Texas Roadhouse Hours

Texas Roadhouse hours at most locations run about 11am to 10pm Monday through Thursday, 11am to 11pm Friday and Saturday, and 11am to 9pm Sunday. Many stores skip weekday lunch and open at 3pm or 4pm instead.

What are the typical hours of operation?

The pattern most Texas Roadhouse restaurants follow is 11am to 10pm Monday through Thursday, 11am to 11pm on Friday and Saturday, and an earlier 9pm close on Sunday. Individual stores set their own schedule, so treat this as a baseline rather than a promise.

The Sunday close is the detail people get wrong most often after the lunch question. A 9pm Sunday close with seating stopping earlier means a 8:30pm arrival can be cutting it fine at a busy store.

Why is my location closed at noon on a Tuesday?

Because a large share of Texas Roadhouse restaurants do not serve weekday lunch at all. Those stores open in the mid afternoon, commonly 3pm or 4pm, and run dinner service only Monday through Thursday or Monday through Friday. Nothing is wrong with the store.

This is the single biggest source of confusion around the brand’s hours, and it is why a generic “11am to 10pm” answer copied from a directory site sends people to a locked door. The pattern is not random either. Locations near malls, highways, tourist corridors and dense office districts are far more likely to run daily lunch; suburban stores that fill their dining room on dinner traffic alone frequently do not bother.

Two practical consequences follow. First, if you want a sit-down lunch on a weekday, confirm before you drive rather than assuming. Second, a store that opens at 3pm effectively starts its day inside the happy hour window, which changes what is available in your first half hour there.

What time does it open on Friday, Saturday and Sunday?

Weekend openings are much more consistent than weekday ones. Friday, Saturday and Sunday, most locations open at 11am, including many that stay shut until afternoon the rest of the week. Weekend lunch is the standard offering across the chain.

Breaking the three days apart, since each behaves differently once the doors are open:

• Friday: an 11am open at most stores and the latest closing time of the week alongside Saturday, around 11pm. Friday is also the last day Early Dine pricing applies, since that promotion runs weekdays before 6pm.
• Saturday: 11am to roughly 11pm. No Early Dine, no weekday happy hour, and the heaviest wait times of the week from about 5:30pm onward. Arriving right at open or after 8:30pm are the two low-friction windows.
• Sunday: 11am open, but a 9pm close at most locations, two hours earlier than Saturday. Sunday lunch traffic after church services is a genuine rush at many stores, so an 11am arrival is not automatically a quiet one.

Is Texas Roadhouse open on Mondays?

Yes. Texas Roadhouse restaurants are open seven days a week, Monday included. The reason people ask is the afternoon opening: a store that does not serve Monday lunch looks closed to anyone driving past at midday, but it is simply not open yet.

Monday is also one of the better nights to go. Dinner service typically starts around 3pm or 4pm, the Early Dine window is live until 6pm, happy hour runs 3pm to 5pm, and the wait list is usually shorter than any night from Thursday onward. If you want a full dining room experience without standing outside for forty minutes, Monday and Tuesday are the days to pick.

What does closing time actually mean here?

Closing time is when the doors lock, not when you can still be seated. Kitchens typically stop taking new tables roughly 15 to 30 minutes before the posted close, and the host stand may cut the wait list earlier than that on a busy night.

So a 10pm Tuesday close realistically means being in the building by about 9:30pm if you want a full meal without being rushed. On Friday and Saturday, an 11pm close gives you until roughly 10:30pm. On Sunday, the 9pm close pulls that back to about 8:30pm. The exact cutoff is a manager’s call and varies from store to store, which is another reason a phone call beats a guess when you are running late.

Curbside and to-go ordering often close on a slightly different clock than the dining room, sometimes shutting down before the last dine-in seating. If you are ordering ahead late, the app will tell you whether the kitchen is still accepting orders far more reliably than the posted dining room hours will.

Which hours line up with Early Dine and happy hour?

Two time-limited windows sit inside the standard schedule. Early Dine runs on weekdays before 6pm with entrees in the roughly $10.99 to $12.99 range at participating stores. Happy hour runs Monday through Friday, 3pm to 5pm.

Both promotions are set locally. A store can decline to run Early Dine, offer a shorter list, or price it differently, so confirm with your location before planning a meal around it.

What happens on holidays?

Holiday hours break the normal pattern in both directions. Most locations are open on Thanksgiving with shortened hours, commonly late morning through mid afternoon. Christmas Day is the one day the chain is broadly closed, and Christmas Eve typically runs a shortened schedule.

Other holidays such as New Year’s Eve, Easter, Mother’s Day and July 4th vary considerably from store to store, both in whether the restaurant opens and in what hours it keeps. Mother’s Day in particular is a high volume day where some locations extend hours and others take reservations differently than usual. Because every one of these decisions is made at the location level, no page can tell you your store’s holiday hours with certainty. Call ahead, especially for Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve, and do it a few days in advance rather than the morning of.

How do I check hours for today at my store?

Three methods, ranked by reliability. The official store locator and mobile app show the hours the restaurant itself maintains. Calling the store gets you a person who knows about today’s specific situation. Third-party map listings are the least reliable and frequently show stale weekday lunch hours.

1. The official app or store locator. Pull up your location and read the day-by-day hours it lists. This also tells you whether to-go ordering is currently open, which the dining room hours alone will not.
2. Call the restaurant. Worth doing for holidays, weather events, late arrivals, and any question about whether weekday lunch is served. A thirty second call settles what an afternoon of searching cannot.
3. Map listings. Useful for a rough sanity check, but do not drive across town on the strength of a Google or Apple Maps hours block alone, particularly for a weekday lunch visit.

Where this page can be wrong

Every hour listed here is a typical pattern drawn across the chain, not a schedule for your restaurant. Individual locations set opening times, closing times, weekday lunch service and holiday schedules themselves, and any of them can change without notice.

Specific things this page cannot tell you: whether your store serves lunch on a Tuesday, exactly when its kitchen stops seating, whether it participates in Early Dine, and what it does on Easter or New Year’s Eve. Short-staffing, private events, remodels and severe weather all override posted hours on the day. This is an independent guide with no affiliation with Texas Roadhouse; the official app, store locator and a phone call to the restaurant are the authoritative sources.
