Total all-American comfort food. Good drinks as well. Not the best restaurant around by any means, but very good food at very good prices. The servers are typically very good, attentive and friendly. I kind of cringe at the peanut shells all over the floors, but it is what it is. Every themed chain restaurant will have its quirks.

On a Monday night only waited about 5 minutes. Waitress was extremely nice. I ordered the raspberry margarita per the waitresses suggestion and it was the WORST margarita i have ever had. It tasted like an excellent raspberry but couldn't taste a lick of alcohol. When the manager came around to ask how our meal was and had seen barely any of my margarita gone, I told him it was horrible and it instead of replacing it he just said 'well they are all pre made by restaurant but at the bar it tastes a little different'. For real? lesson learned. .don't ever get their drinks. I ordered a t - bone. Nothing to rave about. Too much fat that I ended up spitting up on my plate. Will never get steak from there again. Only happy part about my visit were the peanuts and the cinnamon butter spread for the buns. Good God, yall suck!!! $36 for absolute shit. Based on how the manager handled the margarita issue I didn't even bother showing him half the meat I spit out on my plate. Guess I'll be going to Logans next time!

When I don't feel like cooking and I want a decently priced steak this is one of my favorites. I always order the ten ounce ribeye done medium with a baked sweet potato and house salad with Italian. Tonight we had about a five minute wait fir seating. Our waitress was prompt and courteous. Once I received my order it was cooked exactly to specification and was delicious. This is definitely one of the chains that gives you a pretty good value for the meal.

Alright so I am not a steak and potatoes kinda gal, but when the craving calls Texas Roadhouse will be where I return. It was a Wednesday night and the place was hopping. Our wait, however, was surprisingly short. Just long enough to get used to the boisterous atmosphere and the decor complete with early seasonal touches. Bring on the food! We both enjoyed our meals and I especially liked the mushrooms for smothering. The portions sure don't disappoint. With such fast and friendly service, you could almost forget there was a full house. Impressive.

Is this a fancy steakhouse??? No. Is it a fun steakhouse with decent prices? Yes. I dont mike steak...but I do like chicken. I have had the Chicken Critter Salad and it is YYUUMMMMYY!! Love it so much, I swear I could eat it every day. I have also had the Smothered Chicken with white gravy, and it has a great flavor as well. I love it! Their dinner rolls are always fresh, hot, and lots of tasty! Love their honey butter. I have also had SEVERAL mixed drinks from here, and they have all been good as well. Great place to take the family.

Texas Roadhouse has some rather spectacular dishes. I had gotten the NY strip and it was fantastic. I also got a sidekick of ribs. The ribs were fall off the bone delicious. I could not get enough of them. The rolls are good, but I didn't go for the bread!

I love going to small, local places as much as possible. This hardly qualifies as "small" or, "local". That being said, I cannot begin to express how excellent my experience was at this place. Our server was second to none. I have literally never had a better experience at a restaurant. That is not hyperbole. The ribs were succulent and tasted wonderful. The steak was cooked to perfection. The bread couldn't have been any better. Honestly, I came in with middle of the road expectations but the staff and the food blew me away. If I wasn't from out of state, I would consider being a regular at this location.

About the best steakhouse you'll get for casual dining in Columbus. And by casual I mean the place you go wearing jeans and a sweatshirt and don't expect to pay $100 per person. This place has a few tvs if you want to watch some sports in the background and the help is very friendly. I've eaten here about 5 or 6 times and each time the server is very friendly and very attentive. The steaks are also always cooked exactly how I like them (medium rare). They do keep kind of weird hours though so be aware. For example in December they open for lunch but otherwise they are not open for lunch. And they close a bit early, 10pm during the week. I'm happy to say though our recent dining adventure did go a bit late and they were cool with it. You must try the Chicken Critters - they're so good! Oh and the chili as a side item is a must!

Don't bother making reservations, even if you do it still seems to be first come first serve. Our dinner was interrupted twice, once by a "manager" checking to see if our experience was ok (ask on the exit, not halfway through the meal), and then again by a girl with some sort of gameshow spinning wheel offering us some promotion if we bought gift cards. This was super annoying, and made me not want to really ever return. The food was ok, but greasy, salty, and really just ok. For some reason, people seem to like the place, as it was packed. Not really for me though, and I've definitely had better experiences with this specific chain elsewhere.

We've been back since, and it looks like they've fixed the problem with the dirty utensils. Very clean last time. Food and service still up to snuff. We'll be back.

Normally I'm not a big fan of any of the national chain restaurants and generally prefer to patronize local establishments. And while you have a good selection of locally owned Italian, Mexican, Greek and American restaurants - there are not many locally owned and moderately priced steakhouses to choose from. Texas Roadhouse - despite being a national chain - fits the bill as a moderately priced, family friendly steakhouse. Here's a tip - they don't take reservations but they do offer "CALL AHEAD SEATING" and if you "Call Ahead" you usually get seated within about 10-15 minutes of the promised time - which is really big on busy nights. The thing I really like about Texas Roadhouse is that they offer a pretty decent steak at a good price and they know how to cook a steak to order. With the volume of steaks they prepare, they must have it down to a science in the kitchen. I like my steak RARE and my wife likes her's medium rare. When we order 1 rare and 1 medium rare steak that's generally what we get. And it's rare (pun intended) for most places serving steaks to know how to properly cook a rare steak. The place is a little on the noisy side and is not really good for larger groups since they have a limited number of tables that can accommodate more than 6 people. Service is always fast, efficent and friendly. The hostess who seats you brings a basket of fresh baked rolls to the table when she seats you. There are peanuts on table to munch while waiting for your order. Entrees come with 2 sides and they cound their side salad and their Ceasar salads as 1 side. The Ceasar salad in particular is excellent - nice sized with a decent Ceasar dressing. Unless you like a well-dressed salad - you might want to order your dressing on the side. That still leaves you with options like steak fries, baked potato, baked sweet potato, green beans with ham (my wife's favorite), cole slaw, etc. as a side to go with your steak. And when it comes to ordering your steak, they offer a variety of types and sizes so you can pretty much customize your steak to your tastes and budget. This ain't a Mitchell's or a Ruth Chris' Steahhouse - but the bill won't set you back a car payment like those places. Good steak, good service, good value.

