Hey y’all! Hungry Huskers gather up!
Hey y’all! Hungry Huskers gather up! 🐄🔥 Let’s continue our Eats in Lincoln series — today we’re trying something classic American: Texas Roadhouse! 🥩✨ If you’re craving a true taste of American steakhouse culture, Texas Roadhouse is THE place to go. It’s a nationwide favorite, and the Lincoln location definitely lives up to the hype! 📍 It’s about a 12-minute drive from UNL campus. Yeah, it’s a bit of a ride, but totally worth it! Trust me—this place is always packed. Every time I go with friends, we see crowds of people laughing, chatting, and munching on peanuts 🥜 while waiting. Speaking of waiting… be prepared! Even with a call-ahead seating, you might still wait around 30 mins to 1 hour. On Friday nights? Forget about it—it’s wild! 🤠🎉 But the wait is fun—everyone stands around barrels of free peanuts, cracking them open and tossing the shells right on the floor. It’s messy, loud, and so much fun! Once you’re inside, the vibe is pure American cowboy — wooden decor, country music, and the smell of grilled meat everywhere. It’s not a quiet fancy restaurant; it’s a place where people laugh out loud, celebrate birthdays 🎂🐎 (yes, they bring you a saddle-shaped seat and everyone cheers!), and just have a great time. Now let’s talk FOOD 👇 🍞 THE ROLLS: These are legendary. Warm, soft, freshly baked cinnamon-spiced rolls served with their signature honey cinnamon butter. You’ll want to take an extra bucket home. No shame. 🥗 Starters: I usually go for a house salad or a bowl of chili (a bit salty but so hearty!). 🥩 Steaks: Their steaks are juicy, well-seasoned, and cooked just how you like it. The portions are HUGE—classic Midwest style. My go-to is the 6-oz Filet or the Ribeye. Always tender, always satisfying. 🍗 Other favorites: Fall-off-the-bone ribs, grilled chicken, and their loaded baked potatoes! 👉 Pro tip: You can always ask for a to-go box. Don’t waste a bite! You can even ask for extra rolls to take home 😉 The service is super friendly. They sing for birthdays, crack jokes, and make you feel at home. Remember to tip—usually 15%–20% is standard. 💰 Price per person? Around 15–20 without drinks. You’ll leave STUFFED and happy. Perfect for dinner with friends after a long week! Definitely a Lincoln must-try. #EatsInLincoln #TexasRoadhouse #SteakLovers #FoodieHuskers #LincolnNE #AmericanFood #StudentEats
