This was our first time at the National City location and we absolutely loved it. This lively chain steakhouse serves up some delicious American fare with a Southwestern spin amid a Texas-themed decor! The ambiance is lively and the staff are friendly, attentive, and very welcoming! Mizael was great! I mean what's not to love about their perfectly cooked steaks, fall-off-the-bone ribs and their famous fresh-baked rolls with cinnamon butter- chefs kiss! Everything was amazing from parking, wait time, service, food, and atmosphere! I will say, this location seemed less busy than El Cajon (it was crowded, but no wait time). We were seated right away. Of course I ordered the 20 oz. Ribeye with loaded mash- the steak was seasoned well, cooked medium rare, with those nice char-grilled ribbons on the exterior! My daughter also ordered the 20 oz. Ribeye with a baked potato- perfectly seared with great caramelization on the outside. My son got his usual- chicken tenders! My daughter ordered a bacon cheeseburger with fries. And my wife ordered a 6 oz. Sirloin- well, well done! I'm literally crying!!! I can't!!! Overall, we had an incredible time and wonderful dining experience! We will definitely be back next month for our steak fix! Cheers! read more

What a great experience!!! I was craving some good steak so we decided to visit Texas road house. I am a big fan of their house salad, this time it tasted better than ever! I ended up ordering their Dallas steak at a medium temp, wowza! Delicious! Our server was very attentive and friendly! I loved that they played so much Taylor swift music!!! I will definitely be back for more rolls! read more

Visited Texas Roadhouse 7/14 in celebration of my mother-in-law's birthday. This experience was really different than previous experiences...... What we ordered: * Combo appetizer * Sirloin Steak 12 oz * 4 pc Catfish * 12 oz Strip * Strawberry Cheesecake Alyssa was our server. We shared with her that we were celebrating my mother-in-law's birthday. She even wished her a happy birthday. Aside from our ordered items listed, I had also requested a side order of grilled bread (like how they serve with their shrimp). I've ordered it before..... When our food was delivered I reminded our waitress about the order of my grilled bread. She left as though to go get it. She then came back saying that they don't do that..... What!? I've ordered it before. Did our waitress forget to put the order in and just didn't want to deal with it? I said it was fine & continued with dinnner. When we were wrapping up dinner I had asked our waitress about the birthday treat options provided. I was then told that they no longer offer that. I then advised the waitress that I would just go ahead and order a dessert for the birthday celebration. The dessert came. No candle or HBD acknowledgment.... We were a little shocked since we had seen a group of employees singing HBD to someone else earlier. Not sure if our waitress was having an off day.... But it felt like we were pulling teeth to try and make this dinner memorable for a birthday celebration. We asked our waitress what had happened to the saddle and HBD celebration? She then said she could bring the saddle if we really wanted her to..... REALLY!? She was almost bothered by the request. Eventually my mother-in-law was able to sit on the saddle and a group of employees came to sing to her. That's all she really wanted..... Really sad that it seemed like it was such a bother to do that for her. read more

I stopped by on a Tuesday night to grab a quick bite to eat around 9 PM. I was seated in the bar area and my service was great. I wish I remembered the server name. The food was tasty. I started with the House salad with thousand island and for dinner. I had the New York strip with a sweet potato and veggies. read more

* Friendly customer service * Casual, family-friendly atmosphere * Plenty of convenient parking We came out for dinner because we had some gift cards for this spot. We arrived around 3:30 PM and had no wait at all! If you're planning to come later in the evening, I definitely recommend joining the waitlist online beforehand it's super easy and saves time. If you're in the mood for a good steak and a tasty baked potato, definitely check out Texas Roadhouse. The appetizers are huge portions! We tried the new spicy onion appetizer and loved the spicy kick, although it was just a tad salty for our taste. The customer service was excellent. Dee was amazing, friendly, and truly went above and beyond to make our visit enjoyable. The portions here are a little big for me, so my husband and I usually share. We typically order an appetizer and split an entrée, and it always works out perfectly. If you're looking for a casual spot with good food, generous portions, and great service, this is definitely worth a visit! read more