I bet you're expecting me to be a nasty B, aren't you? And by B, clearly I mean Bryant. It's true this isn't really my type of place, but it wasn't a bad experience at all! In fact, it was quite good. Before tonight, I had never been to a Texas Roadhouse, but the Mister and I found ourselves at Polaris and wanting a quick, casual bite to eat. The interior looked pretty much like all the restaurants I grew up with in Louisiana. And there was country music blaring and sports on the TVs. The food was okay. My ribs were good and my baked sweet potato was too, but the green beans were pretty awful as were the potato skins. The real star here is the service. Everyone was fast and friendly--never leaving us wanting anything. A+ for handling a Sunday night crowd with such ease. Will this become my regular spot? No way. But everything was A-okay.

There ain't nothin' wrong with this joint! It's probably my go-to spot when im feelin the Ron Swanson bug - "You had me at 'Meat Tornado!'" but seriously, this place is a solid deal for a fine piece of steak. I always get the 10 ounce ft. worth ribeye ($16) and have never had any complaints. the 2 complimentary sides are good too (I usually get the green beans and a caesar salad). Granted, i suspect that the yumminess has a lot to do with the copious amounts of butter slathered on everything ....but heY! it's called **TEXAS** roadhouse - go big or go home. tip: get dressing on the side when you order a caesar salad

It was a good meal. The bread and butter were heart warming and the salad with cheese and egg which most places would be unheard of was a pleasant surprise. The steak was cooked really juicy for a medium and the sweet potato was done perfectly. Margaritas were on special and not bad for the price. Be ready to pay 15 to 20 dollars for any good steak because after all steak is expensive these days. Reason they got a 4 star from me because the floors, walls had this feeling of no one cared what they looked like with scuff marks and dirt that you could visibly see. I don't even care about the peanuts on the floor, I mean dirt. I know they are trying to give that country look but country look is not dirty. Have been back twice, place looks always busy and well attentive and will visit again.

My kid loves Monday night kids night. The service is ok; but the food is hit or miss usually more of a miss. They over season their grill chicken and shrimp all the time and even when you ask for it unseasoned its still way too salty. So I have found the best thing to eat is a baked potato.

Steve G.
You know you're in a crappy steakhouse when the butter that comes with the rolls is the highlight of the meal. The Ft Worth Ribeye was aptly named. This steak was so tough it seems it traveled here on the sole of Forrest Gumps shoe. I ordered it medium, it came out well done. My jaw muscles were not up to the Olympic task of chewing this piece of cow. Marbling? No, that is gristle. Fat breaks down when you cook it. You should not feel you are chewing someone's outer ear when eating meat. Beer selection was bad. Roll butter was good.

Mike G.
So this is long overdue. I really like the food here. I dont have gripe there. What I do have to say is this....dirty dish. Going out is hard enough as it is and you throw a dirty dish at me! To big of a chain to let this slip by.

Dan H.
Disappointing night! So salty that I can't taste the meat. Had much better steak even in Hometown buffet. The manager asked how was the food. I can't begin to say salty because I don't think he could do anything. I opted say ok but wanted to say terribly salty.

For $9.99 you can get a nicely seasoned and prepared 6oz sirloin with a choice of two sides and AYCE breadrolls and peanuts (though you may not want to AYCE the breadrolls, as they're 216 calories each, and that's before the cinnamon butter!). All that and solid service in a comfortable, unpretentious environment. There's absolutely nothing not to like about that. Yes, it's not Mitchell's, but then again neither are the prices.

And by as good as it gets, I mean for what this place is - this is pretty darn good!!!! The place was packing, but we managed to get in when there was a window open and did not have to wait. We sat in the Willie Nelson section (apparently each section has a theme) and had the prerequisite bucket of peanuts waiting on the table for us. We threw a couple on the floor just for the hell of it and pushed the bucket aside. We had THE most friendly server ever - Erina. She explained the joint to us as we had never been to one before. She had me at hot rolls every five minutes. Hubs ordered the 12oz ribeye with sides and I had the 10oz prime rib. And unlike some joints that charge you almost the price of a six pack for one beer - I got one beer for 3$. The food arrived quickly enough (the honey butter on the rolls had me in bread-vana) and it was good except my prime rib was too pink for me. They came and swooped it up and took it away to cook it to my liking. It's interesting how degrees of doneness vary from one restaurant to another. The steamed broccoli and carrots I had were not good to me at all - next time will try something else - but when my prime rib came back? YUMMMMMM! And hubs was in his happy beef eating zone. The manager even came by to "apologize" for my meat being not cooked to my liking and gave us a coupon to come back and have a free appetizer. It's not fancy, it blares country music, peanut shells all over the floor, and often a line........who cares!!!! Great food at a great price! We had enough left over for sandwiches the next day. And I did ask for some more rolls to go with our doggie bag. YEEE HAWWW!!! Let me add this - the price of our meals with tip was less than some steakhouse foo foo places we've gone to for one meal and with no leftovers!

Texas Roadhouse is a chain, and the menu is what you'd expect from a steak house chain. Two things set the Polaris Texas Roadhouse apart from all the rest. The service here is amazing! From the hosts at the door to the bussing staff and all in between, making sure the customer has the best experience is the first priority here. I've been coming here for years and have never had a bad experience. Also, the grill staff knows how to exactly cook a steak. they get rare, medium rare and so forth PERFECT! For steak houses, this is THE place to go

This is like any standard Texas Roadhouse you may have experienced. Country music, peanuts, dancing servers and good steak. I've been to many fancier and more expensive places, but Roadhouse seems to prepare their steaks as well as any of them, good good steak. And I love their salads and their rolls with the cinnamon butter...I could make a meal on them alone!

Steve M.
Very good steaks and atmosphere. Bar items are a bit pricey and the peanut shells on the floor was unique in the 80's. The warm rolls and cinnamon butter is a real crowd pleaser. I wish the bar selection (beer) was more varied.

