Specials 2026
Every deal running right now: Early Dine meals from $8.99, Legends Hour drink specials, Wild West Wednesday, and family meal packs, broken down day by day.
From $8.99
Early Dine meals
Mon-Thu
Best days to go
$3
Happy hour drafts
Short answer: go Monday through Thursday, between 3 and 5 PM
That window stacks the two biggest specials at once: the Early Dine menu, with full meals priced $8.99 to $10.99 instead of $14 to $18, and Legends Hour drink pricing with $3 drafts. No coupon needed for either, you just have to be seated before 5 PM.
Texas Roadhouse almost never runs traditional coupons, and that trips people up when they search for deals. The savings are built into the schedule instead: a discounted early-evening menu on weekdays, happy hour drink pricing in the same window, cheaper lunch portions on weekends, and family meal packs that undercut ordering entrees individually.
This page rounds up every special that actually exists in 2026, what it costs, when it runs, and which ones depend on your location, so you are not hunting through expired coupon sites.
The Specials Worth Planning Around
Four deals do almost all the work. Here is what each one gets you.
Early Dine
$8.99 - $10.99 meals
Mon-Thu, seated 3:00-5:00 PM
A dedicated menu of full-size entrees with two sides at $5 to $7 off dinner pricing. Sirloin, ribs, chicken critters, pulled pork, and more. The single best everyday deal Texas Roadhouse offers.

$3 drafts, ~$4 cocktails

Discounted draft beers, select cocktails, and appetizer deals in the same window as Early Dine. Pricing varies by state alcohol laws, but the window is consistent at most locations.
Happy hour details by drink →Family Meal Packs
From $29.99, feeds 4-5
Every day, takeout
Bundled entree, two large sides, and rolls with cinnamon butter. Ordering the same food as individual entrees runs $15 to $30 more, so this is the strongest takeout deal on the menu.
All family meal options →Weekend Lunch Pricing
From $10.99
Sat-Sun open to ~3 PM, where offered
Smaller-portion lunch plates of the same entrees at a few dollars under dinner price. Most stores open at 11 AM on weekends; many do not open until 3 PM on weekdays, so lunch is mostly a weekend deal.

Details →Texas Roadhouse Specials: Common Questions
What specials does Texas Roadhouse have right now?
The biggest ongoing special is Early Dine: discounted full meals, typically $8.99 to $10.99, for guests seated Monday through Thursday between 3:00 and 5:00 PM. During those same hours most locations also run Legends Hour drink specials with reduced drafts and cocktails. On top of that, family meal packs, weekend lunch pricing, and location-specific promotions like Wild West Wednesday run throughout the year.
Does Texas Roadhouse have daily specials?
Texas Roadhouse does not publish a different special for every day of the week nationwide. The reliable weekday deal is Early Dine, available Monday through Thursday from 3 to 5 PM. Some individual locations add their own day-specific promotions, such as Wild West Wednesday, so it is worth checking your local store’s page or calling ahead.
What is Wild West Wednesday at Texas Roadhouse?
Wild West Wednesday is a location-specific promotion offered at participating Texas Roadhouse restaurants, most commonly a discounted 8 oz sirloin meal on Wednesdays. It is not a nationwide corporate special, so availability and pricing vary by store. Call your local Texas Roadhouse to confirm whether they run it.
What time is the Texas Roadhouse early bird special?
The early bird deal, officially called Early Dine, requires being seated between 3:00 PM and 5:00 PM, Monday through Thursday. You order from a dedicated Early Dine menu with meals typically priced $8.99 to $10.99, which saves roughly $5 to $7 versus regular dinner pricing on the same items.
Does Texas Roadhouse have happy hour drink specials?
Yes. Most locations run Legends Hour from 3 to 5 PM Monday through Thursday, with deals like $3 draft beers and around $4 select cocktails, alongside discounted appetizers. Exact pricing varies by state and local alcohol laws, so check with your location.
Does Texas Roadhouse offer senior, military, or birthday specials?
Yes on all three. Many locations honor a senior discount or offer the Early Dine menu to seniors outside standard hours, veterans and active-duty military receive a free meal on Veterans Day plus discounts at many stores year-round, and joining the Texas Roadhouse VIP Club gets you a free appetizer or Sidekick offer on your birthday.
