Texas Roadhouse Specials: Every Deal, Every Day
8Standing Deals
Mon–ThuDiscount Days
$34.99+Family Packs
Texas Roadhouse keeps prices low year-round instead of running coupon cycles, so the specials at Texas Roadhouse are structural: show up at the right time, order the right way, and the discount is already built in. This page maps all of it for September 2026: the Early Dine weekday menu, lunch and dinner timing, drink specials, birthday freebies and the day-by-day rhythm of the deals.
The short version: weekdays before 6 PM are the cheapest hours in the building, Family Packs are the cheapest way to feed a group any day, and the VIP Club is a free appetizer waiting for an email address. Every deal, every day and every dollar figure is tabled below.
Texas Roadhouse Specials Today: What Is Actually Running
Texas Roadhouse does not run TV-coupon promotions, so "specials today" depends on the day of the week and the clock, not a flyer. The standing deals: Early Dine weekday discounts until 6 PM, happy hour drink pricing on weekday afternoons at participating bars, the free appetizer for joining the VIP Club, and Family Packs that feed 4 to 5 people from $34.99 every single day.
A Tuesday at 5 PM is peak savings: an Early Dine sirloin around $11, a discounted Legendary Margarita next to it, free rolls on the table. A Saturday at 7 PM runs full price, and the food is worth that too. The tables below map every deal and every day so you can time it.

Specials by Day: The Full Breakdown
Texas Roadhouse Monday Specials
Monday is the soft opening of the savings week: Early Dine runs from opening until 6 PM, happy hour drink pricing covers the afternoon at participating bars, and dining rooms are at their emptiest. An Early Dine sirloin near $11 with no wait is the definitive Monday special.
Texas Roadhouse Tuesday Specials
Tuesday keeps Early Dine until 6 PM and adds the most common kids-eat-free night at stores that run one, making it the cheapest family night of the week where offered. A family of four ordering Early Dine plus free kids meals can eat for under $30. Call your store to confirm its kids night.
Texas Roadhouse Wednesday Specials
Wednesday specials mirror Monday: Early Dine until 6 PM and afternoon drink pricing, with the quietest dining room of the week. It is the regulars’ pick for a no-wait ribeye night at full attention from the kitchen.
Texas Roadhouse Thursday Specials
Thursday is the last guaranteed Early Dine day chain-wide, so it carries end-of-week discount traffic. Order before 6 PM and the weekday pricing still applies; after 6, Thursday runs like a weekend night with full prices and building waits.
Texas Roadhouse Friday Specials
Friday specials depend on your store: a minority extend Early Dine into Friday afternoon, and happy hour typically still runs 3 to 6 PM. After 5:30 the waitlist grows fast, so join it through the app before leaving home. No food discounts run Friday night anywhere.
Texas Roadhouse Saturday Specials
Saturday has no discount menu, and it does not need one: lunch opens at 11 AM at nearly every store, and the lunch menu lane of burgers from $12.49 with steak fries is the value play. Arrive before noon or after 8 PM to dodge the peak wait.
Texas Roadhouse Sunday Specials
Sunday is Family Pack day: family meals from $34.99 feed 4 to 5 for the price of two dine-in steaks, which is why To-Go counters run busiest on Sunday evenings. Lunch from 11 AM covers the dine-in side at regular prices.

Drink Specials and Happy Hour
Drink specials are real but local: participating bars discount domestic drafts, house Legendary Margaritas and select mixed drinks on weekday afternoons, typically 3 to 6 PM. State law decides where this runs, so the happy hour page and a call to your store settle it. Everyday drink pricing stays friendly regardless: $1.99 fountain drinks and teas with free refills off the drink menu.
Birthday Specials
Two birthday specials run year-round. VIP Club members get an emailed reward around their birthday, usually a free appetizer or dessert, and it costs nothing to join the club. In the restaurant, anyone willing to sit on the famous wooden saddle gets the full YEE-HAW birthday treatment from the staff, free, unforgettable, and mildly embarrassing in the best way. Details on the birthday reward page.