Chains are hit or miss. I have in the past been to some Texas Roadhouses that were pretty good.. But for the Polaris Texas Roadhouse- SO disappointed! I have not had a steak in maybe 2 to 4 months now. Ready to have a hot juicy beautiful steak. I ordered the 10 oz Ribeye for $16 & was SO disappointed. It was the ugliest piece of meat I have ever been given. I would not even cut into it. What for? It looked nasty! How do you present a plate like that in a restaurant? I complained. The waitress was very good, apologized, offered to bring something else out, took it off the bill. However, at this point, I wanted nothing else. SO disappointed. How do you send out a piece of meat like that? It was like in 3 pieces connected by fat. What kind of garbage was that? After she had come back from the kitchen, she explained that the kitchen staff said it was the end of the loin. AGAIN - how in the world is that acceptable to send out that piece of meat to a customer? I would have given that to my dog- maybe, not to a person. So on that note, even though the waitress was awesome, I did not get what I wanted and found that SO horrible - I will NEVER go back. It is my 2nd experience at this location in the last year and both not good. Do not go here if you want decent food for the price. My boys got the country fried sirloin - 4 at the table. They all came in different sizes and were so over-done, it was crap. Usually you go to a restaurant and pay lots more money - for items you really couldn't cook better. For Texas Roadhouse in Polaris - YES - even the worst cook in the world could make the food better. I think they have apes working in their kitchen. We got free appetizer cards and they went right in the trash. Why in the world would I return?! Of course I didn't make a stink about it there - what for? Your food is terrible - and the Kitchen Manager - SHAME ON YOU! Check what they're doing! You think giving out these free app cards satisfies anything? It doesn't. People work hard to make their money to take their family out to pay for a great meal. NOT be served mediocre garbage. You need to start caring about what you're doing. OK people - WHERE do I get a great steak - not Texas Roadhouse - that's for sure!

Where do I begin..? I should probably start by saying that while indeed it was a dark & stormy night, the night did manage to pick itself back up by the end; that is, by the time we headed for the door everything was fixed. Ive never been to a Texas Roadhouse before, never having had them where we lived. Intended for Carrabba's since we had a coupon, we ended up changing our mind when the rain started; we didnt feel like driving 15mins on 315 just to eat. The hubby was craving ribs so I did a search and found this place. Of course i used Yelp since its never failed me. The only TR that had good reviews was the one right next to Carrabbas...which we werent driving to! The closest one was 5 mins away, just around the corner. The reviews for the TR at Polaris was high praise for their steaks, so I started getting excited; Mmm Mmm beef! We ended up getting there around 6:30, except there was no dinner crowd...guess it was the rain? We sat down at one of those half booths on some type of raised platform which made for a hard time getting down after dinner, and the hubby didnt have as much room to spread out..oh well..right? Were thinking positive still. I should add..hardly any peanut shells on the floor and we couldnt hear any music at all. The waitress was wonderful, very quick and responsive and very friendly. They were having a $4 long island special so quickly ordered 2 & a blooming onion (dont remember what they call their version). Usually i hate the onion, always being over cooked on the outside and too mushy on the inside...this one was perfect. The rolls were warm and the cinnamon butter was a treat! We ended up ordering the a rack of ribs and the rib eye steak with ceaser salads, green beans & fries (2 sides each) to share. We got our salads not even 5 mins later...strange but ok. 5 more mins later (not enough time to finish half the salad) we got our onion app...getting stressed now and feeling rushed. Our poor tiny little table couldnt squeeze anything else on it ...so we order more drinks anyway. Why not?! We finished our salad and ate half the onion by the time our dinners arrived...again way too early. We sent the onion away unable to finish it. Our rare steak was just barely cooked and much too rare, so my husband was happy (he likes it blue-rare..basically not cooked) but i sent my half to be up cooked a bit; i like med-rare. On to the ribs! We each took one....and spit it out. I dont think ive had a rib so dry and tasteless in all my life! Hubby agrees and calls the waitress over. Hubbs isnt a man to pay for something he doesnt L.O.V.E (ive gotten used to this) ..that said..he hated it and wanted either a refund or new nums. We were surprised when the manager came over, not because he was apologetic but because he took the liberty of re-ordering the ribs for us for free. We took away the crappy ones and brought us fresh new ribs (with a few extra bones to help say he was sorry) Before we could try the new ribs, my steak came. And..well..way over cooked; well done in fact. Poor Mr Manager had picked the best time to give us our new ribs. When he left with the crappy ribs he also took my over cooked steak away with even more apologies this time. The waitress kept bringing us drinks during all of this so we werent upset much, even hubby wasnt pissy yet! I kept nummin on the bread & cinnamon butter and sippin my long island and all was fine with the world. The waitress came back again to see how we liked the ribs (which we wonderful now. Very juicy, but far from the best ribs ever...smokey bones was better.) And to also let us know that she re ordered the steak for me and handed us a huge doggie bag alone with fries, my green beans (which never made it to the table, extra rolls and butter, my new steak (med-rare)...and we also put the ribs in there too..full from all the bread and alcohol.) Before we left, the manager brought us our check which we informed us that only included the alcohol we drank. He took all the food off the bill with out us asking to. Amazing. This review, while still upbeat, would have been a lot harsher if management was so dam terrific! I might be back for a steak, but not for ribs. Such good steaks! So even after all the problems, i would still recommend this place for steaks & alcohol specials. The 3 stars are for their management, without them i would have given them a 0:5. If the food was better right from the start id say 4:5 stars..since their ribs werent the greatest anyway.

The Polaris location has horrible staff, they need a new team or retrain the group. I did the call ahead and I will say that it was prompt but, after being seated which if I moved an inch I would hit the couple behind me but, the waitress brought drinks and never refilled. I ordered a steak medium and it came out rare. I did complain as I am not a fan of rare and they literally went back and microwaved my steak which turned out well, well done and tough. My husband steak had the same issue and then the manager came to apologize and literally gave two free appetizers for next time but, thats not the kicker, the appetizers were either the onion bloom (whatever it's called) or fried pickles, well I hate to say it but, we don't eat either and the manager walked away. I had a family of 5 and it's sad when my kids are thirsty and can't get a refill nor an apology and nicely I tried to complain to the manager because I just really wanted a fresh steak she said "NO". I also find it funny that their receipts don't have any number to call and rate the staff cause they stand around talking half the time anyway.