Service was super fast and friendly! Would definitely come back when craving some meat. I haven't been to a Texas Roadhouse in many, many years and this visit did not disappoint. We started with the Rattlesnake Bites and they were not worth it. They were nice and crispy and the flavor was good (jalapenos and cheese), but they were WAY too salty. To the point I couldn't finish them and I pretty much never leave unfinished food! But the rest of the meal was on point! The rolls were delicious and warm. Also had a small caesar, the porterhouse with mushrooms and the fries. The steak was cooked perfectly and was seasoned well. I LOVE a thick fry and these were crispy and nicely seasoned. The mushrooms were a little bland, but nothing a little salt didn't help. Portions were huge and compared to a majority of steak places, very good value! read more

Everything was sweet except the "sweet tea"! The food was good and huge portions but everything had an oddly sweet flavor for Texas BBq. My prime rib tasted like it had a sweet rub encrusted on the outside. It was a very loud and interactive experience so if you are looking for a quiet conversation or even hearing any other conversations at the table I wouldn't count on it. This was my husband's first time and we had a pretty positive experience. The server was amazing despite how busy this place was! The rolls are pretty freakin amazing! The onion was good but the sauce I wasn't a fan of. The sweet potato was delicious. I definitely want to take hubby to the one in Texas for a true legit experience. read more

If you've been to Texas Roadhouse before, then you know what to expect. It's a lively atmosphere, some good free rolls and sweet butter, and a tasty steak. This last visit I came to this location by myself and asked for a table because I'm not a big fan of eating at the bar. They obliged, even during a busy dinner time. The waitress was very friendly and super patient. I didn't feel like I was being rushed along like I do at some places when I'm eating alone. The food was warm. The steak was cooked correctly. And the the service was fantastic! I highly recommend this location! read more

This chain is my favorite! Streaks taste great!! They are the delightful blend of tender and over the top tasty, if only I could get my grill to be as seasoned! Staff is friendly and available. Only complaint is that there's always a wait for a table, even at 5p! Not too loud, even when busy. read more

We come to Texas Roadhouse quite often, and it's because the service is amazing! The value versus the quality of the food is unmatched. From the endless bread to the steak that hits your table, you know they're going to hook you up for your dollar. You know it's going to be completely Texas themed inside, it's in the name!' I recommend joining the waitlist online! It really kills the time for you! read more

Amazing food and easy check in! Joined the waitlist about an hour before I planned to arrive because the wait time was 55 mins and only waited about 5 minutes after I checked in. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Food was amazing and steak was cooked to the right temperature I had asked for! read more

Seeing all the hype around the city, we finally got the chance to try this place! It's still very popular, with a daily waitlist. Since we didn't have a reservation, we waited about 40 minutes, it well worth it. The moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt like a ranch-style sports bar, which we really enjoyed. We ordered the T-bone, New York strip, and filet mignon, each served with two sides of our choice. Everything was incredibly tasty. The steaks were tender and literally melted in our mouths. Even the bread and butter stood out, so so good. Service was excellent as well. Unfortunately, we didn't catch our server's name, but she was blonde and very attentive also so sweet! She truly helped make our experience even better. Overall, a great dining experience and definitely worth the wait. VERDICT: I WILL COMEBACK read more

Came here New Year's Eve, with my boyfriend ( it was his first time to txrh ) and we had a couple margaritas, appetizer, and our meals. We got sat within 5 mins, on a clearly very busy night. The rolls were FRESH out of that oven, we had chicken, filets, and shrimp- everything was delicious. My boyfriend said it was the best filet he's had. My boyfriend and I are both servers, at very busy places and have been for years. With that being said I'd like to shoutout our server: Andre was our server and he was on time with everything, refills, check in on food, was polite and hit all key points, he did a great job upselling to. He introduced us to the breaker (Miguel) too, and the transition was smooth! Great job management and wait staff! Everyone was absolutely polite and pleasant!!!! Thank you!!! read more

Texas Roadhouse - Staff at the entrance - Steakhouses Near Me - National City, California

