Why California Costs More
Third-party price trackers report California as the most expensive state for Texas Roadhouse — one widely cited ranking puts the average California basket at $18.62 versus $16.70 nationally, about 11.5% above average (usafoodjournal, per their 47-state comparison; we have not independently verified their methodology). The gap shows up widest in family packs: their data shows Family Sized Pork Chops at $54.99 in California versus $29.99 in Louisiana. Within California, we have no verified data on city-to-city differences — but the chain’s California footprint clusters in Central Valley and Inland Empire cities (Modesto, Tracy, Rialto, Fairfield) rather than coastal metros, and local operating costs (including California’s minimum-wage laws) are the commonly cited driver. Use the typical prices on this page for budgeting, then confirm with your specific location.
Are Texas Roadhouse prices the same at every California (CA) location?
No. Prices can differ between California locations — always check your local restaurant before visiting.
Our own 20-location check also found California dearest, at $83.95 observed — see the 10-state price check.

Feeding a group? Family meal packs typically start from $33 and feed about 4–6 people — see our family meal guide. The deepest regular-menu discount is Early Dine: full entrees with sides from about $10 during a limited early-evening window, though one national report notes California locations reaching $14.99 (Tasting Table). Hours vary by California restaurant. The most affordable single items are the pulled pork dinner (about $14) and kids meals (from $6). California also has its own menu namesakes worth trying: the California Chicken Salad and California Chicken Dinner.