Where I come from, we have a lot of great restaurants that receive multiple Michelin stars. Texas Roadhouse doesn't exist in my city. I wasn't all that impressed with the bloomin onion as an appetizer. I was offered bread but declined. How good could the bread be??!! This is a "chain" restaurant. I ordered the roasted chicken, mashed potatoes and green beans. This wasn't recommended by staff but ordered it anyway as it is a good measuring stick. The chicken was excellent and succulent. Great flavor and cooked perfectly. I will visit Texas Roadhouse anytime I am in town. You won't go wrong and the price makes this a bargain. Staff was friendly and service was very good. and, the bread...I had it and it was excellent. Not a big fan of the music...but I'll get through it for the food.

Went to the Roadhouse last night and had an 8oz Sirloin that was perfectly cooked. The service was great along with the atmosphere and I'll definitely visit this spot again. Large Drafts were only $3 and really went well with the meal. Great chain restaurant and amazingly cooked steaks!

In my opinion, Texas Roadhouse is a lot like you'd expect it to be. Steaks, ribs and more with a southern flair. But still very much like everywhere else without a lot of creativity. It's a nice enough place, but there's only one thing that really stood out to me, and it hasn't been enough to make me go back since. A friend and I ate here one night before we went out to the bars. He wanted a big juicy burger, so we thought that this place looked as good as any. I think it was his choice, because I don't usually go to places like this. If I wanted a burger around this area, I would have gone to Red Robin. So I we go and it's like a complete transformation from the cold and snow outside to Texas. Well, maybe not, but it was blaring cheesy country music and everything looked like the inside of a ranch. Texas is probably nothing like that. What I've seen of it wasn't. Sorry to insult you, Texas. Anyway, we were seated at this little table for two that I didn't think was going to big enough to hold all of our plates. I hate two person tables sometimes, especially at restaurants like this. It's too cramped. We got our menus and instantly I realized I was not in the mood for this place. It's all steaks and ribs and slabs of meat, chicken breasts, and I just wasn't in the mood. I needed a drink. They boast that their margaritas are "legendary." I don't take the words of Barney Stinson lightly (sorry, How I Met Your Mother reference!), so I got one. They weren't bad, but I think they oversold them. I am by no means a margarita connoisseur, but I've had better. But I needed it if I was going to sit through a dinner with this awful music twanging in my ears. And here's the best part of the experience. They brought out a basket of rolls to our table with a cup of butter. Yes, this was the best part. Why? The rolls were good, but the butter was great! It was like this whipped honey butter that tasted like heaven on the rolls. I've definitely never been that excited about butter. But it's pretty sad that the rolls were all I was excited about. I wanted something light for dinner. Well, I really just wanted more rolls, but that's not exactly healthy. And I'm not sure, you might only get one basket per table because they never brought out more. Our server was nice enough, but she was pretty spotty, so maybe she just forgot. Which isn't cool. I wanted rolls! Anyway, I decided on a salad since I didn't just want a huge chunk of meat. I mean, I'm not even kidding. There were only 5 sandwich choices on the menu and most of them were burgers. Everything else? MEAT. So I reluctantly got the Chicken Critter Salad. What the hell? I really didn't want to order something with "Critter" in the title. In fact, it bothered me so much that I just pointed to the menu when the server came by and said, " I want this." I refused to say I wanted critter for dinner. So what was it? Just a stupid salad with chicken strips on it. Nothing special about it, just your typical veggies, bacon, cheese, egg and chicken. The salad wasn't even as big as I expected. Yet it was still $9. I wasn't impressed. It tasted like any other salad from anywhere else, and I didn't have enough to take with me when we left. I should mention that we had to wait quite a while for our food. It was like half an hour or more until our dinners came out. They seemed pretty busy because it was a Saturday night, but it was later, around like 9. It was also very loud in here, and we had to shout across the table at each other. We both ended up drinking too many margaritas because we were waiting forever for our food. And the margaritas were expensive! Like $7 or $8 a piece. Our bills were both way too much. We each spent well over $30 a person. I was not happy about this, but it was my own fault. Kind of. I'm going to take this moment to vent about something right now. What is the deal with most restaurants NOT putting the prices on the drink menus? Why is that so hard? I would like to have some idea of the damage before I get the bill and have a heart attack. Maybe it's because their prices are always crazy and no one would ever order them if they knew how much they cost. That is my theory, so I want to try to boycott drinks from places without prices on the menus when they'll list the price of everything else. If we can know how much our dinners, appetizers and desserts are, why not our drinks? Such a rip off. I'm sorry. I'll get back to the review at hand. There isn't much else to say about the experience. My friend liked his burger but didn't think it was anything exceptional. The margaritas were OK but too expensive. My salad was bleh. No more "critters" for me. The rolls were delicious. The atmosphere was crowded and loud and I hate country music. This is not the place for me. I don't think I'll be back unless I'm with someone who insists on coming here. At least maybe then I can get some rolls again.

oldest son loves the place - he can put peanut shells on the floor... Steak is always cooked properly, decent flavor, always great service. for the amount you spend its great.

Total all-American comfort food. Good drinks as well. Not the best restaurant around by any means, but very good food at very good prices. The servers are typically very good, attentive and friendly. I kind of cringe at the peanut shells all over the floors, but it is what it is. Every themed chain restaurant will have its quirks.

On a Monday night only waited about 5 minutes. Waitress was extremely nice. I ordered the raspberry margarita per the waitresses suggestion and it was the WORST margarita i have ever had. It tasted like an excellent raspberry but couldn't taste a lick of alcohol. When the manager came around to ask how our meal was and had seen barely any of my margarita gone, I told him it was horrible and it instead of replacing it he just said 'well they are all pre made by restaurant but at the bar it tastes a little different'. For real? lesson learned. .don't ever get their drinks. I ordered a t - bone. Nothing to rave about. Too much fat that I ended up spitting up on my plate. Will never get steak from there again. Only happy part about my visit were the peanuts and the cinnamon butter spread for the buns. Good God, yall suck!!! $36 for absolute shit. Based on how the manager handled the margarita issue I didn't even bother showing him half the meat I spit out on my plate. Guess I'll be going to Logans next time!