TO GO FOOD Great food, instructions for picking up to go could've been clearer. Had an amazing to-go dinner from Texas roadhouse. I was very pleasantly surprised at the excellent freshness and quality of the food. I ordered the 20 ounce bone in ribeye medium rare, with a Caesar salad salad and a fully loaded potato. The dinner came with two delicious fresh baked rolls with cinnamon butter. It also came with a complementary bag of peanuts.. The meat was tasty and soft. Potato fluffy, salad crispy. All around a happy camper with the food. The only snafu was when you ordered the food you get a text when your food is ready and the text says to wait in your car. I thought somebody was gonna come out and bring me my order. It said to wait in the to area and you have to text them that you're there. then I got another text that said to go to the pick up area again. I thought they were gonna bring me the food, in actuality you have to go up to the pick up window and pick up and pay for your food. Anyways I would definitely order food from them again. I think the quality is even better than the other chain steakhouse in Chula Vista starts with a B and ends with an S. Try them out you'll be happy that you did. read more

I get this is a popular restaurant but it doesn't mean you let service go to the wayside. Their website make you aware they do not take reservations but have a waitlist. When I was ready to activate the waitlist it would not take a reservation over 6 and they advise you to call and make a reservation? I was checking in at 5pm to be put on a waitlist hoping for a 6:30pm seating. When I called they said my reservation for 9 people would be at 9:00pm. I said it was too late so they said they would split my reservation in two with no guarantees that the two tables would be close. We were celebrating a milestone birthday, had a cake and it was too late to try to make changes as attendees were driving in from East, North San Diego. Checking in we asked the host if she could try to seat us together and she said no??? No flexibility at all. But in the end they sat us kind of close to one another. Our server was nice and when we saw the table adjacent to our party of six we asked if the 3 of use could move to it. We have not ordered yet. Our server said he would check for us and came back to say his manager said she couldn't work it out??? It was the same size table and they were next to each other. So when it came time to sing happy birthday we left our table and stood around the birthday celebrants table. read more

Not very happy with my first time here. Service was terrible. Wanted to check this place out cause I've never been and everyone seems to hype up their bread rolls. So my husband and I were waiting quite a while and were not even served water or drinks. There were many workers who passed us by who didn't bother to ask if we needed anything or if we've been helped. So I had to find someone to have someone serve us. Like why do I have to flag someone down? It was then when we were informed that the hostess that sat us, sat us in a section of the restaurant where the server was on their break. They sectioned off our area to not serve anyone, so why seat us there in the first place? Food was ok. I ordered ribeye but it was on the chewy side. Bread rolls were soft and fluffy. Probably first and last time going here. read more

Once you've had Phil's... ribs anywhere else will be ruined for you. That's exactly what happened here. Texas Roadhouse has a lot more to offer than ribs giving a slight edge to Phil's. Promise I won't mention that other place again in this review ;) Went on a Friday night around 5ish and was definitely packed. We waited for about 20 min before our party of 5 was called up. Love that they get the bread before calling you so that the bread is fresh on your table. Yes, the house rolls are as good as everyone says. The butter with it makes it worth the carbs too! Yummy! Our table shared the 3 item app combo with wings, potato skins & fried pickles [$14.99] We liked everything on that plate. The batter for the fried pickles was really light & good. We ordered the full slab of ribs [$26.99] that came w/about 8 really, really thick bones. We had to ask for more sauce cause the sauce was lacking. While the ribs was thick & fall off the bone, it was dry. It was overcooked as I can imagine it's hard to keep such thick ribs moist. If they got that part right there would be no complaints here. The dish came with 2 sides which were all basic. We opted for buttered corn & steak fries. Got a taste of the rice & that I would say was the tastiest side of the night. Their mac & cheese didn't really have any flavor which was a bummer since it's an extra charge. Our waitress was awesome. She was one of the nicest waitress we've encountered. So shout out to her! They have a little line dance moment when a certain song comes on so that was cute. Ambience was chill & fun! Most likely will be back to taste their steaks and of course to get that killer bread/butter combo. read more

Great prices for what you get and plenty of parking. It can take a while to get a table so try to reserve a spot online to save some time and go by home coffee for a treat while you wait. Sometimes the food can be a bit salty and hot and miss on taste, but still worth it. Also can be on the louder side so be ready for that. If you get to sit more towards the middle the staff does a little dance about every hour or so and every 30 minutes you can expect the team to sing their version of happy birthday. read more

