the texas roadhouse restaurant chain is a bonafide international success however some people might
not be too familiar with the chain so here to shed a little more light on the franchise are 10 truths
you didn't know about texas roadhouse authentic food video when they say don't mess with texas
they might as well be talking about the food like many things in the lone star state food is taken
seriously and has to meet certain standards in order to make the claim of being truly
authentic texas cuisine many people argue about what exactly the parameters are
but many agree that the texas roadhouse chain has passed the authenticity test with flying colors
you cannot have authentic texas food without good quality texas beef and the restaurants each have a
butcher on staff to make sure only the best cuts of beef are served the chain offers a selection
of hand-cut steaks including the fort worth ribeye dallas filet and the usda choice sirloin
if you're not in the mood for steak you can order things like the pulled pork dinner
country fried chicken or a texas roadhouse fave the all-american cheeseburger delish
it's hard to beat the fresh-cut steaks the popular chain is so proud of but texas roadhouse is also
proud of the fact that it makes most of its other menu items from authentic recipes using only the
freshest ingredients they're so fresh they're so fresh this includes everything from main dishes
and sides to smaller items like the famous rolls and even salad dressing texas roadhouse seems to
take its commitment to authenticity very seriously and this means better quality food for customers
not a texas original y'all saying texas ain't real the food that texas roadhouse serves might
be authentic texas fare but it turns out the authenticity of the restaurant itself is in
question say it isn't so well sorry to say but it is so people might have assumed that the chain
started in texas but this is actually a false assumption the famous chain which was founded by
a man named kent taylor actually opened its very first location in clarksville indiana in 1993.
shocking we know texas roadhouse may have started as a modest diner but has since grown
into an international success story of texas-sized proportions the corporate headquarters isn't in
texas either the hq for the texas roadhouse chain actually happens to be in louisville kentucky
kentucky however there are 56 texas locations today making this state the chain's biggest market
texans know that bigger is better so they'll be happy to learn that the largest location is indeed
in texas the details of where this famous chain got its start is relatively minor in the grand
scheme of things however it is in the chain's best interest to let people assume that it all began
in texas because it adds to the restaurant's authenticity a bit of texas almost everywhere
the texas roadhouse restaurant chain has more than 600 locations
in the united states and around the world you would think that because of this successful
expansion the company would have at least one location in every state in the u.s
but that's simply not the case there are more than 50 locations in the great state of texas alone so
you're good to go if you live there and get a craving for one of the chains delicious meals
yummy there is one unlucky state that has not been graced with successful chains presence
at least not yet texas roadhouse doesn't like to publicize which state has been left out in the
cold many people assume it is either hawaii or alaska because these states have small markets
and present logistic problems for companies that other states don't however there is something to
be said for keeping this mystery alive so it can continue to be a topic of conversation
the truth is that the people who don't have a texas roadhouse in their state know who they
are hopefully they live close enough to a texas roadhouse located in a nearby state so they can
still go to one when they get the urge with all of its success both in america and overseas it seems
like this successful restaurant chain could open one more location in the state in question if you
know which state is missing a texas roadhouse let us know in the comments margaritas anyone
in the wise words of jimmy buffett if life gives you limes make margaritas when you think
of refreshing margaritas you most likely think of your favorite local mexican restaurant where they
have bottomless tortilla chips salsa and all your faves texas likes big things so it makes sense
that this particular restaurant chain would have the largest margarita menu in the entire u.s of a
the texas roadhouse menu boasts 15 different festive margaritas to choose from including
the legend margarita that has not one but three kinds of tequila for an extra special experience
you can also try the sangria margarita hurricane margarita as well as the classic
original frozen margarita that is sure to tantalize those taste buds it seems like any
one of these would go just fine with a spicy appetizer or any of the flavorful main dishes
so make sure to enjoy texas roadhouse is known for its big portions and the same is true when
it comes to its generous drinks customers rave about the chains margaritas for their sheer size
as well as their fresh quality ingredients margarita anyone exclusive lunch lunchtime
competition for customers is fierce among restaurants so lunch specials are not uncommon
texas roadhouse however has taken this practice to another level and for good reason being part
of something especially something exclusive excites people well texas roadhouse restaurants
are only open for lunch two days a week this sense of exclusivity seems to have worked with
the public because people flock to these limited lunch opportunities on saturday and sunday at noon
for exclusive meals that you can only get at the successful restaurant chain texas roadhouse has
explained that the limited lunch schedule was implemented to help employees maintain
a decent balance between their work and home lives two thumbs up for caring about the staff this
is a welcome attitude in an industry that is notoriously hard on employees such as the wait
staff i hate this job it's probably also a good selling point when people apply for a job with
the chain texas roadhouse serves big portions of quality food so it's no wonder people would go out
of their way to experience the exclusive menu that they can only get two days a week there's
