Texas Roadhouse Early Dine Hours: The Complete Schedule

Texas Roadhouse Early Dine Hours: The Complete Schedule

Early Dine is the weekday discount that pays attention rewards: Monday through Thursday from opening until 6 PM at most Texas Roadhouse locations, a set list of full entrées drops to roughly $10.99 to $12.99 with two sides included. This guide nails down the hours question completely, including the store-to-store variations and the Friday exception.

The Standard Schedule

The national pattern: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, from the moment the store opens until 6:00 PM local time. The cutoff applies to ordering, not eating; a 5:55 seating that orders promptly rides the discount through dinner.

Opening times vary more than closing cutoffs: stores open anywhere from 11 AM to 4 PM on weekdays, which makes the Early Dine window anywhere from two to seven hours long. An 11 AM-opening store effectively serves a discounted lunch all afternoon; check yours on the store locator.

The Friday Exception and Other Variations

A minority of locations, particularly in competitive suburban markets, extend Early Dine to Friday. Some franchise stores also adjust the cutoff to 5:30 or extend to 6:30. The menu card at the table or a thirty-second call settles your store's exact configuration.

Weekends never participate: Saturday and Sunday run the full menu at standard prices from the 11 AM lunch open. The weekend value play shifts to Family Packs and the lunch-friendly orders instead.

What the Discount Covers

The Early Dine list runs about a dozen entrées: the 6 oz sirloin, Chicken Critters, Country Fried Sirloin and Chicken, Pulled Pork, Grilled Pork Chop, Grilled BBQ Chicken, Beef Tips and select burgers, each with two made-from-scratch sides. The full lineup with regular prices sits on our Early Dine menu page.

The fine print worth knowing: dine-in only at most stores, no stacking with other offers, and the famous rolls remain free because the rolls are always free. Pair it with weekday happy hour drinks, typically 3 to 6 PM where offered, and the whole table eats and drinks discounted.