Great service and an excellent meal! They deserve a much better score. We had delicious rolls, fluffy baked potatoes and some of the best prime rib I've tasted in ages. My only suggestion to them would be to wait to add their croutons until the very end to avoid them getting soggy. All the staff were friendly and efficient. We'll be back! The ambience is lively, but not raucous on a Sunday noon. No wait either. read more

Why ponder over who's best! Take out the guesswork and go to Texas Roadhouse! if you want a great Sirloin Steak and Pork Ribs combo, with 2 sides (Cheesy Macaroni and Seasoned Green Beans), plus 2-Baked Buns! This is IT! But don't forget to ask for the bbq sauce and butter, and the peanuts are a bonus! The food was great, reasonably priced and cooked to perfection. I don't lower my expectations, I raise the BAR! "TR" HIT all the boxes. Customer Service, presentation, timely, quality, and most important TASTE! 5 read more

I don't even know where to begin. The waiters at this Texas Roadhouse location are so damn fine!!! I don't remember his name, but I know it started with an A, and ended with an E. He has a fat ass, and is the finest waiter I've ever seen! It looked like he was glowing! That guy with the tattoo behind his right ear, is stunning! I heard him barking because it was someone's birthday, and I nearly collapsed. The host with the mustache is so handsome, he should be a waiter. And Jaden. That man is one of the greatest looking men I've ever seen in person! On my way out, he said, "Have a good day!". I almost died! I know that's his job, but damn, he did it well! Every man working there is fine as hell! I couldn't catch all of their names but I figured it was worth to mention. The people I mentioned were the names/looks I noticed. I don't know where they were found. It was really hard to stay dry. I'm glad to have had those men as entertainment while eating because without them, I would've been bored out of my mind! I really hope those employees see this review. They deserve to know how fine they are, they were like a magnet for my eyes. I wish it was their meat in my mouth instead of the steak that I ordered. The steak I ate was good too,I guess. read more

Texas Roadhouse - My reaction when seeing them. - Steakhouses Near Me - National City, California

My husband and I went to Texas Roadhouse for lunch today. We got there just after 11:00 so we were seated quickly. We loved that it was less crowded and definitely less noisy than our first visit a couple months ago. The food is great (I'm sorry I forgot to take pictures) and portions are generous so I have enough left for lunch tomorrow. Our server, Jada, was excellent. She greeted us quickly, she was friendly, she repeated our order back to ensure she'd gotten it correctly (she had) and overall, she was a sweetheart. I'm already looking forward to our next visit. Thank you, Texas Roadhouse! read more

My husband and I love Texas Roadhouse so much his mom always sends a gift card for Christmas! We usually go to the location in El Cajon, but my husband really wanted to check out the National City restaurant. We set our reservation online and waited the time it said, when we were driving to the restaurant it cancelled our wait time which was weird so I went back again and set up another request to join the wait. We parked and responded to the text from TRH that our party was ready and it added us to the queue, my husband went to talk to the host and let them know we were removed previously and as they were talking it again removed us from the wait. The host was gracious and added us manually and we were able to get sat at the original estimated time. Really nice of them, I know technical errors happen so we were grateful considering people were trying to walk in but their wait time was 1.5-2 hours. The layout for this location seemed pretty spacious, I even saw a table that could easily fit a group of 10. Our server was Alexa, she was so nice and since we are die hards we already knew what to order as soon as we sat down. For starters we ordered the combo apps just as their shown and I ordered the bone in ribeye and Bryan ordered the country fried sirloin. The food was really good, usually I mention that the apps are a little too salty but they actually came out perfect. I paired my ribeye with their rice and house salad and the house salad came in a huge bowl. I was stuffed just from the salad and apps so when I cut into my steak I saw that it was perfectly cooked. I usually get this steak because I share it with our pup at home. Bryan's sirloin was huge, I have never seen it that big before and he was so happy and it was perfectly cooked. We had a really good time at the National City location, everyone is so nice and they line danced for a good long song and everyone seemed so happy. Definitely going to make this our location from now on. read more

The hostess was courteous and accommodating. The decor was cute and fitting. While waiting to be seated you could see how others were enjoying the atmosphere. Our server Adam was excellent. He was attentive and checked on us several times even though the place was packed. The food was delicious. The only improvement could have been that the sweet potato was overcooked. The bread is so good! read more

