You won’t believe how little this cult-favorite steakhouse’s secret weekly meal deal costs!

Some diners have discovered a way to enjoy a full steakhouse meal without breaking the bank.

It requires showing up at a specific time of day and ordering from a select menu.

For those who know about it, the deal means enjoying signature dishes for less than you might expect.

And if you time it right, you can also avoid the busiest dinner rush.


Here’s how it works: Monday through Thursday, from 3 pm to 5 pm, select Texas Roadhouse locations (like the bustling Cinema Ridge spot in San Antonio) roll out a special menu.

For $11.99, you get your pick from a lineup of their signature entrees—each one a full meal, complete with two sides and, of course, those legendary rolls.

One popular choice is the 6-ounce sirloin steak cooked to order, served with seasoned rice and green beans.

The Early Dine deal covers a mouthwatering array of options:
  • 6-ounce Sirloin Steak Dinner (cooked to your liking)
  • Pulled Pork Dinner
  • Country Fried Sirloin Dinner
  • Grilled Pork Chop
  • Grilled BBQ Chicken Dinner
  • Herb-Crusted Chicken Dinner
  • Grilled Chicken Salad
  • Country Fried Chicken Dinner
  • Chicken Caesar Salad
  • Chicken Critters Dinner
  • Chicken Critter Salad
That’s right—steak, chicken, pork, and salads, all for less than the price of a movie ticket and popcorn.

And yes, you still get those warm, pillowy rolls with honey cinnamon butter, which, let’s be honest, are half the reason we go in the first place.

Let’s set the scene: You arrive just before 4 pm, and the place is already buzzing. After a short wait, you’re led past the peanut barrels and neon signs to a cozy booth.

The server greets you with a smile and a basket of fresh rolls—soft, steamy, and slathered in that sweet, spiced butter. You try to pace yourself, but who can resist? (Pro tip: Save room for the main event.)

When your meal arrives, it’s a feast. The steak is seared to perfection, the sides are generous, and the portions are so hearty you’ll probably have leftovers for tomorrow’s lunch.

Whether you’re a “no sauce, just steak” purist or you like to mix and match bites of green beans, seasoned rice, and bread, you’ll leave satisfied—and with your budget intact.