no set lunch menu that applies to all of the texas roadhouse locations but you will be able to choose
from the chain's extensive menu some locations may do things a little differently from others so
check with the locations near you to see what they offer for their exclusive lunches butchers meet
people truly appreciate when companies go the extra mile for them effort can go a long way
most chain restaurants have to rely on a number of frozen and packaged foods to create the range
of recipes that they offer popular chains like texas roadhouse serve so many customers that
it's hard to keep up using only fresh ingredients which require a lot more preparation time than
pre-packaged and processed foods texas roadhouse however has tried to resist the trend in the
industry and as part of this commitment it has a butcher on site working at each restaurant
location as it turns out the best way to get the freshest cuts of meat is to have your own butcher
on staff to prepare them for customers right on the premises it was the meat of the moment meat
meat meat the fresh meat is carefully stored in refrigerators at 34 degrees fahrenheit so the
meats are as fresh as possible when the butcher needs them because each location employs their own
butcher the restaurant can cater to local tastes when it comes to what cuts to offer customers
instead of one size fits all frozen steaks they have the flexibility to offer a range of fresh
choices to satisfy different tastes purely genius free food did someone say something
about a free hot meal is there anyone out there who doesn't like free food no no one that's what
we thought many restaurants know this too but texas roadhouse actually takes advantage of the
fact that everyone loves a good freebie and acts on it every customer who sits down in this popular
chain is served all you can eat peanuts aka an elephant's dream this is a thoughtful touch that
hungry customers appreciate as they look over their menu choices think about it you're hungry
and you don't want to ruin your appetite while you scan the menu in order to make your meal selection
peanuts are a good choice because they are a healthy snack that people can feel good about
as they contemplate heavier foods like steaks and burgers the all you can eat peanuts may seem
like an unimportant detail to some but it's the little details like this that can help separate a
successful restaurant from an unsuccessful one if customers encounter delays after they are seated
at their table they can expect to be treated to a free basket of warm bread that tastes and feels
heaven sent can we have some bread and no other food at all wow fresh warm bread is a treat most
people enjoy so this is a nice touch that doesn't cost texas roadhouse very much the free food that
the chain gives its customers can be seen as part of the cost of doing business but also as
a sign that the company values its customers a little more than other places do fakers
texas roadhouse has butchers and bakers on staff but apparently has no need for candlestick makers
the chain's famous attention to detail and quality demands that they take that extra step
to provide fresh food when other restaurants do not people like to get free rolls at restaurants
but most people don't think about where the rolls came from wow were they simply heated up before
serving or were they made from scratch in the kitchen using fresh ingredients well customers
at texas roadhouse locations don't have to wonder because they know that they were made right in the
restaurant by the staff baker fresh rolls might seem like a minor thing for a restaurant to offer
but restaurants are locked in a fierce competition for your business and any advantage is a welcome
one even if you go to the texas roadhouse for the great steaks and not the fresh rolls it is nice to
know that they make warm rolls from scratch by an actual baker and these pillows of fluffy goodness
will be waiting for you upon arrival whipped cinnamon butter and oh they trained for this
from cooks to waiters all restaurant workers receive some kind of training but the depth
and quality of this training can vary wildly the differences in training or lack of training
can sometimes be seen in the quality of the food and service at inexpensive as well as expensive
restaurants i didn't need to be hired i simply came in picked up a tray and started working for
the man according to texas roadhouse the staff at all of its locations go through a training
program that is more detailed and rigorous than most others in the industry the restaurant chain
is proud of the fact that it teaches the wait staff to upsell the menu but it doesn't stop with
simple suggestions the employees are carefully trained to use psychological techniques to aid
in their efforts to connect with their customers so they're all like mini freud's all of this
training is meant to accomplish two things first to get customers to order more food and second
to improve the overall experience of the customers so that they leave happy and want to visit a texas
roadhouse again you can't fault the popular chain for going the extra mile with its training program
because the restaurant business is so competitive that literally every order is significant
it is probably hard to quantify just how successful this extra training is but the people
at texas roadhouse definitely continue to do it meaning they must believe that it works for them
and is worth the extra time and effort it takes to train the staff roadkill people eat roadkill
while roadkill may not sound like the most appetizing dish to enjoy it is listed as an item
on the texas roadhouse menu have no fear though it is not actually roadkill in the literal sense
of the term but it's more like a chopped steak covered in sauteed onions and mushrooms as well as
jack cheese i love american cheese the description sounds better than its name don't you think
we thought so too the roadkill dish at texas roadhouse definitely gets some eye bulges
but we're thinking that perhaps the restaurant just wanted to have a little bit of fun with some
wordplay if you can get over the icky factor of eating something called roadkill then you should
know that this meal comes highly recommended by other patrons we never thought we'd be saying
this but fancy some roadkill don't mind if we do bite into more great videos just tap or click