First and foremost Rigo you the man excellent service . Right from the start. The food was amazing as always. You never have to ever bring A1 Sauce as that insults me and the one who prepared that steak. As if everything is done right no sauce is required. Are order and delivery of everything was faster than a NASCAR pit crew. We got the potato skins to start. The bread is on point as always. My wife and I shared the Ribeye and grilled shrimp combo. With our sides being the best salad I ever had with fresh veggies steamed to perfection. My son also got the Ribeye and Shrimp combo with also a salad and fully loaded Sweet potato which is the way. Rigo was attentive and our drinks were never empty. The Vibe is the real reason to make a stop through this fine establishment. Perfect place to celebrate any occasion. The one downside my wife tried to use the kiosk at the table. It for some reason didn't take the birthday reward and one of the gift cards. So I think it's better to pay the server directly. All in all this was the best can't wait to come back again. read more

Nothing too special about this place. Nothing mediocre about this place. Just sorta below average. Came / was dragged here for a bday celebration. The ambiance was the best part. It was full of energy and I will give them this. The energy is 4 star. It feels like its 8 places in one. A little divy. A little ranchero. A little country. A little odd. A little urban. Staff line dance during some songs as a form of entertainment. If its your bday they'll give you a fake horse to ride as they sing you a song and ask everyone in the area to cheer you on. Service is pretty standard. Because it's so crowded you wont be bff with them as they are bopping around. But they do a good job making sure you have everything you need from the beginning because who knows when you'll see them again. The food is not that good. There were 6 in our group and each one ordered something different. From steaks which was seasoned well but came to us cold. Loaded baked potatoes were decent (Most if not all the entrees comes with two sides). The chicken were a bit dry. It didn't really smack. But it was a lot of food so it did fill me up. We got there around 6pm and it was just in the knick of time because our wait was 10 minutes. Around 630pm it blew up and everyone arrived. read more

Of course every Texas Roadhouse is popping, including this location. Even made it on the waitlist and had to wait about 10 mins. Hubby ordered the cheeseburger and I got the ribs. Cheeseburger was good! Ribs were dry and didn't have enough sauce on it. Got the cheese fries as an appetizer. Super filling! The complimentary bread though is so addicting. Of course we had to go home with a couple of bags of peanuts! Our server was so nice and attentive! The manager came by to see if everything was okay. read more

First, they say you have 15 minutes when called but when you don't get there right away, they add you to another list for more waiting. The food was good. The bread is probably the best thing. I ordered sirloin and ribs with mash and the ribs were definitely the best part. My steak was not medium, which was disappointing. Now let's talk about the Mac n cheese. Probably the worst I've ever had, any where. It as basically dry pasta with the lightest of sauce. The pasta was stuck together and had no flavor. My husband ordered the steak and shrimp. The shrimp were lackluster, over seasoned and soggy. Service is good considering there's so many large parties. read more

Who doesn't love Texas Roadhouse? My family and I were hyped once we knew this National City location was opening. Yes the wait is an average of 3 hours but if you sign up for a table on their app you can show up to Texas Roadhouse once you get the warning that you're up next. All of the food was good especially the BBQ ribs. The margaritas were decent definitely watered down so I won't give them 5 stars. Of course the food was good some of it a tad salty but still delicious. The best is their honey cinnamon whipped butter for the freshly baked biscuits!!!!

Texas Roadhouse is a family restaurant where the vibe is fun, joyful, and positive. It's not gourmet or trendy food but it hits the spot when looking for a casual sit down steakhouse. The menu includes typical bbq entrees including chicken, ribs, steaks, burgers, and salads. Most entrees come with 2 sides. The food was fresh, tasty, and decent portioned. Not the best steak and chicken but edible. Upon being seated, you are gifted complimentary dinner rolls which were heavenly. Perfectly hot, fluffy, and buttery with a side of apple honey butter. They were addicting. During your meal, you'll catch a glimpse of the waiters square dancing to country songs and the crew singing a birthday song while a birthday person rides a portable saddle. It was fairly loud inside so note it can be difficult to hear conversations inside. They do not take reservations but you can put your name on the online waitlist which gives you a time frame of when to arrive. From the host to our waiter, everyone was so friendly and happy to serve us. Really set the mood for a good time! All in all, I'd return for another meal! read more