When I don't feel like cooking and I want a decently priced steak this is one of my favorites. I always order the ten ounce ribeye done medium with a baked sweet potato and house salad with Italian. Tonight we had about a five minute wait fir seating. Our waitress was prompt and courteous. Once I received my order it was cooked exactly to specification and was delicious. This is definitely one of the chains that gives you a pretty good value for the meal.

Alright so I am not a steak and potatoes kinda gal, but when the craving calls Texas Roadhouse will be where I return. It was a Wednesday night and the place was hopping. Our wait, however, was surprisingly short. Just long enough to get used to the boisterous atmosphere and the decor complete with early seasonal touches. Bring on the food! We both enjoyed our meals and I especially liked the mushrooms for smothering. The portions sure don't disappoint. With such fast and friendly service, you could almost forget there was a full house. Impressive.

Is this a fancy steakhouse??? No. Is it a fun steakhouse with decent prices? Yes. I dont mike steak...but I do like chicken. I have had the Chicken Critter Salad and it is YYUUMMMMYY!! Love it so much, I swear I could eat it every day. I have also had the Smothered Chicken with white gravy, and it has a great flavor as well. I love it! Their dinner rolls are always fresh, hot, and lots of tasty! Love their honey butter. I have also had SEVERAL mixed drinks from here, and they have all been good as well. Great place to take the family.

Amazing food, awesome and friendly staff, decent prices....all you want in a restaurant. This place is really good.

Very busy at dinner, 20mins wait time to get a seat. Food come out pretty fast. Excellent services, and friendly staffs. Enjoyed our dinner here!
(4)Paul Y.
Texas Roadhouse has some rather spectacular dishes. I had gotten the NY strip and it was fantastic. I also got a sidekick of ribs. The ribs were fall off the bone delicious. I could not get enough of them. The rolls are good, but I didn't go for the bread!
(5)Rick S.
I love going to small, local places as much as possible. This hardly qualifies as "small" or, "local". That being said, I cannot begin to express how excellent my experience was at this place. Our server was second to none. I have literally never had a better experience at a restaurant. That is not hyperbole. The ribs were succulent and tasted wonderful. The steak was cooked to perfection. The bread couldn't have been any better. Honestly, I came in with middle of the road expectations but the staff and the food blew me away. If I wasn't from out of state, I would consider being a regular at this location.

About the best steakhouse you'll get for casual dining in Columbus. And by casual I mean the place you go wearing jeans and a sweatshirt and don't expect to pay $100 per person. This place has a few tvs if you want to watch some sports in the background and the help is very friendly. I've eaten here about 5 or 6 times and each time the server is very friendly and very attentive. The steaks are also always cooked exactly how I like them (medium rare). They do keep kind of weird hours though so be aware. For example in December they open for lunch but otherwise they are not open for lunch. And they close a bit early, 10pm during the week. I'm happy to say though our recent dining adventure did go a bit late and they were cool with it. You must try the Chicken Critters - they're so good! Oh and the chili as a side item is a must!
(5)Mike B.
Don't bother making reservations, even if you do it still seems to be first come first serve. Our dinner was interrupted twice, once by a "manager" checking to see if our experience was ok (ask on the exit, not halfway through the meal), and then again by a girl with some sort of gameshow spinning wheel offering us some promotion if we bought gift cards. This was super annoying, and made me not want to really ever return. The food was ok, but greasy, salty, and really just ok. For some reason, people seem to like the place, as it was packed. Not really for me though, and I've definitely had better experiences with this specific chain elsewhere.
(2)Marie D.
We've been back since, and it looks like they've fixed the problem with the dirty utensils. Very clean last time. Food and service still up to snuff. We'll be back.

Normally I'm not a big fan of any of the national chain restaurants and generally prefer to patronize local establishments. And while you have a good selection of locally owned Italian, Mexican, Greek and American restaurants - there are not many locally owned and moderately priced steakhouses to choose from. Texas Roadhouse - despite being a national chain - fits the bill as a moderately priced, family friendly steakhouse. Here's a tip - they don't take reservations but they do offer "CALL AHEAD SEATING" and if you "Call Ahead" you usually get seated within about 10-15 minutes of the promised time - which is really big on busy nights. The thing I really like about Texas Roadhouse is that they offer a pretty decent steak at a good price and they know how to cook a steak to order. With the volume of steaks they prepare, they must have it down to a science in the kitchen. I like my steak RARE and my wife likes her's medium rare. When we order 1 rare and 1 medium rare steak that's generally what we get. And it's rare (pun intended) for most places serving steaks to know how to properly cook a rare steak. The place is a little on the noisy side and is not really good for larger groups since they have a limited number of tables that can accommodate more than 6 people. Service is always fast, efficent and friendly. The hostess who seats you brings a basket of fresh baked rolls to the table when she seats you. There are peanuts on table to munch while waiting for your order. Entrees come with 2 sides and they cound their side salad and their Ceasar salads as 1 side. The Ceasar salad in particular is excellent - nice sized with a decent Ceasar dressing. Unless you like a well-dressed salad - you might want to order your dressing on the side. That still leaves you with options like steak fries, baked potato, baked sweet potato, green beans with ham (my wife's favorite), cole slaw, etc. as a side to go with your steak. And when it comes to ordering your steak, they offer a variety of types and sizes so you can pretty much customize your steak to your tastes and budget. This ain't a Mitchell's or a Ruth Chris' Steahhouse - but the bill won't set you back a car payment like those places. Good steak, good service, good value.

