17 Copycat Texas Roadhouse Recipes

We love Texas Roadhouse’s hearty comfort food, like hand-cut steaks, fall-off-the-bone ribs, made-from-scratch sides, and their to-die-for fresh-baked rolls with honey cinnamon butter, all of which are ahhhmazing. They’re so popular around my house that I’ve recreated many of their most popular dishes (my kids often demand the delicious chili and creamy ranch dressing on everything). So saddle up and enjoy this roundup, including mine and other food bloggers’ creations!

All She Cooks has THE fried pickles recipe you want!

Texas Roadhouse Fried Pickles

Since I live in Tennessee, fried pickles are a part of history around here, and I really adore the Texas Roadhouse version. Seasonings and flour coat pickles, then they’re deep-fried to perfection and served with a Cajun mayo. I really love All She Cooks’ copycat recipe, and make it for game day often!

Main Dishes

Texas Roadhouse Chili

I absolutely devour their chili every time I visit the restaurant on a family dinner night out, but now you can skip the line and make a big batch at home. It’s super savory, filling, and perfectly spiced. Top with shredded cheddar and chopped red onions (and don’t forget the rolls!).

Texas Roadhouse Smothered Chicken

Sooo yummy, I feel like there’s no other way to eat chicken breasts than this! Topped with a cheesy mushroom and onion sauce, tender chicken breasts are packed with incredible flavor. It’s crazy how easy this is to make on a busy weeknight!

Texas Roadhouse Herb Crusted Chicken

Sometimes the easiest Texas Roadhouse dishes are the most delicious. Chicken breasts are coated in delicious seasonings (dill, oregano, garlic powder, paprika) and grilled or pan-fried to intense flavor. This is great for meal prepping through the week!

Eating on a Dime has the easiest-to-follow recipe for this copycat dinner!

Texas Roadhouse Prime Rib

Sunday dinner just got amazing! Make this prime rib easily by marinating it in soy sauce, liquid smoke, pepper, fresh garlic, and granulated sugar. It creates a deep smoky flavor and succulent, fall-off-the-bone meat. Eating on a Dime’s recipe is on my list to try!

Butter Your Biscuit’s recipe is sooo good, and her blog name is cute!

Texas Roadhouse Chicken Fried Steak With Gravy

This is popular for a reason! And there’s a big tip: cube steak is soaked in buttermilk and dredged in flour, but the REAL secret ingredient is saltines, which give the steak its crunchy coating. Then use the pan drippings by adding flour, butter, and milk to make the most flavorful gravy. Check out Butter Your Biscuit’s take on this classic Texas Roadhouse dish below!

Side Dishes

Texas Roadhouse Green Beans

Every bit as tasty as the original, these combine tender green beans with crispy bacon and sautéed onion to recreate their epic side dish. This super simple recipe puts a whole new spin on green beans!

A copycat recipe that’s ideal for game day, cookouts, or just cause you feel like it. These potatoes come out with crisp skins, fluffy middles, and that signature salted crust that are ready to load up with all your favorite toppings, or served ‘loaded’ with the classic restaurant combo of sour cream, crispy bacon, chopped green onions, and shredded cheddar cheese!

This copycat recipe by The Cookin’ Chicks is the real deal!

Texas Roadhouse Loaded Sweet Potato

These do feel decadent, but oh so worth it, and they’re easy to recreate at home! Baked and mashed sweet potatoes are topped with brown sugar, butter, chopped pecans, and cinnamon. But it doesn’t end there: mini marshmallows are the final topping, then everything is broiled until caramelized and gooey! And the Cookin’ Chicks offer a delicious recipe for you to try!

I’m loving Bowl Me Over’s version of this famous dish!

Texas Roadhouse Mashed Potatoes

Mashed potatoes are mashed potatoes, but sometimes they can be downright heavenly; this copycat recipe takes the potato genre up a notch. Russet potatoes, heavy cream, a full stick of butter, and fresh green onions are turned into creamy, buttery potatoes that melt in your mouth. Do use Bowl Me Over’s recipe to make your next Thanksgiving or dinner party legendary.

Sauces, Seasonings & Spreads

Texas Roadhouse Steak Seasoning

After eating steak at Texas Roadhouse, I tend to leave craving their seasoning. So, I decided to make my own version! All you do is combine a plethora of yummy seasonings, such as smoked paprika, turmeric, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and more! Throw in some cornstarch so it sticks to your meat, and you can use it not only for steak, but also for pork, ribs, and chicken wings.

Texas Roadhouse Cinnamon Honey Butter

Sure, this is a little rich and sweet, but isn’t it worth it?? I offer an easy, homemade version of the delicious cinnamon honey butter from Texas Roadhouse, made with 6 simple ingredients: confectioner’s sugar, butter, honey, vanilla extract, and salt for a little balance. You’ll obviously want to pair this with the TR famous bread rolls (scroll up to grab that one), but you can also use this with cornbread, banana bread, pancakes, sweet potato waffles, or even directly on sweet potatoes, too!

Texas Roadhouse Ranch Dressing

This easy, 3-ingredient copycat recipe is made from mayo, buttermilk, and ranch seasoning, and tastes just like the restaurant’s! You won’t believe how good it tastes drizzled over salads, or served as a next-level dip for veggies or chicken wings.

Drinks

This lemonade from Natasha’s Kitchen looks SO refreshing and perfect for late spring or summer!

Strawberry Lemonade

This delicious strawberry lemonade recipe from Natasha’s Kitchen is a reasonable copycat for the Texas Roadhouse version. While hers includes basil, you can leave it out for authenticity. But the beauty of “inspired by the original drink” is the ability to make it your own!
