needed. Always hot! Good drinks, good price! Always a line and a wait but that's why! read more

This was our first visit to the Marion location. I will be honest, it's not my vibe. Loud music, wait staff line dancing in the middle of the aisle while you eat, long wait times, everyone yelling, especially when you are seated right next to the kitchen. They would yell "Coming in" very loudly every time someone walked by our table so they don't collide at the entrance of the kitchen. But, we had a gift card to use, so finally decided to fight the crowd and give it a try as to not waste the $50... Checked in online before leaving the house. The guesstimated wait time was very close to when we received a text to head inside. Once we checked in, we were seated within a few minutes. It was a busy Friday night, but the rolls were burnt to a crisp and cold. The waitress brought a second basket out that was also cold, but not burnt, at least... We ordered the tater skins as an appetizer and they were out of them. We then ordered cheese fries. They came with ranch and were served hot. That was the best part of the meal. I had an 8 ounce sirloin (medium), with side salad and green beans. The steak was medium rare, and cold when it arrived to the table. It had been sitting for a bit for sure. I kept it, because I felt so bad for the waitress. She was doing her best and it wasn't her fault at all. The side salad bowl was only half full. The green beans were very strong with a smoky flavor, but I liked them. My husband had a 12 ounce ribeye (medium) with side salad and baked potato. It was overcooked to medium well, and also cold and had been sitting for a bit before it was brought out. After waiting nearly 45 minutes for it, he decided to keep it as well. His salad was also tiny, but his baked potato was good. Overall, not impressed at all and so our first visit will also be our last. The Paducah location has always been great for really good service and food, so we would most likely make the 45 minute drive to that location if we had another gift card to spend. read more

Ambience is pretty upbeat. Servers are nice, friendly, and attentive. The food is takes a while a lacks seasoning/ taste, though.

Ashley at Marion Texas Roadhouse is an awesome waitress! We eat there often and she is one of the best we've had! Keep up the good work. It is noticed and appreciated! read more

I don't understand the low overall star rating. We've eaten here 4 or 5 times and it's always been excellent (and crowded). Steaks done to the right temperature every time and seasoned well. I love the Texas chili got a bowl last time. I'm also a fan of the seasoned rice and have been getting it now as my second side. Our service has always been fast and friendly. Lots of choices at this exit, but this is top of our list. read more

My daughter and son-in-law took me here for the first time. The service is awesome. The people are very friendly. The food is fast. The rolls are to die for. I enjoyed the food very much here and they are very busy all the time so there's always a wait, which is to be expected in a restaurant that has excellent food. I will go here. Every chance I get my recommendation is if you haven't been to one, you should try it, it's very good read more

We stopped in Marion for the night and our hotel had a gift card for the Texas Roadhouse. We don't like chain restaurants, but we decided to give it a try. We made a good decision. The place was crowded and noisy but after experiencing the food and service, I can live with that. My sirloin steak was done to perfection and the two sides of a sweet potato and small Ceasar salad were great. My wife had a large Ceasar and of course it was also great. The price was extremely reasonable. We will go to other Texas Roadhouses. read more

Service great Food was good Price was a little high All round good experience. My daughter birthday read more

Family get together for a birthday. It was really crowded. Had an hour and 15 wait at 4:00 pm. Food took longer than usual to arrive. I had shrimp skewers with rice. Very tasty but a little over salted. It was way too loud!! Music blaring loud. Could barely talk. The staff was dancing every 10 minutes. Which I know that's what they're known for. Will be awhile before we go back. Maybe not on a Saturday night read more

Absolutely never had any issues! They are always kind and courteous! Food was excellent! The atmosphere was energetic! read more

First time to eat here. Was told by hostess there was no wait but I waited 10 minutes. When I asked why I was waiting, I was told they had to clean tables which wasn't so. The food was ok except for the steak which was way too salty. Nothing impressed me enough to want to go back. read more

2 stars if for the service! Our server was no where to be found waited for drinks, salad came out way before the appetizer we ordered when she final took our drink order. Had to ask over and over for things, it like she forgot us. Steaks were cooked to perfection! Brought out by a different server. read more

Food was good but service was slow, we sat at the bar and she asked for some help getting rolls from the numerous kids standing around and the all just ignored her. read more

It's loud, over priced, and the food is mediocre. Don't get the beef tips - tough and full of gristle.