I bet you're expecting me to be a nasty B, aren't you? And by B, clearly I mean Bryant. It's true this isn't really my type of place, but it wasn't a bad experience at all! In fact, it was quite good. Before tonight, I had never been to a Texas Roadhouse, but the Mister and I found ourselves at Polaris and wanting a quick, casual bite to eat. The interior looked pretty much like all the restaurants I grew up with in Louisiana. And there was country music blaring and sports on the TVs. The food was okay. My ribs were good and my baked sweet potato was too, but the green beans were pretty awful as were the potato skins. The real star here is the service. Everyone was fast and friendly--never leaving us wanting anything. A+ for handling a Sunday night crowd with such ease. Will this become my regular spot? No way. But everything was A-okay.
(3)Tana M.
Texas Roadhouse has amazing food but even more amazing and helpful staff. The atmosphere was welcoming and was enjoyable by our whole family. I recommend this restaurant to couples as well as larger families.
(4)Aric W.
Service and steak was great.
(4)Adrienne C.
There ain't nothin' wrong with this joint! It's probably my go-to spot when im feelin the Ron Swanson bug - "You had me at 'Meat Tornado!'" but seriously, this place is a solid deal for a fine piece of steak. I always get the 10 ounce ft. worth ribeye ($16) and have never had any complaints. the 2 complimentary sides are good too (I usually get the green beans and a caesar salad). Granted, i suspect that the yumminess has a lot to do with the copious amounts of butter slathered on everything ....but heY! it's called **TEXAS** roadhouse - go big or go home. tip: get dressing on the side when you order a caesar salad
(3)Allan A.
I am a yelp mission! One yelp review each week. I went their with my son and we both ordered Dallas fillets. Both of our Dallas fillets came out perfectly cooked and in a timely manner. Waitress was nice and friendly.
(5)Alex A.
Gotta say, I was pleasantly surprised. The food was really good and service was nice too. For a chain, this location is worth a visit. All the staff had smiles and the ribs were very tender.
(5)Rob A.
Great steak and great service! Sam at the bar was attentive without being intrusive and was expert at the subtle upsell. Steak was hot and cooked exactly as ordered. There's a reason this place is so busy.
(5)Blaine G.
Great food, great prices, fast service, and super friendly staff. Brent went out of his way to make us feel welcome. Highly recommend.
(5)Roger F.
Fresh cut steaks cooked to order. Salad fresh. Green beans had great flavor. Amanda the waitress made us feel welcome. Love it oh price was great too
(2)Ryan F.
Great Food, Service, and Price- highly recommended!! The bone in ribeye is their specialty and I recommend it!!
(5)Yianni C.
It was a good meal. The bread and butter were heart warming and the salad with cheese and egg which most places would be unheard of was a pleasant surprise. The steak was cooked really juicy for a medium and the sweet potato was done perfectly. Margaritas were on special and not bad for the price. Be ready to pay 15 to 20 dollars for any good steak because after all steak is expensive these days. Reason they got a 4 star from me because the floors, walls had this feeling of no one cared what they looked like with scuff marks and dirt that you could visibly see. I don't even care about the peanuts on the floor, I mean dirt. I know they are trying to give that country look but country look is not dirty. Have been back twice, place looks always busy and well attentive and will visit again.
(4)Linda P.
The ribs were great. Super friendly waiter. We really enjoyed it.
(5)Jodi L.
My kid loves Monday night kids night. The service is ok; but the food is hit or miss usually more of a miss. They over season their grill chicken and shrimp all the time and even when you ask for it unseasoned its still way too salty. So I have found the best thing to eat is a baked potato.
(2)Steve G.
You know you're in a crappy steakhouse when the butter that comes with the rolls is the highlight of the meal. The Ft Worth Ribeye was aptly named. This steak was so tough it seems it traveled here on the sole of Forrest Gumps shoe. I ordered it medium, it came out well done. My jaw muscles were not up to the Olympic task of chewing this piece of cow. Marbling? No, that is gristle. Fat breaks down when you cook it. You should not feel you are chewing someone's outer ear when eating meat. Beer selection was bad. Roll butter was good.
(2)Mike G.
So this is long overdue. I really like the food here. I dont have gripe there. What I do have to say is this....dirty dish. Going out is hard enough as it is and you throw a dirty dish at me! To big of a chain to let this slip by.
(2)Dan H.
Disappointing night! So salty that I can't taste the meat. Had much better steak even in Hometown buffet. The manager asked how was the food. I can't begin to say salty because I don't think he could do anything. I opted say ok but wanted to say terribly salty.
(2)Zain K.
For $9.99 you can get a nicely seasoned and prepared 6oz sirloin with a choice of two sides and AYCE breadrolls and peanuts (though you may not want to AYCE the breadrolls, as they're 216 calories each, and that's before the cinnamon butter!). All that and solid service in a comfortable, unpretentious environment. There's absolutely nothing not to like about that. Yes, it's not Mitchell's, but then again neither are the prices.
(5)Teri D.
And by as good as it gets, I mean for what this place is - this is pretty darn good!!!! The place was packing, but we managed to get in when there was a window open and did not have to wait. We sat in the Willie Nelson section (apparently each section has a theme) and had the prerequisite bucket of peanuts waiting on the table for us. We threw a couple on the floor just for the hell of it and pushed the bucket aside. We had THE most friendly server ever - Erina. She explained the joint to us as we had never been to one before. She had me at hot rolls every five minutes. Hubs ordered the 12oz ribeye with sides and I had the 10oz prime rib. And unlike some joints that charge you almost the price of a six pack for one beer - I got one beer for 3$. The food arrived quickly enough (the honey butter on the rolls had me in bread-vana) and it was good except my prime rib was too pink for me. They came and swooped it up and took it away to cook it to my liking. It's interesting how degrees of doneness vary from one restaurant to another. The steamed broccoli and carrots I had were not good to me at all - next time will try something else - but when my prime rib came back? YUMMMMMM! And hubs was in his happy beef eating zone. The manager even came by to "apologize" for my meat being not cooked to my liking and gave us a coupon to come back and have a free appetizer. It's not fancy, it blares country music, peanut shells all over the floor, and often a line........who cares!!!! Great food at a great price! We had enough left over for sandwiches the next day. And I did ask for some more rolls to go with our doggie bag. YEEE HAWWW!!! Let me add this - the price of our meals with tip was less than some steakhouse foo foo places we've gone to for one meal and with no leftovers!
(5)Rick M.
Texas Roadhouse is a chain, and the menu is what you'd expect from a steak house chain. Two things set the Polaris Texas Roadhouse apart from all the rest. The service here is amazing! From the hosts at the door to the bussing staff and all in between, making sure the customer has the best experience is the first priority here. I've been coming here for years and have never had a bad experience. Also, the grill staff knows how to exactly cook a steak. they get rare, medium rare and so forth PERFECT! For steak houses, this is THE place to go
