Texas Roadhouse — Restaurant in Tracy

Update: Tuesday, June 10, 2025 PM Went here tonight to celebrate Father’s Day before the big rush this weekend. And…because we had a coupon for a complementary fried pickle appetizer! We were lucky to have TONY as our server. What a personable guy. He has an amazing personality to be an outstanding server. He did not let us down. He checked on his frequently and took care of our needs. Thank you TONY‼️ My son had the 8 ounce fillet…pretty much the same that he gets every time. He was happy with that. I had the pulled pork and made sliders out of it. They give you toasted rolls with the pulled pork. Nothing really wrong with it but it just didn’t hit right. I probably won’t order it again. But it was a very big portion and I brought half of it home so I’ll have that tomorrow night for dinner. The manager came by to check on us. That’s a nice touch that they check in with their guests. We really enjoyed our overall dining experience and the food. One thing… the fried pickles were cooked fresh and they were even hot! Just the way we like them. Thank you TONY. A big thank you to TRH for the military discount‼️ ——————— Update: Saturday, June 1, 2024 PM Of course, Texas Roadhouse is always slammed. Don’t forget to use the Call Ahead to get your name on the list. It works pretty good. Everything is always good. My 16 ounce sirloin was awesome. The salad was awesome. We had to ask for a new batch of rolls. The ones they initially gave us were not hot and fresh and soft. But they obliged and took care of us. I had the chili beans as a side with my steak. My son usually gets the fillet. He was happy with that. I need to give special kudos to CHRIS, our awesome server. Very personable and helpful. We will definitely ask for his section next time we are there. Thanks Chris! Thank you to TRH for honoring our heroes in uniform. The discount is definitely appreciated! ——————- Update: Sunday, September 24, 2023 PM

You certainly don’t go here for a quiet romantic dinner date! You go here for the food…specifically beef! They know how to do beef. Tonight, they hit it out of the ballpark with the food and service. I ordered the 12 ounce ribeye medium with chili. It was perfect! Not one bit of waste on that steak. My son ordered the 8 ounce filet with a side of mashed potatoes. Same as mine…not a bit of gristle or fat on the steak. Perfect! Our server, Natalia, was a big part in making this a perfect dining experience. Kudos and thank you, Natalia!

Like usual this place was insanely busy! Have to drive around the parking lot for 15 minutes waiting for somebody to leave.

Not running on all cylinders tonight. That’s why four stars instead of five. We started with sn appetizer of deep fried pickles. They were very good…fresh and hot and a large serving! I ordered a 12 ounce ribeye with a pork chop and for sides, a house salad with thousand and blue cheese, extra croutons. My other side dish initially was steak fries. The steak fries were so bad I sent them back twice and finally settled on a cup of chili! Chili was pretty decent but the beans were still a little bit on the hard side. The ribeye had quite a bit of gristle! Pork chop was OK. Salad was good as always. To drink I ordered a peach iced tea. Had to send the first one back and have it remade. It was very weak and not much peach flavoring. Second one was better.

Of course I filled up on fresh hot bread and butter! Can’t go wrong with that.

It’s always a fun place. The manager came around to check on us. Noise level is very loud. We had two different servers....

This is the best bread you'll ever put in your mouth. Add the cinnamon honey butter (or whatever it is), and you've got one thing to make you return. You're asked to choose a steak before going into the restaurant area. This is a fun selection process as you look thru a refrigerated storage area window. I enjoyed the food, but I was disappointed in so many other ways. They only serve dinner, so it opens at 3pm. They had a line built up about 10 min before opening. Then they got busy FAST. The salad didnt have much dressing but it was good. I didnt know bacon was an extra 70 cents ( found out at the payment module). It's a good size and decent to even share. I was offered a test flavor for a new margarita which hit the mark, but wont get you buzzed even though it's 18oz. Nothing wrong with that. It had lots of flavor and tajin on the rim. The service was very ... inconsistent. I wasn't seated at the bar but the bartender was also my server. This was a mistake. She was busy making some kind of mixture or doing lots of other tasks rather than focusing on the customers at the bar, and myself. One of the managers did stop by my table to check on me, and I did appreciate that. The steak was cooked to perfection. I asked for med rare and that's what I got. The chili was a bit cold. The cheese didnt even melt on it. I was disappointed but that's also a factor of having just TOO many items on their menu. I'm shocked they they dont have Mac n cheese as a side. Missed opportunity there. The brownie was hard as a brick. I didnt even finish it. The bartender didnt ask if I liked it. Normally when someone doesn't finish a dish, you ask if they need a box or didnt like it. Neither of those things happened unfortunately. The bathroom had standing water in the sink. This also means they do not clean it hourly or on some consistent basis.

So, this was my first time at this place... And I didn't exactly have the highest hopes of it meeting my personal picky criteria when it comes to a great steak. That said, imo, any restaurant claiming to be an authentic steakhouse should indeed be able to hold their own in every facet of the word right? Well, I am pleasantly surprised to say, they absolutely outdid it on my entire meal, start to finish. Aside from the hostess who felt a lil "hostless" if you will, our service was as excellent as our meal, and being first time guests, we were greeted by (im guessing??) a house manager of sorts whom came to introduce himself and welcomed us with a free bag of house peanuts and a coupon for future visit! I chose to have the filet mignon medallions for my entree choice, mostly because they were the largest portion, 3 @3oz ea= 9oz, vs the 6oz standard portion... Came with 2 sides of choice which I went with a loaded baked potato and chili. We were incidentally explained the process used for the chili meat too! So I'll share here: they use the prime cuts of meat at end of day that weren't used and ground into the meat cooked into their house chili. Smart since they got the meat down ...! Overall, my opinion of this experience was fantastic, and I'm a super sketchy one on meats! My only hesitation of a like that id prefer to not so much indulge in next time, was the sweet cinnamon butter and sweet rolls offered at seating. It was quickly rectified upon request when I asked for regular butter and more bread which came buttered on top with a hint of garlic I'd guess? I just didn't expect the cinnamon thing and that flavor was seemingly WAY off for my senses in a steakhouse of opposing smells, feel me?! Unfortunately I never caught the name of our waitress but I have to give her props, because she was so tuned...
