Hours vary by location — check your restaurant before you head out. Hours vary by location. The days marked closed here are company-wide; everything else is your local store or restaurant’s call, so check before you go.
Texas Roadhouse keeps two days a year sacred: Thanksgiving and Christmas Day, when every location in the country closes so crews can be home. The rest of the calendar it runs — evenings on weekdays, lunch and dinner on weekends — with each restaurant setting its own exact hours.
That split is the whole answer for most holidays: if the day isn't Thanksgiving or Christmas, your Roadhouse is very likely open, and the only question is when the doors unlock.