I am a big Texas Roadhouse fan and it's always delish, no matter the location. Love their attention to customer service as well and the ambiance is always like a good ol country welcome home. read more

Good food and consistent with other Texas Roadhouses. Those complaining about the long waits need to take advantage of the online checkin through the app. read more

Went for dinner on Friday night and was put on a hour wait list ok hey it's Friday and they get busy finally go to bed seated and the brought the rolls that looked horrible about 15 mins later the brought us plates to eat rolls with and said someone would be back to take drink orders about 20 mins later server came and said there was a issue I. Kitchen and will be back in a few to take order and we yet to order drinks about 20 more mins go buy and then server comes and says there not serving anyone else tonight due to a issue in kitchen and we had to leave. So after 2 hours we had to find somewhere else to go no apologies nothing at all just leave will never go back to that location read more

We stopped there for lunch and the place was full. We found seats and ordered the 6 oz steak with sides. We had a good meal with good service. read more

Went here for a family dinner. First of all, if the music is so loud that I have to shout my order to my server and she *still* can't hear me, it's too loud. But I get that's part of the "everything is bigger, even the music!" ambiance so I'm not going to get too worked up over it. What I *am* upset about is that my mom and I both ordered the steak kebabs medium rare, and what we were both served can only be described as the fat and gristle parts trimmed off of better filets. Also, they were slathered in steak sauce, which was...not good. Both of our kebabs were utterly inedible. Further, my nephew and his girlfriend's baked sweet potatoes were hard as a rock. I understand the food service industry is hurting right now. The manager did comp a portion of the meal but from the sounds of the other reviews they have to do this a lot. I wish them luck, but we won't be returning. read more

My husband and I went for our anniversary and his filet steak was cooked perfectly the first time, however when he asked for Worcestershire sauce the server that brought our food gave him soy sauce. Needless to say before my husband realized it the steak was covered in it and inedible. Our server requested a 2nd steak, after waiting 20 minutes it finally arrived but it was charred and way over cooked. She asked us if we wanted another steak but we couldn't wait yet another 20 minutes for the steak to come out. Disappointed read more

I ordered a 16 oz of prime rib. They brought me out a piece of meat that was verily. A quarter inch, thick and 9 oz. At least was nothing but pure white fat. Show the manager. She did absolutely nothing about it except make excuses. I will not be going back. read more

Was reserved for a group of 7 with baby. The initial wait was 1 hour and 15 minutes which was no problem. This is where the nightmare began. The reservation was listed in their computer as 6 adults and we were seated at a table for 6 adults. Although there were 7 of us. So they moved us to another table. This table was the same size. So they moved us to a table with an extension. Problem solved right. WRONG. One of the staff comes over as we are eating our rolls and tells us that this table isn't ours we need to get up and will be placed at the bottom of the waiting list. A person in my party asked for the corporate phone number and a staff member gave it to her. She immediately called it to find out that the number provided was incorrect. This is when the staff response was you have the internet find it yourself. I will not do this again. read more

Love love this place ! Food is great , servers are friendly and helpful . The wait goes by pretty quickly . I'd say one of the best places in the area read more

One thing you have to know about TR, is that they are ALWAYS busy! So keep that in mind when you go. You will likely wait for a table so be prepared that this will not be a super quick stop. But it is always worth it! My husband and I sat at the bar, so we were able to get in more quickly than those waiting for a table. The young lady working the bar was wonderful! She was pleasant, smiling, interacting with all her customers. The food was great as always. We started with the Cactus Blossom (yum!) and we each had a Smokehouse Burger with steak fries. The burgers were done to perfection. I prefer my fries a little more done than most, but that's my preference so certainly nothing to complain about. We will definitely be back! read more

I absolutely love the food here! It's always a bit crowded... but that's what I wanted to see. If there is a line to always be there then that means there is good food. The waiters/waitresses were wonderful and knew what to suggest to drink with the food we ordered. I will go back every time I'm in the mood for a great steak meal! read more

Waited 1 hour and 45 minutes to get a table, then another 45 minutes to get our food. We had to flag down a busboy to get silverware. The napkins the silverware was wrapped up in were wet. I ordered my chopped steak medium well, and it came out medium at best. When they brought it back it was burnt to a crisp. Mushrooms were unrecognizable. They forget the veggie for my husbands meal and the ranch for my son's chicken. Horrible experience read more

Service was great. We were greeted promptly and by several different staff. Ambiance is typical and good. Hubby ordered beef tips, mashed potatoes and Caesar salad. I got house salad, NY strip, and baked potato. Our consensus was that one should never order beef tips. They are always from the worst cut of meat and tough as an old boot. My steak was juicy and tender. The salads were good. BUT, and it is a BIG BUTT, the cook went crazy with salt! The steak was too salty, the beef tips and gravy were too salty and the potatoes and gravy were TOO SALTY. And since between us, we have 14 decades plus of experience eating, this review might be put into perspective by stating neither of us have ever in our lives complained about salt in a restaurant meal. So, bottom line, if we go back, we won't be ordering anything made en mass like mashed potatoes and we will be asking for low salt on steaks and baked potatoes. read more
