In the past, Texas Roadhouse restaurants featured peanut shells covering the floor, inviting guests to toss shells while waiting for their meals. Nowadays, this tradition has changed. Patrons can still request peanuts, but they come in packets instead of being served loose. This change is largely due to safety concerns, as several lawsuits arose from patrons slipping on shells, alongside health considerations such as germ spreading and peanut allergies.
The all-American cheeseburger at Texas Roadhouse, often overcooked and lacking seasoning, is better avoided; many customers find it unsatisfactory and prefer homemade alternatives.
When discussing Texas Roadhouse's Scratch-made Texas red chili, a Reddit post revealed that every bowl contains high-quality beef from their USDA Choice steaks, like filet and ribeye, leading to an unexpectedly premium chili experience. This makes it both a flavorful and economical choice.
