Texas Roadhouse

Texas Roadhouse generated $5.5 billion in revenue in 2024 and has ranked among the top casual dining chains in the American Customer Satisfaction Index in recent years. Founded in Clarksville, Indiana in 1993, its made-from-scratch sides, hand-cut steaks, and complimentary peanuts-and-bread experience set a high bar for casual dining value. Most locations don't take reservations, and long waits during peak hours are a well-known part of the experience.