(4)Anne C.
This is like any standard Texas Roadhouse you may have experienced. Country music, peanuts, dancing servers and good steak. I've been to many fancier and more expensive places, but Roadhouse seems to prepare their steaks as well as any of them, good good steak. And I love their salads and their rolls with the cinnamon butter...I could make a meal on them alone!
(4)Steve M.
Very good steaks and atmosphere. Bar items are a bit pricey and the peanut shells on the floor was unique in the 80's. The warm rolls and cinnamon butter is a real crowd pleaser. I wish the bar selection (beer) was more varied.
(3)Lisette T.
Chains are hit or miss. I have in the past been to some Texas Roadhouses that were pretty good.. But for the Polaris Texas Roadhouse- SO disappointed! I have not had a steak in maybe 2 to 4 months now. Ready to have a hot juicy beautiful steak. I ordered the 10 oz Ribeye for $16 & was SO disappointed. It was the ugliest piece of meat I have ever been given. I would not even cut into it. What for? It looked nasty! How do you present a plate like that in a restaurant? I complained. The waitress was very good, apologized, offered to bring something else out, took it off the bill. However, at this point, I wanted nothing else. SO disappointed. How do you send out a piece of meat like that? It was like in 3 pieces connected by fat. What kind of garbage was that? After she had come back from the kitchen, she explained that the kitchen staff said it was the end of the loin. AGAIN - how in the world is that acceptable to send out that piece of meat to a customer? I would have given that to my dog- maybe, not to a person. So on that note, even though the waitress was awesome, I did not get what I wanted and found that SO horrible - I will NEVER go back. It is my 2nd experience at this location in the last year and both not good. Do not go here if you want decent food for the price. My boys got the country fried sirloin - 4 at the table. They all came in different sizes and were so over-done, it was crap. Usually you go to a restaurant and pay lots more money - for items you really couldn't cook better. For Texas Roadhouse in Polaris - YES - even the worst cook in the world could make the food better. I think they have apes working in their kitchen. We got free appetizer cards and they went right in the trash. Why in the world would I return?! Of course I didn't make a stink about it there - what for? Your food is terrible - and the Kitchen Manager - SHAME ON YOU! Check what they're doing! You think giving out these free app cards satisfies anything? It doesn't. People work hard to make their money to take their family out to pay for a great meal. NOT be served mediocre garbage. You need to start caring about what you're doing. OK people - WHERE do I get a great steak - not Texas Roadhouse - that's for sure!
(1)Courtney W.
Where do I begin..? I should probably start by saying that while indeed it was a dark & stormy night, the night did manage to pick itself back up by the end; that is, by the time we headed for the door everything was fixed. Ive never been to a Texas Roadhouse before, never having had them where we lived. Intended for Carrabba's since we had a coupon, we ended up changing our mind when the rain started; we didnt feel like driving 15mins on 315 just to eat. The hubby was craving ribs so I did a search and found this place. Of course i used Yelp since its never failed me. The only TR that had good reviews was the one right next to Carrabbas...which we werent driving to! The closest one was 5 mins away, just around the corner. The reviews for the TR at Polaris was high praise for their steaks, so I started getting excited; Mmm Mmm beef! We ended up getting there around 6:30, except there was no dinner crowd...guess it was the rain? We sat down at one of those half booths on some type of raised platform which made for a hard time getting down after dinner, and the hubby didnt have as much room to spread out..oh well..right? Were thinking positive still. I should add..hardly any peanut shells on the floor and we couldnt hear any music at all. The waitress was wonderful, very quick and responsive and very friendly. They were having a $4 long island special so quickly ordered 2 & a blooming onion (dont remember what they call their version). Usually i hate the onion, always being over cooked on the outside and too mushy on the inside...this one was perfect. The rolls were warm and the cinnamon butter was a treat! We ended up ordering the a rack of ribs and the rib eye steak with ceaser salads, green beans & fries (2 sides each) to share. We got our salads not even 5 mins later...strange but ok. 5 more mins later (not enough time to finish half the salad) we got our onion app...getting stressed now and feeling rushed. Our poor tiny little table couldnt squeeze anything else on it ...so we order more drinks anyway. Why not?! We finished our salad and ate half the onion by the time our dinners arrived...again way too early. We sent the onion away unable to finish it. Our rare steak was just barely cooked and much too rare, so my husband was happy (he likes it blue-rare..basically not cooked) but i sent my half to be up cooked a bit; i like med-rare. On to the ribs! We each took one....and spit it out. I dont think ive had a rib so dry and tasteless in all my life! Hubby agrees and calls the waitress over. Hubbs isnt a man to pay for something he doesnt L.O.V.E (ive gotten used to this) ..that said..he hated it and wanted either a refund or new nums. We were surprised when the manager came over, not because he was apologetic but because he took the liberty of re-ordering the ribs for us for free. We took away the crappy ones and brought us fresh new ribs (with a few extra bones to help say he was sorry) Before we could try the new ribs, my steak came. And..well..way over cooked; well done in fact. Poor Mr Manager had picked the best time to give us our new ribs. When he left with the crappy ribs he also took my over cooked steak away with even more apologies this time. The waitress kept bringing us drinks during all of this so we werent upset much, even hubby wasnt pissy yet! I kept nummin on the bread & cinnamon butter and sippin my long island and all was fine with the world. The waitress came back again to see how we liked the ribs (which we wonderful now. Very juicy, but far from the best ribs ever...smokey bones was better.) And to also let us know that she re ordered the steak for me and handed us a huge doggie bag alone with fries, my green beans (which never made it to the table, extra rolls and butter, my new steak (med-rare)...and we also put the ribs in there too..full from all the bread and alcohol.) Before we left, the manager brought us our check which we informed us that only included the alcohol we drank. He took all the food off the bill with out us asking to. Amazing. This review, while still upbeat, would have been a lot harsher if management was so dam terrific! I might be back for a steak, but not for ribs. Such good steaks! So even after all the problems, i would still recommend this place for steaks & alcohol specials. The 3 stars are for their management, without them i would have given them a 0:5. If the food was better right from the start id say 4:5 stars..since their ribs werent the greatest anyway.

