Texas Roadhouse has quietly become America’s favorite casual dining chain, surpassing even Olive Garden in popularity. While the restaurant is known for its fresh rolls, steaks, and lively atmosphere, its best offering isn’t served at the restaurant—it’s available for pickup.
The chain offers family-style dinners designed for takeout, a fact that isn’t widely advertised. These “Family Packs” are a surprisingly affordable way to enjoy Texas Roadhouse favorites at home, bypassing the dine-in costs and prep work.
The Secret Menu: How to Find Family Packs
Texas Roadhouse doesn’t prominently display these meals on its standard online menu. Instead, they appear only when you select a specific restaurant location. This makes the deal somewhat obscure, but easily accessible with a few clicks.
The options vary by location but typically include chicken, BBQ, beef tips, and sirloin steaks. Each pack feeds roughly four people, and comes with sides such as mashed potatoes, green beans, corn, rice, and steak fries. A dozen yeast rolls with honey cinnamon butter are also included.
The Value Proposition: Savings and Flexibility
The economics are compelling. A sirloin steak family pack for four costs $59.99 ($14.99 per person), compared to $85.95 ($22.49 per person) if ordered individually at the restaurant.
Beyond the savings, these meals offer versatility. Customers can repurpose the components into multiple meals throughout the week, making them a convenient alternative to meal kit services. For example, leftover steak can be sliced for stir-fries, and salad can be topped with rotisserie chicken for a quick dinner.
How to Order
- Visit the Texas Roadhouse website and click “Order to-Go”.
- Enter your ZIP code or city to find your nearest location.
- Choose curbside pickup or in-store pickup and select a time.

Texas Roadhouse Family Packs provide a surprisingly effective solution for busy weeknights, offering both cost savings and convenience without sacrificing quality. This hidden menu option proves that sometimes, the best dining experience isn’t had in the restaurant, but from it.
