      One of the three items I ordered was missing its second side order of fries. I paid for an item that I did not receive.

      I contacted Texas Roadhouse via their website form regarding this missing
      side order. They will not reply back to me. This is a repeating issue with Texas Roadhouse, they ignore contacts and also leave out items in an order.

      Texas Roadhouse
      524 Sawmill Road
      West Haven, CT 06516 ***** ******* *****************

      I am requesting a credit back to my credit card in the amount of $3.75. The
      price for one side order of fries+tax (7.35% CT restaurant tax).

      Date: 09/10/2024

      Hi there, we can close this BBB concern. The West Haven, CT has tried reaching out since 9/7 and every time the call goes straight to voicemail so they were unable to speak with the guest directly. I also attempted to call the guest at 6:18pm EST  today and was immediately sent to voicemail and left a message asking him to follow up and provided a reference number for him. His refund request for $3.75 has been submitted and he should see the funds return to his account within 5-7 business days.

      I am hard to reach via phone during the day because of my work schedule and only access to internet at the office. I will be checking my credit card statement for the credit and will contact you or the BBB again if there is an issue. Thanks

      I came in and ordered a country fried sirloin after not ordering one before. I tried one bite and was very disappointed. It tasted like greasy, fried batter and nothing like meat. I took one bite and didn't eat any more of it. My server came back to the table at the end of the meal, offering boxes but not asking how the food was. She then told us how to pay and walk away. Previous experiences I’ve had here the server will ask how the food is but I wasn’t treated that way so I felt uncomfortable attempting to call them back over to share the issue. I was really disappointed because this was for my birthday meal and I wasn’t treated like a respected customer.

We have partnered with their Managing Partner and are continuing to address the guest's concerns to ensure each guest has the legendary experience expected.

      I visited the Texas Roadhouse in Waukesha yesterday and it was horrible. I ordered a medium well steak and they gave me a bloody disgusting looking steak. They also have moved away from giving you A1 they bring you an empty cup of sauce. One was so watery she said it may have been mistaken for auju sauce. The waiter was clueless and told me it was A1 just an overall bad experience.

      We can close this BBB concern. The manager of the East Meadow location reached out to the guest and spoke with him about his concerns. The manager offered him a coupon for the next time they came in. After speaking with the guest today I sent the $30 coupon to his email.

      This happened quite a while ago, about a year and a half ago when I still worked there, I didn't think much of it at the time but I do remember this business requiring us to use out last 4 digits of our own SSN as a pin code. Not only is that risky but that poses a big security risk for an individuals well being, I'm writing this as a concerned person for others employed at this business, I implore you to look into this suspicious practice.(I'm also not sure if this is the right place to put this). I don't have any evidence, only my own memories of that place, I know there may not be anything you can do but please at least check it out.

      I have been communicating with ****** *******, an adjuster, for TRH since April. She has been a poor representation of this company as a whole. I was injured at TRH in Baltimore MD and this employee has done nothing but mock, blame and be condescending to me. I had eaten a pebble at the location and has caused me to have 2 different dental procedures. I have experienced pain and discomfort, and TRH/****** ******* has made a bad situation even worse. I have tried to communicate with a higher up multiple times and have asked for a new adjuster multiple times, since May and have been denied each time. This has caused me even more emotional stress. I would liek to speak to someone and make a formal complaint regarding ****** *******s behaviors and gas lighting.

      I took my family to Texas Roadhouse on college dr. on July 26th it was on a Friday night . We eat there on a regular basis we enjoy the food and atmosphere. We were there enjoying our food and one of the employees walked by a couple of times trying to intimidate my daughter, the employees friends and my daughter had prior issues with each other but after we finished our meal and was leaving out the employee had some choice words for my daughter and not only that, she also came outside behind us as we were heading to our car. The whole experience was very stressful and very unpleasant. My wife went back in and spoke with the manager and we spoke with the management again a few days later but they haven’t responded yet to tell us how the issue is being resolved.

      My wife and I went to Texas Roadhouse in Bradley, IL for dinner on 8/2/24. We checked in at the hostess stand and the manager took my name and number. We were told there would be a 20-25 minute wait, which we accepted. After waiting 35 minutes I went to the hostess to check on the status of our table. The manager at the stand said she “messed up” and didn’t put me on the list. The manager stated there are a couple tables being cleaned and they will take us back shortly. My wife and I waited for another 25 minutes watching the crew take back numerous parties who arrived long after we did. No one ever called us to give us a table, even after speaking with the manager. After waiting over an hour with no help from the crew, my wife and I left the location and did not dine at Texas Roadhouse. This terrible customer service upsets us and we will no longer frequent Texas Roadhouse if this is how poorly they treat their customers.
