Texas Roadhouse Drink Prices

Texas roadhouse drink prices run about $2.99 for fountain soda and iced tea, $3.49 for lemonade, $4.49 and up for draft and bottled beer, $5.99 for a house margarita and $9.99 for the Legendary Margarita. Regional pricing shifts these figures.

Drink price spec table

A drink at Texas Roadhouse costs between $2.99 and $9.99 depending on category: non-alcoholic beverages sit at $2.99 to $3.49, beer starts near $4.49, and specialty margaritas top out around $9.99 at most locations.

The one number people miss: drinks are the single biggest controllable line on a Roadhouse check. Two sodas and two house margaritas add roughly $18 before tax to a table that already ordered $17 sirloins.

Soft drinks, tea and lemonade prices

Non-alcoholic drink prices at Texas Roadhouse are $2.99 for fountain soft drinks, $2.99 for iced tea, and $3.49 for lemonade. Coffee and milk are usually priced in the same $2.49 to $3.29 band and vary more by store than the fountain items.

Flavored or “specialty” lemonades and teas, where a store carries them, are priced above plain lemonade and are often excluded from free refills. That exclusion is the most common surprise on a Roadhouse bill.

Beer, margarita and cocktail prices

Beer starts around $4.49 for domestic drafts and bottles, imports and craft run higher. The house margarita is $5.99, the Legendary Margarita is $9.99, and Kenny’s Cooler is $7.99. Wine by the glass generally lands between $6 and $10.

Alcohol pricing is where regional spread is widest. State liquor taxes and local licensing mean a $5.99 house margarita in the Midwest can read $7.49 in coastal metro markets, while the beer gap is usually a dollar or less.

Free refills: what is actually unlimited

Fountain soft drinks, iced tea and coffee come with free refills for dine-in guests. Lemonade is usually refilled too but is not guaranteed at every store. Alcohol, milk, and bottled beverages are never refilled, and takeout orders get one pour only.

Practical read: one $2.99 iced tea across a 70-minute dinner is genuinely cheap. Ordering a bottled drink or a specialty lemonade instead turns the same seat time into $7 or more. If you want the refill, order from the fountain or the tea urn.

Drink calories and nutrition

Texas Roadhouse does not print calorie counts for every beverage on the in-store menu, so treat drink calories as estimates. Unsweet tea and water are effectively zero. Regular soda, sweet tea and lemonade sit in the 150-250 calorie range per filled glass before refills.

The refill mechanic matters more than the first glass. Three sweet teas across a meal can outweigh a 6 oz sirloin’s 250 calories several times over. If you are tracking, unsweet tea with lemon is the free swap. For exact figures, check the nutrition guide on the chain’s own site, since recipes and pour sizes change.

How to order drinks without overpaying

Order fountain drinks or brewed tea if more than one glass is likely, since refills are free. Ask whether your store runs happy hour before ordering from the bar, and confirm any specialty lemonade or flavored tea is refillable before it hits the table.

• Happy hour at participating locations typically runs Monday through Friday, roughly 3-5 pm, with reduced prices on selected drafts, wells and house margaritas. Days, hours and the discount list are set locally.
• Kids drinks are cheaper on the kids menu and usually refillable, so avoid ordering an adult soda for a child.
• Water is free and the rolls and cinnamon butter are unlimited for dine-in, which is a real reason many tables skip the drink upsell entirely.
• Takeout drinks are priced the same but come sealed with no refill, so buying soda to go is the worst value on the beverage list.

Are the drinks worth it

Value ranking is clear: iced tea at $2.99 with free refills is the best drink on the menu, the $5.99 house margarita is fair for a casual-dining pour, and the $9.99 Legendary Margarita only makes sense if you actually want the larger, stronger, top-shelf build.

Compared against food, a $9.99 Legendary costs roughly what the Cactus Blossom appetizer does and more than a Big Ol’ Brownie dessert. Two of them equal a hand-cut sirloin dinner with two sides. A table of four that orders one drink each will typically add $12 to $30 to a check, which is 15-25% of the total on a mid-priced order.

Why your location charges more

Texas Roadhouse locations are a mix of company-run and franchised restaurants, and menu pricing is set regionally rather than nationally. Expect a 10-15% spread between rural Midwest stores and high-cost metro or airport-adjacent locations, with alcohol showing the widest gap.

To confirm before you go, pull up your specific restaurant’s page on the official site or open the store in a delivery app and check the beverage section, remembering delivery menus are usually marked up above dine-in. A quick phone call to the host stand is the only way to confirm current happy hour days and hours, since those are not published nationally.

Limits of this price data

This page is an independent guide, not the official Texas Roadhouse site. The prices above reflect commonly listed figures verified against location menus in July 2026 and are not a quote. Nothing here is a guarantee of what your restaurant will charge.

Where a figure could not be verified across multiple stores, we have given a range instead of a single number, particularly for coffee, milk, wine and craft beer. Beverage calorie counts are estimates because the chain does not publish a full drink nutrition breakdown on every menu. Happy hour participation, drink availability and alcohol service all vary by state and by store. Confirm current prices with your location before ordering.