The Polaris location has horrible staff, they need a new team or retrain the group. I did the call ahead and I will say that it was prompt but, after being seated which if I moved an inch I would hit the couple behind me but, the waitress brought drinks and never refilled. I ordered a steak medium and it came out rare. I did complain as I am not a fan of rare and they literally went back and microwaved my steak which turned out well, well done and tough. My husband steak had the same issue and then the manager came to apologize and literally gave two free appetizers for next time but, thats not the kicker, the appetizers were either the onion bloom (whatever it's called) or fried pickles, well I hate to say it but, we don't eat either and the manager walked away. I had a family of 5 and it's sad when my kids are thirsty and can't get a refill nor an apology and nicely I tried to complain to the manager because I just really wanted a fresh steak she said "NO". I also find it funny that their receipts don't have any number to call and rate the staff cause they stand around talking half the time anyway.
(1)Christopher J.
Where I come from, we have a lot of great restaurants that receive multiple Michelin stars. Texas Roadhouse doesn't exist in my city. I wasn't all that impressed with the bloomin onion as an appetizer. I was offered bread but declined. How good could the bread be??!! This is a "chain" restaurant. I ordered the roasted chicken, mashed potatoes and green beans. This wasn't recommended by staff but ordered it anyway as it is a good measuring stick. The chicken was excellent and succulent. Great flavor and cooked perfectly. I will visit Texas Roadhouse anytime I am in town. You won't go wrong and the price makes this a bargain. Staff was friendly and service was very good. and, the bread...I had it and it was excellent. Not a big fan of the music...but I'll get through it for the food.
(4)Corey R.
Went to the Roadhouse last night and had an 8oz Sirloin that was perfectly cooked. The service was great along with the atmosphere and I'll definitely visit this spot again. Large Drafts were only $3 and really went well with the meal. Great chain restaurant and amazingly cooked steaks!
(4)Stephanie B.
In my opinion, Texas Roadhouse is a lot like you'd expect it to be. Steaks, ribs and more with a southern flair. But still very much like everywhere else without a lot of creativity. It's a nice enough place, but there's only one thing that really stood out to me, and it hasn't been enough to make me go back since. A friend and I ate here one night before we went out to the bars. He wanted a big juicy burger, so we thought that this place looked as good as any. I think it was his choice, because I don't usually go to places like this. If I wanted a burger around this area, I would have gone to Red Robin. So I we go and it's like a complete transformation from the cold and snow outside to Texas. Well, maybe not, but it was blaring cheesy country music and everything looked like the inside of a ranch. Texas is probably nothing like that. What I've seen of it wasn't. Sorry to insult you, Texas. Anyway, we were seated at this little table for two that I didn't think was going to big enough to hold all of our plates. I hate two person tables sometimes, especially at restaurants like this. It's too cramped. We got our menus and instantly I realized I was not in the mood for this place. It's all steaks and ribs and slabs of meat, chicken breasts, and I just wasn't in the mood. I needed a drink. They boast that their margaritas are "legendary." I don't take the words of Barney Stinson lightly (sorry, How I Met Your Mother reference!), so I got one. They weren't bad, but I think they oversold them. I am by no means a margarita connoisseur, but I've had better. But I needed it if I was going to sit through a dinner with this awful music twanging in my ears. And here's the best part of the experience. They brought out a basket of rolls to our table with a cup of butter. Yes, this was the best part. Why? The rolls were good, but the butter was great! It was like this whipped honey butter that tasted like heaven on the rolls. I've definitely never been that excited about butter. But it's pretty sad that the rolls were all I was excited about. I wanted something light for dinner. Well, I really just wanted more rolls, but that's not exactly healthy. And I'm not sure, you might only get one basket per table because they never brought out more. Our server was nice enough, but she was pretty spotty, so maybe she just forgot. Which isn't cool. I wanted rolls! Anyway, I decided on a salad since I didn't just want a huge chunk of meat. I mean, I'm not even kidding. There were only 5 sandwich choices on the menu and most of them were burgers. Everything else? MEAT. So I reluctantly got the Chicken Critter Salad. What the hell? I really didn't want to order something with "Critter" in the title. In fact, it bothered me so much that I just pointed to the menu when the server came by and said, " I want this." I refused to say I wanted critter for dinner. So what was it? Just a stupid salad with chicken strips on it. Nothing special about it, just your typical veggies, bacon, cheese, egg and chicken. The salad wasn't even as big as I expected. Yet it was still $9. I wasn't impressed. It tasted like any other salad from anywhere else, and I didn't have enough to take with me when we left. I should mention that we had to wait quite a while for our food. It was like half an hour or more until our dinners came out. They seemed pretty busy because it was a Saturday night, but it was later, around like 9. It was also very loud in here, and we had to shout across the table at each other. We both ended up drinking too many margaritas because we were waiting forever for our food. And the margaritas were expensive! Like $7 or $8 a piece. Our bills were both way too much. We each spent well over $30 a person. I was not happy about this, but it was my own fault. Kind of. I'm going to take this moment to vent about something right now. What is the deal with most restaurants NOT putting the prices on the drink menus? Why is that so hard? I would like to have some idea of the damage before I get the bill and have a heart attack. Maybe it's because their prices are always crazy and no one would ever order them if they knew how much they cost. That is my theory, so I want to try to boycott drinks from places without prices on the menus when they'll list the price of everything else. If we can know how much our dinners, appetizers and desserts are, why not our drinks? Such a rip off. I'm sorry. I'll get back to the review at hand. There isn't much else to say about the experience. My friend liked his burger but didn't think it was anything exceptional. The margaritas were OK but too expensive. My salad was bleh. No more "critters" for me. The rolls were delicious. The atmosphere was crowded and loud and I hate country music. This is not the place for me. I don't think I'll be back unless I'm with someone who insists on coming here. At least maybe then I can get some rolls again.
(2)Bill D.
oldest son loves the place - he can put peanut shells on the floor... Steak is always cooked properly, decent flavor, always great service. for the amount you spend its great.
